The house is gorgeous . Very spacious and well designed for large groups. Outside and I side places for gathering. We were very comfortable. And happy. Thank yiu
House was in excellent condition and very clean.
Excellent location very quite and piece full . Right on river with nice dock and boat hookup. Would highly recommend
And if we go back to area would rent again. House is extremely large . 2 living rooms and layer out very well. Also kitchen is huge.
Thanks
Such a great property! Plenty of room for large family gathering. Great kitchen with all you need to make meals. We played cards, built puzzles and the kids enjoyed water time in the back yard. Did not have a boat to ride the water but the dock was nice, and the mullet jumping was entertaining. Did see a gator too. The rooms were comfy and the bathrooms plenty. This would be a great place to enjoy in cooler weather and use the fire pit outback. Loved the porches too. Was a wonderful time for all of us.
This place was huge and great for a big family. Everyone had a place in this house.

Lots of alligators
We booked this house for scalloping. It is about 10 mile North of the scalloping grounds however it is a very rough ride. I would not recommend staying here for scalloping. The water also had lots of large alligators that would come up to the dock. Would suggest watching kids closely if they are down there. I would suspect people have been feeding them as they come right up to the dock. The house was beautiful and had lots of space. There are lots of cameras on the property and the host was quick to message about stuff. I didn’t think they were allowed to watch you on camera. I found that part to be strange.
Been searching for the right place to scallop and fish Crystal River for years. Went against my rule of not renting anything without reviews and boy am I glad I did. This place is BEAUTIFUL and BRAND NEW! From a boating standpoint it is perfect. The floating dock is huge and there is room for a bunch of boats. Water, electricity and a fish cleaning station on the dock. Bait freezer in carport. Water appears to be fresh water at the dock.
The house and dock are about ¼ mile off the barge canal and the boat ramp is right down the road, plenty of parking. No Manatee zones either so much quicker getting out to open water. Checks all my boxes as far as fishing.
Inside is huge and is all new as well. My Wife was sold on the kitchen with the professional gas range and island. Weber grill and Blackstone griddle outside on porch with nice outdoor furniture.
It was just the two of us for this first trip but this place can hold a bunch of people. TVs everywhere with satellite and streaming. Downstairs Master and bathroom are huge and gorgeous. We didn’t hardly even go upstairs but the three bedrooms and bathroom are very nice and there is a deck across the entire back of the house that is accessible from every bedroom upstairs. Nice set of teak loungers out there to relax on.
Bunch of parking, garaged and otherwise, and room for boat trailers. At the end of a quiet culdesac on a wooded private lot. Rear of house is wrapped with porches overlooking the water
