Crystal River, the Nature Coast
“Immerse yourself in serenity with our tranquil family-friendly retreat.”
Lisa, your host
The house sits on a quiet cul-de-sac just off the main highway, with woods on two sides. The whole property is yours for the stay, apart from the garage.
Inside, it is coastal and calm: wildlife art, an oyster mirror, a coffee station and a kitchen that guests call the best stocked they have stayed in. Outside is where most families spend the trip.
The pool
A private pool, heated as part of the stay, with loungers on the deck and lights for night swims.
“The water was warm in February and our toddler probably jumped in 200+ times over the course of our 3 days.” Kevin, February 2026.
The backyard
A gazebo lounge, dining under the umbrella, a grill, a fire pit with Adirondack chairs, and cornhole on the grass.
The yard is fenced, which guests with dogs mention again and again. Up to two pets are welcome.
Inside
“This was the most well-stocked Airbnb I’ve stayed at. Lisa thought about everything we could possibly need.” Cynthia, February 2026.
Around Crystal River
Lisa’s own list: natural springs, swimming with the manatees, kayaking, paddleboarding, diving, scalloping, fishing charters, boat tours and airboat rides.
There is a quaint little downtown with great seafood, a little beach with beautiful sunsets at Fort Island, and golf at the Plantation Resort on Crystal River, about a mile and a half from the house. The house has inflatable paddleboards and life jackets, so you can head out and explore the springs.
Live from Homosassa Springs
Live cameras in the spring at Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, about 15 minutes from the house. Manatee season runs November through March, when they gather in the warm spring water.
Cameras by Save the Manatee Club and Explore.org. They go offline now and then for maintenance; if the picture is dark or paused, check back later.

“The keurig died first day we arrived, but Lisa had one door dashed by 8 am next day. Wow, that’s service.”
“The fenced backyard was ideal for my dog. Homeowner was very helpful in recommending restaurants and boat for our sightseeing, manatees and sunset trip out on the water.”
“Loved all the little touches from the wildlife art and the oyster mirror. The pool was heated and the temperature was great.”
“Our first time visiting Crystal River. Very convenient to restaurants and springs. The pool was an added bonus.”
