The gorgeous, L shaped heated pool overlooks the wide deep water canal. Bring your boat or you can launch our kayaks, canoe or SUP paddle boards right from the floating dock.

Upon walking in to the open living dining area you will be drawn to the large sliding doors leading you out to the beautiful pool and water. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of cookware & dishes for family meals. With all stainless steel appliance you'll feel right at home.

This home is located on a deep canal with Gulf access. VERY large boats access this canal easily. There is one bridge going out to the Gulf but it is 40 feet high so NO height restrictions. The house is about 5 miles from the scalloping grounds & approximately 5-10 minutes drive from King’s Bay, 3 sisters springs, and hunter springs and 35 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico by boat (its a NO WAKE ZONE in the River, please be careful with manatees!!!). Fort Island Beach is also very close by, and we highly recommend seeing a sunset there! Great pics for your social media!
If you love fishing/scalloping, this is the place to be! Crystal River has the best Scalloping grounds in the US., the best action is usually in 4-6 feet of water around Gomez Rocks at Latitude 2829.8, Longitude 8243.7.
