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.

-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

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!

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.

Family get away
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

Great time in Crystal River
We loved the house. Very clean. Launched kayaks from dock in backyard daily. Host thought of small details that made our stay stress and hassle free such as extra propane tanks for the patio fire pit, stocked spices and even several first aid kits.

Loved Crystal River and this house!
This house was perfect for our family! The heated pool was awesome as the weather was in the 60’s. Being able to kayak from the backyard was cool and the house overall was great to stay in. We are definitely thinking about coming back to this property, which would be the first time we’ve ever stayed at a place more than once.

Quiet comfortable getaway
Excellent communication with owner. Question about fire table quickly answered, even at night. Easy breezy check in. The neighborhood is super quiet, comfy beds! The home is decorated with details everywhere. Kitchen is fully stocked. You truly feel like you are on vacation. The kayaks were great. So were the bikes. Walking distance to the archeological park and state preserve. I would recommend this home and hope to be back soon!!!
