You can not beat this location! The dock, kayaks, and pool. What an amazing 3 nights. So much wildlife right at your back door. We saw an alligator, lots of fish, lizards, frogs, baby crabs and went kayaking to see a manatee!

We spent a wonderful rainy week in Crystal River. My whole extended family felt right at home and had plenty to do even though it rained most of our trip. Though we went during the manatee off season we paddle boarded and Kayaked daily and saw all sorts of wildlife including dolphins and bald eagles! 🇺🇸 The bedrooms were comfortable. The couch fit us all. And the kitchen had just about everything we needed! The pool was a blast and the house was well maintained.

We enjoyed our stay, paddled to springs daily, I met my adult son and daughter along with grandkids, being directly on the water helped keep everyone busy, the screened in pool was perfect place for the kids to play. Able to fish off the dock the guys at the bait shop were extremely helpful and offer live bait about a mile away. I would not recommend bringing a boat the water is shallow and many rocks around the dock but many boat rental places nearby. The house was nice and comfortable, we cooked almost every night the kitchen is equipped well, the grill was a nice addition.
