About this house rental
Bring the family to your own estuary oasis with a fenced in backyard. Stay in an island community surrounded by the Saint Martin's Marsh Aquatic Preserve, a mosaic of salt marshes and hammocks, fringed by mangroves. See the native flora and fauna of old Florida right from your back porch. Our waterway opens to Dixie Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, just a few minutes away. This is a pristine ecological system that offers a unique expierience. Bring your boat to tie up to our private dock, or just launch the provided kayaks. Catch fish in your backyard, or enjoy a bike ride around the neighborhood on provided bikes. Lounge in a hammock, or Netflix and chill. Enjoy delicious local restaurants that feature the freshest seafood, or catch and grill your own fish or scallops during scalloping season. There are nearby golf courses, biking and hiking trails, Forth Island Beach, waterfront restaurants, The Great Florida Birding Trail and Three Sisters' Springs State Park (winter home to the manatees).
We love our guests and hope you have a magical time here at our estuary oasis.

3.0 / 5.0
well .. for the price we paid I expected a bit more … we got there & the place had not been cleaned at all from last rental . Every bed & bath were used & disheveled though when the cleaning gal did arrive & apologize it seemed a genuine misunderstanding .
Still er we’re out a few hours shine all was settled

We had a great time at your property. Having the kayaks and being able to fish right off the deck was fantastic and kept everyone happy. The goats are great and provide everything.

Four of us used the Estuary House as a hub while visiting our parents nearby. One of us is a bird nerd who loved birdwatching from the back deck. Crystal River is the place to go for manatee viewing. We also took a day trip to Sarasota for strolling along its white sandy beaches. We found the house clean, quiet and relaxing. Host responded quickly to all inquiries.

The owners and the house were amazing! I never ever leave reviews but I am going to this time. From start to finish it was such a smooth process. Jason and Elizabeth have their house stocked with everything you can need. They left us a lovely bottle of wine which we enjoyed watching the sunset on the enclosed front porch. The kids loved how many games there were for them to play and played most of them. We really enjoyed our stay and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

I've stayed at quite a few VRBOs in the past and this was the best experience to date. The home is gorgeous and immaculate. Almost all the rooms have a stunning view of the water. The home feels spacious and lacking of no amenity. There were outdoor equipment and games for use. There were even snacks and goodies set out for us when we arrived. The home owners were incredibly responsive, helpful, warm and kind. It was wonderful experience in a lovely home with awesome owners!
5.0 / 5.0
We had a great time with family. We spent most of our time going to the beach and the various springs. We saw many manatees, which was a real thrill. Beautiful home. I watched the sunrise from the deck every morning. Such a peaceful way to start the day.

We brought our children here to relax and to see the manatees in the nearby springs. We were not disappointed! This property is beautiful! Every room is light and airy with breathtaking views of the estuary. We took full advantage of the well-stocked kitchen, fought over whose turn it was to use the rainfall shower, paddled kayaks to explore the area, identified birds of all kinds, and ended each day with a board game from the provided collection. The owners made us feel very welcome with personalized touches and quick responses to questions. We would love to stay here again!

The house itself was in immaculate condition. I loved that three of the bedrooms had queen beds. It felt very welcoming and comfortable. The views from the back decks were simply beautiful. Also, very close to everything in Crystal River. I highly recommend this property.
5.0 / 5.0
House was absolutely amazing with incredible unobstructed views. Highly recommend, it was perfect for our group of seven ranging from 12 to 50ish. Kayak's were a hit for my collage age daughter and her friends. Close to everything in Crystal River but very quite and relaxing!
5.0 / 5.0
This house is beautiful, clean, very well stocked with everything a family needs for a wkend get away. The back yard is pure true Fl paradise
( beautiful birds, dolphins, alligators, manatees , fishing and AMAZING sunrises). We docked our 24 ft boat behind the house with no problem. Hosts were great with check in and check out . Highly recommend!

Ac does not work well. A little over priced. Nice home
The owners were nice but a little overbearing about thing's. The ac does not work well at all it's old so would bring fans or a floor unit. View is very nice but not very accommodating for boats larger than 20' . The inside is nice but just middle of the road. Owners were very accommodating in a lot of ways.

My Birthday weekend experience
The home was just as described. Very beautiful and in the area that we wanted to stay. Once checked in I messaged the owner to let him know how beautiful the home was and that we would like to have access to the bottom floor with our guest that were from the area but wanted to be with us for my Birthday. He said there would be an extra charge for over the 6 registered guest in which I agreed was ok. He said it would be more per guest. I agreed to pay him in person on what we hoped we be our sunset cruise with him on Sunday after checkout. Now here’s where it gets ugly. We were out on a rented boat in Saturday trying to enjoy our day and in that area cell phone reception is not good at all if not on WiFi. Apparently he tried reaching out without our knowing. Once back to the house we were alerted of a voicemail and it wasn’t a nice one! He said he had been watching us on the ring door bell and because we had extra guests over we needed to evacuate the home immediately or he was going to call the cops. Now I have anxiety without anything additional being added to my plate and here we are over 3.5 hours from home about to dress for dinner reservations with our family for my birthday and we’re being threatened to have the cops called on us. My husband called and explained there was no ill intent and the owner went on about prior experiences of people trashing his home. Now he’s in the business of renting his home isn’t that a risk you take? Granted we are extremely clean, honest, hardworking and respectful people and would never disrespect another’s property but honestly this just ruined my entire Birthday weekend. It was very embarrassing in front of family I have been able to visit with in years. I felt as if we were being “watched” the entire time as he kept describing his video footage. I’m not sure what else to say other than this would never be an experience I would want to provide for someone who had just messaged thanking you for the beautiful stay and even requesting renting again in the coming months. To be clear my husband did send him an extra money through Facebook messenger for the extra guest to be able to go to dinner and enjoy our family but it was already a ruined experience at that point. I did take pictures of how we left the home as we would not want to be accused of partying or damaging someone’s home but felt this was necessary after the threats we received.

Owner is in a position to observe renters' actions
I paid for and arranged to have a dog stay with our family group. At the last minute, the original dog was boarded and my younger son brought his new dog. We were at the property less than two hours when I received an e-mail asking why there was a big black dog (the dog is a lab) instead of a small white dog at the house. I realized we had been under detailed observation. The feeling detracted from the overall experience. Another factor - apparently guests over 6 in number are charged an additional $50 per night (I did not notice this before booking). I felt that as my daughter in law only stayed 3 nights and the house claimed there was room for 11, this was not very inviting. I did pay the additional $150 but would have liked this waived. A third factor - the downstairs apartment has no bathroom. Those who stay in that room must climb a substantial number of steps to use the two bathrooms upstairs. Not a great layout for a group.

Beautiful home on the oasis
This home was everything and more. My family celebrated Christmas together here. Very clean home, beautifully decorated. Had everything we needed and more.
