We were very surprised to be so close to Crystal River(where you can rent kayaks, etc.) and to very nice restaurants and shops. The rooms were beautiful, recently updated. We were greeted by the freindly staff and then later was brought homemade pastries, another nice surprise. Breakfast was included, simple but very nice. We will recommend this place to our friends and we'll be back!

Great place!
Total gem in Crystal River! Very conveniently located to local to do's and food establishments. Not for those who are looking for gyms and pools.... But if it is a clean and modern room you're looking for then look no further!

First off, this property is newly remodled and it's gorgeous. Jodi was the person who checked us in and she even walked us to our room and showed us the amenities offered and the lounges we could get into. Its not a big place, but it was still nice to be shown. They leave freshly baked (in house) pastries too for each room. They were delicious! The rooms are VERY clean and decorated super cute. The only downside to the entire thing is the shower/toilet area is very small, but was manageable.

Quaint, charming place to stay.
This retreat is perfectly located to visit the manatees. The surrounding area is charming. And the retreat is being renovated/updated. The room we stayed in was completely redone & charming. It was a bit odd that the only sink was in the main area, not in the bathroom, however, it was nicely done. There is no breakfast or coffee available so keep this in mind when you stay here. Overall, would recommend.

The Retreat at Crystal River is extraordinary! It is an unusually beautiful place with gorgeous landscaping, huge live oak trees, many pots of flowers, and spotlessly clean on the outside and inside facilities. The rooms are lovely, with unusual steel sinks in the bedroom area and fabulous bathrooms including high tech showers with six different water options. The breakfast included yogurt, different cereals, and breads but there was a coffee machine which made individual cups of coffee - quite good. The staff was very accommodating and provided extra amenities such as shampoo and even provided beach towels! The rooms were cleaned each morning while we were out and excellent French pastries were provided in the late afternoon to chairs outside the rooms. Three of the rooms had individual small patios which I did not stay in but were lovely. There were several outdoor tables and inside tables provided to enjoy the breakfast provisions. A large room with seating and microwave was an additional feature that could be enjoyed. The location is absolutely ideal, near a beach and a dock area, right down the street from restaurants and a business to sign up to swim or see the manatees, and a terrific restaurant, the Crab Plant. I am definitely returning here with family and or friends. The owner, Joel, is a talented artist and carpenter who was fascinating and friendly as was his daughter.

Clean, stylish, updated, and conveniently located close to nearby attractions and restaurants. Check-in and check-out were very smooth. Room was comfortable. Nice touches include stylish rooms, coffee and tea available around the clock, safe storage for bikes/kayaks/SUPs, delicious complimentary pastries baked on site every evening. Would stay here again. Do note that check-in may not be available late at night so check with property if arriving after 9 pm.
