Start your day with coffee on the screened lanai, overlooking peaceful canal views as your kids or pup play freely in the fenced yard. From your private dock, hop into one of the single or tandem included kayaks and paddle through scenic waterways to explore nearby springs like Three Sisters and Hunter Springs (about 1 hr paddle away)—where manatees often greet you in the cooler months.
Or, bring your own boat and head out to the Gulf in about 20 minutes for fishing, island-hopping, or scalloping during the summer season.
Inside, unwind in comfort with a fully stocked kitchen, cozy lounge seating, and space to relax or reconnect. When you’re ready to venture out, historic downtown Crystal River is just 2 miles away with local seafood, shops, and manatee tours year-round.
Plan your visit around:
- Manatee Season (Nov–Mar): Peak time for unforgettable wildlife encounters
- Scallop Season (July–Early Sept): Snorkel and gather fresh scallops from local seagrass beds
- Spring/Summer: Paddle, fish, or swim in the clear spring-fed waters
- Fall: Mild weather, fewer crowds, and excellent fishing
Whether you’re seeking adventure, family memories, or a peaceful nature retreat, this home is your launchpad for the best of Crystal River.
