Beautiful location

We had a great stay here for our anniversary! Absolutely beautiful location and a well decorated room. The champagne was a thoughtful touch as well. Would definitely stay here again!

High-end glamping

The luxury studio was far from camping. Every detail was perfection from the bedding to the wallpaper to the touches of decor. To have all my needs met while being next to the Crystal River, the beach and all of nature right outside the door was a dream come true.My husband and I did a working vacation there. The WiFi was excellent, and my lunchtime breaks at the beach were priceless.

We had a wonderful time! The location was nice. There were a few areas for improvement such as; the condo was a little small, there were 5 spiders found the first two days, and the back burner of the stove did not work properly. However, we loved the wildlife (chipmunks, baby deer, ducks, baby and mama fox), the wine gift was a nice touch, easy to check in and proximity to the beach was excellent! The host was quickly responsive when we struggled to figure out the gate. We will be back with our family next year :)
