We booked a month-long stay during manatee season in this property, but had to leave one week early due to the loss of a dear friend back home. We really enjoyed the stay for many reasons. PROS: The location cannot be beat! The house is on Kings Bay, with dock access on two sides, and nice outdoor space to enjoy for dining, + a fire pit for nighttime ambiance and hot dog / marshmallow roasting. The kitchen is well equipped, and very spacious, and had utensils and some basic cooking supplies (oil, salt, pepper, coffee, sugar, etc) There were ample small appliances in the kitchen in good condition and easy to use. The owner left supplies that made keeping up on the long-stay housekeeping easy.
The master suite was deluxe with a walk-in, open shower that had plenty of hot water, and a large walk-in closet. (We never had any problem having hot water anywhere in the house!) There was plenty of space to store everything. The guest bedroom was also large, with plenty of storage, while the third bedroom was smaller. The living room was large, plenty of seating and each room had smart TV's. We were very pleased with the accommodation! Con: We were a little confused by the TV's operations, but the host came over the first night and helped us figure out the main TV and we were able to use it the rest of our stay. (operator error :-) Use of the Kayaks was a wonderful addition to this home - we used them 5 times during our stay, and the paddle boards as well. We entered and exited the kayaks from the back side of the front dock and had no issues. The paddling with the manatees is magical and the reason we came to Crystal River, and we were not disappointed. We would return to Frank's house without hesitation!
(I tried to include my photos, but couldn't figure out how to make that work. Be reassured: The home was clean and easy to enjoy during our stay. )
