This house had everything we needed.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is nice and is well stocked. Like every house in the area, it is built up with parking below so has a flight of stairs to get in. It is centrally located to good restaurants, shopping, a beach and boating excursions. We would definitely stay there again!

Relaxing stay at this lovely home!

My husband and I enjoyed a couple of wonderful days at this lovely location. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The screened in back porch was wonderful for having coffee in the morning. We highly recommend it! The location is easily accessible to local attractions like Three Sisters Springs. Do be aware that the stairs in the front and back are steep and a little hard on the knees if you have arthritis. The property manager was very nice and responsive both before and during the visit. All in all, it’s definitely a 5 out of 5!!

Excellent Crystal River getaway location

The place is exactly as described and very clean. Everything was in good working condition and we enjoyed our stay. We ran into a few weather issues heading into our trip and the property manager worked with us to accommodate our concerns. She even personally drove to the property and checked on it prior to our arrival. I definitely look forward to returning and staying there in the future.

Nice weekend

We stayed here for a long weekend after Thanksgiving. Our family of four had a blast! We brought a 14 ft John boat and our kayaks and we’re able to easily navigate the small canal. Low tide made it difficult to park our kayaks and had to walk through the mud. Home is very secluded and we loved laying in the hammock one afternoon.

2021 Scalloping Season

The property was as advertised and worked well for us. We had no issues with our 23 foot boat and everything we needed was readily available. The dock has water, power and lighting. That was helpful. Nice and peaceful neighborhood and a short ride to the boat ramp. We would certainly book it again.

Easy Check In - Great Accommodations

Easy to find, easy check-in & great accommodations. Very clean and up to date. Everything privided (except bar soap). The Springs & boat ramp are close by. Food was good at Charlie's & Margueritagrille (with nice views). Too early for scallop season, so headed up to Steinhatchee. Caught a few, but weather chased us off the bay. Will plan to return. Thank you for providing your home!

Great.....but.....

This is a great property, but unfortunately, it is not as described. We are in the midst of working with Evolve to get a refund. The property does have a dock, but it is NOT safe to use. There is NO way a 26 foot boat could make it to the dock except at high tide and for a couple of hours. The dock needs to be extended into the canal to truly advertise this amenity correctly. I confirmed with Evolve before booking that the lower portion of the dock is floating because we planned to bring jet skis with us. There is NO floating element to the dock (which I realize is not advertised.....hence why I asked and confirmed before booking). The house itself is cute and clean. The house leans toward the extra bedroom so if you have any balance issues, you'll want to look elsewhere. There was an army of ants in the kitchen near the sink and window which we fought throughout our stay. The mattresses desperately need to be reaplaced for the extra room (daybed and trundle) and the pull-out couch. Our 17 year old woke up with vertigo the first morning because of the lean of the house in addition to the lean of the trundle mattress. We ended up using the blow-up mattress (that did not have sheets that fit it). I communicated all of this with Marlene, who was responsive, but unable to do anything except call the bug company to spray for the ants outdoors. She did contact Evolve for us when I showed her the communication which confirmed the floating dock. We could have overlooked many of these smaller issues if the dock situation had worked out. We traveled to Crystal River primarily to have a house to "ski-in, ski-out" and were extremely disappointed that this wasn't the case. We live in an area where we could go to a boat ramp every day and would not have traveled over at all. I did look for another property on VRBO after the first night (we got in later than expected, at dark, so didn't realize the dock wasn't floating as confirmed, and didn't realize the unlevel nature of the house would affect our daughter as it did until she awoke the first morning). The only other place had carpet throughout the property, which we need to stay away from. The kitchen was well stocked and I was able to cook what I needed. It's been a week since my husband spoke with Reggie at Evolve. We are waiting for their response .

Perfect vacation

We're never disappointed when we rent the lighthouse property. It's always relaxing and peaceful the wildlife is always fun to watch we always enjoy our stay there, there was one little mishap with the air conditioner and I called Marlene and they were right on it. it was done within an hour after I talked to property manager and we really appreciate it. I don't think there's another place that we would ever rent except for that one.

Exactly as shown

This property is nice and clean, on a very quiet dead-end lane. It had everything we needed, even when we cooked at the house for most of the week because the restaurant reviews in Crystal River often said "staff not wearing masks" so we didn't want to go out. The Winn-Dixie is about 4 miles up the road where you turn off Hwy19, and the end of the main road is a really nice Gulf beach park with bathroom, pier, boat ramp, and parking. We had 2 fun days of golf and 3 great days kayaking, and also visited the pre-Columbian archeological site. Would stay again if in the area.
