We have March 2025 dates-Big Home Crystal River-Main River-Amazing Views-Pool

Manatee Manor is a beautiful newly renovated 4 bed, 4.5 bath ranch with two primary suites. Has a beautiful outdoor area with screened in HEATED pool and large backyard. This house sits right on the main river (Crystal River) and has two boat docks, a great view down river toward Three Sisters and Hunter Springs. We have just done a large outdoor paving path with large wood fire pit. A great place during the day or at night.

When you first walk into this house you will notice the large open area, beautiful travertine flooring with plenty of room for all.

To the right you will find a new big spacious kitchen with new granite countertops, new appliances, a large prep space and seating. This area has a large dining room table with seating for 10 people and a wet/coffee bar area. The kitchen if fully stocked and you will find everything you need when prepping and cooking meals.

There is plenty of room in the main living room for all to relax on the sectionals and reclining couches. There is a large flat screen tv with big windows with views of the pool and the river.

You can exit the living room to the screened in heated pool area. In the winter months the heater can be run for a small daily charge. This area is large with plenty of seating, lounge chairs and even a large table to eat outside and enjoy the views and the weather. This area will become one of the main hang out spots during your stay. You are close to the covered gilling area, with a view of the boat docks and the outdoor firepit. You can watch the kids play in the pool or keep an eye on them while they fish off the two boat docks from the pool area.

Walking out of screened in pool area you will find the covered gilling area with lights, this is very nice when the weather isn't cooperating with you.

We have a very nice and large paver area with plenty of seating and a wood fire pit where you can sit and enjoy the view, watch the boats go by or just relax. Plenty of seating and tables so you enjoy each other's company and a meal. Again, you can watch the kids fish off the dock or swim in the pool right behind you while enjoying the outdoor patio area.

Going back inside.......this house has some amazing and well thought out bedrooms.
The first primary bedroom is very large and offers two queen size beds, a flat screen tv, a sitting area and its own private kitchenette. The private bath has a soaking tub, walk-in shower, walk-in closet and double vanities. This bedroom has an attached kitchenette with a stove, a full size fridge, microwave and coffee (keurig) maker. The bedroom/sitting area has french doors which open up to the screened in pool deck and unobstructed views of the river.

The second primary bedroom offers a king size bed, a flat screen tv, and a big walk-in closet. There is an attached bathroom with large vanity. This bedroom also has french doors which open up to the screened in pool deck.

The third bedroom has a queen bed, flat screen tv and a large closet.

The fourth bedroom has another queen bed, large closet and a flat screen tv. These two bedrooms share large "Jack & Jill" bathroom with two vanities and a tub/shower combo.

If you want to get away from the people and the noise, there is a second living room with a large flat screen tv, big sectional and two bunk beds (twin over full). This room is perfect for the kids when traveling with the family or multiple families.

There are two other bathrooms in the main area of the house, one being a full bathroom with beautiful walk-in shower and the other a half bath.

Excellent WI-FI in the home.
Washer and dryer.

Two paddle boards and four kayaks for your adventures. You are close to the springs!!!!

Manatee manor sits on Watersedge Drive, one of the best streets in Crystal River. It is quite and you will see people walking dogs or riding bikes. It has many beautiful homes and is peaceful and safe. It is worth the time to walk or take a leisurely stroll as there is much to see. There are active osprey nesting in the area and many other native birds to see.

Another Fantastic Stay!
Each January we travel to Crystal River with a group of 14 women to swim with the Florida manatees. Its a high energy week and finding the right place to " call home" is really important. The waterfront house on Watersedge Dr is absolutely perfect for large groups. The shared living space is ideal for a group with plenty of comfy chairs and couches with a huge TV set. The rooms are all so well appointed and the kitchen is so easy to navigate. Sunrises are stunning over the water and the backyard is complete with a dock, kayaks, grilling station, lounge chairs and a fire pit.Our host, Chris was always available to answer questions before our arrival and during the trip. It is without hesitation that I recommend this beautiful spacious home for your next family gathering.

Spectacular!
Had an absolute blast at this home! Our highlights were definitely the pool, kayaking with dolphins and manatees, fishing, and just relaxing by the fire pit. House was well furnished (way more than what we were expecting) and the host was amazing with communication and answering any questions we had.

This was a great house for our family Christmas. We needed a place where all family members could stay, and this house had more than enough room for all of us. We cooked, baked and played games. There was room for all of us to sit and watch tv at night in the comfortable recliner sofas.

Holiday Family Gathering
Perfect home for our Family. Newly renovated home that had everything we needed. Very well laid out home for all of our guest. We enjoyed the heated pool and patio. We were also able to relax by the firepit with our entire family. The dock worked great for us to use our boat and enjoyed exploring and seeing the manatees. We were able to watch the Christmas boat parade from the back patio. The host was very informative and answered all of our questions.I would highly recommend staying here!

Scalloping Trip
We had a wonderful time at this house. Plenty of room for all 9 of us. The pool was great after a hot day on the water. The cleaning company could have done a better job. There was butter or something greasy on the handles in the kitchen. So, I then had to wipe them all down because clearly that was not done. The dishwasher was not emptied and some of the dishes and pots and pans were dirty. There also isn't any type of mixing/food prep bowls, only fancy glass bowls. Overall the house was great besides having to clean stuff before using it especially since we have to pay cleaning fee.

Spacious home with bonus kitchen
Very nice home. Owner was willing to send assistance when an issue arose but was considerate of not disrupting our vacation. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the house and the kitchen off of the master bedroom was very convenient. The location was quiet and peaceful. We probably wouldn't rent the home again due to the patio space. The pebble flooring was coming apart. It was painful to walk on it barefoot. We removed the pool cleaner to swim because the kids didn't want to swim with the "monster" in the pool. The owner asked us not to keep it disconnected for long so the pool water would stay clear so we reconnected it at the end of each day but didn't care for the responsibility; the plastic was brittle and coming apart. The patio tables were not cleaned prior to our arrival. We found cigarette butts, food crumbs and fish scales on the tables. The inside of the home was clean.

Beautiful home - great for families
We stayed in April with 6 adults ranging in age from 50 to 80. This is a great home for multiple couples and would also have lots of room for kids & teens. The pool area and lanai are fantastic and we spent a lot of our time out there. The bedrooms are arranged so there is lots of space and privacy between parties. One bedroom is really an in-law suite with kitchen and dining room. There are 2 living room areas. air hockey in the garage. So whether your family wants to spend every minute together or spread out and have some quiet time, this is the perfect house for you. The neighborhood is quiet and I enjoyed morning walks in it. It is also a great location. We even rented a boat and kept it at the dock. Super fun stay! Chris was very responsive to questions and the house was very well appointed with thoughtful touches everywhere.
