The River Cottage

COME RELAX & UNWIND! BEST OPEN FLOOR PLAN, HEATED POOL
If you want a home to hang out with friends and family this is the place! Relaxing, large home facing west so that you can enjoy the outdoor space & pool without harsh afternoon sun. Not all homes are like this in the area, be careful which one you book!!
IF THIS HOME IS BOOKED PLEASE contact use about OUR OTHER PROPERTY FOR AVAILABILTY!

The openness of this home is its best feature. Large open kitchen with HUGE kitchen island & four extra large sliding glass doors that open to an outdoor pool side living area. The smart TV on patio makes it ideal to swim, grill out, fish and watch TV all while still outdoors enjoying the very best of the Nature Coast without the afternoon sun! From scalloping in the summer to swimming with manatees in the winter there is something for everyone in your party.

Make yourself comfortable in any of the three spacious bedrooms. This large 3 bedroom, 2 bath waterfront home sleeps 8 people (Max 6 adults). The gorgeous, L shaped heated pool overlooks the wide deep water canal. Bring your boat or you can launch our kayaks right from the floating dock. There is also a boat launch just 3 minutes away from the property.

All bedrooms have comfortable beds & smart TV's. A full hall bathroom is located between the two extra rooms & master has an en suite. In the living room you will find a twin size trundle bed that sleeps two, perfect for children.
The screened in sunroom/Lanai has a large flat screen smart TV that overlooks the pool, water and floating dock. Perfect for hanging out at the pool after a long day on the water. The back and side yards are fenced in perfect for watching children play or fish. There is a large 2 car garage and plenty of storage area. There is room in the driveway for two vehicles & a boat trailer. No parking in garage, grass or street areas.

This home is located on a deep canal with Gulf access. VERY large boats access this canal easily. There is one bridge going out to the Gulf but it is 40 feet high so NO height restrictions. The house is about 5 miles from the scalloping grounds & approximately 5-10 minutes drive from King’s Bay, 3 sisters springs, and hunter springs and 35 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico by boat (its a NO WAKE ZONE in the River, please be careful with manatees!!!). Fort Island Beach is also very close by, and we highly recommend seeing a sunset there!
If you love fishing/scalloping, this is the place to be! Crystal River has the best Scalloping grounds in the US., the best action is usually in 4-6 feet of water around Gomez Rocks at Latitude 2829.8, Longitude 8243.7. Offshore, there is shallow and deep water fishing. In the area there are large sailfin, catfish, sheepshead, red snapper, snook & redfish. You can also catch freshwater bass and trap blue crabs off the dock. The house is only a short walk from the Crystal River State Park Reserve and the Mullet Hole fishing spot.
