Great little getaway
The house was perfect for our family. I loved sitting on the deck and listening to the fish jump in the river. Super quiet street - just the escape we needed - yet close to everything. We enjoyed the kayaks and the large yard. We had trouble with the front door keypad but Phil was super apologetic and took care of it immediately. We would definitely stay here again!

Another Amazing stay @ Phil's waterfront home
This was our 2nd time staying here for scalloping season and while the scallops were lacking, the accommodations weren't. Nice home, had everything we needed, the dock and the ramp worked great for our 24' center console boat, and Phil was an excellent host. See you Again next year!

Perfect location
Every year our group of friends goes to Crystal River to go scalloping and this place was perfect for us. We take our John boats up and the owner was very accommodating allowing us to park our boats and trucks on the spacious property. The private boat launch was very convenient, and made it easy to hit the water without dealing with the headache of using the public ramp. Although most of our time is spent enjoying the springs and gulf, we enjoyed the tranquility of the property. The home itself was beautiful and clean, we plan to book again.

Five Glorious Days
Two other girlfriends and myself had an amazing time in Crystal River Florida. The location is beautiful, just on the other side of a state park, and along a canal, where we had direct access to put the kayaks provided by the property owners straight into the canal for kayaking. We had short excursion to Rainbow River and swam with the manatees, and in Three Sisters Springs, as well as House Springs. We want to go back! It is such a glorious place. The VRBO was perfect for us. Spacious, clean, well stocked, and with a large kitchen. We each had a bedroom and were so happy with the house. There is a large balcony that overlooks the canal, the yard is big and green with a nice fire pit. I highly recommend this for couples, families, and small group getaways!

Peaceful Retreat
Our trip to Crystal River was spectacular, thanks to this fantastic house. It was well-stocked, and the four kayaks were a highlight. Kayaking to the river's mouth and seeing a manatee and baby alligator was unforgettable. The location was perfect, just a short drive to downtown. The house was in a quiet, safe area, ideal for relaxing. An early morning dive with Fun2Dive was an amazing part of our trip too—ask for Sarah! Highly recommend!

The property is exactly as listed - clean, airy, comfortable and scenic. The check-in was effortless and we could not have asked for a nicer place to stay! My only regret was that we were only there for one night, it would have been a great getaway for much longer. Thank you!

Scallop adventure!!
Great house for scalloping/fishing. Was able to launch and retrieve 25ft deep v center console. Dock at low tide is 2 ft of water. Bridge clearance is not an issues easily 13-15ft. House was clean and great only issue is house has almost no exterior lighting and is very dark at night.

Sweet, quiet place on the river.
Everything you need is at this river get away. Quiet yet close to good seafood restaurants, but the kitchen is stocked with all you need for dinning at home. Easy access for paddling right off the boat ramp, with undeveloped areas not far up the river. We spotted King Fisher & a yellow crown night herring. House was perfect! Thank you Phil, for all the kayaking tips! We’ll be back!
