The kitchen was well stocked for when we wanted to cook. There were games and beach towels in the closet which was a pleasent surprise! We enjoyed the backyard and canal every day. We got to see an alligator and a manatee jn the canal. My daughter enjoyed spotting different animals. Having the kayaks was such a great experience. We enjoyed taking them out for a paddle and I appreciated the life vest for my daughter. We took a manatee tour with Fun 2 Dive and definitely recommend them! We will definitely be coming back. Hopefully in thr winter to see more manatees. ##### Malorie Y.

The property is part of a duplex, but felt private. It's close to Rt. 98 (a thoroughfare in Crystal River) in one direction and to Fort Island Beach (tiny beach on Crystal Bay) in the other direction. Convenient to everything without being right in the of suburbia. Key Lime Cottage was super clean and new. Love the vibe of decor. The master bed was really comfortable. It had plenty of thoughtful amenitites inside and out, even kayaks, bikes, and fishing rods! We weren't there enough to hang outside, but the picnic table, fire pit, lounge chairs, fish cleaning area, and little boat launch ramp are all great features. Vicki had suggested going to Crystal River Preserve State Park when I asked her about seeing wildlife. It's a zoo of sorts, where they care for unreleasable native wildlife.It's not fancy, but I happened across a rescuer treating one of their manatees and she spent a lot of time teaching the small crowd about them. And there were plenty of other amazing animals. It was not "manatee season" in Crystal River, so we did not swim with the manatees. We did drive about 30 minutes and kayaked Rainbow River, which was spectacular. We also drove about an hour to funky Cedar Key for a great clam and oyster dinner and sunset. Thanks, Vicki for a great stay, we recommend your place! ##### Meredith R. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### andrea b. 11 Apr 2025 ##### andrea b.

This was a delayed 25th Anniversary trip for my husband and I. We are avid kayakers and live in the NGA mtns, near a lake we often kayak. 1. This cottage (a duplex that feels ultra private), was clean, cozy, and comfortable! The king bed is comfy and the pillows are fabulous. The shower has fantastic pressure and the water gets plenty hot enough. We didn’t cook much, still kitchen had everything we needed. The host left us two bottles of cold water, which was appreciated since it was hot when we arrived. Great AC, and cozy living area for evenings just watching TV. 2. The kayak launch was EVERYTHING! So easy to get in and out, we kayaked every day. The kayaks are good quality and track well in the bay (even if it’s choppy water). We didn’t use the fire pit due to afternoon & evening rain but the backyard is adorable and fun! 3. The area and proximity to the bay was ideal! It’s a SHORT paddle to the mouth of the canal and the bay. If I had to guess, it’s less than 3/10th of a mile. We explored a lot. We saw a little gator, a bazillion jumping mullet, a big alligator garr, sheepshead fish, tons of birds (idk about birds but at least 15 different species), and we saw manatees. One in the same canal, and three or four from a distance and on our last day, two right under the kayaks in the bay. You can paddle all the way to Three Sisters (which we fully recommend) in great weather it will take about 35 minutes - it was windy for us so it took 45. Vicki is a fantastic host! ##### Tess H.

Nice and clean. We were able to fish off the dock, saw manatees and a baby alligator in the back yard! We used the kayaks to visit Hunter Springs and Three Sisters Springs. Communication with the owner was exceptional. Highly recommend staying here! ##### Jesse O.
