This house was just redonee. Everything is new and beautiful. It's very spacious and close to Crystal River activities. It is decorated so nicely, even down to their choice of books. The beds are so soft and cozy. I would love to stay here again! The only problem i had was getting the door code.

Perfect place for cousin time.
Wonderful place to stay and close to every thing we needed fir the cousins trip this year. The cousins loved the waffle maker and hanging out together on the hammock. We wished we had more time to use the bikes and kayaks. It’s fantastic those too were offered for our stay.

Great for families
The house is located in a quiet neighborhood. With great hiking trails nearby. The kids played in the front and backyards. It is a deadebd street so not much traffic. The house was clean and well maintained.

Open and airy
We were pleasantly surprised to find that the listing was even prettier in real life. Very clean, smelled amazing and very open for my family of 6 plus some relatives who came by to visit. All necessary cooking items were on hand and the fenced back yard was a plus for the kids. I loved the manatees theme. Thank you Briana.

Everything was great, very clean and perfect if you have boat trailers. Parking space galore!
Briana was a joy to work with and very accommodating. My sister and 3 brothers came to FLA to celebrate my oldest brother's 80th birthday. He lives in Inverness. We were able to surprise him, and we had a wonderful weekend together. The house was very roomy and felt very nice and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again, it is close to all kinds of things to do and the rivers are amazing.

All around awesome! Highly reccommend!
We stayed for 8 days and loved every minute of it. Host was great at communicating and working with us. The ammenities were above and beyond, property was super clean, spacioius and well cared for. Great location; close to state park (2 I beleive), river, restaurants, downtown Crystal River, very quiet (down a deadend rd with only 2 other properties on rd). All around, it was great and host was great. We already are planning our next trip and will plan it around this properties availablitly. Would highly reccommend to anyone looking for an awesome place to stay in the Crystal River aread.

Scalloping weekend
I enjoyed the house, the location, and the amenities. I did not enjoy the issue that happened Friday night. I specially told the owners there would be 8 people total at the house. After saying that, I got a voicemail and a message saying the cops would be called because events weren’t permitted. No events were taking place, and I had a party of 2 show late due to family issues. After the event Friday night it felt like it was a big brother situation and we were being watched the entire time. It felt like it was no longer a private retreat and it put us all in a worrisome mindset.
