CASA DEL SOL OUR HOME IN THE SUN

Are you shopping for the perfect location for your family's vacation, girls weekend, scalloping or fishing trip? If so, look no further! With a heated pool, kayaks, four tastefully staged bedrooms, two full baths, and a chef's dream kitchen complete with high-end appliances and tons of workspace, Casa Del Sol checks all the boxes. If your idea of a dream vacation is kicking back and relaxing by the pool, playing with the Manatees, morning strolls along the river, kayaking or limiting out on Red Fish and Scallops, then your quest is over. Casa Del Sol isn't just another vacation rental, it's our personal vacation home, and we feel privileged to share it with our guests.

Located just below King's Bay on a deep-water lagoon, Casa Del Sol is in one of the few neighborhoods in Crystal River that legally allows short term vacation rentals. Our upscale neighborhood 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 vacation. 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.

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!

Great place for a waterfront getaway

Stayed here for four nights with another couple and our two girls. The house is spacious, well equipped and very clean. Has a nice screened in pool. And the dock was great for taking our friend's boat to go scalloping. Would definitely recommend.

Great River access

This location is prime with respect to River access for boating. The property is clean and excellent for entertaining. The property owners are courteous and helpful. The dock is a floating type which is great for mooring your boat. You don’t have to worry about dock lines due to tide change.

Carefree WATERFRONT Living at it's best.

Loved my stay in this home. Very cozy and supplied with everything you need. The view is spectacular, and so much to do. Step out the back door to to a nice pool and hot tub, with a shaded area for comfort. Enjoy the Life on the water. Bring your boat, tie it at your own dock, and fish whenever you like. The whole family will enjoy this property. You definitely will not want to leave.

Great vacation!

A wonderful time was had by the entire family. We thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and fishing off the dock every day. The house comes very well stocked with soap, paper towels, toilet paper, beach towels etc. the pictures online do not do the house justice. It is just lovely. We saw manatees almost every day off the dock and even caught some crabs. I would definitely recommend this house and plan to book here again in the future. Host was very responsive!

Wonderful vacation rental

Casa De Sol was just as described. We had a wonderful vacation. Loved the location and so did the manatees and a little alligator. We used the kayaks provided and were easily able to be on the water. The pool and hot tub were a nice way to wind down the day. The home is very spacious and laid out in such a way that there are many areas for people to relax in. The master bath shower was the talk of the family with its two rain shower heads. We have already passed on the name of this wonderful home to additional family! Thank you for such a great week!

Casa Del Sol in Crystal River

We spent a week at Casa Del Sol the end of July. The home was exactly as described - clean, thoughtfully supplied right down to the beach towels and extra pillows and blankets, great location just below Kings bay and a short boat ride to the Gulf, owners were wonderful and the scallops were plentiful. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and beautiful view. The video and book lending library were a nice touch. Kids enjoyed the kayaks and fishing pools. They caught several nice catfish right off the dock. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms met our needs just fine. All in all, a great vacation and we will definitely be back.

Beautiful house, great location for an extended family Thanksgiving

Casa del Sol is a lovely house situated directly on the water in a dog-friendly neighborhood, perfect for a large group that does not mind sharing bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked for meals in, including Thanksgiving (which we purchased pre-cooked from Publix), and the local restaurants we sampled were very good. We used the kayaks one day and rented a pontoon boat on another and drove it right up to the dock before heading out on the river for fishing, where we caught snapper and snook - our son also fished directly from the dock for hours, catching a bunch of catfish. We saw many manatees and a large variety of birds, both in the river and at Three Sisters Springs. I would not hesitate to visit again!

Crystal River - Manatees

The home was perfect for our 3 families with 2 grandchildren, (10, 12). Very comfortable and interior clean. We enjoyed the pool and kayaking. Getting in and out of kayaks can be tricky as there is no ladder or kayak launch on the dock. Fortunately we had 3 men available to assist the ladies. This is a great house and we definitely recommend and would consider staying here again. Even though summer is the off season for manatees there were plenty to be seen. We made lots of memories.

Winter Get-away from WI

Considering the temperatures were in the 20's the night before we arrived, we had some great weather while we were in FL. The accommodations were very nice. I did all the cooking in house the kitchen was a very well equipped with everything we needed. We loved the hottub and used it a lot. The solar panels for the pool never warmed it up much due to the cold temperatures before we arrived. We kayaked, hiked in the area, fished, swam with the manatees, and had a great time. The home is spacious and in a very nice location. We had a few challenges and they were handled quickly by the manager. My family would definitely return to this home.

Awesome experience!!

We stayed here with a total of 9 people. The house was well equipped with everything needed. Lots of kitchen utensils, water toys, blankets and towels. We really enjoyed the outdoor area and easy access to open water. The wind pushed the grass around the dock some days which got sucked into our jetskis but we were able to manage. The furniture in the home was very comfortable! I do recommend carefully reading the sleeping arrangements if traveling with a house full of adults. The post of the home is accurate but be sure to read the bed sizes and so forth so there are no surprises for the sleeping situations. We did see some manatees around the dock and overall had an awesome time. We would definitely recommend this home!

Great Stay - Enjoyed the Renovations

It's been a few years since we stayed at this house. When we needed a reservation at the last minute, Jan and Teri were more than accommodating. They quickly responded to my e-mails and we had the place booked in no time! They made sure the house was in order well before we arrived and checked in to make sure our stay was going well. The house has been recently renovated and everything was in great condition. All the appliances are new. The kitchen was fully equipped compared to other rentals we've stayed at. There was also an extra fridge and deep freeze in the garage. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect. The boat dock fit our 27 ft Ameracat boat. The dock is at the end of the canal and at extreme low tide we had to be a little careful maneuvering. There was a fish cleaning station and hoses nearby to rinse off the boat and gear. The description says the driveway fits a boat trailer and 3 cars. We could have squeezed in a 4th car without being on the grass or in the way of the neighbors. Jan and Teri went above and beyond to help us secure the reservation at the last minute. They were quick to respond to e-mails and easy to get a hold of by phone. The house had everything we needed and more. We'll definitely rent this house in the future.

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.
