Peaceful Waterfront Home on Large Open Canal, Dog Friendly!
Crystal River is the place to be if you love nature, fishing, scalloping, boating, manatees and a small town vibe. This quaint home is right on the water just off of King's Bay. You'll love the wildlife! See manatees as they swim around enjoying the big secluded canal right behind the house and dolphins churning up the water as they fish. Enter the water right from the steps in the backyard to kayak or for a refreshing swim. Itâs truly a kayakerâs paradise! The protected area across the water makes for a peaceful and quiet stay. You can keep your shallow water boat at the small floating dock or use the various boat ramps close by to launch a bigger boat. The canal leads straight out to King's Bay and out to the Gulf for great fishing and scalloping. Fort Island Gulf beach and fishing pier is just 8 miles down the road as well. The house has a fully equipped kitchen, board games, kayaks, bicycles, comfy beds and fun, artsy decor.
Hallie was AMAZING. The house was perfect, so clean and so cute and the water was RIGHT THERE and so were the manatees! We had an amazing time, thank you Hallie for giving us the perfect place to celebrate as a family!
Beautiful property, excellent location, great communication from the host and even a surprise birthday cake upon arrival. When we come back weâll check this vrboâs availability first! Scalloping was fantastic, too. Thank you, for all the hospitality!
We loved this place! It was perfect for our family! The house was cleaned and had some of the essentials we forgot for a longer stay. Communication was amazing and very quick! Thank you so much!
This is a wonderful property that allowed for friends and family to gather and swim, fish, float on rafts, kayak and paddle board. It's in a quiet and friendly neighborhood close to shopping, restaurants and downtown. The house was large and functional for multiple activities. We were able to cook in the kitchen and grill outside. The house itself had everything we needed and was very clean. Would definitely like to return sometime! The hostess was friendly and helpful!
What a beautiful home and location, clean and very well maintained. Stepping out the back door and getting the kayaks right on the water was amazing to be able to paddle right into Kings Bay where we had a manatee come right up to our kayak. The location for the house provides easy access to so many different springs. Restaurants and a cute downtown area. We will definitely book this home again when we go back.
We love staying at this house. Easy to paddle from and see the manatee right out the back door. Quick trip to town for dinner as well. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed the property located right on the river. Great location to head for scalloping and a nice paddle to Three Sisters Springs park. We docked our 18 foot flats boat right out side, without a problem. In the evening we walked our dog around the pet friendly neighborhood. The house was clean, cute and had a nice size garage to store gear.
This was a quaint, comfortable house on a canal right off the main waterway. The pictures are accurate and the host was very responsive. It is a lovely, clean, comfortable house.
Just spent the weekend here on a BFF girls trip and lived our stay so much. The house is on a very quiet street and calm canal. It was lovely to drink our coffee outside on the patio each morning and watch the wildlife in the river. Beautiful place.
So much wildlife to see right in the backyard. We even watched dolphins feeding on mullet in the morning. A variety of birds can be seen daily. We swam right out back, kayaked and fished. Caught a bunch of catfish using white bread as bait! The house was nice and had everything we needed.
Would recommend this place for sure.
Thanks so much for sharing your home!
Our 2nd time at this house and it is as peaceful and relaxing as we remembered. Highly recommend if you love nature and a get away from it all. (But still close to town).
