Girls Trip to Swim with the Manatees

We had an amazing time in Crystal River! The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. There was a lovely screened in porch just perfect for morning coffee and dock area where we could see crabs and fish. Very close to great restaurants and our tour guides for snorkeling with manatees. Simply wonderful!

Manatee Point

Manatee Point is the perfect location if you want to experience “Old Florida”. We enjoyed the many state parks and springs in the area. Lots to do if you love the outdoors. My family enjoyed kayaking right from our own dock and my grandkids were thrilled to see their first manatee from their kayak. Our host, Tina, thought of every little detail to make our stay comfortable and convenient. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Thanksgiving getaway !

The property was exactly as listed, we use Vrbo 6 to 7 times a year for the past 5 years and this one was by far the best stocked, any pot and pan, tissue, blankets down to q-tips, ziplock bags and tinfoil. Tina was always available and very quick to respond. We’ll definitely be returning !

Great property!

We loved this house! It was clean and bright, tastefully decorated and comfortable furniture too! The lanai was our favorite place to relax after a day of exploring the trails and parks nearby. We did a boat tour of the river and springs, and visited Homassa Springs Park to see the manatees. We were sad to leave, and look forward to coming back! The only glitch, and it was a minor one, was the discovery of a few bugs in the house. Otherwise, it was perfect!

Perfect location for local activities

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had every amenity we needed plus more. The location was quiet and easily accessible. We used the bikes as often as the weather allowed and walked the trails at Crystal River Preserve State Park many times. This was our first time using VRBO and appreciated the positive experience. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice location and neighborhood. House was well stocked and very clean. The host answered questions quickly. The sun room was my favorite spot. Fishing right there in the canal, but mostly catfish. Trip cut short by hurricane Helene.

Lovely house and property

Myself and 3 girlfriends came to this area to paddle/kayak. We loved our stay at this beautiful home. Property was just as described and Tina was a wonderful host/manager. Great communication and helpful with all aspects of checking in/out. The screened porch with comfy chairs overlooking the canal was the highlight for me!!! Would definitely stay here again!

Great stay and awesome host

The property is as advertised. VERY CLEAN and stocked with anything you might think you need. The host, Tina, was extremely responsive and accomodating. We arrived on Christmas Day, so grocery stores and delivery services weren't open. She offered to receive a delivery at the house the afternoon before arrival, which was a huge help! There was also a welcome gift of snacks and sweets waiting for us when we arrived. Great location, less than a 10 min drive of all our planned activities. We loved wandering around the cute little downtown Crystal River area and ate at some really fabulous restaurants. We loved our visit and would definitely consider staying here again if we ever come back!
