Had so much fun here!

My family went down for three nights with the express purpose of kayaking and swimming with the manatees. This house checked all the boxes since the kayaks were included. Yes you do have to walk the kayaks down the street to put in at the dock but once in the water, it only took about 10 minutes of paddling to get to a manatee viewing area at an island. We had the most amazing experience there! It was only my family of four and a manatee we nicknamed Jeremiah. He popped up from the bottom about a foot away from my right flank! It scared me at first but after giving him some space, he hung out with us for about 20 minutes before Going back to the bottom. If you’re wanting to kayak to Three sisters springs, it’s about 30-40ish minutes of casual paddling. This area is beautiful and totally worth the trip. RENT WETSUITS! We found them for about 20 a day per person and they were worth it. 72 in the springs sounds nice but during manatee season, the air temps are cool. While we were there it was 45-70 every day. The house has everything you need to stay there comfortably for a few days- sample shampoo/conditioner, laundry pods, extra paper towels and TP, even some niceties such as popcorn and hot chocolate. It was nice being able to bring our dogs with us and not board them. No animals are allowed in the furniture so we brought our kennel with us . A determined dog could def escape the fence on some areas so we always supervised them outdoors. This house is still a great place!

Family Fun

We really enjoyed our stay. We took full advantage of the paddle boards and kayaks and were able to get on the water multiple times to see the manatees. The house was as described and was a great setup for our family including our 2 year old and grandma.

Blue Bungalow

A cute blue and yellow bungalow! We appreciated the cleanliness, separate bathrooms, and hostess treats. The access to kayaks and paddle boards was fun! A short roll to the bay finger and easy paddle to Kings Bay where we saw manatees! Overall great stay!

Nice location

We stayed 2 nights, it is a very nice neighborhood, 3 min drive from where we went snorkeling with manatees, and from Hunter Spring Park. My only remark is that picture of the dock gives a wrong impression as if it is located at the back yard of the property, which isn't true. There is a walking distance to the dock and water, so we couldn't really enjoy the kayaks that the property offer.

Scalloping Crystal River FL

We did enjoy the location and our stay in that area the only disappointment was, we are in Florida and there were only 2 window air conditioning units for the whole house that were not on upon arrival (90 out) so it took a long time to cool the house off

Weekend getaway

Place was cute, clean and great location. Only drawback was the ac, just 2 wall units. It was pretty hot when we first got there but cooled down so no one was miserable. Ceiling fans and regular fans helped keep the air cirxulating.

Great Place

We had a great vacation here with friends! Plenty of room, lots of unexpected amenities like soaps in bathrooms, spices in the kitchen and dog beds for our pets! We loved being able to use the boat dock, made getting on the water fast and easy. We would definitely stay again at this place!
