About this property

Coolest Layout In Crystal River

This spacious 5 bedroom, 2 bath house sleeps 12 (no bunkbeds, foldouts, futons or blow ups), has 2 full kitchens and a large screened porch and heated pool. Located on a double lot at the end of a canal, this property features a 20’ floating dock with 16' addition kayak launch/dock for 36' total with boat parking on both sides, (boat lift for owners use only). There is also a fish cleaning station, a beautiful deck with a view down the whole canal, and a large fenced yard. Boaters, please don't worry about the bridge - clearance is 15-20' even at high tide so you'll be just fine : )

Completely remodeled and furnished, this house has 2 fully stocked kitchens plus an 80lb ice-maker in the garage and a 3rd fridge for beverages poolside! The main kitchen opens onto a huge living room with fireplace and a 70 inch TV. A large island and open plan means that the cook never gets left out of the fun. The second kitchen is located at the back of the house, near the porch and pool. Perfect for preparing side dishes when grilling out or for late night snacks poolside.

Speaking of poolside…. Newly installed electric heat pump keeps pool temp in the 80's provided that outside air temperature is 55 or above. Our screened porch is awesome! Huge (17’ x 43’) carpeted area right beside the pool has plenty of seating, pool table, dart board, shuffleboard and an 80” TV. There is also a 40" TV that can be turned into pool area to watch while you swim. 3rd refrigerator for poolside beverages. Large lighted grill can handle enough food for large groups. Porch has vinyl panels that can be closed to keep out wind or rain if needed. We’re sure you will be spending a lot of time out here!

For fresh air and sunshine lovers, we have 6 kayaks and 6 bicycles. House is just a short walk to the Archeological Park. Fish off our seawall or just sit and watch for manatees, otters, alligators and even dolphins!

Bad weather keeping you in the house? In addition to shuffle board & the pool table on porch, we also have plenty of books, games and puzzles. There is a poker table in the 2nd kitchen for cards or games! We also have a ping pong table in the garage. With WiFi and 9 TV’s there should be enough to keep all entertained!

We know that while you like the people you are vacationing with, you might want a little private space sometimes. Hall door closes to split the house if you want. Perfect for corporate retreats, blended families, family reunions or amicable ex’s. Banish teenager to the back; get a little time away from the in-laws; Early-birds on one end and Night-owls on the other. This house will work for everyone!

If you are staying with us during Hurricane Season (May-Nov) please purchase Travel Insurance. We are in Flood Zone A and will be first on the list for Mandatory Evacuation. You will HAVE TO LEAVE and the insurance will cover the missed days of your stay.

Take advantage of our Extra Day To Play Special! If no new guests are checking in, we can change your Check-out time from 10 AM to 6 PM for just $175. Get in another fishing trip; sleep in & do lunch; or go get another peek at the manatees! We can also do it in reverse - Check-in at 11 AM instead of 4 PM. Please ask about this option when booking as we have to Block appropriately to accommodate you. Why not play a little longer while you're here!

Great for a family get-together

We had a large group for Christmas/New Years. The owner worked hard to get the house back in shape for us after a major hurricane (Helene) hit the area a few months prior and we all had a great time.

Amazing House and Location

This house is very impressive. There is something for everyone. Kids weren’t bored and even got the teenager to play darts and pool with us. Great location and neighborhood for long dog walks. Great communication with the owners. Tasty restaurants near by and you have to stop at Twistee Treats. This was one of the best houses we have stayed at!!!

Crystal River house

This house was amazing and had everything our large family group needed! Lots of space, well equipped kitchens, comfy bedrooms, and lots of seating areas for relaxing! Dont forget bikes and kayaks for some fun. Hosts were responsive to a plumbing issue and helped resolve quickly and found us temporary options until could be addressed by professional. All this afterhours and while they were out of town. Great experience and will stay again if in area.

Great place to stay!

We had no complaints about the house. There were tons of things to do. Boat parking and access were great. Only complaint was the AC wasn't working in the main part of the house during our stay. The owners did a really good job trying to remedy the situation but it was a bit warm at night. Overall we would stay again!

This place really is the coolest layout! My family of 10 went and had an amazing time. The house has plenty of room for everyone and then some. We had everything we needed as soon as we checked in. Even if it would have rained the whole trip, there is plenty at this rental to keep everyone busy and happy!! Wealthy was so easy to deal with and quick to communicate with me on any questions we had. We are so thankful to people like Wealthy & Jim to offer up such a beautiful property for others to enjoy! If you are looking for a spot to take your large family/families, this is it!!! We will definitely be back again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Amazing place

We can’t say enough about how well our stay was at this home and location. The house was clean, spacious, and perfectly set up for two families (four adults total, four kids, with plenty of extra space for more if needed) we were constantly entertained either on the River, in the backyard, or inside by the pool/in the screened in area. All amenities, toys, towels, games, bikes, etc made our stay that much easier! With the ease of booking/arriving/departing by the hosts, we will definitely be booking in the future. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us, our family spring break couldn’t have gone any better.

Family scalloping vacation

We were looking for a vacation home big enough for our two families to get away for our scalloping week vacation, and this home couldn't have been a more perfect fit for us. The dock fit both of our boats, the rooms and bathrooms were clean and had everything we needed. We stayed in one day and with the kayaks, paddle boards, pool, bikes, pool table and fishing, no one was bored. And the guys were sold when they saw the ice machine. Thank you for the great stay and quick response when needed. We will be back next year!

We had the best time in Crystal River! This house had everything we could even imagine to make a long weekend fun and memorable! The weather was pretty chilly while we were there but the pool was still plenty warm for the kids to swim! The house had so much to do that we were never bored! Communication with the owners was simple! We have rented from VRBO multiple times a year for many years, and this is one of the best equipped homes we have ever stayed in! The location is great!

This place IS the vacation!

The positive reviews for this rental are spot on. James and Wealthy are so thoughtful in how this place presents, they thought of everything to ensure that our stay was both comfortable and memorable. They provided essential items like bug spray and a yard fan for the midges, cooking equipment for just about anything, and even a life jacket for my 14-year-old dog. This was her 1st kayaking trip and it was so relaxing, quiet, and special - a truly unforgettable experience I'll treasure forever. The family ages ranged from 11-73 and we were never bored during our stay thanks to the available kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, and board games. This place is just really well thought out. Additionally, the nearby archeological park was a peaceful walk and interesting to explore. We spent some time exploring Crystal River, but honestly the most special moments were had right there at this rental spot.
