A few friends and my husband and I rented this house for a long weekend. We all had the best time. House was so clean, outside oasis was peaceful and perfect for relaxing in the pool and grilling dinner. We launched kayaks from the boat dock and spent a day at the springs. The house had plenty of beach towels, towels, cooking supplies and extra blankets for the movie room. We went for walks in the morning around the neighborhood- perfect location in Crystal River! I would highly recommend! We will stay again.

Great house!

We really enjoyed this house! The outdoor amenities make it exceptional! There are plenty of bath and pool towels, and the kitchen is well stocked with both a coffee pot and a keurig. The location on the canal is a quick kayak to Banana Island which was rich with residential manatee to see this late in April. Rebecca, the host, was easy to reach and checked in on us early to ensure we were comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The weather was beautiful and we spent 80% of our time outside. Would book again!

Excellent house, great location, awesome owner

My wife and I had a great time over the holiday weekend. Invited friends over for the day to kayak and have dinner and drinks by the fire pit on the water. Excellent communication with the owner and had no issues. Wife enjoyed the hot tub while I sat by the water and practiced my guitar. Couldn’t have been a better mini vacation. Highly recommend.

A Wonderful Stay

Had a wonderful stay, and appreciated the personal interest & interactions with Rebecca. Coupled with great weather and the Crystal River area mostly back from the hurricane, highly recommend a visit. The backyard Tiki bar, pool, and hot tub is a great combination... spent much time there. Had breakfast by the canal most days. Wish the kitchen was a little larger and the welcome book had a tad more info, eg, operating the tvs. That said, one of our best VRBO experiences. Gary & Deb
