We were worried that because a hurricane went through we would have issues! Really no issues other than we didn’t find too many scallops! Still had a great time!

The house is a true jem when it comes to having family all together. There were 11 of us, grandparents, parents and five grandkids. Everything is there, literally. The kids kept entertained the entire time. The house is well kept and nicely decorated. We had zero issues and hope to return, just have to find an opening :)

We’ve stayed at this property for 5 years in a row. It is meticulously maintained and there is plenty of room for a large group. We love this house and will be back next year for sure!

Patty does a great job in her listing telling you want she provides, but she doesn't mention the other nice touches like optional scented oil spray at bedsides for slumber, plenty of toilet paper provided, a closet full of new toys and games for children (not worn out like some), and many more surprises that you don't expect especially for the price. She was great to work with and we hope to return!

Multi generational family gathering. The house worked well for all ages. Open space well stocked home. Communal spaces worked well for gathering. Owner was very responsive.

We stayed at this property for 10 days with 2-6 guests during the visit. The house is large and comfortable for 6. With only 2 adults the house set up was perfect with 2 master suites on opposite ends of the house. Soundproof with only the 2 master bedrooms occupied. Three bedrooms are located upstairs (11 steps). Lovely little screened porch off the common area upstairs. That porch is great for peaceful relaxation and watching the wildlife in the canal. We found kayaking from this location to be challenging because the bay waters can be choppy and full of boat traffic, particularly on weekends. We ended up renting kayaks on the opposite side of the bay to eliminate the need to cross the busy and choppy bay wat on a kayak. The house is well equipped in the kitchen and laundry room (very nice up to date machines). Nice clean pool. Very nice next door neighbor who helped us get oriented. The host of this property is very attentive, responsive and lives in the neighborhood. This property is great for relaxing, hosting groups of friends/family, or simply enjoying quiet time. The size of the property allows for a lot of community as well as privacy. We would definitely consider staying at this property again. This was our first time to Crystal River and we loved it. The host provided lots of materials to help visitors become familiar with the area - much appreciated. She’s even prepared a list of favorite restaurants which helped us find food local eats.

This place was perfect for our family to converge on Fl for some epic once in a lifetime experiences. Enjoyed the indoor and outdoor spaces, pool and kayaks. Would love to plan another family getaway here.
5.0
Wonderful home, great location, beautiful area. The VRBO listing sounded too good to be true, but turned out to be exact. We had our family of 12, all ages, and had plenty of space. We didn’t enjoy the beautiful pool as much as expected, because we were busy enjoying snorkeling with the manatee, pontoon boating, swimming in rainbow river, and diving. Only wish it could have lasted longer. Amazing!

Perfect house for 7 high school friends to reunite for catching up, cooking, swimming, and of course wine!! Would come back without hesitation. All concerns met immediately.

House was amazing…more than we expected. Communications excellent. Only bad was the weather was a bit cold so we couldn’t enjoy all the amenities but no one can control that!
Thanks again and highly recommend this property to anyone.

Loved the property! We had everything we needed to cook, hang out at the house, to kayak and enjoy the river and to hang out at the pool. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, pots and pans etc. The pool area had water games, pool noodles and life jackets etc… This house was fully equipped as the perfect rental!
4.0
The house was big, fun game.room, nice to have separate bedrooms for each couple. Only negative was the heated pool pump went out a few days before we got there, and we werent aware until asking about it, so we were unable to use it.

House was impressive. Pool was very good. Only complaint was there was a tornado there 2 days before we got there. A lot of roads and businesses were closed because of damage. It would have been nice to know ahead of time. But other than that, a great trip and would book again.

We stayed in this property for our 2023 family reunion. The home was perfect for our family of 12 :) We loved having separate areas where family members could hang out in without all being on top of each other. Several members of our party took the kayaks several times. Patty was an excellent host. We were there during the tornado which hit between 1-2 miles from the home. We lost power at 2:15am until 7:40pm that evening. We contacted the host and she brought us down flashlights, candles and battery operated lights. We also let her know that the tips on the pool sticks were missing, she came and picked them all up and ordered 4 new pool sticks and delivered them when they arrived. Her home is very well equipped with everything you need and she is very responsive and accommodating to the needs of her renters. I would highly recommend this home and we hope to use her home again in the future.
It is definitely a reunion we will remember due to the tornado and making coffee on the grill, toasting bagels on the grill and making ziti casseroles on the grill :)
The only negative thing is that our stay went way too quickly :)
5.0
We had one of the best weekends we've had in a very long time. The property is unbelievable! Beautifully decorated. Everything you need is there! Just bring your food and beverage and enjoy.....
We really had a good time going out with the kayaks, playing corn hole, ping pong, pool, etc. We used the grill everyday and made some fabulous meals. We also enjoy swimming in the beautiful inground pool and going for walks and bike rides in the neighborhood.
We brought our boat and kept it in the water the whole time. We went out several times and enjoyed the dolphins and manatees that are all over the place. There is a very nice public boat ramp 5 minutes from the house. The driveway is large enough for 5 cars plus the trailer.
Awesome place!! Hosts were very responsive. We will be back.

No damage from the hurricane! This house was beautiful! We thought after Hurricane Idalia came through Crystal River we may have to cancel our family vacation, but Patty did an awesome job in making sure everything was ready for us. Booking with her for next year!

This house was perfect for us, our kids, and our grands! Tons of space, beautiful pool, great dock, perfect game room, and the most completely equipped kitchen of any home we’ve ever rented! This was our second stay and we’re currently booking next year for the family.
5.0
Patty’s house was the perfect place for all 12 of us to stay. We had a pontoon and two center console boats that fit comfortable by the dock. We loved that the house was on a canal so our boats didn’t get beat up by a ton of other boat traffic. The house had so many different areas to hang out in, which was great because we had quite a bit of rain. We loved having the pool to hang out in after a day on the boat. We cooked dinner three nights and the kitchen was very well stocked. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless. The house was easy to find and close to Pete’s Pier, which is where we put our boats in and parked the trailers. Thanks for having us, we will be back!
