Photos and Description of the Crystal River vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4-6)

Visit Florida's Nature Coast in our quiet and peaceful vacation home. This home is featured on an oversized corner lot approximately 3/4 acre. The lot is fenced and full of shade trees. We are situated on a freshwater canal approximately 50 yards from Kings Bay and offer a boatslip and a long 60 ft seawall to accomodate your boat. The home is a two bedroom, one bath home with an additional Queen sleeper sofa. It comfortably accomodates 6 people. Aside from the spacious and open tiled living/dining area, we have an enclosed Florida room, a screened in patio, and a screened lanai with a private pool. We offer cable t.v., wireless internet, and have a dvd/vcr and stereo system installed for your use.

Our visitors enjoy the tranquility that our home offers. It is very common to see manatees slowly making their way through our canal along with an occasional dolphin sighting!! There are several species of birds that come to feed in our yard that can be viewed through our comfortable Florida room and back screened patio. This home is located near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a residential neighborhood.

We have plenty of room to park your vehicles and boat trailers in the long driveway or in the yard. There is also a covered carport for your vehicle.

We do offer a canoe and a two single seater kayaks here at the home at no additional cost to you. There are also paddles and life jackets here for you. We have a crabtrap in the back you can use as there are several blue crabs in the canal. There is also a fish cleaning table in the back in front of the boatslip.

The home comes completely stocked with kitchen utensils, cookware, bed linens, towels and washcloths, soap and cleaning materials. There is a full washer/dryer here for your use and we keep you stocked with laundry detergent. All you need to bring are your personal toiletries and food!!

There is a county boat ramp with rest rooms and picnic area about 4 miles down Fort Island Trail. Fort Island Gulf Beach is 6 miles away on Ft. Island trail.

The area is perfect for swimming with the manatees and swimming in nearby springs. 3 Sisters and main spring are within paddling distance.

Please feel free to ask us any additional questions you may have regarding our home or the area. We do offer military and police discounts. Our home is open all year long for rental. Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon!

A gem of a property and owner!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 5, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
First of all a huge thank you to Cherie for being such a fantastic comunicator and responding to our many questions before the rental agreement was signed.

Last year we stayed in another place on a canal of the Crystal River, and while we would rank it as good, this place was far superior.

This very private and spacious 2 bedroom home was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The concrete steps at the canal allowed for a smooth transfer into and out of the kayaks.
We felt fortunate to witness manatee daily swimming by and on occasion munching on the plants directly in front of the property. There was a friendly great blue heron who peered into the sunroom and happily came approximately an arm's length away for the gefilte fish and frozen salmon hand-outs.
The beds were extremely comfortable and the surrounding neighbourhood and canal traffic was tranquil which was also important to us.

The convenience of a washer/dryer was a bonus and the laundry detergent provided was unexpected and another thoughtful touch. We were grateful to Cherie for providing so many other small necessities which included charcoal and Barbeque fluid

This is truly a home away from home and we plan to return.
Thanks so much Cherie!

This was a fantastic home for our girls weekend. It is located close to the grocery store and we ran out several times for things that we needed to cook in the fully stocked kitchen. The kayaks and canoe were great, we went up to Three Sisters Springs daily to swim with the manatees. We saw manatees and dolphins swimming by the house. Beautiful birds and sounds all around. The owner was a delight to work with, helped us with anything that we needed. The beds were comfy, the linens were plentiful, it was clean and we all loved it. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to a friend. I would return again, and I just may. I would recommend a better corkscrew(we made it work, but it was a challenge) and snorkel gear(even just a few masks). I did discover on our way out of town that there was a dive shop right down the road that sold snorkel mask for $15, FYI. This is a wonderful place, I cannot say enough about what an amazing getaway we had. Very grateful, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with others.

Family Vacation

Our son and family were in from Indiana and we rented this home for the water access and pool. It was a wonderful week, and the home was perfect for our needs! The children loved the pool the most, but the canoe rides were awsome also! Our daughter and husband came up one day and we rented a pontoon and enjoyed the beautiful Kings Bay, Three Sisters Springs is breathtaking! This home was very clean and well stocked! The only real problem was the grass had not been mowed and the mosquitoes were very bad( thank goodness for the two screened porches!) (: We would stay again and might just very well do that the next time they come to Florida!! Cherie was very helpful with the renting process and answered all questions quickly and efficiently!

Ready To Go Back

5 of 5
Submitted: August 20, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
My husband and I chose this house for three reasons; location, amenities & pet friendly. I was a little worried when we pulled up to the house, let's be honest, it's lacking some curb appeal. The home is a typical older Florida home that sits on a beautiful piece of property. When we entered, the worried feeling changed, everything was incredibly clean. The kitchen is older but perfectly useable and the bathroom has great water pressure (once we figured out how to use the shower) and is very clean.
There is a lot of space for you to spread out. There are three inclosed seating areas along the back and side of the house, all screened in. We enjoyed the screened in area that over looks the canal the most. There are a few things that need fixing, but for the price, they are easily overlooked.

The amenities that come with the house are amazing! The pool was very enjoyable, clean and had a deep end that is actually deep. The canoe and kayaks provided hours of enjoyment and allowed us access to the magical Three Sisters Springs. We saw several manatees swimming by the house in the canal, along with lots and lots of big fish. Our dogs enjoyed swimming in the canal and looking up in to the trees at all of the squirrels and birds. The house is also right down the road from a beautiful, sandy beach (Fort Island Beach) that is quiet. We watched the most beautiful sunset we have ever seen from that beach.

It was so wonderful to get away from technology and get out and enjoy mother nature. The area is gorgeous & everyone we encountered on King's Bay was friendly and helpful. Many great memories were made!

Fantastic Week!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 22, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We had a fantastic week scalloping, riding horses, swimming with the manatees, fishing, canoeing and we loved the Palm Springs house. We live in Florida but this was our first visit to Crystal River and surprised how much there is to do in the area. Who needs Orlando and the crowds there! ;) The canoe and kayaks are a great plus. This is a great setup for any family that loves the water. The house has everything you need. Our expectations were exceeded and hope to visit again in the future. It's nice to dock your boat in the back yard. I don't want to over-inflate a future renter's expectations and they be disappointed so here's the other side of the coin. It's a nice, comfortable, older home with a few issues (no deal breakers) for rent at a great price. Don't expect the Ritz-Carlton and you won't be disappointed.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much George and rest of the family! We are happy to hear your first trip to Crystal River was great. (We love it here too!) Thank you for your honest description of our rental. We definitely try to keep the home stocked with extras and comforts so that our guests will be happy. By no means are we a picture of perfection! But we do try to add to and make consistent improvements. Thank you so much and please come back to visit!
