By far this was the coolest VRBO we have stayed at. It has a little something for everyone. The location is awesome and the pool was amazing. The proximity to Pete's Pier was super convenient.
This place has it all. Everything was clean and new. The pool, jacuzzi and dock was the perfect combo for fun. Plenty of parking. We will be back next year for sure. Host was responsive and nice. 10 out of 10 experience!
We loved staying at Casa Del Rio! The house is so accommodating. Comfy beds! Loved sitting in the Florida room having my coffee in the morning. Very peaceful setting. Wish we were able to stay longer. Thank you for sharing your home with us :)

Great stay
Always a Wonderful stay, home has plenty of amenities. Pool and hot tub felt great after a long day on the water.Very clean and great communication with the owners.
Impressive house! Host ensured the property was stocked and communicated effectively throughout the stay. We brought our boat and found a ramp near by that made getting it to the property quick and easy. Would love to make this trip yearly!
All went well. Great facility as described online.

Great place to stay
This house provides the opportunity to sit back, relax and enjoy time away. It is spacious and provides a warm setting to spend time with family and friends. The accommodations are above average compared to other places we have stayed. We would recommend it to everyone.
An absolutely beautiful property, Everything is thought of, stocked kitchen to extra pool towels to throws for your lap when watching tv! We ended up on the wonderful enclosed air conditioned porch for dining and hanging out. Hot tub and pool were perfect after being out on the water scalloping. We had two 22 foot boats tied at the dock with no problems and no worry about tides on the canals. Highly recommend and the owner was great to work with and responded within minutes to any questions I had. Will definitely stay again!!
Wow! So impressed with the Casa Del Rio property in Crstal River. The house was absolutely lovely and super clean. It was well appointed with everything we needed and then some. Very spacious accommodations, beautiful clean pool and the canal view was amazing! We took the kayaks out a few times to explore, and it was very calming and fun. Thanks for a great vacation and unforgettable memories! We will be back.
Such a beautiful, clean amd spacious home. Small, quiet neighborhood. Close to town. Easy access to the gulf, even with a larger boat. The scalloping was awesome! We love the very large dock and seawall. We enjoyed the kayaks as well.
Anything you could want or need, this house provided. Angelo and Dawn thought of everything - even down to extra tooth brushes! We came for a scalloping weekend with friends and family will be back. I’ve stayed in a lot of rentals and this one is top notch!
We had a wonderful time, despite some rainy weather, at this vacation home. It was located on a beautiful lot overlooking the canal and the inside of the house was absolutely beautiful. The owner has gone to great lengths to make you feel welcome and had so many extras that I’ve never seen at any other vacation rental. It was very clean, spacious and lovely. We want to go back whenever possible. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with our family.

WOW!
What a place!! Angelo & Dawn have done a superb job making this place feel like home. You have every amenity at your finger tips. The house was very clean and well taken care of. Lots of seating areas to gather around in. If you prefer being outdoors, they have a beautiful outdoor area to relax in including a well kept pool to cool off on a hot day. Communications were spot on. I can't say enough about what a terrific place this was to stay. We will certainly be back.
What an amazing home. This is one of the best VRBO's we have ever stayed in. The host was amazing and very informative giving us everything we needed and more to make sure our stay was amazing. The property is immaculate. The decor is fantastic. The outdoor living space is perfect. From the pool, to the dock for our boat, to the fire pit to make s'smores. If your thinking of bringing your own boat, this is the place to rent. The boat ramp is less than 5 minutes away, the floating dock was perfect, and access to the gulf very close. You are also close to all the waterfront activities you would goto by boat. We can't wait to book our adventure for next year
