About this property

Pristine waterfront home w/heated pool, 4kayaks, dock, outdoor kitchen, manatees

Welcome to Casa Del Rio. Our professionally decorated home with a fun coastal flare is located in an upscale, private neighborhood just off Fort Island Trail in Crystal River, FL. Location is everything and Rio is only minutes to Hwy 19, Three Sister's Springs, Plantation Golf Course, biking and hiking trails, downtown tourist dining and shopping and Fort Island Trail Beach.

Our home has four large bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms, a solar heated/screened, saltwater swimming pool, large outdoor kitchen with high-end gas barbeque, Smart TV, granite counters and sink. A gourmet indoor kitchen with new commercial appliances to include ice maker and wine cooler. There's a large dock for your boat or fishing and a fenced yard for furry friends.

This is our "river house" and not just someone's rental house. We take pride in every inch of it. The furniture, beds and all appliances are brand new. Everything is high end catering to sophisticated tastes, with original artwork from area artists and an eye for detail. We want you to enjoy Casa Del Rio as much as we do, and we put great effort into assuring that your stay will be enjoyed by all.

The bonus room overlooks the canal with a wet bar, sitting area, high top table and 42" Smart TV. The home has great natural flow and is designed for entertaining and dining.

OUTDOOR AMENITIES
The outdoor kitchen is a fantastic place to gather with friends - the 50" flat screen TV is great for football games or the morning news. This area also has a full sink, gas grill, granite counter tops, ceiling fans to keep the no-see-ums at bay and lighting. Sit back, have a cup of coffee and watch the morning news from this vantage point. You never know who might swim by in the canal - dolphins, manatees and an assortment of coastal birds frequent our backyard.

The large dock easily accommodates two boats, kayaks or jets skis. The canal is subject to tides but is appropriate for pontoon boats, bay boats, kayaks and low draft skiffs. It joins the bottom of Kings Bay after a scenic 10-minute boat ride at idle speed and there are no bridges to worry about. The home comes with 4 kayaks and life jackets. You can kayak to the Springs in 30 to 45 minutes depending on wind and tides. There's great fishing off the dock and manatees and dolphins frequent the canal. The area is great for kayakers, fishing and nature lovers.

If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, get away - perfect for family get-togethers or a romantic interlude then look no further than Casa Del Rio!

The Snowbird Rate requires a minimum 29 -night stay.

Great accommodations!
The home worked perfectly for our adult friends to try some scalloping as well as our grandchildren when they were there. The pool is definitely an added bonus! Great dock and cleaning station were nice to have too. Nice quiet neighborhood. Great communication with the owner/manager.

About the host

Hosted by Teri Burns

Host profile image
We are two couples who purchased our first property together just up the street from Casa Del Rio (River House) and affectionately named it Casa Del Sol (House of the Sun) in 2015. Having enjoyed our first house, we decided to purchase a second home with the hopes that we would one day retire to Crystal River and have separate homes within walking distance of each other. In the Spring of 2016, we purchased Casa Del Rio and since that time, we have successfully shared both homes with families like our own - people that love nature, getting away from the hustle of daily life and know the importance of family and friends. Through the years, we have definitely experienced ups and downs including two hurricanes that flooded both houses. Although difficult to endure, both times we were able to remodel, update and come back better than before. The homes are our labor of love, that having reached retirement age, we hope to share and enjoy for many, many more years.

Why they chose this property

Casa Del Rio is perfectly located mid-way to Manatee viewing at Three Sister's Springs or World Class Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Nature lovers will enjoy the tranquil, private setting and lush tropical yard. The home is upscale, peaceful and everything is top notch. It's a neighborhood of million-dollar homes and is perfect for walking, jogging or bicycling. If you are looking for mornings fishing, afternoons kayaking or playing with the kids in the pool, evenings entertaining in the outdoor kitchen, and a tranquil, relaxing atmosphere then look no further than Casa Del Rio.

What makes this property unique

Casa Del Rio is just 4 houses from our sister home - Casa Del Sol - VRBO #691163. Rent both homes for family get-togethers or reunions. Enjoy Casa Del Sol's fun, up-beat, Mediterranean atmosphere, hot tub, screened pool and deep-water dock one day and Casa Del Rio's sophisticated, coastal atmosphere, outdoor kitchen and beautiful canal setting the next day. It's the best of both worlds within walking distance.
