Swim with the Manatees!

We stayed in this home during Spring Break and had a wonderful week. The house itself is well-furnished and has pretty much everything you'd ever need (towels, kitchen supplies etc). It's also a deceptively large house, with lots of room for a large family. The back porch is really large and comfortable and has a great view, but our favorite place to hang out was definitely the dock. So much fun to sit and watch for wildlife to come by. Swimming down the river to the spring was fun too, and we were lucky enough to see lots of manatees -- late afternoon is the best time to go when the human traffic is down.

We stayed here and loved it. We are very finicky about clean and fresh - the house is spotless and comfortable. Crystal River is a favorite of ours. We rented kayaks at A Crystal River company which has a launch just 10 minutes paddling past the canal that the house is on, all along the same neighborhood. We rented paddle boards from Birds Underwater Tours just 10 minutes up rt 19. The new kitchen is lovely with two ovens. The nice new washer dryer set was very handy. Beds were comfortable and plenty of linens and blankets. A lot of wildlife to view on the water and a friendly heron visits often. We also recommend River Safaris located on Yulee Road, past the Wildlife Park in Homossasa to rent a pontoon and tour the Homossassa River from the blue springs area to the gulf. There is a nice swimming spring there as well. We bought groceries at Publix which had a good selection of natural/organic foods for a supermarket. My father enjoyed the large screened porch a lot. The house is mostly one level and has a large walk in 2-person sized shower as well as a full bath with tub.

I can not express how wonderful our stay was, thank you for the opportunity to share in the enjoyment of your beautiful property. My children and I enjoyed the canal and its wildlife as well as a swim to the springs to swim with the manatees, there were so many. It was a very peaceful and memorable vacation. Property is as described and more and the owners were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Definetly would like to visit again! Thank you!
