We do feel the unit was a little misrepresented in the VRBO description (and therefore not the value we paid for). When we booked, this listing showed the following items as amenities that were not there: (listing has been updated to remove these)
• icemaker
• dishwasher
• dining table
• cookware/dishware (the only dishes were small plates big enough for a sandwich-not for dinners) and no baking/cookie sheet to cook in the oven
• Kayak ( was listed as property amenity- removed from listing).
No storage in bedroom for clothing. Had to live out of suitcases except for items that would hang.
Unit location was close to the parking lot and the pool. You could see both very clearly. HOWEVER, anyone in the parking lot or pool could see you if you were in the bedroom.
The Host/owner listed in pics that the blinds had been removed from the large windows in the unit, but the reality of lack of privacy is not evident by the pics. I even spoke with the lady who watches the grounds and she said she could see into the bedroom from pool. This really was a problem for me as I could never walk to the bedroom to change clothes or dress after a shower without potentially being seen which was uncomfortable. We did ask about covering the windows after the first night and was told it was not possible and YES, we were offered the option to cancel with partial refund. We spent 2 weeks searching for a room before booking and 11 hours driving there. We didn't have it in us to search again.

Highly recommend!!!
I spent three nights here visiting with my brother & family (they own a condo here). Beautiful condo, right by the pool and a nice deck where we ate our evening meals. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable living room. Comfortable bed. Nice pool with plenty of chairs and tables. We brought our kayaks. Rented a boat one day from the marina just down the road. In the evening, drove down to the gulf beach to watch the sunset.
April is a lovely host, communicated well regarding check-in, check-out, and details about the condo.
I live just over an hour away, but felt like I was a world away. Had a much needed relaxing and restful stay. I plan to stay here again.
BTW, plenty of nice restaurants: Seafood Seller & Crab plant have great seafood! Crackers is nice for sitting outside...food ok... Or take a drive to Homassassa and eat at The Freezer - get steamed shrimp and smoked mullet dip...cash only.

Was looking for a place to stay, preferably on or close to the water to get some work done and close enough to Crystal River to explore a new area for me.
The rental was a very good fit for me and I was able to get a lot done.
Nice area. Great hosts. A very nice stay.

April was very accommodating while our stay, and everything was great! The bungalow was a perfect location to visit my family who were staying at the RV park five minutes away. It is a well-stocked place to stay and everything was very clean. It is minutes from Crystal River and the ocean park!!

Pup Friendly - Great Location
We enjoyed our stay at Sawgrass Landing. Such a neat and convenient location.
We were able to bring our pup who was really fascinated with all the nature around us. Loved seeing the osprey building a nest right across the street from the entrance.
We were visiting with friends in Crystal River and the location couldn't have been better.
The unit was small, but perfect. The kitchen and bath had been updated and were very nice.
We really enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again!

All the amenities, close to nature.
My wife and I were very comfortable here. Far enough from the main road with a feeling of being close to nature, but still close enough to everything. All the comforts of home, well decorated cozy condo. The upstairs has a really nice king bed and a full bath with a good sized closet, also a nice half bath on the first floor. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. We highly recommend!

Crystal River Trip
This is a very nice property. Great location. Ford Island Beach is a nice beach. It's not as large as a lot of beaches, but just as nice.
The view from the condo is really nice and they provide lots of different spices, laundry supplies, and coffee.

Awesome Location. Awesome Place.
Stayed for a long weekend of fishing a d relaxing and The Last Resort was the perfect base of operations. The property has everything you need to make your stay hassle free. The property is close to boat ramps, a marina, and shrimp landing restaurant, where you can eat, load up on bait and tackle, or snag a charter. There is dock space and trailer parking with this unit and for this affordable price those amenities cannot be beat. You have a nice view of the tidal canal that leads out to Crystal River and then the springs are to the right, the gulf to the left. When the tide comes in, it actually goes underneath the units which I find to be totally cool. You're literally sleeping on top of the water. There is also a nice pool to cool off in if the beach that's 4 miles away isn't your thing. Checkin was a breeze and the owners are easy to reach with any questions or concerns you may have. I will definitely return to this one.

Very relaxing
If you are looking for a place away from the busy city life, this is it! It is so peaceful and quiet. Of course we went during the off season but we loved our time at Sawgrass Landing. April was very helpful and accommodating. I can’t want for the next trip down. We will stay there again.

Quiet neighborhood
We enjoyed our stay. Everything was very clean. Would have enjoyed having a larger tv, but the one in the unit was fine. I would definitely stay here again. Everyone was very friendly, and the pool was never crowded.

Planning for the return
Perfect location for Crystal River and surrounding areas. It was the kind of place i would have dreamed up when i was a child - living in a gorgeous wetland with only boardwalks to help you get around. We weren't there much because there is so much to do in the area, but the bed was super comfortable (AC helped too!!!) and the great shower at the end of a long day was wonderful. Plus you are only five minutes from a swimming beach on the Gulf. Spectacular area and great place to stay

We absolutely loved it here
The condo Complex, Sawgrass Landing, is a wonderful place. We stayed at April’s condo for two weeks. We were so comfortable and happy there. Anyone planning a trip don’t hesitate to stay here, you will absolutely love it.

Comfortable. Clean
Cozy. Nice place to settle at the end of the day. But with a few little hitches - sliding door to porch prone to coming off track. More significantly, the deadbolt to entrance is difficult to engage from the inside.
Overall good stay though.

Nice little bungalow that is very quiet, and pet friendly. On a dead end street with very little traffic, and nice to walk our dogs. Shrimp landing restaurant within walking distance, great food. Marina at end of street.

Best Experience Ever
We rented this bungalow for a short couple retreat and the experience was incredible along with great accommodations. We spent hours every night on the balcony looking at the view. Kitchen was well equipped and we were able to cook while enjoying the views. Internet and cable worked perfectly and the local residents were extremely welcoming. I would highly recommend this place and we will be back!
