"Terrible. Ended up spending another $1,600 last minute to stay elsewhere. This is not an air bnb or anything similar. It’s is one child size bedroom in a rude old lady’s house. It is intentional false advertising. The “shared bathroom” clause is supposed to have you assume you will be sharing the place with the elderly woman that lives there and whatever guests she has in another room. She called us that day and corrected our grammar and was very rude. Upon arrival, we walked past a living area...

PaddleTail Waterfront Lodge, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the property , all the amenities. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was very nice and clean"

Most unique unit at Sawgrass Landing 1-bedroom waterfront condo in Crystal River

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place and in a great location. We were there for a fly fishing trip and our captain was able to pick us up right from the dock. It’s not too far from downtown crystal river where all the lovely restaurants and shops are. Overall a very charming, quiet place with excellent sunset views. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip"

Relax and unwind in this unique waterfront property!

10/10 Excellent

Spacious Waterfront Luxury Home w dock, kayaks & bicycles bring your boat!

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay in Crystal River. The house was beautiful, thoughtfully decorated, and exceptionally well equipped—from a well-stocked kitchen and kayaks to games and activities for the kids. The host was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. We really appreciated how flexible they were in accommodating our family."

Nature is waiting for you! Explore, relax and enjoy it!

10/10 Excellent

"I can't say enough about this unique property. Clean, gorgeous views, and fully stocked for a cook. The owners were wonderful about communicating and allowing us access. We loved the location - easy access to great paddling, hiking and peace and quiet. We are already planning our return trip and have shared this incredible gem with several friends... thank you Richard and Denne for making my birthday escape so special."

Anita's nature coast hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! Remote and private yet close enough to local attractions and a beach on the Gulf is just a few miles up the road. The dolphins in the canal, and other aquatic life, made the stay very enjoyable. The screened in porch created great ambiance at any time of day. It was especially enjoyable at dawn and through the night a great place to watch thunderstorms roll in. We used the canoe and were able to do some productive fishing at dawn. Hosts are quick to respond and have great suggestions for the area."

Charming Waterfront Home - Dock Access - Fishing Retreat - Pool - AC - King Bed!

10/10 Excellent

"All comments about host, home, and location are accurate. This is a VERY quiet, comfortable, laid back vacation spot. My comments are ONLY focused on the dock and water access.Bring the boat. That is my only useful comment. I did a bit of homework on the tides and water depths at the dock and in the canal; I was a bit concerned before we booked.Our 22' center console with 200 hp yamaha draws 24" to the skeg. We do some fishing/boating in fresh water, some in salt; so we tend to pay more attention to how close we are to bottom than some, I guess.As one guest points out: you will be high and dry at low tide, regardless of boat/hull. Otherwise, we were easily able to get in and out at other times. First day we got into the Crystal River on the trolling motor out of caution. After that, just run the big engine.At high tide there's about 3 feet under the keel once you're out of the little canal; you have about 2 feet in the canal.On falling or rising tides, you'll lose those 2-3 feet very slowly (of course). If you're sensitive about it (as I was); time your stay to catch the low tide at night if possible; otherwise, don't sweat it too much.If you're looking for more than 12 hours on the water each day, you may want to look for a location with a deep water dock. For most people, 6-8 hours on the water is a FULL BAKE; it is for us, including fishing/scalloping/swimming in the springs."

Private Dock and Gulf water access Ozello 3/2 Home with amazing sunrises!

"The entire event was outstanding. If i could make any suggestion it would be to have fresh flowers. Maybe chocolates. It is 10/10!!!"
