Absolutely charming old florida boathouse that is updated and extremely clean. Location is awesome with a great view. Wonderful to be able to relax on balcony and look out over water after a day on the boat. Host is phenomenal. He and his brother are fishing guides that we also had trip with. Their services are second to none. You will not regret booking a stay and a charter.

This is a great (literally on the water) spot in a really special part of Florida. Space is as cute as it looks. Back porch gives more than a 180 degree view of the water and the sunsets were amazing. Nearby neighborhood dock is perfect for swimming. Kayaks took us Three Sisters Springs. Could not have been a better long weekend. Already booked to come back soon!

Awesome water location/views of Crystal River, higher end, well-appointed kitchen with everything you need to cook, eat and drink. Nice amenities and extra items such as beach towels, couch throws, excellent mattresses. Very clean and safe, quiet location. Only thing not included is a hair dryer. 2nd floor living with very nice balcony.

What a fun house to stay in! Nice porch to enjoy coffee in the morning- dock to fish off of- lots of local restaurants near by- spring near by! The owner also captains and we used him twice! Picks us up right at the house! Super easy! We will be coming back!

Love the Boathouse. Plenty of vehicle parking and parking for my 27' boat and it's trailer. Beautifully decorated house with new appliances. We were there when rains set in and we enjoyed waiting out the storms because of the great views from the house. Looking forward to renting again.

Great little house on the water for our family of 5 for 2 nights! We loved kayaking, playing in the water, and porch sitting. We even saw some manatees right off the dock! House was clean and had everything we needed.

We had a quick 3 night's stay, over Mother's Day weekend. The property is well equipped and comfortable. The location is great. The floating dock was perfect for our 24' boat. The docks below are very interesting and good for fishing as well. We really enjoyed our stay and very happy overall.

My family and I stayed here during February break. The location is minutes from everything you want to do in manatee country! A Winn Dixie is about 1/4 mile down the road, as well. The house is elevated so you feel like you are waking up in the "sky" and the morning sunsets are amazing. We saw eagles and manatees right off of the porch. The house is immaculate and the owners left us coffee and hot chocolate pods for my kids. There were kayaks to use, unfortunately we just did not have the time. Great place!

Newly renovated historic boat house. "Downstairs" is a small marina with docks to explore. Lots of fish and manatees to watch. There's an active spring under the docks which draws in the underwater wildlife. We didn't use the kayaks but there's plenty of water to explore from the boathouse. "Upstairs" is a very clean, newly renovated living space. Great view of the waterfront and well places curtains for privacy and sunlight management. New furniture and kitchen appliances. We used the gas grill every night it wasn't raining. We had a great stay and will be back in April. Highly recommend.

My husband and I spent 5 days in this quaint boathouse. We stay at VRBOs frequently, and this was by far one of the cleanest! Also very well equipped to make our stay quite comfortable. We could not beat the location as all of our excursions were no more than 20 minutes away. Owners, Zach and Memphis made sure we knew they were just a phone call/text away if we needed anything, or had any questions. Loved spending time on the boathouse kayaks! We paddled all over King’s Bay. We saw many manatee and dolphins. My favorite part was getting up in the morning and sitting at the window looking out over the bay and watching the manatee as I had my coffee. My husband and I had a great time and highly recommend staying here. We will be sure to share our experience with family and friends!!

We know Crystal River well and were excited to find out that this property was available to rent. The views are awesome, manatees, fish, rare birds, you name it. It feels like you are on the water and away from everything, while only being a bike ride away from tons or food, and activities. In addition the owners are incredible fishing guides and just overall great people. Well be back!! Thanks!!

We very much enjoyed our stay and would come back again. Having grown up in Crystal River many years ago, I've always loved the look of the old overwater boathouses but have never had the opportunity to stay in one. If the boathouse cottage is not an official historic building, it should be one as these were the heart of the community. They have renovated the inside very nicely and everything was easy and clean!

We love coming to Crystal River and staying at The Boathouse made it a tremendous time! The location is quaint and the view is great for sight seeing right from the back porch. This place will not disappoint and you will feel right at home.
