The house was very thoughtfully equipped with toiletries, a well supplied kitchen, and exceeded expectations in cleanliness & organization. We will definitely be back again
3.0 / 5.0
Property was very clean and accessible. We had an issue with the tides in the canal and ended up having to row our boat back to the dock at one point. It was a good location other wise with access to the channel. We had a great time with family. Will be looking for other places next time with easier access for the boat.
5.0 / 5.0
I would book again. If you bring boat be aware of tides and water depth in canal. Home was clean and as described in listing. The coffee was excellent.
5.0 / 5.0
Kitchen was well equipped, comfortable beds, and well stocked with towels and other supplies. I was able to dock 22’ center console, just need to plan coming and going around the lowest part of the tide with a deeper draft boat.
5.0 / 5.0

5.0 / 5.0
We've been going to Crystal River for years now and this was the nicest house we've rented. Three full bedrooms and two full size baths. The home is well furnished, appliances appear new and there were plenty of linens and kitchen dishes, pans, etc.
For parking, the house has a long driveway plus a two car garage. We played corn hole on the large screened in porch. For dockage, there is a good sized deck and floating dock. We have a 23' center console and had no problems tying up and getting into and back from Crystal River which is a short canal ride away. It is close to the Ft. Island public ramp and closer to the gulf than properties in town.
Very enjoyable visit and we wouldn't hesitate to stay to here again.
