LOCATION AND ACTIVITIES

If you are a boater, you have protected docking for your vessel. Our dock will hold up to one 23-26 foot vessel. Dock is very protected from the elements. The dock is also designed with a special launch for kayaking on and off. Please check before booking for boat accommodation. We provide 3 one person kayaks and 1 two person kayak. You can also boat to restaurants that offer lunch, dinner and drinks. If you fish you can be out in the gulf in a short amount of time. There are also small Islands you can explore, fish from, have lunch or just hang on the remote beach! If you are here for the springs and looking for the manatee, all are close by. There is a small spring very close to the property that can be seen form the south bedroom deck. We often have Manatees swimming by the front of our property and the back bay portion. Dolphins can also be seen at times swimming by.

If you are a kayaker you are in a great spot to explore quietly by yourself or with a friend all that Crystal River nature has to offer. If you want to be where there are lots of kayakers and boaters you just have to paddle a little further. You can also paddle to one of the restaurants/bars for lunch if you are more adventurous.

If your a biker, jogger or walker you can be down town Crystal River without having to use the highway! You can also bike to the public beach on the gulf.

Family Vacation

This property was perfect for our family! We were able to dock our boat and easily maneuver out of the canal to get into the bay to see manatees, go fishing and head up to Shell Island. I would recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a place to accommodate your family!!

Sunset watches and peaceful getaway

House is wonderfully located. So much space though we didn’t use a fraction of it. We booked specifically for the location. Watching sunsets over Kings bay and minutes to everything we wanted to explore in Crystal River and Homosassa. The house had everything we could’ve needed if we had had a family there with us, hopefully in the future they will be and we will all enjoy this lovely home!

Our wedding near Kings Bay

This property unique. It is two houses in one. We loved the house, It has personality and its view of the bay is amazing! We rented this home to house us during our wedding week and we were not disappointed. It is pricey and if it wasn't for it being our honeymoon... I probably would not have spent that kind of money. That being said, we loved our stay. We recommend it highly!!

I will be forever grateful for what this home provided for myself and my friends. The home itself was stunning! The house in relation to things to do and see is phenomenal. The kayaks were provided and Three Sisters Springs was a short kayak away. The fish were jumping everywhere and the manatees made their appearance also. Checkin and checkout was super simple. Having the second fridge was super helpful. I would recommend and will stay here again in the future. Thank you!

This house is fabulous!

We had the absolute best time for our long, scalloping weekend at this house! I can’t say enough great things about the property. It was clean, very spacious and the kitchen fully equipped to cook the entire time. It’s the first group trip we’ve all been on where we didn’t go out to dinner at all. The boat dock was key to storing our 22” pontoon all weekend. The location is perfect for enjoying all Crystal River has to offer not to mention the views from every spot in the house. Denny, the grounds keeper, and Rebecca, the property manager were very helpful throughout. We saw a momma manatee and the baby right from the back yard which was incredible. I highly recommend this property, and we all agreed to book this next year!

This is the place! Amazing!

This place is amazing! My family was thrilled that we were staying at this property for our vacation. The location was perfect and close to grocery stores, restaurants, and activities our family could enjoy. Off the dock we could see manatees, stingrays, crabs, and dolphins! Fishing was great as well, my son caught many catfish. The house is very clean which is very important to me since my son has allergies. I'm very picky when it comes to cleanliness and dust, so in order for me to be pleased it has to be immaculate and it was! It had 2 fridges which was nice since my family likes to stay in for meals. Rebecca was wonderful and quickly answered any questions we had. Denny, the groundskeeper, was nice and gave us some suggestions for activities our kids would like. We feel so lucky we were able to stay at this property for our family vacation this year. Thank you!

Nature Refuge

My wife and I rent in Crystal River every couple of years or so, so know the area reasonably well (or as far as a Brit can) but can safely say that this property was the best location yet. Close enough to the main town that it is a short drive or kayak, but far enough that it is completely peaceful. We spent the morning and evenings watching the nesting osprey, dolphin and manatee and sunrise/sunset whilst reading on the Dock, and spent the days kayaking Kings Bay. Absolute bliss. The house itself is quirky (in a good way) with a fantastic open plan living/kitchen/diner and with glass on 3 sides looking out from the headland. We would have probably chosen to sleep in the bedroom with the same view above but at the time our stay this room did not have any blinds. However the master bedroom at the other side of the house was huge with a great ensuite, sofa area and decking so hardly a complaint there. Everything we could need was there, and we made good use of the pool table and kayaks, and very much appreciated the nibbles and wine left to welcome us. Hope we will be back ASAP.
