PLEASE READ OUR WONDERFUL REVIEWS FROM PAST GUESTS.
This home was beautiful with a great location and plenty of room for our Family gathering. It had everything you could need and the view and surroundings were very peaceful. One of the best of the many I have stayed at through the years.
Everything about this house worked great for Nana and Papa with the kids and grandkids. 10 of us had a wonderful week. The layout of the house was great. Plenty to do. Kitchen was stocked with everything one would need. Pool was great for the kiddos. Close the the beach and town. On a quiet street. If we decide to come back to the area, will definitely get this place again.
This house was perfect for our high school girlfriends get together. Great location for all of us. House was pristine on arrival. Kitchen fully equipped with any appliance you need. Host Patty was wonderful to do business with.
Home was beautiful. Host was a great communicator. Lots of lovely touches in the home including aromatherapy sleep sprays on the bedside tables and also in the bathrooms for reducing odors. Lots of space for our family of nine! Enjoyed the game room, the pool, and loved having the kayaks!
Our family had a great stay here in Crystal River. The house was perfect for our large family. The layout works really well for a large group. It was very clean and Patty did a great job. We will be back!!
Huge house with room for everyone to gather or have quiet time in their own rooms. Kayaks, ping pong, and swimming pool were great for outdoor activities. Saw some manatees on a guided boat tour and on our own in kayaks!
The place is well laid out for extended family. Like having two houses in one. Plenty of open space to gather but still plenty of places to get some alone time.
We had an awesome time at the house. We celebrated my momâs 90th birthday there and if we are ever visiting the area again we would not think twice about staying here again. We kayaked every day we were there. The pool was outstanding heated and clean. The host was accommodating and answered any questions we had. Thank you
This house was the perfect setup for two families offering a lot of room and privacy for all. There was everything you could possibly need for your stay and the rooms were very comfortable and the decor was beautiful. The game room was great for family fun and the pool was fantastic! Scenic and relaxing and yet also close to stores and great restaurants. The Host was quick to answer any questions we had. We will make this our choice again for our yearly family get together. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
The house was very nice and well suited for a large group. There were 5 couples for a family event and it was very spacious with a good floor plan allowing for private spaces. The host was awesome!
The house was exactly what we were looking for. It was our 58th Coast Guard Friends reunion. The house had everything thing anyone could want. Pool, dock to sit and watch wildlife, foosball, corn hole, TV for those important football and baseball games. Located minutes from all the attractions we were interested in. Could not have asked for a better location, area, house!
Perfect for our family. Very clean. Easy access to the river with dockage, pool was nice to relax in after being on the water all day. Kitchen is large and huge pantry which was great. We had a toddler and the house had a high chair, packnplay and toys and the yard is fenced on the waterside which was an added plus. Would definitely stay here again!
