We had a wonderful experience and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you to Jason for making the process so easy and for sharing his home with us. Our family truly enjoyed the perfectly heated pool, the layout of the home, the dock to launch our kayaks and the kayaks that were provided, etc. One of our absolute favorite spring breaks so far. Thanks so much for your hospitality.

The property was awesome. The house layout was really nice and functional. The hosts thought of everything with the place. Everyone had a great time and we caught our scallop limit. I would say the house feels a lot bigger in person than the photos. Of your looking for a vacation rental hands down rent this house.

Honestly, this stay was amazing. All the amenities you need in such a relaxing clean space and neighborhood, right on the canal. My kids lived in the pool! My son fished off pier and caught bass, pinfish, mangrove snapper, and more. We cooked/grilled almost everyday, all the cooking items you need. Hosts were amazing with communication and attentive to any needs. Couldn’t be happier!

This property is absolutely beautiful. The owners thought of everything to make our stay clean, easy and relaxing. It’s located really close to lots of recreational activities and great local restaurants in Crystal River. You really don’t even have to leave the house if you don’t want to, everything is there for you to have an enjoyable vacation. Swimming pool, kayaks, paddle boards, bicycles, fire pit, gas grill, boat dock, and plenty of chairs for relaxing and doing nothing. The neighborhood was very beautiful and peaceful. We definitely recommend this rental and will be returning to it and staying longer.

We had a fabulous long weekend at this beautiful home! It’s one of the nicest places we’ve rented in Crystal River and Jason was wonderful to work with! From the time of booking through the end of our stay. We had a couple of questions upon arrival and a slight issue when leaving and Jason promptly responded when texted. Pretty much anything you’d need in the kitchen was supplied if you had forgotten to bring something or didn’t have the room to. Plenty of amenities are there for you to use if you’re inclined and there’s a multitude of interesting places to visit in the vicinity. Our family especially enjoys kayaking in the King’s Bay/Three Sisters area. The Crab Plant and Crumps have great food and are dog friendly! We definitely hope to stay at this property again. Thanks so much!
