Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect spot for Scalloping & Relaxation We had a great time at the Scallop Shack! The location was perfect for scalloping - easy access boat ramp, nice dock & beautiful ride to the Gulf and Springs. We brought our teens (ages 15-19) and their boyfriends and everyone had a great time. The pool/ping pong table is great for all ages. The Host’s communication was top-notch! Very easy to work with. Highly recommend this house and will stay again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e4410664-9c2b-4367-8612-18f5b099452b-1752078909945.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jeni S.

Thank you for our great stay at the Scallop Shack. My husband & I had a trip of a lifetime and staying in this fantastic spot was certainly a part of that. We went deep sea fishing, inshore fishing, air boat rides, and visited several waterside restaurants and shops in the area. Definitely recommend to anybody looking to stay in Crystal River! ##### Carissa G. Stayed 14 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### paula s. Feb 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### wonderful snowbird getaway from the cold winter weather! 3 week stay & this recently remodeled home met expectations. Very comfortable furniture/beds. kitchen: large island & nice appliances. Hubby loves to cook, so nice to have large prep area! Weber gas grill is HUGE plus! We are big nature lovers, so being on the water was GREAT! very lucky to see manatees & dolphins! There are all kinds of birds: bluebirds, cardinals, mocking birds, catbirds, ospreys, ibis, night herons & more! glad there was a screen porch, as we had a couple of days dealing with seasonal no seeum bugs, but the screen porch allowed us to “be outside” when we wanted. Very comfy patio furniture 2 chairs & love seat & enjoyed all meals on the bar height dining set! Another big plus: this home has a garage. Other rentals we have used in the past have not. Very nice if a bad storm or if raining when unload/load your vehicle! Another important thing for me is how walkable the area is:due to a physical disability from a car accident, I need to walk daily to keep my mobility. The area is beautiful, & a lot of it is wooded. VERY friendly neighbors. If you want to do some cooking/grilling, be sure to check out the local fish Crab Plant, Seafood Seller and if you want to drive a bit further, Shelly’s Seafood in Homosassa. Because this home is really close to “downtown” you don’t have to drive far to go the restaurants on the water. Our favorites were Crackers, Tipsy Tarpon, & Crab Plant’s restaurant. ##### paula s. Stayed 21 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allie K. Jan 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Location & space Location was great (very quiet & peaceful neighborhood) & getting into the house was simple. We had a few issues with the heat (yes the heat, in Florida lol), not working correctly, but communicating w/ the owners was easy & they were very prompt with their communication, supplying space heaters (even had 2 delivered to the house asap) and had the HVAC tech out immediately, and the issue was fixed! Some of the bed linens did not appear to be cleaned, however speaking w/ the owners we resolved this issue quickly too. The rest of the house was very clean, well organized, well stocked on towels, kitchen had everything we needed to cook all our meals, and the ping pong/pool table made family time a lot of fun!! TV worked & the couch & chairs were comfy. We didn’t use the kayaks due to it being very cold in January, but we did utilize the fishing poles- so much fun! According to the neighbors, there are occasional manatees & dolphins who visit the cove/pond!! Bathrooms were very clean too (even supplied with good toilet paper lol). The 2 back bedroom beds were a bit on the hard/firm side. There were some extra blankets in the closets which was nice to have. The outdoor screened porch was such a nice & clean space, we wished it were warmer for us to use this space more! The grill worked great, and there’s a nice little firepit too! Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay!! ##### Allie K.
