Fantastic getaway!
The property is very nice. Easy to find, easy to keep clean. The nice screened in porch is great for rainy days or when it’s too hot to be outside. The common dock is just a short walk from the house and we were able to watch the manatees there. The beds were very comfortable and the house was furnished very comfortably. When we had questions the owners got back to us very quickly. Great location close to town and all the people we met on our walks were very friendly. Planning on coming back next week. Thanks for sharing your home with us. Nancy and Steve

Location, location, location!
My husband and I were here for just over a month. This house is within minutes (literally 5 minutes) from Pete's Pier, Three Sisters Springs, Plantation Golf Course, it was all right there! Beautiful quiet neighborhood. The house was very well equipped, comfortable, and we had everything we needed. We had a couple of snafu's, but the Burke was right on it! Would definitely return. Thanks for a great stay!

Great little getaway gem
This property is just as described by the owners, a cozy cottage close to the bay. It was well equipped with everything needed to make our stay pleasant, plus the bonus of the 4 included kayaks which made our trips out on the bay to view the manatees, fish and other wildlife very enjoyable. It is located in a quiet neighborhood not too far from anything like grocery stores and restaurants. The owners were very easy to communicate with and responded promptly to all of our questions.

Great home, Great location, Great host!!
This home is in an excellent location if you want to be near all of the Crytstal River Action. You can literally walk to the neighborhood Dock with your kayak or paddleboard and be in the water in 5 minutes! Or you can just hang out on the Dock and enjoy the beautiful view with water and wildlife all around you. We saw several manatees during our stay (Momma and her 2 babies several times) and my husband was kayaking one day in Kings Bay and was surrounded by manatees! As for shopping and restaurants, they are literally all within a few miles or less. Burke is an excellent host and made sure we knew we could call him for anything! Everything we needed during our 5-week stay was in the home, including Kayaks and bikes! We highly recommend this home to anyone coming to Crystal River that wants to be in the heart of it all and enjoy Crystal River and the area to the fullest! Thank you Burke!!!!

Nice place to stay
This is a clean, cute house, in a really safe neighborhood We got to know the neighbors and they are all so nice and welcoming.. The house is well stocked with most everything you need. The kayaks are a definite plus for exploring the beautiful Crystal River. There are so many manatees in the cove. Burke, the owner was quick to respond and help you if you have a problem. He's a really nice guy. The only downside to this property is the yard. It was in dire need of major upkeep. We love to sit outside (why we travel South for the winter), and the deck was not fit to sit on. There was outdoor furniture on the deck, with a fire pit, but we were unable to enjoy it. This was due to the mold all over the furniture, and the tall weeds growing through the slats in the deck. The landscape was full of weeds and not maintained. We enjoyed the house and the neighborhood and would stay here again (but only after talking to the owner about the state of the outdoor property). That is the reason for the 4 star rating.

Swimming with manatee’s
We had a good time while we stayed here. Kayaks were available onsite. We launched from other places besides the neighborhood dock. House was as described. Thanks!
