Hugh Bear Haven: Pool, Tiki Bar, Kayaks, Dog-Friendly

Welcome to Hugh Bear Haven, a spacious and private Crystal River getaway tucked among the trees and designed for relaxing, reconnecting, and enjoying everything this area has to offer.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sleeps up to 8 guests and offers a peaceful setting while still being conveniently located near some of Crystal River’s best attractions. You’re just minutes from the Crystal River Archaeological State Park and only 2.5 miles from the nearest city boat ramp, making it easy to get out on the water for boating, fishing, or scalloping.

Inside, you’ll find bright, comfortable spaces with an open layout, a fully equipped kitchen, dining space for gathering, and roomy bedrooms that make it easy for families and groups to spread out.

The outdoor space is where Hugh Bear Haven really shines. The screened in-ground pool is perfect for cooling off after a day on the water, and the covered tiki area is made for fun evenings at home with a grill, TV, and dart board. Whether you’re cooking dinner, watching the game, or just enjoying the quiet wooded setting, there’s plenty of space to relax.

Traveling with dogs? A fully fenced portion of the yard gives your pups a safe place to stretch their legs during your stay.

For guests ready to explore, 4 kayaks are included so you can enjoy Crystal River’s beautiful waterways and nearby springs.

We had an incredible stay at this pool home in Crystal River! It was also wonderful to find such a great pet-friendly spot so the dogs could join in on the family vacation. The house was clean, comfortable, and in a fantastic location.

We were very impressed when we came in and the house was so clean and very large for a 32. Everything was provided very nicely plenty of towels by the pool very nice amenities! Kelsey the property manager got back to me within minutes of my questions. We’re staying here in the heat of the Florida sun and the pool was just amazing to keep cool and the tiki bar and Blackstone Grill was a very nice touch!! We look forward to staying with you in the future and this house is definitely worth every penny!! Quiet and friendly neighborhood…
