About this house rental

UPDATE AFTER HURICANES: HOUSE IS AVAILABLE! The house did sustain flooding during the recent hurricanes. It has beed remediatied and construction is done. New updated pictures will be posted soon. Currently the piictures listed are before the storm.
Please note after renovations we have decided to no longer accept pets. If you already have a reservation that includes your pet it will be honored.

If you want a home to hang out with friends and family this is the place! Relaxing, large home facing west so that you can enjoy the outdoor space & pool without harsh afternoon sun. House faces west meaning you can enjoy the pool at all times of the day! Not all homes are like this in the area, be careful which one you book!!
IF THIS HOME IS BOOKED PLEASE VISIT OUR OTHER PROPERTY FOR AVAILABILTY! VRBO # 2342296.

The openness of this home is its best feature. Large open kitchen with huge island & four extra large sliding glass doors that open to an outdoor pool side living area. The smart TV on patio makes it ideal to swim, grill out, fish and watch TV all while still outdoors enjoying the very best of the Nature Coast without the afternoon sun! From scalloping in the summer to swimming with manatees in the winter there is something for everyone in your party.

Make yourself comfortable in any of the three spacious bedrooms. This large 3 bedroom, 2 bath waterfront home sleeps 8 people (Max 6 adults). The gorgeous, L shaped heated pool overlooks the wide deep water canal. Bring your boat or you can launch our kayaks right from the floating dock. There is also a boat launch just 3 minutes away from the property.

All bedrooms have comfortable beds & smart TV's. A full hall bathroom is located between the two extra rooms & master has an en suite. In the living room you will find a twin size trundle bed that sleeps two, perfect for children.
The screened in sunroom/Lanai has a large flat screen smart TV that overlooks the pool, water and floating dock. Perfect for hanging out at the pool after a long day on the water. The back and side yards are fenced in perfect for watching children play or fish. There is a large 2 car garage with bicycles and plenty of storage area. There is room in the driveway for two vehicles & a boat trailer. No parking in garage, grass or street areas.

This home is located on a deep canal with Gulf access. VERY large boats access this canal easily. There is one bridge going out to the Gulf but it is 40 feet high so NO height restrictions. The house is about 5 miles from the scalloping grounds & approximately 5-10 minutes drive from King’s Bay, 3 sisters springs, and hunter springs and 35 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico by boat (its a NO WAKE ZONE in the River, please be careful with manatees!!!). Fort Island Beach is also very close by, and we highly recommend seeing a sunset there! Great pics for your social media!
If you love fishing/scalloping, this is the place to be! Crystal River has the best Scalloping grounds in the US., the best action is usually in 4-6 feet of water around Gomez Rocks at Latitude 2829.8, Longitude 8243.7. Offshore, there is shallow and deep water fishing. In the area there are large sailfin, catfish, sheepshead, red snapper, snook & redfish. You can also catch freshwater bass and trap blue crabs off the dock. The house is only a short walk or bicycle ride from the Crystal River State Park Reserve and the Mullet Hole fishing spot.

PLEASE NOTE: Security cameras are present recording 24/7 around the exterior of the house.
a. Two facing the front yard

c. One facing the back yard and dock

Melissa and Jose are very gracious and resourceful hosts. We appreciated that they were very helpful as far as places to explore and adventure to in the area. And they were constantly in touch with us during Tropical Storm Debby. Thankfully the wind and rain happened overnight and didn't preclude us from having fun on the canal with their fishing rods, kayaks, paddle boards, and canoe. And we especially enjoyed the pool and lovely Florida room for morning journaling time. Thank you again so much for the enjoyable stay!

Perfect house for a family going scalloping! Very large and spacious layout. We loved sitting at the bar table for our dinners! Outdoor pool area was big and comfortable! Loved the split floor plan so we had our space in the evenings. Dock was perfect for our boat!

We had an amazing stay at the River Cottage! My husband, our pups, and I felt right at home. The house was impeccably clean and stocked with everything we needed. The host was incredibly welcoming and made sure our stay was perfect. We loved spending time by the pool, and the nearby restaurants were fantastic. We also brought our little boat and had a blast on the river. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend this lovely getaway. Thank you so much Melissa! ❤️

We enjoyed our stay at the home. The pool is a great feature. The house was clean and well stocked with most things needed to cook with while visiting. We also enjoyed walking to the nearby state park and paddling around in the canals. We will definitely try to stay again in the future.

Lots of room and many amenities! The beds were comfy and the kitchen was updated and well supplied. The spacious family room and lanai were great for visiting. Having a pool, use of kayaks and bikes made it extra fun for adults and kids. Our host, Melissa, was very welcoming and answered any questions we had promptly!
