Overall the home is very warm and welcoming. It sits at the end of a DIRT street, and you may have to avoid some livestock on the way in. But aside, the neighborhood, the house is extremely clean. and the beds are super comfy. The only real complaint I would have is that the water heater needs to be turned down, nothing like accidently burning yourself trying to wash your hands.

Scalloping Base Camp
Close to Crystal River, and all of the scalloping spots. The neighborhood was definitely downscale, but the accommodations were clean. The host is extremely friendly and efficient.

Great place to stay
Nice size house with nice floor plan for our group. Nice big kitchen for all of us. The Florida room in the back was great for sitting out and playing cards. We tried to have a fire in the firepit but the wood we bought wouldn’t light so our dreams of s’mores went out the window but otherwise, it was a wonderful stay. Nice restaurants close by and a Publix was just a minute away, highly recommend as a great and reasonable location if you are going to see the manatee.

Relaxing
Lots of room for a family getaway. The yard and 4-season room was perfect for chilling out and game playing-large! So close to Publix and a good Mexican restaurant. If you’re visiting Crystal River to go exploring and watching Manatees this is the place. Not overpriced, worth the money!

House of Shells
The house is on a dead end dirt street the very last house. I was a little concerned about the neighbors because of the condition of their rental houses but they are all quiet and no issues. I loved the fenced in yard because we brought our small dog. She travels with us. The yard needed to be mowed though. We were there for a week and it seemed nice to be able to cook our meals instead of eating out if we stayed in a hotel which are hard to find pet friendly with green space.

Staycation gone right!
I am a director of nursing so I like organization and efficiency. This property was clean, bedrooms were comfortable and everything was functional, in terms of items for day to day use. My stay went smoothly and I enjoyed my time there! Would definitely book again upon my return to Crystal River.
