Beautiful riverfront condo. Best deal on the river! No hurricane damage!

A million dollar view awaits you! We welcome you to our home away from home. You must be able to climb 15 steps to the front door. We have a master suite on the main floor. Two more bedrooms and a bonus living room are on the second floor. We have a 2 person inflatable Star kayak that can be taken to the springs and launched at Hunter Springs Park $5.00 parking no pets. We also have a new Old Town Saranac canoe that can be launched from the condo property. We have a assortment of NRS paddle vests. We have corn hole boards and bags, pickle ball paddles/balls, pool toys, beach wagon and toys, 4 beach chairs, soft side cooler for bait and a medium size cooler for beach use.

This amazing waterfront condo is located in a gated community. Bicycling paths, tennis court, heated community swimming pool, and a clubhouse. The public boat launch is right next door. This is a HOA gated community. Please no parties and abide by the community rules. Everyone is extremely friendly, and time stands still here. Gated boat storage 3 minutes away on Fort Island Trail (813)817-1828.

Come enjoy the river. Kayaking, boating, the Springs (they are AMAZING) Snorkeling tours, parks, Manatees, Scalloping and golf. You may bring your own canoe or SUP. Beware we do have alligators and snakes. The fishing is great all year round, so bring your fishing gear and enjoy catching the wide variety of species swimming in Crystal River and out in the Gulf. Golf courses within minutes.

When you come to Crystal River you are in for a laid-back unique experience. We fell in love with the beauty of the nature and the serenity of the river yet being minutes away from downtown Crystal River where you can visit the charming shops on Citrus Ave and enjoy delicious cuisine at our restaurants. There is something to do for everyone. Please take some time to look through our book for ideas for activities, day trips, and dining.

There are so many choices you will want to come back again and again.
Crystal River offers one of the few remaining areas to scallop in Florida during the summer. With all the spring fed rivers and miles of mangroves, Crystal River has the best Scalloping grounds in the US. We have some great charter guides that will expertly take you to where the action is. The 2024 Scalloping season in Crystal River, begins July 1st and ends September 24th.

The peak season for observing Manatee is November through April but you can spot manatee in the local waters all year round. Crystal River is the only place in Florida where you can swim with Manatees. During the winter months, hundreds of Manatees head in to warm up and escape the colder temperatures throughout the Gulf of Mexico. We have multiple options in Crystal River for you to enjoy these gentle giants.

For golf lovers, there are several golf courses in the area such as Plantation Golf, and Crystal River Golf course. Just down the road at Fort Island Beach you can enjoy a beautiful sunset and on every second Sunday evening of the month, starting two hours before sunset they perform “Drum Circle” sessions in the evening.

Whatever vibe you are looking for in your dining experience you will find it close by. To name a few: You can catch a game while enjoying the great food and atmosphere at Norton’s Riverside Sports Bar and Grille. The local fishing guides recommend Jimmy’s Seafood Seller as the best seafood restaurant in town. You can enjoy a leisurely wine tasting – or beer tasting – session at Copp Winery & Brewery. We really enjoy breakfast at Grannies Country Cookin". You can cap off your downtown shopping trip with lunch or dinner at BubbaQ’s on Citrus Ave. LOVE the great selection of BBQ deliciousness and their Salad Bar is spectacular. Nearby Homosassa expands your choices in dining and hang out places to add to your selection.

Stay #2 For 2023
Not to sound repetitive BUT this place is AMAZING!!!!! My 3rd stay at this place I have come to know as “home away from home” in Crystal River. Cannot say enough about the owners. Always reachable , responsive and great to rent from. We stayed in April this year and returned again last week to check out the scalloping gig. HIGHLY recommend checking out scalloping and staying at this location. The accommodations provided by Scott and Ann WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!!. The views from the condo are picture worthy and can enjoy the views from the nice deck with great new deck furniture. The people in the community are very nice and friendly. To sum up my review I’m just gonna say….ALREADY RESERVED MY DATES FOR 2024 with Scott and Ann.

Opening scalloping season
The owner is a great communicator and has everything in order. The place is clean and has plenty of boat/trailer parking. 1/4 mile to boat ramp is a plus and short ride from town. Ideal location for me

Wonderful "home away from home" feel. Owners have done a great job sharing a wonderful place to stay
This is our 2nd stay at Scott & Ann Hufford's condo in Crystal River. The owners are wonderful to work with. They have made our last 2 vacations to Crystal River easy. So much so we've already booked to return in July this year. The condo is spacious, well stocked kitchen, beautiful views, comfortable furniture, nice pool, fishing on the premises, nice neighborhood.

Birding Delight!
We had a great stay at this condo. It was well stocked and the host thought of everything needed to enjoy a stay in Crystal River. There is plenty of wildlife in the area. We saw bald eagles, osprey, herons, and many other water birds. The clubhouse pool didn't seem to be heated but we were visiting in winter. Shrimps Landing and Seafood Seller were delicious. Some of us had allergies from past pets in the condo but we are extra sensitive. It wasn't bad, but just something to keep in mind if you're travelling with someone allergic. The view out the back of the condo is magic. You will not be disappointed!

Warm and inviting home!
It was a great place to vacation! Loved having 2 living rooms. Vacationing with an infant it was nice for his parents to be able to go upstairs to their "own" living room to get him to sleep at night. The home has everything you could imagine! Ann and Scott were extremely responses with any questions I had. They were very kind and let us know we could check in early. The sunsets were unbelievable! All of the neighbors were so kind. We took our boat and one of the neighbors gave us permission to use their boat slip while we were visiting. Great places to park your boat. Loved having the downstairs area to sit outside and enjoy. We will be back very soon!

AMAZING STAY
This was our second trip to Crystal River FL. I was excited when I found this condo on VRBO (first time VRBO user as well). The condo and owners did not disappointment AT ALL. Great location. Beautiful views. Very nice, clean, well stocked and comforts of home. Can't say enough of how awesome the owners are. They went above and beyond to make our stay the great stay that it was. The condo complex is great. We enjoyed several days relaxing by the pool which is mere steps from the front door of the cottage. To sum up: READY TO BOOK SAME UNIT FOR NEXT YEARS TRIP!!!!!!!!! Would give 10 stars!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Scott and Ann.

Perfect!
Our family absolutely loved our stay at this condo in Crystal River. The unit was very clean and I was impressed by the organization of all the household products for easy findings. It was so helpful the owners allowed guest to use their abundance of beach toys and chairs, games and bicycles for our use during our stay. The location of property is prefect for everything Crystal River has to offer. Close to the Fort Island Trail Beach, marina for boat rentals, downtown and great local restaurants. My kids enjoy the community where they road bikes, swam and felt so welcomed by all the neighbors. We cannot wait to go back!! Thank you so much for your hospitality, Ann and Scott!

The owners had thought about just about everything. The view was great! Crystal River was a nice area, but the manatees had already left for warmer weather. 😢
