Slip Away is a spacious canal-front home in Crystal River with room for 9, a private floating dock, two kayaks and bikes for the whole family. Spend the day on the water, then come back to a full kitchen, a waterside deck and a gas grill. Bring your own boat, the closest ramp is less than a mile away. Manatees in winter, scalloping in summer, fishing all year.
Three bedrooms, two baths and about 1,700 square feet give everyone room to spread out. The canal is right out the back door, and the quiet dead-end street keeps it peaceful.
