King's Bay Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, great place, great location"

PaddleTail Waterfront Lodge, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"This is an older property so be prepared for the rooms to be a bit outdated and the beds to be smaller (full vs queen) than newer hotels. CONS: Breakfast ok. Family building located a bit of distance from pool and pub. Neither pool nor spa were heated due to broken part (I should have verified before arrival). Shower only, no bathtub. PROS: GREAT Staff! Nice grounds near river with pub right on river (saw 2 manatees), only 10-15 minute drive to downtown or manatee/boat launch area. For an overnight was fine and if spa was working would stay again."

Waterfront Kings Bay, Swim in Springs off the boat dock - Kayaks incl.

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay at Stones Throw. The house is beautiful and the outdoor sitting areas are really great. Communication with the owners was perfect. It’s a very comfortable place, especially the bed and sitting areas. It was wonderful!"

Waterfront in Crystal River! Scalloper's Heaven, Boaters Dream, see manatees

10/10 Excellent

"The house is beautiful they have kept the old Florida look yet modified with all the modern conveniences and in a perfect location. Ac works great and the ice maker is a life saver. Probably paid for the house with the amount of money I saved on ice. Dani is very responsive and made sure we had a great stay."

Waterfront home in Crystal River w/private dock and kayaks

10/10 Excellent

"It has been many years since I raised my sons in Crystal River, and although we’ve visited often, this trip was something special — just my husband and me with our five young grandchildren. This property is truly AMAZING. The house itself has a bit of a “campy” feel, but as a stilt home perched on a point, it offers delightful views and unforgettable sunsets over Kings Bay.The small cove between the large neighborhood dock and the house was alive with marine life. We saw multiple manatee every single day, and one afternoon a dolphin swam right into the cove to fish. We sat on the dock in absolute astonishment as she leapt out of the water to catch her prey. It was incredible.Kings Bay is simply beautiful, and the provided kayaks were such a thoughtful touch — perfect for exploring the water and enjoying the natural surroundings.We had a thrilling and memorable long weekend, thanks to the stunning natural beauty of this very special place and the hospitality of our attentive hosts. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic Crystal River experience."
