2700+sqft - waterfront sleeps 12 w/home theater - 7 kayaks, 2 paddle boards

Casa luz del sol means house of sun light. This west facing home certainly delivers on its name. From the open concept front living room with architectural windows to the huge sun/rec room bringing the beautiful outdoors in. You won't believe the luxury awaiting you in this beautiful waterfront 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom 2700 sq ft vacation home on a deep water canal in Crystal River. This home has just been completely remodeled with a new kitchen with granite, all new beds with new mattresses, linens, and bedding and hardwood floors in all bedrooms and hall. This is easily the best value in crystal river as it’s more than 50% larger than most other vacation rentals yet listed at 50% less than what they charge. We keep our prices low so we stay fully booked. Also the owner manages the property and answers calls immediately. Be weary of others using poor property managers you can never reach. This house comfortably sleeps 12 with a 1 king, 2 queens, 2 pull out sofa sleepers, and a futon. What's unique about this home that you won’t find in other rentals is it offers 4 separate living areas for added privacy (living, family, library and a huge rec room with home theater and pool table). When you walk through the entry double wood doors you are transfixed on the openness of the living room with large hickory beams across the cathedral ceiling, giving you that Swiss chalet feel. This room is great for watching tv on the 55" flat screen TV. Walk through the slider doors into the large recreation room with cathedral tongue and groove wood ceilings. It is surrounded by windows and offers great panoramic views of the water. If you want more privacy, you can pull down the exterior sun shades. It also has a home theater with 100" projection screen and dvd player with comfy seating for 10. This room is popular for family movie night, playing indoor ping pong.

Just down the hall you'll enter the family room with fireplace and 43" flat screen tv. Situated behind this room is a cozy and quiet library sitting room complete with rattan sofa and table with 2 chairs for enjoying your morning coffee. All 3 bedrooms include large flat screen TV's. The 2 bathrooms have both been remodeled with granite counter top vanities and tiled showers.

The kitchen has been remodeled with new granite counter tops, appliances, and a large eating area with 4 bar stools. It is fully stocked with all your kitchen needs. The dining area has a large country wooden table with 6 chairs.

Outside there is a covered arbor with patio living area complete with two tables and chairs with a fire pit. There is a charcoal grill as well. Down to the water you will find a very large floating dock over 35' in length. This dock sits in deep water and can easily accommodate 2 - 3 boats. The canal is extra wide to easily turn your boat around. Most others are not. Plus there is a boat launch less than half a mile away making it super easy access to our dock.

Another huge benefit over other rentals is we have an oversized winding driveway easily accommodating 6 or more vehicles plus a large side yard which can store 2 boat trailers. You won’t find this In other rentals. Most don’t always think ahead of this prior to booking and really struggle with once they get here.

Crystal River is known as the 'Home of the Manatee' and offers great restaurants, shops, and water activities, like fishing, kayaking, boating, and more. You can fish fresh water game from King's bay or take the 25 minute trip down Crystal River to the Gulf of Mexico and catch anything from trout to shark. Fishing off the dock, you can catch blue gill, large mouth bass, sail catfish, blue crabs and mangrove snapper.

Which ever place you choose to stay, you can't go wrong in Crystal River - it's old Florida at its best. It's scenic, surrounded by wild life, and with beautiful clear blue springs. You can see dolphin and manatee almost every time you go boating and sometimes right off our dock. And there are otters living in this canal as well.

For your recreation pleasure, we also have 2 mens and 1 ladies 10 speed bikes, 7 kayaks, and 2 paddle board.s

We know you have many choices in where you choose to stay, so we do our best to make our home your best option. We think you'll find it a great place to relax and unwind while being spoiled with luxurious amenities. We also live within 30 minutes so we’re close by if you need anything. And lastly, the one thing most of our past guests love is our central location. We’re less than five minutes to downtown crystal river

Wonderful week
House is very close to all we chose to do. Loved sitting on back patio watching the water in the canal. Very quiet neighborhood. We will definitely return.

nice clean house
The house is very spacious, clean and well stocked, my only issue with this house is the sunken living room in the middle of the house, just off the front door. I had to be on constant alert of my 93-year-old mother not falling down the step-down area, we had two people in our group that did fall. Thank God that they did not get hurt. Something to keep in mind when renting this property.

Watch that first step
Beautiful house and great location. I walked into the house and was absolutely in love. So in love I missed the step down into the living, which pitched me forward into a very heavy, well made coffee table. Marble top maybe? I immediately began bleeding and when i came to enough to know something wasn't right I couldn't see out of my right eye. Anyway, long story, went to local ER, which was very nice and conveniently close to the house. After a CT Scan I was flown by helicopter to Tampa General because I have multiple facial fractures and a brain bleed. Not that I wanted to see the sunset on the gulf that evening from a helicopter but that is how it was. Anyway, the house is terrific. My family stayed there and I stayed a night after my hospital stay and was very impressed by it. Wish I could have stayed longer and we could have done the things we had planned with our grandchildren but maybe next trip. Oops. Got to quit using the word trip. Bad memories. Just watch that first damn step.

Fantastic place to stay, A+ quality!
We stayed here during a trip to swim with the manatees. The property was outstanding and exceeded our expectations! It’s bigger than it seems with many rooms, all nicely decorated and all with TVs. There’s even a game room with pong pong and home theater! It was all in perfect shape, and the art was very well chosen, we loved it! Right on the canal and so near Crystal River. Really nothing missing, just perfect, we give an A+! We want to go back here next time we visit the manatees.

Perfect Stay
Lovely home, excellent host, great location. Lots of little touches that made our visit special ~ board games, ping pong table, lots of towels, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen etc etc. Location is central to anything you want to do in the area I also liked the homeowners art work. Couldn’t ask for more. Lastly the host was great at communicating with us.

Family fun
This house was clean, plenty of room to spread out, full of board games, a ping pong table, a movie projector, kayaks & paddle boards for use on the canal sets from the back door, and 4 TV sets. We only engaged in a fraction of all that due to time constraints. The full kitchen was well organized with everything a cook could want. We went on manatees and airboat excursions while there. These were minutes from the house. We plan on returning, as there is much more to see in Crystal River and enjoy in this house.
