About this house rental
Welcome to the scallop shack! Fully renovated!
This home features a beautiful view of Indian Lake, and a beautiful deep canal, connecting it directly to Crystal River with a 15 to 20 minute boat ride. From the boat dock, you can see Manatees play and catch incredible fish. One two person and two smaller one person kayaks are included in the rental. There is a private boat dock on the other side of the lake that is inexpensive and easy to launch from. Within walking distance of the house is a friendly liquor store and the biscuit barn — best breakfast anywhere!!!
If you turn left out of the canal, you will be in Kings Bay, the canals are very well marked so you can go out for dinner at the wonderful waterfront restaurants and have no trouble finding your way home. If you turn right out of the canal you had to the grass flats where scallops abound!!
Relax around the fire pit in comfortable chairs at night. Enjoy the warm breezes in the screened in Lanai. There are three cozy bedrooms with televisions in each one. The master features, a king bed and en suite bathroom. There is a very private queen bedroom in the back corner of the house, and the middle bedroom has a trundle bed with two twins. All of the bedrooms have nice closet space, and bright windows. The master bathroom has a shower and the hallway bathroom has a shower with a tub. In the living room there is a double Murphy bed. The house sleeps 8 comfortably.
Sometimes we have rainy days, and there is a dining table that converts to a pool table for a little indoor entertainment😊

Clean updated and as described on the listing. Excellent location to all of the attractions only 2 miles to the center of restaurants, shops and attractions. Host provided bicycles, kayaks, pool noodles and beach chairs. Perfect host and property I will be suggesting this location to friends and family.

Enjoyed our stay a lot. When we booked, it was a little surprise when we got charged extra for housekeeping. Thought posting said all fees included. That said, it was a comfortable stay. As a older home, it had a few quirks but once figured out ..it was good. Aaron and Cori couldn't have been more accommodating. Anything we needed was taken care of quickly. Was a very quiet neighborhood and as shown. Everything was supplied and more. The king bed was a little high, but the queen was very comfortable. Gel. Would considering staying again.

We had a wonderful week at this home. The location was everything: corner lot of with the lake/canal in the backyard. We fished there and saw manatees from the Florida room. The host’s response to any questions was immediate. The kitchen remodel to “new” was appreciated by the ladies. The convertible dining/pool/ping pong table was a pleasant store our grandkids. There are kayaks and bikes in the garage but they were not in a condition we thought would be safe as they appeared in need of some repair. Overall. Our week was wonderful without the typical spring break crowds. The manatees however had left the springs due to warmer than expected weather. We would consider renting this home again with a few minor adjustments.

The owners had great response time to any questions that we had. Their home is updated and a very nice place to stay while you were in Crystal River.
