Estuary Oasis, fish, kayak, view manatees, scallop

Bring the family to your own estuary oasis with a fenced in backyard. Stay in an island community surrounded by the Saint Martin's Marsh Aquatic Preserve, a mosaic of salt marshes and hammocks, fringed by mangroves. See the native flora and fauna of old Florida right from your back porch. Our waterway opens to Dixie Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, just a few minutes away. This is a pristine ecological system that offers a unique expierience. Bring your boat to tie up to our private dock, or just launch the provided kayaks. Catch fish in your backyard, or enjoy a bike ride around the neighborhood on provided bikes. Lounge in a hammock, or Netflix and chill. Enjoy delicious local restaurants that feature the freshest seafood, or catch and grill your own fish or scallops during scalloping season. There are nearby golf courses, biking and hiking trails, Forth Island Beach, waterfront restaurants, The Great Florida Birding Trail and Three Sisters' Springs State Park (winter home to the manatees).
We love our guests and hope you have a magical time here at our estuary oasis.
Enjoy your Coastal styled Estuary Oasis space while watching the sunrise sipping on provided coffee, or tea, and the sunset with your favorite drink in hand.

Relaxing stay
We had a great time at your property. Having the kayaks and being able to fish right off the deck was fantastic and kept everyone happy. The goats are great and provide everything.

Clean, quiet and relaxing
Four of us used the Estuary House as a hub while visiting our parents nearby. One of us is a bird nerd who loved birdwatching from the back deck. Crystal River is the place to go for manatee viewing. We also took a day trip to Sarasota for strolling along its white sandy beaches. We found the house clean, quiet and relaxing. Host responded quickly to all inquiries.

AMAZING HOST!!!!
The owners and the house were amazing! I never ever leave reviews but I am going to this time. From start to finish it was such a smooth process. Jason and Elizabeth have their house stocked with everything you can need. They left us a lovely bottle of wine which we enjoyed watching the sunset on the enclosed front porch. The kids loved how many games there were for them to play and played most of them. We really enjoyed our stay and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Definitely an Estuary Oasis!
I've stayed at quite a few VRBOs in the past and this was the best experience to date. The home is gorgeous and immaculate. Almost all the rooms have a stunning view of the water. The home feels spacious and lacking of no amenity. There were outdoor equipment and games for use. There were even snacks and goodies set out for us when we arrived. The home owners were incredibly responsive, helpful, warm and kind. It was wonderful experience in a lovely home with awesome owners!

Family time
We had a great time with family. We spent most of our time going to the beach and the various springs. We saw many manatees, which was a real thrill. Beautiful home. I watched the sunrise from the deck every morning. Such a peaceful way to start the day.
