Crystal River Family Vacation
Wonderful home, great location, beautiful area. The VRBO listing sounded too good to be true, but turned out to be exact. We had our family of 12, all ages, and had plenty of space. We didn’t enjoy the beautiful pool as much as expected, because we were busy enjoying snorkeling with the manatee, pontoon boating, swimming in rainbow river, and diving. Only wish it could have lasted longer. Amazing!

About the host

Hosted by Patty Beaty

Host profile image
My husband and I are Tennessee Natives with a Love for the Florida Lifestyle and this Fabulous Nature Coast. Thankfully we now call it home and also live in the neighborhood. We happened upon Crystal River while camping and Riding Horses. Never knew Florida could be so much fun with so much to do. We are excited to get to share our little piece of heaven with the world. Planning ahead for retirement we bought our first vacation rental in September of 2017. We have been thrilled with the support we are getting to share our home. We think it's special and so thankful others do too. Thank you to all upcoming and past guests for helping us share our little piece of paradise with the world.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely Love this little "hidden gem" of an area located in Florida .Citrus County is located about 60 miles north of Tampa and about 70 miles west of Orlando. It covers over 584 square miles and about 160,000 residents call it home. Crystal River snuggles up to the Gulf of Mexico and is surrounded by sparkling Tsala Apopka chain of lakes and the Withlocoochee River as well. Our average summer temps are in the mid/high 80's and winter is mid/high 60's. This huge house is located right in the heart of surrounding activities to make your vacation the best it can be. It is in a safe/upscale neighborhood surrounded by multi million dollar homes. We first vacationed in this area because of the State Forests and warm winter weather for camping and horseback riding with our horses. The area is surrounded by 7 different bodies of water. It has numerous Nature Trails and Beautiful Florida scenery. From the many gorgeous Palms to the breathtaking Live Oaks with Spanish Moss there is no place prettier to be "one" with nature. Once here we began to discover all the other amazing things this location has to offer. The natural springs are some of the most gorgeous you will ever see. This home is right in the center of all of it. How heartwarming to see dolphin and manatee in your backyard. You can paddleboard, kayak, boat, fish. The fun never ends! Our friends who visit for the first time are amazed. They thought Florida was just going to the beach and driving in heavy traffic. Going to restaurants and waiting in long lines that serve mass produced food/overpriced. But..... OH NO!!!! It's so much better in Crystal River!!! We love the local fresh seafood and small family owned restaurants. Ease of getting to your destinations. The beauty of this nature coast. I don't think there is a better place to enjoy your time once you discover it too. This house has the space to do all of these things and be comfortable with your family and friends while here.

What makes this property unique

Huge Home that truly has beds and space for 12 people. 6 bedrooms and a queen futon in upstairs wing. No Blow Up mattresses. No bunk beds. Two King Beds, Four Queen Beds and One Queen Futon. 4 Full Bathrooms. Great choice for multi family vacations and family reunions. A Game Room with Pool Table, Ping Pong, Poker Table, Corn Hole and a Huge outdoor Swimming area with Grill. Free Kayak use for up to 12 guests at once. The house is centrally located to all activities in the Crystal River Area. House is divided up so guests don't feel cramped and crowded. Space for everyone to be together or do lots of individual things. Main Chanel is One home away and NO Bridges to Gulf or Kings Bay. Not a better set up in Crystal River for large groups and area activities. Our Home has been host to National Geographic employees and Florida Wildlife Agency employees while working on manatee projects here in Crystal River. Come and Stay and See for Yourself.
