Beautiful home in a great location! Perfect for families to enjoy all that Crystal River and the surrounding area have to offer. Our kids loved the bunk room and kayaking from the dock out back. The owners were attentive and very kind! We will definitely be back next spring!

Great little bungalow!
Great little home away from home! The place was clean and well stocked with anything you need to feel comfortable. Loved having the kayaks. We paddled out the afternoon we arrived. Ice machine on the back porch is really convenient. Overall, great place and we would book again.

Great location!
We loved the house and location. The home had everything we needed to enjoy our time at Crystal River. We spent hours everyday just watching the water to see Manatee, gators, and crabs. So much fun!

A Crystal River Gem
We had a great stay. A minor hiccup checking in was quickly resolved and the weekend was smooth sailing (or should o say kayaking) after that. We enjoyed all the amenities from kayaking, ping pong, the hot tub and fire pit. Quick drives to restaurants, grocery stores and area attractions made this an ideal location! Definitely recommend for families with children as their were plenty of beds, games, books and space inside and out.

Great rental setup with families in mind!
It’s hard to decide what our kids loved more— the hot tub, the dart board, the ping pong table, the kayaks?! My daughter even pulled her little brother in the wagon through the backyard. This house set up is so kid-friendly and fun. Highly recommend!

Fun in the Sun
We had such a fun Spring Break week with the kids. We loved that we had direct access to the water. We brought our paddle boards, but the house provided 4 kayaks for us to use too. The kids loved the hot tub and we played lots of ping pong when we weren't on the water. The house is clean and the beds were comfortable. The location was great as well, easy to get to all the activities that we had planned. We will definitely be back!

This property was exactly as described. We had a wonderful week here. There were 4 kayaks and 4 bikes that we used while we were there. The kids loved the hot tub and ping pong table. The home was clean and beds were comfortable. Air conditioning worked great. And we loved the location, as it was close to all the activities that we had planned.

Loved it!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Blue Door House. It was well appointed and extremely comfortable. Great location both by land and water. We rented a pontoon from Cool Waters(the only place that offers multi day rental), never had any issues, even during low tide getting to the dock. We took advantage of the kayaks and bicycles, which were a huge bonus. The ping pong table & dart board were a hit during a little down time. We definitely recommend staying here.

Great stay
Perfect for us! We arrived to a clean, well maintained, and full of fun amenities for our family! We enjoyed kayaking and saw many manatees only a short way down the water way. We enjoyed fishing, playing ping pong, darts, eating outside in the Florida room, and playing so many games. The place was decorated so cute with comfy beds and comfortable bathrooms. There were also little extras that were nice touches. It was a short drive to the grocery store, ice cream parlor, and beach. Our only negative was we didn’t book long enough. We wished we stayed longer.

Wonderful location!
The house was beautifully decorated! Updated kitchen with pretty much everything you need. Bathrooms also beautifully updated and plenty of towels and linens. The beds and living room coach were super comfy. Plenty of room for all of us. We just loved having access to the four kayaks that came with the house and the awesome dock at the end of a very quiet little canal that was just a short paddle around the corner taking you out to kings bay! The location was great! Seemed like everything was no more than 10-15 minutes away. Tiffani was an awesome host! Very communicative and friendly, giving lots of tips for the area. Definitely recommend staying here and hopefully we’ll be back again!

Perfect Place to Unplug!
We could not be more pleased with a last minute booking with Tiffani. Our visit to Crystal River was even more enjoyable because the home exceeded our expectations. The home is perfectly located and includes ammenities not normally found in VRBO rentals. The hot tub, kayaks and ping pong table are an added bonus and the kitchen is well stocked . The state owned wildlife rehab sanctuary is a must-do experience. Tiffani, thanks for sharing your lovely home and ensuring a memorable holiday! Sharon and Melissa, Atlanta, GA

Nice home
Another couple stayed with us at the Blue Door. We made meals together in the large kitchen, kayaked on the river and saw an eagle & manatee, star gazed while walking the neighborhood, sat on the dock for sunset, played ping pong on the patio. It was a relaxing weekend with lots of laughter. There's plenty of everything you'd need for your stay; they thought of everything!

Beautiful home!
The house was perfect for us. We were able to kayak right from the house with the use of kayaks. We were able to go right to the manatees! We were also able to do some nice leisurely bike rides from the house as well. Very friendly neighborhood. Communication was great with the owners. Beds were very comfortable. Hot tub bonus! Definitely recommend the wildlife park and the little shops in Crystal River. Great steaks and seafood at the WinnDixie to grill right at house.
