Very nice house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. Tailor was easy to communicate with and did so promptly. The house was immaculate altho it was not ready when promised. A text or phone call telling us would have been appreciated. Beds were very comfy.The outside space is great, including the seating, fire pit and kayaks. Lots of hours were spent fishing off the dock. The bugs were very bad when we were there, but we chalked that up to the time of the year,etc.-certainly not the owners fault. The only place to play games or cards is at the island with the four stools.There are no end tables or lamps in the house so finding a place to put your drink was awkward. Also, in the bedrooms there is absolutely no place to put your clothes so we had to live out of our suitcases. The bathrooms don't have any hooks to hang your towels.The door to the garage and then the door to the exterior did not lock - we could push them open.I would probably not rent again, especially when I contacted the owner and he said he had heard those same complaints before but obviously didn't do anything about it.

Great stay!

Beautiful place, convenient location, easy water access with kayaks onsite, fire pit stocked with firewood, and great communication from hosts!We saw tons of manatees, were able to kayak to restaurants and all the nearby springs, located in the middle of multiple parks and beaches, and hiking/biking trail right down the road. We will certainly book again!

Perfect place for kayaking to the springs

This rental was spotless. One of the cleanest I've ever rented. The beds were very comfortable as well. We had 5 adults and there was plenty of room We spent most of our time on the back patio. The rental said it came with 4 kayaks, but there were 5 for us. That was a nice touch. So were the snorkels and masks.My daughter swam with a manatee right off the dock!The only thing I was disappointed about is that it did not come with a recycling bin. The town of Crystal river has single stream recycling and I saw the neighbors put out their bins. We ended up keeping all of our recyclables and driving out to the recycling center in Lecanto.

Awesome getaway and experience

Everything about our stay and the property was perfect. The property is as nice or even better than advertised. Having direct access to the water and kayaks was very convenient and allowed us to avoid the cost of renting kayaks elsewhere. The restaurants in the area are very close and convenient. We will definitely be back!!

Fantastic experience

Taylor and Debs house was brilliant. All the fixtures and appliances are high end and the beds and sofas are extremely comfortable. The kitchen is kitted out with everything you need and the showers are powerful and hot with loads of hotel quality towels. The best thing however is its location on an inlet right off the bay. Sitting on the deck is delightful and we saw a manatee there when we first arrived. The kayaks that were provided are great and it’s an amazing experience to paddle over to the 3 sisters springs where the manatees are amassed. The fire pit was also a lovely addition. We went on a trip to snorkel with manatees which is an absolute must and a truly amazing experience. We had a wonderful trip.
