It's located between Crystal River and Homosassa Springs, there are several supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants within a few minutes drive. You're also only minutes away from several Springs. Great location!!! Private but still close to anything you need! ##### Jeanne H.

Its tucked away in the middle of everything. The owners communicated well. It was our very First time visiting the west coast springs. Our favorite was 7 sisters. 3 sister was nice also. We were on crystal river and the homosassa river. Also the chassahowitzka river. Very beautiful area. They dont call it the nature coast for nothing. I did have one small issue with the fence. I had read a previous review from a stay about the fence having a hole that their little dog could eacape. We brought 4 dogs. One is a mix dog with many hunting breeds and when he sees any wildlife he's after it. He ended up on the other side of the fence on the right side of the property line.. before booking I specifically asked if the fence was secured. It isnt secured properly on all sides so do mind your dogs if they're mischievous when they see wildlife.....other than that we had a wonderful stay. Also Do watch your speed on the main roads. The cops were speed trapping alot all up and down 19\. We didnt get pulled but seen several people day and night getting pulled over for speed. ##### Chris P.
