Amazing weekend getaway was what we needed! There were dolphins swimming right at the dock--in the backyard!! Highly recommend this place to anyone.

We enjoyed a family vacation where we enjoyed the gorgeous waterfront. Only issue was the weather being cold but we built a nice fire in the pit and roasted marshmallows! :)

We had a nice trip! Our group was two families. Bunk bed room worked well for the kids. We brought out boat and kept it at the dock out back. River view is very nice! House is older construction but clean.

House was great. Everything was as advertised. Great location. Close to everything. Would stay again

Great location with quick access to gulf, nice view, clean, plenty of room and beds for family, quick and easy communication with property.

The view was amazing and house was perfect for a large family group. The backyard was great and had plenty of room for the two boats we brought. The proponerte was very clean and had lots of essentials (tp, garbage bags, dishwasher tabs, etc) The neighbor Russell was also very friendly and helpful and gave us the insight on where to find the scallops on our second day. We loved it and will visit again.

The house was beautiful and the views were amazing. The only thing I will say that there is not enough towels, tp, toiletries, garbage bags. Is a very simple fix. Otherwise was great.

Great house and location. Owner very helpful.

This is our second time at this property. Great location for fishing and scalloping. Communication with owner is very good as well.

The house was just as nice as the pictures indicated, was well appointed, and was very clean. No complaints whatsoever. An amazing location and a very easy and seamless process.

This is an excellent place for those that love being waterfront and in a home that has ample room for a large family. From easy access to the Gulf for fishing to paddle boarding and fishing off the dock, our family had a great time. The whole process was easy and the communication with the home owner was very easy and accommodative. We will definitely visit again.

Great house. Great location.

Everything was fantastic, with the exception of the weather unfortunately. The house was just as advertised and was very clean upon arrival. Beautiful views and we enjoyed the kayaks and fire pits. Would definitely rent this house again.

This house has everything! Enough seats for the whe family.

Truly the most magical view in Crystal River! We thoroughly enjoy our stay, despite some AC issues early on (July in Florida, whew!) The host said they were waiting on a part to arrive and coached us on how to fixed the AC when it would shut off. Very comfortable, although they should provide more bath towels and better pots/pans etc options. The place was clean and the neighborhood quiet at night. We docked 2 boats with ease, 23’ and 22’ bay boats. We brought additional bumpers as suggested by previous renters, which worked out great. The home had recently changed hands just before we occupied and I suspect the few issues we had were the result of the transition. We take an annual scalloping trip to Crystal River and if we weren’t adding 2 more people to future trips, we’d absolutely stay here again!

Great view and a neat little area. We really enjoyed our stay. Very relaxing and lots of chairs on the back patio to watch the manatees float.

We all like to have our own space with plenty of room and bathrooms. This house gave us the ability for my mom, my brother and his wife and my husband and I to all have our own bathrooms and bedrooms.

Came with my family and thoroughly enjoyed staying in this property. Would come back again.

The house is perfectly laid out with plenty of beds for Our family. The kitchen is open and the table seats 8 so we could all eat together. We brought our 22ft boat, launching at Pete’s Pier. The location on the river provides easy access to the springs, kings bay, and the gulf. The kids fished off the seawall and dock every morning and every evening. The no see ums are relentless this time of year at sun rise and sunset so bring bug spray. We slept in the master king bed and it is comfortable, nobody complained about the beds. We used the kayaks and paddle board mostly right in the cove and saw manatees daily. Nightly fires and roasting marshmallows sealed the memories!

A great house and terrific location. It is truly waterfront!

Pros Great house lots of room . Great view of the river. We saw a few manities while sitting on the shoreline. Neighbors were friendly. Really nice location! Plenty of storage in the kitchen! Cons There are no hangars in the house so we had to live out of our suitcases it was not too bad of an issue because we were only there for 3 days. The bedroom with bunk beds only sleeps kids or short adults. That was an issue! My son & his wife had to go rent a room @ the nearest hotel due to their feet hanging over the ends of the bunk beds! I would list the house as sleeps 6 adults 2 to 4 kids depending on the kids size. The king size bed in the primary bedroom was too hard it needs a pillow topper! I had to go sleep with my grandson in the bunk room! I am short so I fit in that bed. If I owned a rental in a tropical location I would check the house for bugs. After all it is FL! I found 2 dead bugs in the front closet when I was looking for an iron & ironing board btw .which I never found an iron & ironing board. It is good they were dead but if someone checked before guest arrive the guest wouldn’t even know their was an issue. This is not the 1st time this has happened to me in FL. Like I said it is FL. The place was very clean otherwise. The kitchen smelled like bleach when we arrived so I believe it was sanitized. They could have used a lot more towels. I also told them that the ladder coming out of the river is loose & should be fixed. I would definetly stay again but I hope they get a pillow topper for that king size bed & some hangars. Oh and a pancake flipper & wine opener. The property manger was very attentive when I texted her about not having enough life jackets there she showed up quickly with a bunch of them. Kids loved the knacks!

We had a wonderful long weekend in Crystal River. The location and layout of the home accommodated our family of 9 perfectly. Beautiful views & a lovely neighborhood! Much of the interior appears to have recently been updated with newer furnishings. Our kids loved the giant Jenga & paddle boards on site. Improvements are suggested in the following areas: the exterior (including windows) was pretty filthy & landscaping is badly needed. The owners had coordinated visits by two landscapers while we were in residence, so it appears they are aware and working on this issue. The master bath shower handle is not properly fitted so it’s very difficult to adjust & regulate temperature - we couldn’t let our kids use it. Also, bathroom mats are not nonslip, so we had two adults and one child who all fell at different times getting out of the shower. Like others have mentioned, even with the bumpers our boat got a little banged up because the dock area needs some additional buffer. Finally, a heads up to renters that there are only very, very basic supplies - few towels, no spare blankets, and limited cookware. Bring extra towels and linens if you might need them as we did. Overall a great rental for location, but could use some cosmetic improvements and additional supplies for guest comfort and convenience. We would absolutely stay again!

We booked this property approximately one month in advance, the booking process was smooth and without fault. We arrived at the property and immediately noticed an extremely well kept home which was ready for our arrival. The home was nicely appointed with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. There was one paddleboard and two kayaks for our usage. Additionally, we brought our 23 foot Key West boat which we kept moored to the fiberglass whips. At first it was a little difficult to figure out the best way to use the mooring whips and the boat was pushed up against the concrete seawall causing minor damage to the gelcoat. (I believe this was user error, as we did not tighten down the mooring whips enough). Please be advised there are protruding steel bolts going through the seawall which could cause damage to your boat, boat fenders are a must. The weather did not cooperate during our stay, however, we were able to get out on the gulf for 1 day and do some scalloping which was a success! Fettuccine Alfredo was made for dinner which was fantastic with our freshly caught Gulf bay scallops and gulf shrimp purchased locally. We also visited Three Sisters Spring and paddled into the spring which was nice way to end the day! We are extremely happy with our choice of VRBO and would highly recommend it!

Our group really enjoyed our stay. The view is great a d the house has a very spacious feel to it. Highly recommend!

This home is in a great location with an amazing view of the river. The home was clean and decorated nicely with comfortable beds. It has plenty of room for the whole family to spread out and we really enjoyed being able to bring our dog! We came for a mini vacation to scallop with our adult children and had a great time. Our only issue was the AC panel had a faulty signal reading and it was after five in the evening, but the house manager returned our call promptly and it was an easy fix with just the flip of a breaker. One suggestion would be pull down shades across the back windows as the afternoon summer sun really makes it hot in those rooms. Annette B.

This was a fabulous property, very clean, and perfect location.

We had a the best time at this adorable home during scalloping season. It has the most beautiful view of the river and the kids had the most fun swimming and using the provided paddleboard and kayaks. The layout is great and the property is very clean. We will definitely try to book again!

My husband and I just returned from a long weekend at Crystal Shores. This is one of those rentals where the property is better than the pictures! The house is so spacious and nicely decorated. The kitchen is surprisingly well appointed. The house has everything you could possibly want and need. The location is easy to get to. We brought our boat and enjoyed getting out on the water. I would definitely rent here again.

We had a wonderful time with our family here. The house was extremely clean and had the amenities we needed. The location is ideal for going to the springs or heading to Gulf.

We had a great time. Mine and my brothers families went and enjoyed every thing there is to do at this home. We kayaked, swam off the dock, watched the sunsets. And even saw manatee right off the dock. I would highly recommend this home to anyone that wants to go and enjoy Crystal River Florida. The homeowner was always kind when we had an issue.

The views are amazing. There is plenty of space for 2 families. We had a great relaxing weekend. Only downside was that we had to take our boat out daily because the whips would not hold it in place with the high winds.
