Top Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge Hotel Reviews

Plantation Resort on Crystal River

8/10 Good

"to be honest they were redoing the property so some things couldn't be helped. I just know from past experiences that its an excellent place to stay. They were cleaning up and redoing from a storm."

"The house is beautiful they have kept the old Florida look yet modified with all the modern conveniences and in a perfect location. Ac works great and the ice maker is a life saver. Probably paid for the house with the amount of money I saved on ice. Dani is very responsive and made sure we had a great stay."

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Crystal River! Peaceful area and property was clean and appealing!Thank you to our host!"

Waterfront home in Crystal River w/private dock and kayaks

10/10 Excellent

"It has been many years since I raised my sons in Crystal River, and although we’ve visited often, this trip was something special — just my husband and me with our five young grandchildren. This property is truly AMAZING. The house itself has a bit of a “campy” feel, but as a stilt home perched on a point, it offers delightful views and unforgettable sunsets over Kings Bay.The small cove between the large neighborhood dock and the house was alive with marine life. We saw multiple manatee every single day, and one afternoon a dolphin swam right into the cove to fish. We sat on the dock in absolute astonishment as she leapt out of the water to catch her prey. It was incredible.Kings Bay is simply beautiful, and the provided kayaks were such a thoughtful touch — perfect for exploring the water and enjoying the natural surroundings.We had a thrilling and memorable long weekend, thanks to the stunning natural beauty of this very special place and the hospitality of our attentive hosts. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic Crystal River experience."

Charming 2 bdrm 1.5 bath villa 100 yards to Three Sisters Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Great location ! Kayak to 3 sisters springs is only a few minutes... Weather was very hot ... But water was nice and cool off docks out in the back yard on canal ... Stairs were a bit challenging for us seniors ... but location was perfect..."

Cozy Cottage - River House - Kayaks - SUP - Relax & Recharge

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I truly enjoyed our long weekend at this rental. It was very clean, well equipped (fantastic range!), darling coastal decor, and comfortable. There were several kayaks and a SUP, though we just used the one tandem kayak. It was a very easy walk with the roller cart down the street to the dock. We also caught several fish in the cove, which was especially relaxing. Lots of fun family activities in the area, including manatee and sunset cruises. Great stay!"
