Awesome getaway and experience

Everything about our stay and the property was perfect. The property is as nice or even better than advertised. Having direct access to the water and kayaks was very convenient and allowed us to avoid the cost of renting kayaks elsewhere. The restaurants in the area are very close and convenient. We will definitely be back!!

Amazing Property!

We stayed with my parents for three nights. The property is fantastic and the back yard, outdoor space, kayaks, fire pit, grill and dock make this an ideal place to land every day after exploring the area. Everything is so close and we couldn’t believe how easy it was to access all of the top areas. Communication with the owners was easy. What a spot! Would go back again and again!

What a wonderful stay! Family trip with our 2 boys, 11 and 8, along with my parents, 73 and 72. Even though we had 2 straight days of rain, we enjoyed getting our wet suits on, fishing off the dock and paddling out to the bay. Manatees, manatees everywhere! Even saw some bald eagles! House has everything you need...beds so comfy! Outdoor shower which does have hot water was great! Would definietely stay again!

Crystal River Doesn’t Disappoint

Short stay to celebrate our anniversary and to swim with manatee. A Stones Throw was the perfect location, everything we needed was within 5 minutes of the house. The house was perfect, immaculately clean, comfortable beds, perfect inside and out. The kayaks were a bonus and saved $$ not having to rent. We kayaked to three sisters springs. The dock and outdoor area was perfect for relaxing in the evenings. I would definitely stay again if available when we return to the area.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this beautiful home. The house was immaculately cleaned and I couldn’t ask for anything better. Manatees and other wildlife were present near the dock everyday. Tailor and Deb were great host and I immediately understood why they are Superhosts! I will most definitely book this home again and recommend it to anyone that is looking for a comfortable house with easy access to restaurants and the springs!

Beautiful home, right on the waterway! Perfect location, close to everything. House is clean, comfortable, lots of room, and has lots of great extras! The waterfront side of the house offers a beautiful view, and the included kayaks that you can launch right from the yard was fantastic! Wonderful dock with great seating for your morning coffee!

Great location, cute property!

Great house for our family scalloping trip! We've stayed in the area at a local resort, as well as camped in our RV, but this was a great way to stay! Loved the open and responsive communication with Tailor. The kids loved kayaking right there off the dock, and it was a perfect set up to bring our boat and tie up overnight for easy access to the water. Also, it sounds silly, but I LOVED the fact that they had a ton of towels! We did laundry while there, but we didn't had to. The house offered a ton of fluffy, white towels for the crew :) We'll definitely be back.
