Crystal River, Private Waterfront Home, Dock-Pool-Kayaks-Pets-Outdoor Kitchen

Welcome to Casa Del Rio. Our professionally decorated home with a fun coastal flare is located in an upscale, private neighborhood just off Fort Island Trail in Crystal River, FL. Location is everything and Rio is only minutes to Hwy 19, Three Sister's Springs, biking and hiking trails, downtown tourist dining, partying or shopping and Fort Island Trail Beach.

Our home has four bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms, a solar heated/screened, swimming pool, large outdoor kitchen with high-end gas barbeque, Smart TV, granite counters and sink. A gourmet indoor kitchen with new commercial appliances to include ice maker, wine cooler, dishwasher and commercial grade gas stove. There's a large dock for your boat or fishing and a fenced yard for furry friends.

This is our "river house" and not just someone's rental house. We take pride in every inch of it. The furniture, beds and all appliances are brand new. Everything is high end catering to sophisticated tastes, with original artwork from area artists and an eye for detail. We want you to enjoy Casa Del Rio as much as we do, and we put great effort into assuring that your stay will be enjoyed by all.

Primary Bedroom - King bed, sitting area with two chairs, large walk-in shower with choice of rain or wall shower heads, 42" flat screen Smart TV, great walk-in closet.

Guest Bedroom - King Bed

Guest Bedroom - Queen Bed

Guest Bedroom - Queen Murphy Bed

A Queen Air Mattress is provided for two additional guests.

We allow a maximum of 10 guests including children and adults. There is a $25.00 per person, per night additional charge for parties over 8. One pet is allowed with an Additional $75 pet fee.

DINING
The gourmet kitchen has a built-in wine cooler, large ice maker, dishwasher, commercial grade gas stove, large refrigerator and an assortment of small appliances. The dining room table seats 6. There's additional seating at the kitchen island for four. We do not skimp on the small stuff. If you need it, it will be there!

OPEN CONCEPT LIVING
The main living area abounds with an open concept consisting of a living room, kitchen, dining area and bonus room. The living room is perfect for relaxing and boasts a 75" Smart TV. The bonus room overlooks the canal with a wet bar, sitting area and 42" Smart TV. The home has great natural flow and is designed for entertaining and dining.

OUTDOOR AMENITIES
The outdoor kitchen is a fantastic place to gather with friends - the 50" flat screen TV is great for football games or the morning news. This area also has a full sink, gas grill, granite counter tops, ceiling fans to keep the no-see-ums at bay and lighting. Sit back, have a cup of coffee and watch the morning news from this vantage point. You never know who might swim by in the canal - dolphins, manatees and an assortment of coastal birds frequent our backyard.

The large dock easily accommodates two boats, kayaks or jets skis. The canal is subject to tides but is appropriate for pontoon boats, bay boats, kayaks and low draft skiffs. It joins the bottom of Kings Bay after a scenic 10-minute boat ride at idle speed and there are no bridges to worry about. The home comes with 2 kayaks and life jackets. You can kayak to the Springs in 30 to 45 minutes depending on wind and tides. There's great fishing off the dock and manatees and dolphins frequent the canal. The area is great for kayakers, fishing and nature lovers.

If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, get away - perfect for family get-togethers or a romantic interlude then look no further than Casa Del Rio!

The Snowbird Rate requires a minimum 29 -night stay.

We enjoyed our stay. House was perfect with plenty of space for the fam & was in a great location - short boat ride to the springs and out to Homosassa Bay for scalloping. Really liked being able to take the boat to all the waterfront restaurants that were close by too.

We stayed a full week in Crystal River at this house and couldn’t have been happier. The owners were super nice and easy to communicate with. The location of the house was great, very close to a boat ramp. The beds were comfortable, the AC was solid, the appliances were all great, no complaints at all. Pool was nice and the canal in the back was fun to fish in. Would stay here again!

Great house not so great canal

The house was absolutely beautiful. Beds were extremely comfortable. The pool came in very useful because our day was having to be scheduled around the tides. Canal is extremely shallow at low tide. Chipped the bottom of our hull. We had a deck boat so a flat boat or pontoon would probably be preferable. really close to all the great spots in Kings Bay. host is very accommodating and responsive.

We stayed here for our annual friends and family scalloping trip. We brought our 23' Tri-toon. The canal was very shallow at low tide, but the owner gave us instructions on how to come and go so we wouldn't damage anything. Check in was seamless. Teri was very responsive and tried to accommodate us because we arrived earlier than expected. The house was great. Everything was clean. Whatever we needed we had available to us. The pool was fantastic to cool off in the afternoon after a day on the water scalloping. The kitchen was giant, and had anything we needed. The beds were all comfortable. The dock was perfect for our boat, and the fish cleaning area was huge! We also loved the outdoor kitchen area and the grill. We would definitely recommend this house to everyone, and we will most likely stay here again next year.

Wonderful

Our family had an absolutely marvelous time here for our Christmas vacation. There was plenty of space for our family of 6 and it's at a great location. We loved kayaking around the area and getting close to the manatees and the birding was fantastic too. So many things to enjoy! We will definitely look into staying here again in the future. Thank you Teri for your outstanding hospitality!

Awesome

It was the perfect place for my family to gather and go scalloping. We scallop every year and this is our first year staying at this home but I can definitely say it won't be our last. We loved it, just perfect. We would go scalloping all day, come home jump in the pool, cook our scallops, and then go fishing off the dock.

We originally picked this home because of the location, the dock, and the pool. But we were pleasantly surprised and this home exceeded our expectations!! The very large, spacious kitchen and wet bar are an absolute delight. House has a lot of elbow room and no one ever felt cramped. The house and amenities are better than described.

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish! The house and it’s grounds were both very clean and abundantly stocked with everything we could have ever needed. Teri was an absolute dream to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Additionally, the cleaning company found an item we left behind and immediately made arrangements to send it to us! It was a perfect home away from home and we will be back!

Great house

Very nicely appointed house with great indoor and outdoor spaces in a very quiet neighborhood, yet close to town, to hiking and paddling trails. The canal is quiet, and the house has a floating dock facing a preserve. The yard is completely fenced in and safe for the dogs. We lucked out as a cold front came through during our stay bringing tons of manatees out of the gulf towards the springs. Quite a feast to be so close to so many of these gentle giants!!.

Lovelt Home

We loved the home. The owners are very easy to work with. They keep you informed about everything you need. The kitchen is just one word "AWESOME". It has everythin you need or want in a kitchen. Even has a stand alone ice maker. Not one of those little counter top ones but on the size of a small dishwasher. The beds are very comfortable. The pool and dock are great. The orange trees where an added bonus. I will say that on low tide a boat won't make it through a spot in the channel but you just need to avoid that time and you would be fine. We kayaked to see the manatees and it was beautiful. I did not get a change to use the outdoor kitchen but it looked very nice.

Nice house, great location

Because of COVID, we had to cancel our summer trip to Yellowstone. We chose to stay in Crystal River for a getaway that was close to home (2hr drive). The house was nicely appointed as described. We brought paddle boards and enjoyed paddling to Three Sisters Spring. There was a juvenile gator in the canal behind the house and several manatees that came by frequently. This was the restful getaway we had hoped for. The host was very responsive to emails and phone calls. We had a little problem with the AC that was quickly repaired. I hope they will fix the snook lights in the back. For better night fishing. We would definitely recommend to others. Thank you Terri!

Love Crystal River

Always have an absolute blast staying in Crystal River. You can tell the home was recently remodeled fresh and very clean. Everything in the home is very well taken care of and communication with the owner is quick and responsive. The home is well stocked with every you would need to cook. Our only major complaint is the canal is extremely rocky. We have a 26 foot pathfinder and there were multiple times. It was very difficult to navigate due to the water being under 2 feet. The bottom is very rocky and really damaged our boat. At one point, we could not even reach the home because the canal was completely dry across. You have to watch the tides. Only one of the rocks is marked in the channel and thank goodness the neighbors let us know of another one. Unfortunately, there was even more and we took a big chunk at the bottom of our boat.
