The home was perfect for our friends and us, with a well-stocked kitchen with a great coffee bar, the pool was refreshing after being in saltwater all day, and the home was very clean. The canal to the main river takes about 1/2 hour to meander, but we enjoyed the time in nature. The host was very communicative and made sure we were comfortable and satisfied. – Phillip This is an amazing place. On the water and has a pool. Sandra is super helpful and responsive.

The one complaint is that the master bedroom bed was extremely uncomfortable. My husband and I have different preferences of the firmness of the bed, but it was not comfortable for either one of us, making it very hard for both of us to sleep. Very worn out on both sides of the bed. ##### Malcolm M. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Colleen R. Dec 4, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Crystal River Stay The location was great - the rest of the property is a bit run down and needs to be upgraded. One of the beds was full of sand so the sheets hadn't been changed. Needs more variety of cookware in the kitchen since the gas and charcoal grills were unusable because they were so dirty and rusted. The drain in the second bathroom was sluggish and threatened to overflow the tub. The fill valve on the second bathroom screamed as it was filling and would wake up the house in the middle of the night. ##### Colleen R. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ken C., St Petersburg, Flaroda Oct 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Short of Essentials The house was advertised as a three bedroom two bathroom but was a two bedroom and two bath and had one frying pan and no pots, it also lacked things like salt and pepper and other simple items which one would think would be included. The house was clean and neat and met our needs but could be improved with some simple additions. ##### Ken C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren C.

Easy access to the Gulf for scalloping and kings bay for great restaurants and springs. House is very clean and has two living areas inside and a large screened porch pool is a very nice amenity.

Jul 14, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Great location on canal. We saw a couple of large manatees on the first day and a 3 foot alligator on the next to last day. The pool is small but was adequate. However there are a lot of bugs in the screened in pool area due to the large amount of foliage in there which made it unpleasant to sit out there. The amount of chlorine in the pool is intolerable. Great house with a lot of potential but a lot of things are broken and need repair. The most needing repair is the squeaky bed in the master bedroom and the toilet with the leaky seal in the master bathroom that very loudly fills up every 15 minutes. We had to shut the toilet lid and close the bathroom door to keep it from waking us up. There were a handful of roaches and that is a problem that they need to hire a professional pest control person to fix. It didn’t really bother us but that might be a dealbreaker for some people. It was a small house with a small pool but it was adequate for three people. The cleaning people don’t do a very good job. They definitely need to go through and clean out all of the junk and extra stuff and furniture and get a new set of pans. Part of why people rent a house is because they want to cook meals at home. The barbecue is also in terrible shape. We really enjoyed our stay there but definitely feel that the owners and property management could make it a really nice place that would be more in line with what they are charging for it. ##### Tracy H.

Not far from the main channel that leads to the Gulf or Kings Bay. Home had plenty of room for our party of 4, and the pool was a very nice feature to come home to after a long day out on the water. Contactung the owner was no problem and they are very nice. Will definitely book again. ##### Michel C. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori R.
