Remodeled and Ready for Guests. Amazing Central Location! Pool-Dock-Kayaks-Pets

CASA DEL SOL OUR HOME IN THE SUN

Are you shopping for the perfect location for your family's vacation, girls weekend, scalloping or fishing trip? If so, look no further! With a heated pool, kayaks, four tastefully staged bedrooms, two full baths, and a chef's dream kitchen complete with high-end appliances and tons of workspace, Casa Del Sol checks all the boxes. If your idea of a dream vacation is kicking back and relaxing by the pool, playing with the Manatees, morning strolls along the river, kayaking or limiting out on Red Fish and Scallops, then your quest is over. Casa Del Sol isn't just another vacation rental, it's our personal vacation home, and we feel privileged to share it with our guests.

Located just below King's Bay on a deep-water lagoon, Casa Del Sol is in one of the few neighborhoods in Crystal River that legally allows short term vacation rentals. Our upscale neighborhood consists of several small islands just off the main river. For kayakers, we are a 30-minute paddle to Three Sister's or Hunter Springs. Don’t have a kayak. No worries, we provide two kayaks for your use and there are rental shops within a few miles of the home. The islands around our home are a kayaker's dream where it is common to encounter dolphin, sea turtles and manatees. Our area is quiet and peaceful unlike the touristy Spring area. For boaters and fishermen, our home is just five houses off the main channel on a deep-water lagoon. We are below the "No Wake Zones" found on Kings Bay - without bridges, tide concerns or long boring canal rides to the main channel or gulf. There's a 24' floating boat dock that will accommodate two small boats or one large. We also have a fish cleaning station with lights, electricity and running water. There are two boat launches within five minutes of the house. By car, we are located just off Fort Island Trail half-way between Crystal River and Fort Island Trail Beach.

In 2025, our home received an extensive remodel after Hurricane Helene. We went for a fun, upbeat Boho Chic vibe with mermaid and octopus bedrooms, and a great bar area all in tropical shades of crimson and teal. The home is filled with artwork from the Crystal River area creating a unique perspective on coastal living. The home boasts four full bedrooms (3 King Beds and a Queen) and two custom designed bathrooms. The master bath has a large, beautifully appointed, walk-in shower, double sinks and separate water closet.

We put careful consideration into every element of our home. We designed, stocked and furnished the home with our guests in mind. From first-aid kits to beach towels, we have tried to think of everything you might need, and we don't skimp on quantity or quality. Our maintenance team and cleaning staff are fantastic. If something breaks, we fix it, and the home is spotless. We have high standards, and we believe in treating our guests as we would want to be treated on our vacation. We are honest, fair and happy to be in a position to share the homes that we have been blessed with. So, take a moment, look at the pictures and check-out Casa Del Sol.

The home has Wi-Fi and Streaming ROKU TV.

At Casa Del Sol you can fish and watch manatees from the private boat dock. If you enjoy fishing, trout, snapper, cobia and redfish are abundant in the area. Professional guides are available for fishing excursions. Kayakers can pack a snack, board the kayaks - provided with your rental - and head for Three Sister's Spring - for a day of sight-seeing and Manatee watching. Manatees frequent our cove and can be seen from the dock along with other area wildlife. At the end of the day relax by the pool. Whatever you decide to do during your stay, you and your family are sure to go home with lifelong memories from your stay at Casa Del Sol - our home in the sun!

The home was beautifully decorated and so clean! The layout of 2BR on each end was perfect and plenty of room in between. The updated kitchen was a dream and well equipped-we loved the dishes :)The kids loved the pool and we all spent a lot of time fishing on the dock and enjoying the view. What a great family vacation.!! The owner responded almost immediately with any small concerns that we had.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Del Sol! The house is set up well for our group of 6. The house was very clean, pool was spotless and the floating dock was perfect for our larger 30ft center console. The kitchen was outfitted with all cookware and utensils needed. The host contacted me while on my way to the residence to give me all information needed for our stay.We couldn't have been happier with the residence and the host. If you have a boat you're bringing we highly suggest Casa Del Sol. We've made this trip for scalloping 3 years now and not having to launch the boat every boat day was a major plus. The residence is at the very back of a small inlet which stays very calm and plenty far enough away from boat wakes.We talked to multiple neighbors who we encountered walking the neighborhood and all were very nice.Thank you for helping make our vacation even better!

Every year, we take a family vacation over Memorial Day weekend in CR, this was our first time staying in this home. It offered a lovely setting alongside beautiful scenery.This vacation felt well-deserved after the kids had a great year at school and provided us with valuable time to relax and bond as a family. We look forward to creating many more memories during future stays.

Great stay in Crystal River

Cosa Del Sol is a great house in a quiet neighborhood. The house was well equipt. Teri was quick to answer any questions or concerns. We paddled to Three Sister's Springs and saw several manatees. We also had some manatees around our dock a few days. The grandkids enjoyed the playground at Kings Bay Park, and Fort Island Beach. We also explored some nearby hiking trails.

Wonderful property

We are a family of 4, kids 10 & 12 who stayed at the house over spring break. I was so impressed with the house. Everything you can imagine was available. Tons of bath towels, beach towels, kitchen items, toilet paper, paper towel, coffee, laundry detergent, etc. Great neighborhood & location! We used the kayaks to find manatee, fished off the dock & caught lots of catfish, swam & used the hot tub. My husband had to work one of the days, Wi-Fi was excellent & so was cell service. House was very clean upon arrival. We also spent a day at Busch Gardens & another on a fishing charter. So much fun! My only “con” is the squeaky twin beds off the master. My kids slept in there & every time they moved the squeaky beds would wake me up. In hind sight, I should have just moved them to one of the other bedrooms! Highly recommend this house!

Casa del Sol - Perfect home, perfect location, perfect vacation!

Casa del Sol was the perfect home, in the perfect location, for my husband and I to enjoy three weeks of bliss in Crystal River! The neighborhood was very quiet and incredibly beautiful! The home had every amenity available one could ever need! While it was too cool to take a dip in the pool, we thoroughly enjoyed the screened in lanai, hot tub, boat dock, gas grill and kayaks. If we could rate this home 10 stars, we would! The owners were absolutely amazing, responding almost immediately to our every question! When the refrigerator stopped working, they made another refrigerator available to us within the hour and arranged to have a brand new refrigerator delivered and installed the very next day! A miraculous feat to accomplish, we don’t know how owner Teri managed to pull that one off! Swimming with the manatees was truly the highlight of our trip! We loved it so much, we went three times. We highly recommend taking a semi-private or private tour to swim with those magnificent creatures. Our favorite company was Fun2Dive. There are so many things to do in the Crystal River area. We hiked, biked, kayaked, bird-watched, took an airboat ride and enjoyed watching the sunset at the Fort Island Trail Beach. There are so many wonderful parks and trails in the area, get outside and enjoy them all. Be sure to visit Three Sisters Springs and Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. For day trips, Busch Gardens and the Tampa Zoo were well worth the trips. If you enjoy fishing, we highly recommend a trip to the quaint fishing village of Cedar Key. We ate our weight in seafood during our vacation. Some of our favorites were Seafood Sellers, The Plant (loved their red royal shrimp and key lime pie), and The Freezer (hole in the wall place but incredible clam chowder and boiled shrimp). Thank you for sharing Casa del Sol with us! It was our best VRBO experience to date and we have stayed in a lot of different homes the past few years!

Beautiful house, great location for an extended family Thanksgiving

Casa del Sol is a lovely house situated directly on the water in a dog-friendly neighborhood, perfect for a large group that does not mind sharing bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked for meals in, including Thanksgiving (which we purchased pre-cooked from Publix), and the local restaurants we sampled were very good. We used the kayaks one day and rented a pontoon boat on another and drove it right up to the dock before heading out on the river for fishing, where we caught snapper and snook - our son also fished directly from the dock for hours, catching a bunch of catfish. We saw many manatees and a large variety of birds, both in the river and at Three Sisters Springs. I would not hesitate to visit again!
