The property was beautiful! It was far away from others but still close to everything. The house was beautiful. We loved the pool and the hot tub. We are hoping to stay there again next summer!
We loved everything about the property Location was awesome I would like to mentioned that there is a beautiful beach just 14 miles away that i rode my bike to with my grandson, it is the gulf of mexico/America.We would stay here again
Great house! So clean and quaint. Attention to detail was wonderful. Incredibly full kitchen, plenty of towels, plates, soap, etc. Very close to the docks. Great screened porch and quiet atmosphere. Fans work great and so does the air con! Hostess was super helpful and kind. Weâll be returning!
Family trip to enjoy fun in the sun, including downtime at the house as well as outings to hike, see manatees, visit beaches and more. Great for up to three couples or a family trip. Clean, spacious place with updated amenities but an âold Floridaâ feel. We highly recommend it!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this super comfortable home. The grounds are just beautiful. The hot tub and pool inside the screened enclosure were my favorite aspects of this home away from home.
We are Floridians, but this was our first time in Crystal River. We were looking for a place to get away, disconnect from the hustle and bustle. This property accomplished that. Its so peaceful being in the middle of 5 acres. You hear frogs and crickets more than anything else. The waterfall on the pond is awesome to listen to in the morning as you're taking in the quiet start to the day on the patio. The home is spacious and well appointed. Its the best of both worlds - old Florida with all the modern conveinences you need. Maria, the property manager, was fantastic! She was easy to communicate with and made sure we had whatever we needed. Check-in and check-out was super easy.Definitely keeping this location on our list of "must visit again" places. We loved the home and the area. Wonderful weekend getaway!!
Absolutely beautiful property, inside and out. Got a quick tour as we arrived. Kids loved the pool and hot tub. I loved the outside couch relaxing with a coffee listening to the waterfall.
I recently booked this property for a work trip, and we had a great experience from start to finish. Maria was so helpful and welcoming, she even had baked treats for us when we arrived. The property is one of the more unique ones I have stayed at, and was a great home base to come back to every night. We will be staying here if we are back in the area in the future!
We spent 3 days here and its was amazing. The place is beautiful and you are away from all the noise and craziness of the city. Maria is the caretaker and lives inside but you never see her after checking in. We will definitely come back.
We loved our stay! Our girls loved fishing in the pond as well as swimming in the pool and hot tub! The property was so cool and we literally felt like we were away from everything. The kitchen was well stocked! We enjoyed the springs nearby and grilling out our fresh catch from our fishing trip. Would return if we are ever back in the area. Maria was also super helpful and always available if we needed her.
Had a wonderful stay here with peaceful, quiet and beautiful surroundings. Maria was so helpful and informative and a pleasure to talk with. Would definitely revisit this property.
Beautiful place on a large lot. No like the "cookie cutter " houses we usually rent that are all the same. This one was unique. Less than 10 minutes to a beautiful beach. Maria the host was extremely helpful, there when we arrived and when we needed something she was there in minutes !!
From the start, this property was everything we could have hoped for. Quiet, private (even with property manager on location). Maria was helpful and responded quickly to messages. Owners were also super responsive. House was well stocked and clean. We cannot wait to go back! Already looking at our calendar!
Just as wonderful as the first time! We loved every bit of our stay. One suggestion would be to stock some card and board games. We had to run back out to purchase our own set. Also, please make sure you bring bug spray. Thereâs enough mosquitos to carry you away outside the screened area. Canât wait to return!
This quirky, delightful house was an ideal "home base" for our group of 3 couples. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by Maria, who lives on-site (in a different house), and she gave us a tour of the space and pointed out all the amenities (including balloons, as two of us were celebrating birthdays!). The next day, after a before-dawn snorkeling tour with the resident manatees, we warmed up in the hot tub, then spent a lazy, wonderful day playing cards on the lanai, napping on the porch, and watching wildlife in the garden and pond. We'd definitely like to come back for a longer stay!! Highly recommend!
Despite being located a bit off the beaten path, we decided to spend our latest wedding anniversary at the Hideaway, and we are so glad we did! The grounds are beautiful, the house incredibly well appointed (including DirectTV in all rooms), comfortable and roomy and the kitchen big enough to prepare food for a large dinner party. But our favorite part of the property was the screened in patio area, which includes a pool, hot tub and front porch. Thanks to the spacious, soothing sauna, the refreshingly cool pool and the relaxing porch (perfect for midday naps with no bugs!), we barely left the place all weekend! Maria was incredibly helpful and attentive, always around if you needed her but never once intruding on our solitary getaway. Not only will we recommend the Hideaway to everyone we know, weâre already planning to book our return trip next year!
The home was gorgeous and well appointed. The trees, pond, and plants around the property made it feel like a tropical paradise. The waterfall sealed the deal. The pool was so nice and cold and the hot tub was perfect for relaxing.
Lovely and unique property. Best of old Florida. We loved the porch looking out on the pond and waterfall for our morning coffee. Very comfortable beds and furniture. High end kitchen gear - obviously not furnished as a rental. Close to many of Floridas natural clear springs. I would happily return and can recommend without reservation.
We are a blend of Florida pioneer and Tennessee hillbilly! David is a fifth generation Floridian, whose ancestors were true Florida pioneers in the early 1800's, rooted in citrus, cattle and pineapple plantations. Joy's family history began in the hills of East Tennessee. Together we have sought to provide unique properties that evoke these rich heritages for travelers who want to step away from busy lives and decompress in a simple, quiet paradise. In addition to this "Old Florida" home, we have gorgeous place in the Tennessee hills. Check out the Dixie Lee Bed & Barn!
This property is simply enchanting! From sitting on the screened-in porch listening to the lull of the waterfall into the lovely spring fed pond, to snuggling in front of a cozy fireplace or soaking in the hot tub under the moss-draped oak trees and vast starry sky, there's simply nothing else like it!
We found this property one night on the internet and were amazed at its beauty. We immediately drove across the state the next day, made a cash offer and bought it. We love it so much we want to share it with others who have an appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds this property. The sense of well being it gives our guests makes us happy to share it.
