To Frank's credit, he was responsive and replaced these items, and addressed our concerns right away..... appreciated. We thought a Guest book is needed, explaining for example, how the tv works, check-out procedures, etc. The house sits on a lovely lot, tho the house inside is some dated, and in need of some attention. Overall, a nice visit, in a great part of Florida. ##### Gary S. Stayed 9 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bianca R. 7 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Not newly renovated The home’s location is the absolute best and we stayed here last year for that reason. However, there are things around the house still broken and worn out from last year (the outdoor shower is worn out, the outside gazebo is still missing a roof, the water faucets throw water out, the wine cooler is broken, the pool tiles are still gross and the pool is cloudy, still cinderblocks in the closet from last year, etc.). There’s just a lack of care in the home and you can tell this house is just a money making side gig. The sheets aren’t even cotton (polyester). For the price, it’s sub par. We won’t stay again. ##### Bianca R.

Stayed 31 nights in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kate Lynn L. 13 Sept 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy The location, view, water access and cleanliness of interior was good. Our only interior complaint would be that the master bath shower head needs replacing.The cleanliness of exterior and grounds were poor but the host was responsive when we let him know. The pool was unusable and green when we got there. The pool person came the next day after check in and shocked the pool. Our stay was only 3 nights so the pool was basically unusable. Once the chemicals cleared third da, it still needed to be scrubbed. The fire pit was overgrown, the outdoor shower was broken, the door was off the hinges and left inside the shower bay and the walls green with mold. There was some moldy broken and furniture left on the grounds and the wind screen on the outdoor seating area blew torn and tattered. The house directly next store is a new build and there was heavy equipment and noise but not until the day we checked out likely because of the rain. Again, the interior was clean and spacious as advertised but the exterior conditions other than the view were unfortunately a disappointment. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5305c3da-2a3c-4997-a4e4-1e1de86af4d7-1757731440390.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/82166b1f-35e8-4198-b3a7-cefce675c9a3-1757731439682.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f064c691-4cd9-4c3e-9a7a-413b903f8f7c-1757731438685.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c7117d8a-e4ef-4f12-abf2-e62c51756d67-1757731439695.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kate Lynn L.

We spent most days fishing, and we did a little kayaking, too! We were able to see manatees and dolphins from the dock! The location is great with plenty of delicious seafood close by. My only negative comment would be that I wish the patio furniture had umbrellas, but there was plenty of shade throughout the day. It was a wonderful experience, and we would happily stay again! ##### Amber W.

This was our first year renting in Crystal river. The past 10 years we went to the Keys for for memorial day and early June. We have rented many places over the years but my husband I agreed this was the most comfortable and the view and location are perfect. Frank was responsive and helpful. The kitchen is well stocked and appliances are all new. No bad comments. ##### Mary G.

The property is well maintained and located in a quiet neighborhood that is just a short car or boat ride to all that Crystal River has to offer. We used the provided kayaks and paddle boards daily to visit the two Osprey nests, the nearby bird and wildlife sanctuaries, and the resident manatees. The beds were comfortable and the outdoor and indoor living spaces provided room for us to stretch out, read, play games, etc. The kitchen was nicely appointed for the meals that we cooked at home. The property owners were very attentive to any questions and needs that we had from prior to booking to after departure. If we return to Crystal River, we would definitely hope to book again. ##### Amanda A.

Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### rachael h. 26 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Best family vacation Cons: I received an email for our stay a day or so before but did not get the code to the property lockbox, messaged Frank the owner at 7pm right before our flight took off from DTW to TPA and by the time we got to the house at 1:30am (husband and the kiddos and I) still had not received the code, so we sat there so frustrated that no one was responding until about a half hour later with the code.. after a long flight we were so excited of the thought of getting into the hot tub then realized there isn’t a heater in hot (cold) tub so that was a real bummer! No extra blankets and a short supply of TP lol and 3 days into our vacay, the vacation rental across the water was occupied by about 10 f-bombing teenagers on spring break that ruined our peaceful relaxing scene Pros: if you’re looking for a beautiful, quiet (for a couple days at least) location this is 10/10 amazing!! Gunter’s paradise is absolutely gorgeous from the home to the pool and your backyard being manatees playground. We fished, paddle boarded/kayaked, it literally feels like paradise and we are all so thankful to have been able to spend a few days here and look forward to coming back! There is no better spot 🌴 ##### rachael h.
