The canal was very shallow at low tide, but the owner gave us instructions on how to come and go so we wouldn't damage anything. Check in was seamless. Teri was very responsive and tried to accommodate us because we arrived earlier than expected. The house was great. Everything was clean. Whatever we needed we had available to us. The pool was fantastic to cool off in the afternoon after a day on the water scalloping. The kitchen was giant, and had anything we needed. The beds were all comfortable. The dock was perfect for our boat, and the fish cleaning area was huge! We also loved the outdoor kitchen area and the grill. We would definitely recommend this house to everyone, and we will most likely stay here again next year. ##### Nicholas F. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan K.

The canal is quiet, and the house has a floating dock facing a preserve. The yard is completely fenced in and safe for the dogs. We lucked out as a cold front came through during our stay bringing tons of manatees out of the gulf towards the springs. Quite a feast to be so close to so many of these gentle giants!!. ##### May-li C. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Mike O. Apr 21, 2017 #### Lovelt Home We loved the home. The owners are very easy to work with. They keep you informed about everything you need. The kitchen is just one word "AWESOME". It has everythin you need or want in a kitchen. Even has a stand alone ice maker. Not one of those little counter top ones but on the size of a small dishwasher. The beds are very comfortable. The pool and dock are great. The orange trees where an added bonus. I will say that on low tide a boat won't make it through a spot in the channel but you just need to avoid that time and you would be fine. We kayaked to see the manatees and it was beautiful. I did not get a change to use the outdoor kitchen but it looked very nice. ##### Mike O.

We chose to stay in Crystal River for a getaway that was close to home (2hr drive). The house was nicely appointed as described. We brought paddle boards and enjoyed paddling to Three Sisters Spring. There was a juvenile gator in the canal behind the house and several manatees that came by frequently. This was the restful getaway we had hoped for. The host was very responsive to emails and phone calls. We had a little problem with the AC that was quickly repaired. I hope they will fix the snook lights in the back. For better night fishing. We would definitely recommend to others. Thank you Terri! ##### Diane L. Stayed 7 nights in May 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph F.

It was decorated nicely and the owners thought of everything. Very organized. Thank you for opening this home to the public. It was such a nice relaxing stay. ##### Kirsten S.

The canal is navigable at tides above 1'. Pay attention to the tides when planning your boating activities. Stay far right in the canal in bound and left exiting. The home is very charming and well equipped. ##### Robert W. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicole N. Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Love Crystal River Always have an absolute blast staying in Crystal River. You can tell the home was recently remodeled fresh and very clean. Everything in the home is very well taken care of and communication with the owner is quick and responsive. The home is well stocked with every you would need to cook. Our only major complaint is the canal is extremely rocky. We have a 26 foot pathfinder and there were multiple times. It was very difficult to navigate due to the water being under 2 feet. The bottom is very rocky and really damaged our boat. At one point, we could not even reach the home because the canal was completely dry across. You have to watch the tides. Only one of the rocks is marked in the channel and thank goodness the neighbors let us know of another one. Unfortunately, there was even more and we took a big chunk at the bottom of our boat. ##### Nicole N.
