Perfect place to escape!
The Nest is a perfect place for some rest and relaxation! Conveniently located to everything you may need but just off the beaten path enough to feel like you’re isolated. If you’re looking to do some Crystal River activities you’re only 25 mins away. The host was super accommodating and the house itself was great! Very clean and had everything we needed! We kayaked and fished right from the yard. The enclosed sunroom was fabulous! Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for letting us escape to your little spot in paradise.

Much needed get away
From the moment that we drove up to the Nest we felt that we had made the right decision in staying here, from the kayaks to the dock area to the sitting area under the house it was all perfectly set up. The interior was clean with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The enclosed porch to relax in the Ac or the outside eating area upstairs gave us options for dinner daily. The host communicated promptly with any requests or questions. We will return to this vacation spot for sure. Overall, it was an amazing time to celebrate our 42nd anniversary. Blessings.

My husband and I loved this place. It was very clean and check in was a breeze. We came to the area to snorkel with the manatees and to relax. This was a perfect place to relax. We enjoyed fishing in their backyard. The Backwater Fin restaurant Kim recommended was very good.

Although this property is out in the country/swamp, it was very clean and very quiet. About a 5 mile drive back into the Crystal River area. This place was perfect for a couple. We had plenty of room and parking under the house. The weather was a little too cool to kayak but if warmer that may have been an option. Short drives to Crystal River, Homosassa Springs, and Weeki Wachee Springs. I would stay here again!!!!!! Crumps at Homosassa was a great place for waterfront dining & drinks. Highly recommend this house! Well equipped with wifi and a nice TV.

Great location, great host, great fishing
We enjoyed our stay immensely. We are avid fishermen so it suited us perfectly. Drawback was that the main bedroom's bed could sleep two if it was a couple, but fishermen don't usually sleep together. Fortunately we did bring a folding matress so we were good. Could not find a toaster, but kurig was great and coffee supply well stocked. Place was super clean and very cute.

Awesome
Every year my kids and I explore different springs throughout Florida. This area was appealing to us because there are several springs to see within a 40 minute drive. The place was awesome. My son and I did some fishing and caught a 20" redfish right in the back yard. The wildlife was abundant between birds, snakes and even a small gator out in marsh. The views were spectacular from the air conditioned Florida room. The place had everything we needed and was close to grocery stores and restaurants. 10/10

We were in town for my son’s wedding and found this place for the week. I absolutely can say this was one of the best places I have ever stayed. The view was beyond beautiful, cottage was clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The host was awesome and I certainly plan to be back. AWESOME

Where to begin?! Our trip was amazing! The the property was very clean and very welcoming. The beds were extremely comfortable! There was so little extra things that she included like cooking oil and seasonings tea and coffee and so much more! Our son loved staying on the water. Whenever we weren't out exploring the area he was fishing from the shore. He caught catfish, Blue Crabs even a stingray! We loved using The kayaks that she provided for exploring the marsh around the property. We had such a great time!

Beautiful setting. Kayaking was amazing and so easy to do. We launched right out of the property. The place was clean and well maintained. You could also go for a bicycle ride. The roads have almost no traffic and there is beautiful scenery to look at. They have 3 nice bikes for use on the property. The local area was wonderful. Great place to get away and do a little adventuring but still have amenities near by. I would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing Adorable get away
Thee Next was a perfect place to stay. Kimberly made our stay easy and relaxing even before we arrived. Providing us with all the house details. The house is peaceful and so close to nature. We loved the easy access to the water and the kayak on the water. We truly enjoyed the porch that overlooks the. canal waterway. We ate breakfast there each morning. The home's decor is lovely and inviting. The host provided all of the essentials for cooking including a nice supply of coffee. They have thought of every detail. Everything at Thee Next makes you feel like you are at home. We ate breakfast and lunch at Thee Next and dinner out at the local restaurants. Our favorite restaurant was Backwater Fins. The food was great and well priced. It is close and a nice relaxing place on the water. We swam with the Manatee at Plantation Adventures. We went kayaking with River adventures at Homosassa Springs. We went airboat riding from Ozellia Marina, they are right around the corner from Thee Next. All of the tours were exactly what we had hoped for on our vacation. We saw lots of birds and many Osprey nests. We will definitely recommend Thee Nest to friends and plan to return.

Loved the quiet more remote location. House was very nice and we enjoyed using the kayaks. However kayaking at the canal near the home was not possible.. even with plenty of repellent the mosquitoes ate us up. Black ants in the home as well. Fishing was great until the mosquitoes took over.

Great FL Spot
This was such a unique spot just outside of Crystal River! It was close to everything but we really enjoyed being out of town and surrounded by water. The house was cozy and I truly appreciated all the little amenities like coffee, toiletries, and laundry products. We spent all of our time on the porch - it’s so relaxing and comfortable!

This is a great little place away from town, peaceful & quiet. The screened side porch is the perfect spot for dinner or just relaxing. We enjoyed grilling seafood from the local market...kayaking...swimming with the manatee... and visiting Three Sisters Springs. This is old Florida at it's best!
