Family Manatee Vaca
There were 6 of us that made it out of 11. We could have easily and comfortably slept all 11. The convenience to get on the water daily was superb! We saw 5 manatees playing in the canal for over an hour, and we were even visited by 3 bald eagles at one time! Game room was an added bonus for the teens. We had a great time sitting on the screened porch watching the rain. Super spacious and 3 bathrooms made for great privacy for all. Loved this home!!

The house was simply amazing. There was enough room for everyone and then some if needed. We loved the 2 master suites with the on suites. The location was perfect.

Excellent location
House is located on a quiet dead end street. House is very spacious and clean. It is equipped with everything you need so no worries about forgetting anything. It has multiple boat slips. I have a 26’ fishing boat and had no issues getting in and out. With all of that said the best part was how accommodating and helpful the owners were. You won’t regret renting this house.

Boat slip was the reason
Great spacious house. The ping pong table and ice machine were great additions. Having a place to park the boat trailer was great! The no-seeums were bad in the evenings and the tidal swing made it difficult to use the boat slip. Outside of those two things which the host can’t control, everything was Awesome!

Excellent summer family weekend
House is extremely clean and prepared with everything you need for a fun family vacation. Very functional layout. The owners have thought of everything and are very easy to communicate with. House is directly across from Plantation Inn on a narrow canal. The kayaks and boat slip are very convenient. House is pet friendly but would never know it! All around excellent.

Fantastic location with everything you need!
This house is located very conveniently near the plantation inn in the heart of Crystal River. The house has a wonderful open floor plan which makes it very spacious. The large dinning room table allowed for nice family meals and cards games. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and serve family meals. The ping pong table was a big hit as well. The dock has easy access to the canal and we had no problem docking or accessing the canal with our 25 foot boat. Check in was a breeze. Dani is a great host!

Our family, and it’s a large one with lots of bonus siblings, does a yearly trip. Everyone said hands down this was the best house! With the boat docks right out back, the Plantation around the corner and Winn Dixie up the street it was amazing! We had everything we needed right at our fingertips! The few times I had to reach out Dani was amazing and super helpful! All in all a wonderful family vacation!

We launched our kayaks during the day and hung out on the large patio at night. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking. Great location!

Extremely delightful!
Our annual family vacation was just delightful thanks to the last minute availability of this property in Crystal River. This was our 2nd visit to Crystal River and it was equally outstanding as the first time last Christmas! The pictures are accurately portray the space, our family of 8 adults and 2 teenagers had plenty of room. The comfortable furnishings, well appointed kitchen, plethora of games, kayaks, ping pong table, cornhole boards and extra large screened in porch area made this an awesome place to hang out and enjoy one another's company. The separated side fenced in yard was a bonus and allowed our dogs to enjoy being outside with us without us having to worry abut them ending up in the river! We are looking forward to returning to the area next year and will definitely reach out to Dani Scott and her amazing team to book a future stay. PS We would like to say a HUGE thank you to the housekeeping team for finding my brother's treasured pictures that he accidentally left behind. XOXO!!!
