Come visit beautiful Crystal River and relax in our house. Take any of our 4 kayaks across the bay to the famous Three Sisters Springs and see the manatees. Head out to the Gulf of Mexico in your boat for some great fishing or the always popular scalloping (when in season). We have a 50' dock with a floating section for ease of launching the kayaks. There is an ice machine in the garage that produces enough ice to keep your coolers full. A heated screened-in pool for family and friends to enjoy. Our house is just a short distance to Ft. Island Gulf beach where you can sit and relax while the kids play in the water. Just past the house is access to two boat ramps. This home is fully furnished with 3 flat screen TVs with cable. There are 2 queen beds in the guest bedrooms. A king size bed in the master bedroom leaving plenty of sleeping room for everyone. For your convenience, we provide FREE wireless Internet. We have a high-efficiency washer and dryer available for your use. Linens and towels are provided for your use. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need to cook with (blender, coffee pot, microwave, toaster). A BBQ grill is also provided for outdoor grilling. The house is located just a short distance to a grocery store, restaurants, and shopping in historic downtown Crystal River, Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, walking and bike trails, scuba diving, and swimming with the manatees. Boat Docking and Canal: We have a 50' dock with a small floating dock attached that leaves about 30' of dock space for 1 boat. We are in the corner of the cove, there is not enough room to tie boats side by side, so only 1 boat will fit on our dock. The canal can get shallow in spots at low tide, less than 2' during the summer months and less than that during the winter months. You will make memories to last a lifetime here! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Dock - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Smoking is not permitted inside the home ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Heated pool - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Bar (on property)](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/15400/15400/5e35a613.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### PaddleTail Waterfront Lodge, Trademark Collection by Wyndham Crystal River - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Parking included 8.8 Excellent 1,416 reviews CA $184 CA $204 total includes taxes & fees Apr 5 - Apr 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-05&endDate=2026-04-06&selected=15400&PinnedHotelID=15400&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Free buffet breakfast](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2470000/2463300/2463265/4c3f118a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Holiday Inn Express Crystal River by IHG Crystal River - Pool - Breakfast included - Pet friendly - Parking included 9.2 Wonderful 1,000 reviews CA $304 CA $337 total includes taxes & fees Apr 12 - Apr 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=2463265&PinnedHotelID=2463265&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Porch](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/80000000/79280000/79275300/79275250/734137ac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Crystal River Lullaby B&B Crystal River - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 45 reviews CA $303 CA $337 total includes taxes & fees Apr 12 - Apr 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=79275250&PinnedHotelID=79275250&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Reception](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/4000000/3100000/3095700/3095649/98866644.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Spring Hill/Weeki Wachee Spring Hill - Pool - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free WiFi 8.6 Excellent 1,002 reviews CA $144 CA $161 total includes taxes & fees Apr 5 - Apr 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-05&endDate=2026-04-06&selected=3095649&PinnedHotelID=3095649&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![MANATEE APARTMENT | Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118710000/118706200/118706162/199e1616.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Three Sisters Cottages Crystal River - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews CA $301 CA $334 total includes taxes & fees Mar 23 - Mar 24 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-23&endDate=2026-03-24&selected=118706162&PinnedHotelID=118706162&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94320000/94317100/94317085/3611c0aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Crystal River Gem Near Three Sisters Springs!

We had a great time and especially appreciated the great location. The owner called to check on us because a tornado had passed through Crystal River the night before.

We especially loved sitting out of the patio with the pool and canal right there. In the evening we were minutes to the beach to view the lovely sunsets.

Beautiful property, beautiful location. One issue was the busy main road - the noise didn’t bother us too much, but pulling out of the driveway was challenging! After staying a week we had still not quite figured out how to get out of the driveway safely….it doesn’t help that people rarely obey the posted speed limit! Everything else was great! ##### Conor F. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### lara g. Sep 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Labor Day weekend trip Had a nice stay, there is not a really good place to put your boat- we did keep it on the side yard but we are on a busy street and very close to the road so had to lock up everything and bring poles in every night. They do have a doc bit the water is very shallow during low tide so we did not utilize it- we have a 25 ft center console flats boat and didn’t want to risk being stuck during low tide. Mark was great to work with and the pool and outdoor living space is awesome. I think they could benefit from a few upgrades but honestly it is a nice play to stay and has everything you need. You are less than 5 min to a nice boat launch so no problems there. Overall nice stay and Mark was more than accommodating and easy to work with. If looking for a nice place to relax and watch all the wildlife in the river this is the place for you. ##### lara g. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven W. Nov 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic home with boat/fishing dock on the canal Fantastic! Our family had an amazing time at Mark's home. Mark was very easy to communicate with before and during our trip and answered all of our questions. The property is set on the canal with a boat/fishing dock and a great cleaning table for the fish that you WILL catch! The house is great with an open floor plan, and a kitchen with everything you will need. There are 3 bedrooms with comfortable beds and bedding and two great bathrooms The house has a washer/dryer and even an ice maker for your beach trip cooler! The pool was heated to an amazing 87 degrees and was screened to keep out the bugs in the evening. Best of all, there are 6 kayaks that we use each day to explore the canals, Crystal River, and Kings Bay. We saw Manatees, Dolphins, and beautiful turtles and birds on our kayaking trips. Less than 10 minutes away was Fort Island Beach, a white sandy beach with several fishing piers. We would highly recommend Mark and his beautiful home and look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Crystal River. Thanks again Mark for a wonderful vacation for my family! ##### Steven W. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly H.

It was great that we could kayak right over to the manatees at our own pleasure ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0bfe0ea8-bc39-47d6-9fc1-61d39d3cabbc-1765735656310.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/07774324-34b5-4aec-94b6-4aefa4996382-1765735653362.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c7e8e8c-8e53-4844-997a-c341c236fb74-1765735658141.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4a291c54-c47f-4a0a-8e56-9f75f9168f8e-1765735661162.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kelly H.

Clean and spacious. There are several kayaks to us and is a quick 30-40 minute paddle across to three sisters springs. Bay is a no wake zone which makes paddling easy and safe. ##### Peter R.
