3/2 HEATED POOL HOME ON DEEP WATER CANAL

*The River Bungalow* - a 3 bedroom, 2 bath pool home on a deep water canal. A home with a large, heated, screened saltwater pool. Very comfortable house with a well stocked kitchen. Plenty of outdoor space, both inside and outside of the screen enclosure, to enjoy. Fun fishing right from the dock!

Home is well appointed. The kitchen is stocked for your visit with plenty to use.

The primary bedroom has a comfortable king bed, closet space for storage, separate bathroom with a shower, and a smart TV for streaming your favorite shows. This room has a door that leads to the backyard and pool area.

The second bedroom has a queen bed, closet, and a smart TV for streaming.

The second bathroom has a large vanity, tub/shower combo, and a toilet. It is located across from the second bedroom.

The third bedroom has a bunk - a full bed over a queen bed. A smart TV is also in this room. This room has a private door that leads to the screened-in pool area.

The living room has a large sectional couch, a recliner, and a large smart TV for streaming your favorite shows/movies. The living room has a view to the pool area with a sliding glass door that leads out to the screen enclosure area.

The large screen enclosed pool area is the best spot to relax. There is a roof the length of the first section, meaning even when it is raining or the sun is intense you can enjoy this area. This covered area has a dining table to enjoy outdoor meals at, and a set of chairs to enjoy around some lounging at. These areas provide spots to relax while watching the kids in the pool, talking with friends, or grilling your catch from the day.

Kayaks are available for use, as well as bicycles in the garage. If you love fishing, our location will suit your needs. The home is located on a deeper canal with Gulf access. A dock provides access to the water. You are welcome to bring your boat, there is a public boat launch for a small fee just one mile away. Local businesses also offer boats for rent. Great fishing is not far away, manatee viewing, and scalloping when it is in season!

There is a heater on the pool for a small extra charge. It will keep the pool a nice enjoyable temperature. We do accept pets to stay with you at The River Bungalow - up to two well behaved, house-trained pets are allowed for a pet fee.

Policy Reminders:
-We do NOT allow any events, parties or large gatherings at our location.
-Must be at least 25 years old to book
-No smoking/vaping inside the home and no smoking on the enclosed pool area
-Please respect quiet hours
-Parking in driveway only, no parking on grass areas or in the garage
-If you plan to bring your boat, space for one boat only at dock
-Pet friendly with fee
-This property features 1 exterior security camera facing the yard/driveway in the front of the home. The camera is outward facing only and for safety of the home.

We highly recommend purchasing trip/travel insurance when booking, especially during seasons where the weather can be unpredictable.

Location: Crystal River is a year round destination with great fishing. Manatees can be viewed in the winter and scalloping is available in the summer. Fabulous fishing just a short boat ride away to the Gulf. The home is close to Crystal River Archaeological State Park. There are also great golf courses nearby. We encourage you to come to relax and/or adventure while you enjoy the river life and make buckets of memories at The River Bungalow!

Great Family Home with Crystal River Access
This was a great place to stay for our family of 4. We were super pleased with the home. It was comfy, with soft linens, blankets and towels - but it was the other little kid friendly details that made it such a wonderful place to stay for our family. From tons of pool towels, kayaks, crab trap and bikes outside to games and puzzles, and finally Disney+ access inside - it was truly kid friendly and made for an enjoyable stay. Home was clean and a great overall experience for us. We never needed to call the owner - everything was perfect!

Wonderful Waterfront/Pool Home - 5 stars!
We had a great time at this lovely waterfront home. It was perfect for our annual scalloping trip. The floating dock with bumpers is ideal for parking a boat, the canal is deep and there is easy access to the Gulf. We loved the screened in patio area with ample seating options, the firepit and a huge pool. The home is very clean, the kitchen is incredibly well-stocked, the beds are comfortable. The hosts were very responsive and have done a wonderful job of providing all the little things that make you feel at home. Having so many kayaks and bikes available is a huge plus - there is a lot to explore nearby. We've stayed in several vacation homes in the area, and this is our favorite. We hope to visit again next year!

Family vacation
We had 7 ppl there with approval. My family enjoyed it all. The 10 yr old granddaughter super enjoyed the pool. She was in there morning and night. It was easy to find everything because it was labeled(genius idea). We cooked almost every night thanks to the grill. Love, love , love the decor and family room. If there was any downside, the little step down to the family room for us had us all tripping because we missed the step. The stay was wonderful and love the quiet neighborhood. As it turned out, we all needed that peace and quiet.

This is the second time we stayed at this property and the second time we've had an amazing experience! The property owner Vanessa is so gracious and excellent with communication. The house was clean and fit our family perfectly. The water access makes it a great boating experience and we can keep the boat right behind the house. We will definitely be back. Thank you for another great experience! Cheers

Getaway
The rental was absolutely perfect in my mind The pool was the perfect temperature & so relaxing! I loved sitting on the bench watching the birds fly over the canal - I even caught a fish I took the kayaks out and spotted a dolphin I went running every day around the 7 mile nature loop and saw all kinds of wild animals The location was phenomenal I topped off the vacation with a manatee swim. When I am back in Crystal River, I definitely plan to rent this house again - phenomenal 10 out of 10!

This property was fantastic!
The house and surrounding areas were perfect for boating, fishing, and snorkeling. The property was very clean and full of great amenities. The dock was perfect for a sizeable boat and the kyaks were a great addition. The location of the canal outlet onto the main river was very convenient and is about halfway between the Gulf and the springs upriver. We will definitely be booking this property again.

We loved the home. Plenty of room for all 6 of us. The kids loved the pool. We ate all meals outside. We rode bikes to the archeological center just around the corner, we kayaked and saw an alligator and a turtle. If we ever head that way again we would choose this home.

Wonderfully Pleasant Property and Stay
The River Bungalow combines functionality with personal touch to make for the most comfortable stay. The house is so easy to settle into and be comfortable. The list of check out items is simple and undaunting. Our family of five visited Crystal River for Spring Break. Our three daughters range in age from 7-18, and this was the perfect destination to find something for everyone. The house afforded ample space to spread out but also an intimate space to forge family bonds and create lasting memories together - something I’m craving more and more as these moments with my soon off to college daughter are fleeting. We enjoyed swimming with the manatees, kayaking down the canal to the river, swimming in the pool, cooking meals together, and exploring some of the local restaurants and shops. We had one rain day, and the Florida Aquarium in Tampa was an easy drive to fill it. Hunter Springs, Fort Island Beach, and Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park provided sights we don’t get in our home beach community in North Carolina. Vanessa was a wonderful host who communicated with us with ease. She prepared her home to anticipate so many of our needs. Extra blankets, plenty of towels, kayaks, bikes, and even toys and treats for the dog were easily found when we arrived. I am so appreciative of all the effort put into this home, and it certainly increases its value. Highly recommend as we would absolutely return, and the bar for a rental has been set high.

Spring Break in Crystal River 2024
The house was very clean, and really enjoyed our stay. The home is well stocked, and the pool was great. Only complaint I would have is the step down into the living room, in which I fell. Need to have some type of warning, and the blinds which are broken should be replaced. Other that those 2 issues the place was great, and I would stay again

Fun Getaway
Our family of five had an amazing time at the house. The house was very clean and spacious. It had all the comforts of home plus more. I loved how the kitchen cabinets were labeled and everything looked new. The house was decorated for the holidays which made it feel extra special. My youngest loved the heated pool. He spent a lot of time swimming. I enjoyed sitting outside every morning drinking coffee and watching the wildlife. There were 2 otters that would swim by every morning. The neighborhood is very peaceful. We were close to the park and a short drive to restaurants and shopping areas. We brought pocket fishing poles and caught fish off the dock. We tried catching blue crabs but only ended up with one. My husband used one the kayaks and did a bike ride through the state park. It was great having access to kayaks (life vests included) and bikes. This was our first time to Crystal River and we had a great experience. The host was so patient with my many emails and responded quickly with such kindness. I would highly recommend staying here.
