Crystal River has been recognized as one of the " Most Charming" small towns in the USA by HGTV and was also voted a top 10 Best Summer Travel Destination by USA TODAY 10 best Readers Choice. It wont take you long to realize why!
This beautiful three story detached house with 3900 sq feet, overlooks a natural tidal lagoon in Kings Bay Crystal River, Florida .Definitely family friendly with large screened in pool ( not heated), huge lot with outdoor fire pit and room for games like corn hole on the lawn. Expect to have coffee in rocking chairs with a direct view of Kings Bay and spot the manatees while you do it. With ample patio decks you will spend a lot of down time just taking in the view and peace. Have dinner on the top deck, the middle deck over looking the pool or ground floor. This house is beautifully appointed and the kitchen is any cooks dream.
Inside there is plenty of room for everyone to find there on special spot. A spacious open plan encourages family dining and TV watching or go and search our a corner to enjoy a book. Plenty of books to choose from. Relaxation and family time is key to the ambience we are trying to provide you as you visit the gem that is Florida;s Nature Coast.
We pretty much guarantee you will be back once you have had an opportunity to experience the lifestyle and friendliness of this special area.Please note if you have a boats and tie to seawall it is a tidal sea wall and tides can get low. Check Kings Bay tide. You will need fenders to protect and some people tie up nose in.

Carry the kayaks across the road to a custom kayak launch and paddle directly into Kings Bay with its many natural springs and plenty of interaction with nature.
We are minutes by car to the famous Three Sisters Springs where hundreds of manatees gather in the cooler months. Also close is Hunter Springs with crystal clear waters to swim in, a sandy beach, playground and kayak and paddleboard launch.
Another small beach is just a few miles down the road at Ft Island Trail.
Want to experience glass bottom boat tours or dream of swimming with the manatees? Wanna learn to scuba dive or snorkel? We have many trusted guides and teachers in the area. Other ecological boat tours leave from the beautiful Crystal River State Preserve near the thought provoking Indian Burial grounds.
How about fishing? Offshore? In shore? We have many professional Captains who will put you on them and most will do scalloping trips too
After that busy day you will want to relax poolside . It is a very large pool area completely under a screen. The pool is NOT heated
We consider ourselves blessed with the wide choices of wining and dining venues. Some can be reached by boat and others by car and definitely make a point of going downtown for First Friday of the Month (weather permitting ) where locals and visitors mingle in a relaxed atmosphere listening to live music and supporting local vendors while enjoying a beverage in hand.

Shop til you drop downtown or if you need bigger outlet stores then Lecanto and Inverness are just 15 minutes away.

Theme parks like Universal and DIsney can be reached easily in two hours. Likewise the world famous Gulf beaches at St Pete and Clearwater are about 2 hours door to beach.

Great place for a Family needing 4 BR

Owner was engaging and checked in through our 2 week stay. The only issue was wish the pool was warmer so the kids could play more in it. Our 40 year olds took the 10 year old out and they saw manatees every time. Great location for restaurants and nature areas.

Nice place

Location of this rental was perfect. Access to the water for kayaking was very convenient. The only 2 down sides were one of the mattresses in the bedroom on the main floor is in need of replacement Very uncomfortable to sleep on. The other is the floor didn’t seem to be moped as we had an infant crawling around and his clothing and knees were very dirty. Other than that had a great time!

Awesome getaway spot

The property and location were incredible. You could launch your kayaks just across the road and paddle as far as you wanted to. Lots of cool bars and restaurants nearby. The manatees are a must see if you’re there between December and February. Overall a five star vacation. Thank you so much!!

Christmas Memo

This was a lovely property with plenty of room for 5 adults and a toddler to spread out. The kitchen and living area was spacious. The host Annie was wonderful. Annie decorated for the holidays and we even had a Christmas tree. Annie was very responsive to our texts and extremely helpful. Crystal River is a great location for families. Quiet and peaceful at the house with plenty of restaurants and family activities nearby. Threes Sisters State Park was amazing, the manatees were in abundance during our stay.
