Relaxing retreat on the water-10 minutes to Gulf and Springs!

COMPLETELY RENOVATED...It’s time to unwind on Florida’s Nature Coast! You and up to five guests will enjoy a full week in a two bedroom/two bath waterfront home in Crystal River. Your vacation home is located on a deep-water canal halfway between Shell Island and Kings Bay off of Ft. Island Trail. The location makes this house a dream for fishing, scalloping, kayaking or just good ole’ relaxation!

Unwind on the back deck and/or dock with a cocktail or two while enjoying the evening sunset. The 50’ dock has plenty of space for your boat and features an outdoor shower, fish cleaning table and ladder. Your vacation home sits just seven houses from the open waters of the river and includes the use of four kayaks that will get you to the river in just minutes.

The house comfortably sleeps six adults and features two master bedrooms (king beds), two bathrooms, family room with two sofas and a recliner and a Florida room that serves as an additional family room/sleeping area with a queen sleeper sofa, 2 comfy chairs and dining room table for four.

Additional features include boat trailer parking, Wi-Fi, cable TV, BBQ grill, washer, dryer, one car garage with refrigerator/freezer, four adult & youth life vests, fully stocked kitchen, regular coffee maker, blender, mixer and crockpot. If weather keeps you indoors, we have puzzles, games and books for you to enjoy.

Your Crystal River vacation home is one and a half miles to the east of the Fort Island Trail Park & Boat Ramp, four miles from Ft. Island Trail Beach, and four miles west of the Plantation Inn and Golf Resort as well as Winn-Dixie and numerous restaurants.

By water the options are endless… explore and fish pristine grass flats and backcountry mangrove forests that are full of redfish, snook and trout or the nearshore shallow waters that are home to some of the best scalloping in the state as well as cobia, gag grouper, tarpon, triple tail and black drum. When you’re not fishing you can cruise to Kings Bay, Three Sisters Spring, Hunter Springs, numerous waterfront restaurants and the Plantation Inn & Golf Resort.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be within walking distance of Crystal River Preserve State Park. Features include laundry facilities. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.

Great place for boaters

Wonderful place and hosts. We have stayed twice and both times they have been so kind and accommodating. We also have a bass boat that we launch at the public boat ramp just past the little community before we head to the house. The drive down to the house a little much with the boat but piece of cake with just the trailer. We just put in the boat first and take it out last we have packed everything up. Works great!

Fun family getaway

This was the perfect "home base" while we were in the area to visit family. Getting in and out of the front/back/garage doors using the codes was very easy (especially if you read the hosts' very thorough and helpful directions first). With two bathrooms and lots of seating we had plenty of space inside when everyone was there to spend time together. All the amenities in the home worked wonderfully and it was a comfortable and cozy stay for all of us. We used the kitchen (and the porch) pretty much every day. The kayaks were a lot of fun and the neighborhood was quiet at night. Definitely would stay here again! Thank you for everything.

Family Weekend

We pickec this house because of its location. Close to many things to do in the county. The kayaks were a must and go in easy at high tide. Manatees are a plenty in the region. We used the BBQ worked perfectly. Florida room was a nice bonus.

Great Place to Stay in Crystal River

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is furnished with everything you need. Having a dock on a deep water canal so close to the river make this place perfect for those bringing your boat. There is plenty of room to park a trailer at the house as well. The owner was easy to work with and check in/out was easy. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice place , too much $ for short stay

Stayed 1 Full day and 2 nights and spent close to $900, it was clean and cute, but not worth that much $, luckily we saw manatees going out on the kayaks making it more memorable but it wasn’t easy getting them in and out of the water , this location is more Worth it if you have a boat and or staying for a longer period of time
