  • CASA DEL SOL OUR HOME IN THE SUN

    Are you shopping for the perfect location for your family's holiday, girls weekend, scalloping or fishing trip? If so, look no further! With a pool, kayaks, four tastefully staged bedrooms, two full baths, and a chef's dream kitchen complete with high-end appliances and tonnes of workspace, Casa Del Sol checks all the boxes. If you want to kick back and relaxing by the pool, play with Manatees, take morning strolls along the river, kayak or limit out on Red Fish and Scallops, then your quest is over.

    Located just below King's Bay on a deep-water lagoon, Casa Del Sol is in one of the few areas in Crystal River that legally allows short term holiday rentals. Our upscale area consists of several small islands just off the main river. For kayakers, we are a 30-minute paddle to Three Sister's or Hunter Springs. Don’t have a kayak. No worries, we provide two kayaks for your use and there are rental shops within a few miles of the home. The islands around our home are a kayaker's dream where it is common to encounter dolphin, sea turtles and manatees. Our area is quiet and peaceful unlike the touristy Spring area. For boaters and fishermen, our home is just five houses off the main channel on a deep-water lagoon. We are below the "No Wake Zones" found on Kings Bay - without bridges, tide concerns or long boring canal rides to the main channel or gulf. There's a 24' floating boat dock that will accommodate two small boats or one large. We also have a fish cleaning station with lights, electricity and running water. There are two boat launches within five minutes of the house. By car, we are located just off Fort Island Trail half-way between Crystal River and Fort Island Trail Beach.

    In 2025, our home received an extensive remodel after Hurricane Helene. We went for a fun, upbeat Boho Chic vibe with mermaid and octopus bedrooms, and a great bar area all in tropical shades of crimson and teal. The home is filled with artwork from the Crystal River area creating a unique perspective on coastal living. The home boasts four full bedrooms (3 King Beds and a Queen) and two custom designed bathrooms. The master bath has a large, beautifully appointed, walk-in shower, double sinks and separate water closet.

    We put careful consideration into every element of our home. We designed, stocked and furnished the home with our guests in mind. From first-aid kits to beach towels, we have tried to think of everything you might need, and we don't skimp on quantity or quality. Our maintenance team and cleaning staff are fantastic. If something breaks, we fix it, and the home is spotless. We have high standards, and we believe in treating our guests as we would want to be treated on our holiday. We are honest, fair and happy to be in a position to share the homes that we have been blessed with. So, take a moment, look at the pictures and check-out Casa Del Sol.

    The master bedroom has a 42" Roku Smart TV.

    The kitchen is well stocked with dishes for 12, a host of small appliances including a deep fryer, crock pot, blender, and plenty of pots, pans, serving bowls and new stainless-steel appliances. The kitchen also has a breakfast bar with seating for five. The dining room has a dining table that seats six.

    The home has Wi-Fi and Streaming ROKU TV.

    At Casa Del Sol you can fish and watch manatees from the private boat dock. If you enjoy fishing, trout, snapper, cobia and redfish are abundant in the area. Professional guides are available for fishing excursions. Kayakers can pack a snack, board the kayaks - provided with your rental - and head for Three Sister's Spring - for a day of sight-seeing and Manatee watching. Manatees frequent our cove and can be seen from the dock along with other area wildlife. At the end of the day relax by the pool. Whatever you decide to do during your stay, you and your family are sure to go home with lifelong memories from your stay at Casa Del Sol - our home in the sun!

    THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL $25.00 PER NIGHT, PER PERSON FEE FOR PARTIES OVER 8. WE ALLOW A MAXIMUM OF 10 GUESTS INCLUDING CHILDREN AND ADULTS. ONE PET IS ALLOWED WITH AN ADDITIONAL $75 PET FEE.

Great stay in Crystal River

Cosa Del Sol is a great house in a quiet neighborhood. The house was well equipt. Teri was quick to answer any questions or concerns. We paddled to Three Sister's Springs and saw several manatees. We also had some manatees around our dock a few days. The grandkids enjoyed the playground at Kings Bay Park, and Fort Island Beach. We also explored some nearby hiking trails.

This was our second year staying at this property, and it continues to exceed expectations. The house is extremely clean, the views are gorgeous, and the location is perfect for quick river access and grabbing supplies. The dock and cleaning station were well maintained and made our days on the water easy. Inside, the beds and blankets were so comfortable—it truly feels like a welcoming home away from home.

Teri was super easy to communicate with and quickly addressed any issues we shared with her. While she can’t control the weather, our weather was perfect during our stay. The access to the Gulf and springs was very convenient by boat. Boat docking was sufficient for two boats. The pool was clean which we enjoyed daily. The kitchen had lots of utensils and our family divided those duties so not everyone had to cook each night! Perfect stay!! Our second at Casa del Sol. Hopefully we’ll be back!!!

The house and location is a dream come true. Clean, neat, spacious for our family. The pool was clean and plenty of sitting/tanning area. The dock area was clean and well taken care of. Our last morning ended with 3 surprise visitors as I was sitting at the dock. Two manatees and a dolphin came by to show off for a while. It was perfect! Highly recommend!!

The view is perfect. Deep water lagoon is great for fishing off the dock.

Beds were very comfortable, the pool was a great touch. The location is quiet but easily accessible to town. Very easy for our fishing guide to pick us up right off the dock since it’s so close to King’s bay.
