Cozy Cottage
The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood and is centrally located for fishing, shopping, and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay. The accomodations were great and everything was clean. Nice yard with fire pit, grill, and deck. The hosts are great!

Peaceful and quiet
We stayed at this place over Easter Weekend. Cute and adorable house. Set away from the hubbub but walking distance from the river. This is a well equipped rental. Clean and had everything we could want. Would definitely stay here again.

Stay in Crystal River
We really enjoyed our stay in this cute little cottage. It was very clean and comfortable, and check in was very clear and easy. We never got to use the bikes, but that was a nice addition!

Manatee trip on a rainy weekend.
I had planned a camping getaway. Rain was going to wash us out. I was able to book this cabin. . I am so glad I did. The little cabin was perfect. They thought of ever little detail. The outside area was so cute. I would come back on a sunny weekend and explore. It really saved our weekend. Thank you for a cozy place to stay.

Fishing vacation
My husband and I stayed at this cozy little cottage during our annual January Florida fishing vacation. Usually I do all the VRBO house finding and planning but this year my husband found this little cottage and said I needed to book it. I was a little anxious before we arrived because it was just a “small little cottage” but when we arrived it was a perfect “cozy little cottage” for just the two of us. It was super clean and even though it didn’t have an oven or stove it had everything we needed anytime we wanted to cook. We ate some of our fresh caught fish and even grilled some steaks one night. For the days we didn’t want to cook there are plenty of restaurants in the area. On days we didn’t fish we went to surrounding towns/citys and enjoyed sightseeing and riding amusement park rides. We will definitely try to book this place again when we return for future fishing getaways.

Conditions of house
The host was nice. Both mini split a/c units sounded like a blender. You couldn't stand the noise.There isn't a bathroom exhaust fan so the house fills with condensation. Mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. We left early and went to a different home. We were refunded for the days we didn't stay and a partial refund for the days we were there.

Relaxing vaca!
My husband and i had a very relaxing stay. The cottage was super clean, I mean immaculate! It was the perfect size for the two of us, and really quiet. We wish the weather would have cooperated so we could have enjoyed the fire pit out back, but we made the best of it for sure! Our fav restaurant was Vintage on 5th, which is less than 10 min from the cottage. Jim & Wendy, the homeowners, were super nice and helpful!
