About this house rental

Admire Crystal River from elevated porch area in this private stilt home. Feel like you are on the water even from inside...windows offer lovely vistas from the great room and kitchen! Enjoy light flooring and nautical decor with all the amenities, internet and entertainment center. Downstairs is a screened area for grilling which overlooks the dock and cleaning station.

Please do not encroach on neighboring property or dock. Our neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Room to park cars and boat trailer on the grass DIRECTLY across from our home. Dock accommodates motor or sailboat....wide deep canal. Boat ramp is about a mile past our entrance and takes only 6 minutes to drive your boat around to the dock. Home is about five houses from mouth of river on the west side. I am told that the latitude is 28.90281 and longitude is -82.62089800000001; however I don't have any idea if that is correct! But I do know that you will love the location, 2835 N Seneca Pointe.

Some tour boat operators will pick you up at our dock. One is at FloridaFishingAdventures.com 352-601/1963. We have a fishing guide residing on our canal. Socrates is popular and should be booked in advance at 352/895-9502. Other operators/guides are available if you look on the internet. Holiday weekends are a three night minimum. 2025 Winter months available: Jan 1 - 31, February 1 - 28. $4200 a month, $150 cleaning fee. There is an 11% tax. Message me and I will send you he special offer to reflect those figures.

We leave recreation equipment in the screen room downstairs and expect you to be respectful REPLACING our things free of damage and mud. Boat and Kayak users need to tie up at dock to accommodate the two ft. tide change.

Our kayaks, life vests and bicycles need to be replaced AS THEY WERE FOUND. Do NOT leave kayaks in the sun. They will warp. For boats, we recommend a spring line to keep boats from sliding under dock or there may be a damage to the boats and/or to the dock!

After staying in many vacation homes ourselves, we can say confidently that our home is above-average in all ways! We ask that you treat all furnishings with respect. Please supervise children and do not allow them to pull the tags off the Beanie Baby collection. The collection is for children five years and up.

We are hoping to add a small separate efficiency room on the north side of the property, mostly for our use. We are in the early planning stages. It would only share the stairway to a separate entrance. ...not connected or part of the main home. This room is not included in the rate quoted but could possibly be added later. It takes a LONG time for any building approval in Citrus County, Florida.

Scalloping Regulations in the Crystal River area: 2 gallons per person (10 gallons max per boat) or 1 pint of scallops shucked per person (1/2 gallon max per boat). It is illegal to dump scallop shells in the canal. Open Gulf water, it's ok. Our season usually begins July 1st and runs through September 24th. Check updates on season dates for Crystal River, Citrus County, Florida.

I can't say enough about this property, the owner, and the location! This stay is worth every penny and everything you could ever imagine is available at the house! This is the perfect location for a boat as well, because the channel is extremely close for getting to the ocean. Multiple springs accessible by boat are within 5 minutes, as well as waterfront restaurants. Grocery and entertainment is available by a short car ride as well. If you're going back and forth between this property or others, trust me, THIS. IS. YOUR. HOUSE!!

This house has it all. There isn’t anything that Dixie didn’t think of to have in the house. The house was very clean and had an excellent view. All of the neighbors were friendly. The dock was great for having our boat in the water for the duration of our stay. We will definitely be back again!!!!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and we will definitely be back! The house was spotless, had everything we needed (and more), and is in such a great location. Dixie communicates everything so well and there are little instructions for everything you need throughout the house. Truly a great stay!

This was our first time at this property and we absolutely loved it. We do an annual trip and in years past there has always been extra stress with the boat. (Un-marked channels, too shallow, large rocks around dock, dock across from house, etc) This year was completely different, we launched less than a mile away, pulled right up to the house and we were set. Access to the Gulf was fast and marked, same with going to the springs and kings bay. As far as the house goes, it was great, plenty of kitchen space in a well stocked kitchen, dinning area and living areas were spacious and comfortable. Bedrooms were perfect for our needs. (Mattresses were a little on the stiff side, we will bring a mattress topper next year.) Bathrooms were clean. Showers were on the small side, but that did not bother us at all, there is also a large jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. (Did not use) The view from the deck that wraps around 2 sides is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee and start your day. Under the house is a screened porch area that we enjoyed as well. 4 Kayaks were available, however we did not get time to use them. Fishing poles, BBQ Grill, and all kinds of other bonus things were available for use. We will definitely be booking this property again next year and probably as long as it is available for our dates. Communication with Mrs. Dixie the host was responsive and easy going, thank you, we had a great vacation and look forward to next year.

We stayed at Dixie’s place for 10 days and had a wonderful time. The house was very clean and she supplied all the necessities, including paper towels, toilet paper, soap, laundry items. Everything we needed for the entirety of our stay. Great location in Crystal River and very close to the springs. If you have a boat, stay here! We kept our 30’ pilot house at the dock and had zero issues getting in and out of the channel. The channel is deep and wide. We launched at Pete’s Pier and the house is a great location whether you want to stay in the river or go out into the gulf. Twin Rivers Marina is right around the corner for fuel and bait. Perfect location!

This a great little house with plenty of outdoor space. We had beds for out family of 5, and lovely living area with dinner table and kitchen (with all the things ready to use.) We really enjoyed the screened in outdoor area and the dock. We went scalloping and could pull right up after a long day on the water. It was clean, well kept, and had everything we needed.

Our family enjoyed our stay at the River House. It was a great spot to relax and enjoy after scalloping and manatee visits. It is a great location, quiet canal - great in and out access to the river and easy to dock up too. Ms. Dixie was very helpful and a great host. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home for our family scallop vacation.

Great location

Great location

This was the perfect house for our family of 3. We were able to bring our boat and dock it right at the house in the canal. Fished right from the dock, kayaked the canal and so close to everything we wanted to do. Easy/ great communication with owners. Definitely recommend for the price.

Perfect for a weekend scalloping

We had the best time at Dixie's property! Check in was easy and Dixie was very quick to reply to all messages we sent before our arrival. The home was exceptionally clean, I could actually let my baby and toddler crawl/roll around on the floor. It is very close to the boat ramp and no bridges to get out into the gulf, plus you cut out the long no wake zone up the river. We didn't use them but there were kayaks, life jackets, and anything else you could need for a day on the water. Good water pressure and hot water (bc let's face it that's important when you've been on the boat all day). Everything in the house was labeled, including all the light switches, which was surprisingly helpful. We will absolutely be staying here again :)

Annual Scalloping weekend

Annual Scalloping weekend

My family (brothers and sisters and their kids) come to Crystal River every year for a weekend of scalloping. We have stayed in many types of places and we agree that this was the best place thus far. The location on the water is perfect and the home has everything to offer from the convenient boat dock to kayaks, to a canoe, and all the accessories needed for a wonderful stay. We will definitely look to book this house again for next year.
