Quick girlfriend getaway to Crystal River
Lovely property, convenient to everywhere! Pool just outside the door and dock just beyond the pool. Even though there are only 2 bedrooms there was PLENTY of sleeping space for our group of 6. Super soft sheets, adequate # of towels, and everything we needed in the kitchen. We would definitely stay here again.

Some issues with the property
Overall the house was beautiful and really large and in a great location. We just had some bad luck really. When we got there the home smelled like urine. So we had to open it all up and call the property manager. They gave us some air freshener and said it should go away. It never did, when we had to close the place up because of weather, it came back. It was in a central location by the 1/2 bath. Then when it rained, the septic backed up into the shower and all the toilets and we had to call them again. We couldn't take showers, do laundry, anything really for a whole day. They sent someone right out the next afternoon. The pool really is not warm enough when the weather isn't hot out, that is no ones fault, just FYI.

Overall excellent place to stay; would recommend Two suggestions to improve: A/C unit makes loud popping noise every time it comes on. Palm tree fronds are hanging down enough to block the sidewalk at front door.

House with everything
We spent a week in this lovely home equipped with every amenity. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need even on the first night of your arrival. The little touches (bath soaps, shampoos, etc.) are more indicative of a B &B than a house rental. One can spend a day looking at all of the interesting beach-centered wall art. We especially noted how many wall sockets are in the house in this age of needing to re-charge devices. We are a couple in our 70’s, who enjoyed the view of the canal from the patio without a pressing need to go out and explore; the house is much larger than our needs now. There is adequate space and activity (fishing, crabbing, kayaking) for two couples or two families to share this spaciously designed house. Linda and Dan are more than accommodating, and will answer your every question about the home or the area.

Nice place, not for fishing enthusiasts.
Property and owners were very nice, boat dock was very cluttered, plus boat lift was inoperable. Canal is very shallow. Our boat stayed on trailer in lot across the street. House was very well stocked and holiday decorations were all about the house.

Awesome place! A few things to note…
So clean! I felt like I was staying at my favorite Aunt’s house. You know, the one who was on Golden Girls. Classic, classy, Florida style. The mauve bathroom in the master is coming back in style! Note: “4 car driveway” = one Ford F-250. Boat dock and boat lift work great. No trailer parking. We used the empty lot across the street for trailer and additional truck. Didn’t have permission, but didn’t get in trouble either. Pool-it’s a Little Dipper! 20 ft by 7 ft, 6 foot deep. It was just fine for us. Just don’t expect a big pool.

Good Find
Great place. Pool, dock, kitchen and amenities were perfect for our group of 6. Everything all of us needed to be comfortable and enjoy a great few days stay. Throwing it out, neighbors seem to not like the house being a VRBO but we didn’t let that bother us. That’s just our thoughts, nothing happened just sensed it. Wouldn’t have changed the time spent and appreciate the stay! We had a blast. Would book again.

Week of the 4th
We had a great 5 days at this home. Relaxing out on the dock watching manatees, sitting by the pool. Taking the boats out to scallop. Going to the springs. Property owners were nice, and live in the same neighborhood. Neighborhood is very quiet. Dock was big enough for 2 boats. An overall good experience.

This was a great location and property. Close to everything but the setting is quiet and peaceful. You can enjoy your morning coffee out on the dock enjoying the sounds of nature and watching the fish jump. We had a little issue with the lock but the owners were quick to resolve and stopped by to make sure all was OK. they gave us recommendations for things in the area. Would definitely recommend

Peaceful home away from home
The home was very clean and just as described. The owners stopped by and were very friendly! Pool was cleaned during our trip as well. The location is beautiful and the neighborhood so quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed many nighttime walks. The home has plenty of room and we loved the flow of the home. The pool was a plus for the kiddos, although it was a little cold. Loved having pool noodles, life vests, and beach towels at the property. The grill didn’t heat up as much as we expected and took a long while. Fort Island Beach has beautiful sunsets! Perfect location to town and 5 minutes to swim at Hunters spring or with the manatees. Would stay again!!!!
