About this property
5 bed 4.5 bath Big Home on Main River-Amazing Views-Heated Pool-Fire Pit-Kayaks
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 to sit and see the sights.
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.
For the kids and young at heart we have air hockey table and bumper pool set up for hours of entertainment in the garage, Also, we have a large commercial ice maker which makes 350 lbs of ice and hold 250 lbs of ice in the bin. This is perfect for filling the boat or coolers.
Excellent WI-FI in the home. Washer and dryer. Outdoor gas grill and cooking area. Fish cleaning station. 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.

Beautiful home right on Crystal River with plenty of amenities to enjoy without using the car (pool, kayaks, bikes), but close enough to enjoy historic Crystal River shops and restaurants. The kitchen was very well stocked. The owner/host was personable and handled the few small issues quickly!
IT WAS AN IDEAL LOCATION FOR US. NOT FAR FROM THE TOWN AND WITH A GREAT VIEW OF THE RIVER.WE WISH WE COULD TAKE THE POOL HOME. IT WAS SUCH A TREAT TO JUST WALK IN.THE KITCHEN WAS THE MOST AMPLY SUPPLIED KITCHEN WE HAVE RENTED AND EVERYTHING WORKED!WE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OUR MONTHS STAY THERE AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOME.
Once again, we were so pleased by our stay at Crystal River, The waterfront house was simply perfect located on the beauitful Crystal River. We even saw manatees from our dock! The owner, Chris was always available to answer any questions and made sure we were always comfortable. We felt so well taken care of.
Large open spaces, several room and bathroom options. Screened in pool area, grill, and firepit made for a great outdoor experience on the water. Close to town to grab anything you need.
We had a wonderful long weekend at this house. We had plenty of space and enjoyed being on the River. We were able to rent a boat for the weekend and tie up right at the dock. We enjoyed the grill and the fire pit each night. We say many manatees and even a couple of gators on the River. The kitchen is very well stocked. I have already suggested this house to one of my coworkers! We will definitely be back!
Perfection! Super clean and great location. Pool was amazing as was simply everything! We are already looking at rebooking. My favorite VRBO stay ever. Everything was beyond our hopes. It really doesn’t get any better than this.
The house had everything we needed and more, the host was super responsive. Had a great trip! Especially grateful for the screen around the pool making swimming possible on particularly buggy evenings.
This is our second time here, it will not be our last. We have been coming to the area with friends for about 12 years and have stayed at numerous vrbo houses. Everyone said this was the best house so far. 4.5 bathrooms when you have a big group is priceless. The view out back is so beautiful it is hard to describe. It was cool enough to enjoy the firepit and the heated pool at the end of a long day was throughly enjoyed. Dolohins and manatees spotted from the dock, fishing in the backyard, and the list goes on. I give this home 6 stars out of 5!!
This is our second stay at this home. We all found the stay very relaxing. The kids enjoyed the heated pool every day. Always something to do: fishing off dock, catching blue crabs, kayaks (life jackets too) were a plus, relaxing evening around the bon fire. Chris our host was wonderful.
This is the second time we stayed here and this house is top notch! It has everything you need and a perfect location. We even booked this house again next year.
The house was perfect for our short stay in crystal river. Our scallop and fishing guides were able to pick us up right at the house dock each day. if your planning a fishing/scalloping trip to Crystal river this house is great.
The property accommodated all 14 of us with east. Beautiful home on the river. Swimming pool got plenty of use. Would definitely recommend for a group getaway.
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.
We are very familiar with the Crystal River area.The house and furnishing were perfect for our 6 party group with space and accommodations for more if we needed.The location on Crystal River made for beautiful sunrises.We will definitely return for a visit in the future.
Amazing home with an amazing view. Plenty of room for our large group. Super convenient to boat ramp and grocery shopping. Owner and property manager very attentive and accommodating during our recent stay when Hurricane Debby made a brief visit. Love this home!
