6 Reviews of Property 383146 in Crystal River, Florida

The cottage was just as pretty as the pictures. Having our boat at the back door was wonderful. LOVED our week there and wish we didn't have to leave after a week. Crystal River area has fun places to eat and drink, the waters are so clear, and shopping was convenient. Hope to do it again.

I can't add anything to the other reviews. They said it all, but I'll try to add something. It was so nice! Everything! We needed to relax and that's just what we did. It was total comfort. The one day of rain didn't even hinder us, I fished while it was raining. The animal life was friendly and entertaining and the kayak was a fun experience. We look forward to a future stay.

My husband and I stayed here for the month of March. I have to agree with the two other reviewers that this is a wonderful house. We had never been to the Crystal River area and this was a perfect location. The neighborhood was quiet and very friendly (met many dog walkers) where nature abounds. The kayaks were a pleasant surprise and were taken advantage of often. The birds, dolphins and of course, manatees were spotted and our black lab was very happy with her daily “dips” into the canal trying to catch those pesky mullets. The house was very laid out with ample closet space and plenty of storage drawers for all our cloths. The kitchen had a good selection of cooking vessels and utensils. The owners, Ed and Kathy were very accommodating and pleasant. My husband and I are avid college basketball fans and were disappointed to find out we weren’t able to get channels on the TV for “March Madness.” I emailed Kathy and they immediately made arrangements to up-grade the cable service to include more channel for us. We were very pleased. If we go back to this area in the future, we will certainly make this our first choice.

This well furnished, lovingly restored cracker style home is ideally suited for 2 to 4 adults to enjoy Florida's "nature coast" at its best. In addition to easy access to a deep water channel in the backyard, the house is a pleasant walk from a state archeological park and the Crystal River. From our own floating dock we were able to kayak to the manatee filled springs in Crystal River itself, with a choice of Tiki bars to stop at en route. Many other kayaking, bird watching, and fishing side trips were an easy drive from the house. The welcoming and gracious manner of the hosts, Ed and Kathy added to the pleasure of our stay-they were eager to help with any need. Our only complaint about our visit is that didn't book it for a longer period. Next time we will know better.
