About this house rental
Crystal River has been recognized as one of the " Most Charming" small towns in the USA by HGTV and was also voted a top 10 Best Summer Travel Destination by USA TODAY 10 best Readers Choice. It wont take you long to realize why!
This beautiful three story detached house with 3900 sq feet, overlooks a natural tidal lagoon in Kings Bay Crystal River, Florida .Definitely family friendly with large screened in pool ( not heated), huge lot with outdoor fire pit and room for games like corn hole on the lawn. Expect to have coffee in rocking chairs with a direct view of Kings Bay and spot the manatees while you do it. With ample patio decks you will spend a lot of down time just taking in the view and peace. Have dinner on the top deck, the middle deck over looking the pool or ground floor. This house is beautifully appointed and the kitchen is any cooks dream.
Inside there is plenty of room for everyone to find there on special spot. A spacious open plan encourages family dining and TV watching or go and search our a corner to enjoy a book. Plenty of books to choose from. Relaxation and family time is key to the ambience we are trying to provide you as you visit the gem that is Florida;s Nature Coast.
We pretty much guarantee you will be back once you have had an opportunity to experience the lifestyle and friendliness of this special area.Please note if you have a boats and tie to seawall it is a tidal sea wall and tides can get low. Check Kings Bay tide. You will need fenders to protect and some people tie up nose in.
Carry the kayaks across the road to a custom kayak launch and paddle directly into Kings Bay with its many natural springs and plenty of interaction with nature.
We are minutes by car to the famous Three Sisters Springs where hundreds of manatees gather in the cooler months. Also close is Hunter Springs with crystal clear waters to swim in, a sandy beach, playground and kayak and paddleboard launch.
Another small beach is just a few miles down the road at Ft Island Trail.
Want to experience glass bottom boat tours or dream of swimming with the manatees? Wanna learn to scuba dive or snorkel? We have many trusted guides and teachers in the area. Other ecological boat tours leave from the beautiful Crystal River State Preserve near the thought provoking Indian Burial grounds.
How about fishing? Offshore? In shore? We have many professional Captains who will put you on them and most will do scalloping trips too
After that busy day you will want to relax poolside . It is a very large pool area completely under a screen. The pool is NOT heated
We consider ourselves blessed with the wide choices of wining and dining venues. Some can be reached by boat and others by car and definitely make a point of going downtown for First Friday of the Month (weather permitting ) where locals and visitors mingle in a relaxed atmosphere listening to live music and supporting local vendors while enjoying a beverage in hand.
Shop til you drop downtown or if you need bigger outlet stores then Lecanto and Inverness are just 15 minutes away.
Theme parks like Universal and DIsney can be reached easily in two hours. Likewise the world famous Gulf beaches at St Pete and Clearwater are about 2 hours door to beach.
If you have a special event or question please contact Annie and will will really try to be your conciege ahead of time

The house was in perfect shape and everything was as it was presented in the pictures. The pool was perfect for our needs and plenty of room if you wanted to lay or sit in the sun. This house has plenty of room. Kitchen was big and laid out nicely. Oven microwave stove and oven top with 5 eyes. I did see a grill but didn’t use it. Loved being right on the water and could sit in the rocking chairs with morning coffee looking at it. This house to being close to town you never heard anything. The neighborhood was friendly and quiet. The owner got sick but still checked in with me through the week several times to make sure everything was going as I wanted. I couldn’t find anything negative to put in here. They also had kayaks and dishing poles for use.

Great location in Crystal River for our family reunion. A unique and comfortable home. We used the kayaks daily and saw dolphins & manatees in the channel across the street. Thanks Annie!

Some outlets didn't work.Mold in the caulking in the bathtub. I purchased a spray with bleach and sent before and after pictures to the owner. Pots in the kitchen in poor shape. The coffee pot was dirty.The owner was sent pictures.With her approval I tossed (1) frying pan in the trash. Not all people know how to clean a house. And when the owner dosn't make surprise visits on her cleaning crew or person, they don't know what shortcuts they are taking.We use to do VRBO cleanings, and always got our client an honest 5 star rating. This owner seemed to be surprised by my suggestions. Maybe the word "clean" resonates differently.The showers on all 3 levels would go from hot to cold before you could get the soap off of yourself or out of your hair. The air mattress in the downstairs area should be stated as such and not beds, they were to high and my brother in law said very uncomfortable, so he choose to sleep on the couch. The owner did give back a small return. But without being nasty I felt it was overpriced for what we recieved. I could continue with the issues but not sure it would be worth it on this format.I did several loads of towels and sheets, before we left. I sent pictures to show what was done to the owner.
