Fabulous vacation rental home in the heart of Crystal River! Bring your boats! There's no bridge blocking your way to the Gulf. Home is fun ready! Boat or Kayak from the 8 x 20 floating dock (open on both ends) to Three Sisters Springs. Spacious home with very open floor plan for family fun! 3 Bedroom 2 Bath, sleeps 10 people. Great place for family and friends to gather for some rest and relaxation after an adventurous day on the water. Fully equipped kitchen that's waiting for the seafood chef in you to cook the catch of the day, or enjoy your meal cooked on the Weber gas grill on the outdoor rear deck. At least 6 kayaks and life vests are provided. Three Sister's Springs, Kings Bay and Hunter Springs are nearby.

Perfect property for our family. Very clean and comfortable. We had children and pets. My grandkids loved the fooseball, kayaks and fishing from the dock. Plenty of yard for pets. Everything we wanted in the kitchen and a gas grill on the deck. We played games at the large inside table. We highly recommend a stay at this home and hope to book again.

The house was bright with natural light. We enjoyed the cute fish decor. The house had everything needed, and we appreciated the filtered water and kcup as well as drip coffee pot. There were plenty of blankets/towels. We utilized the kayaks and saw manatees pass from the dock and one had a gps tracker that we learned about and saw come by again. We paddled to King Spring and 3 Sisters Spring. King's Spring is about 15-20 min. Paddle to catch sunset. Our standard poodle enjoyed his time here too, which is why we chose this pet friendly vrbo. He goes with us everywhere. We felt secure and accomodated. This place was cleaned nicely and had a clean scent. We would reccomend and re-book here.
