Nature oasis
This is a cozy well maintained cottage. It had everything we were looking for and more. We seen a manatee our first morning from our backyard. We seen so many fish a big alligator snapper an armadillo, wood stork the friendly neighboring white peacock that roams the street. The manatees really can’t get up the waterway in the backyard when it’s low tide but a quick trip to the open water right outside of the canal and a little patience we seen manatees both times we went out and it was so neat they followed us around in the canoe. We also seen sting ray and river otters while on the canoe. We seen no alligators so our last night we took the canoe out with flash lights and right outside of the canal in open water we seen lots of glowing eyes swimming across the water or hiding in the grass. Such a neat experience we will be back to this house on our next trip to Crystal River.

Lovely, cozy cottage with a huge fenced yard and water on 2 sides. Quiet neighborhood and hosts Dennis and Debra are right next door and eager to help out with anything. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate most of my visit but it was still a great place to relax.

Great Property
We had a wonderful week at this property! It was very clean, quiet and had everything that we needed for a nice stay. It was nice having the canal nearby for watching the wildlife and fishing. It was very comfortable for the 2 of us plus our dog. I would stay there again.

Birthday adventure!
We stayed here in December to celebrate our son turning 11. It was perfect for us. We fished, and even saw the manatee right from the house. Other than enjoying a wonderful seafood dinner, we ate all meals at this house. We booked a swim with the Manatee tour with River Ventures (JJ was the captain and Shelia was our tour guide). Would recommend this trip!!!

Lovely cottage in great surroundings
We had a great 2 night stay in the cottage. Its a good size and everything was provided to be self-sufficient. We were lucky enough to see a manatee, otter, lots of turtles including a snapping turtle and catch lots of fish. Grocery stores and eateries a short drive away.

Cozy Unique Cottage
The cottage is decorated with a mix of antique and modern. I was pleased with the ocean decor also. There are puzzles,movies,and plenty to do in the backyard!!! Everything you need is provided including toiletries. The tub was amazing. I love bubble baths and that was even included!!! So many fish in the canal. I even spotted a turtle. We canoed to the Emu Island and that was a treat in itself. We were going to cross the lake to try to find the sandy part to swim but we spotted an alligator that day and I immediately changed my mind!! We rented a pontoon boat and spent an afternoon in Kings Bay. There are many different restaurants on the water and that was an EXTRA for me. The owners live next to the property which is very convenient if you should need anything. Dennis is so nice. He greeted us but after that we had all the privacy we needed. Just take time to sit in the backyard and enjoy nature (but bring bug spray).

Vacation getaway
Spent our anniversary weekend at the cottage. Went to homosassa and Crystal river on boat tours. We used the peddle boat at the cottage and went down the canal. At end if canal was an Emu island, very interesting as they even had an alpaca. Cottage was well supplied. Even caught a bass fish in the canal. Place was a litle tricky to find as the cottage is tucked in on their property but they were home to guide us. Very relaxing weekend getaway
