About this property

Big Beautiful Newly Renovated Crystal River Home-Main River-Amazing Views-Pool

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.

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.

Peaceful property with lovely views
Ideal property for family holidays. Fully equipped with everything you could need. Great pool. Supermarket and restaurants just a short ride away. Chris the property host was very helpful. We loved our visit to Homosassa Springs to see the Manatees and a Backcountry air boat ride to see dolphins. Perfect!

Beautiful home - great for families
We stayed in April with 6 adults ranging in age from 50 to 80. This is a great home for multiple couples and would also have lots of room for kids & teens. The pool area and lanai are fantastic and we spent a lot of our time out there. The bedrooms are arranged so there is lots of space and privacy between parties. One bedroom is really an in-law suite with kitchen and dining room. There are 2 living room areas. air hockey in the garage. So whether your family wants to spend every minute together or spread out and have some quiet time, this is the perfect house for you. The neighborhood is quiet and I enjoyed morning walks in it. It is also a great location. We even rented a boat and kept it at the dock. Super fun stay! Chris was very responsive to questions and the house was very well appointed with thoughtful touches everywhere.

Great for accommodating large families. Loved the new dock ramp and ice machine for fishing. Nice new big TV and new appliances. Loved the electric stove in place of gas. He has a SUPER new deck area with fire pit and walkway down to boat ramp. Had a blast!!

Wonderful home right on the river. Close to groceries and restaurants. Pool was fabulous. Neighborhood was quiet and wonderful to walk in. Great location for pets. Kayaking the many canals and inlets was the highlight of our trip. Always able to find manatees and many birds. Even saw 2 alligators. Home was clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies, bathroom essentials, even shampoo and body wash. Owner answered all messages promptly and handled our concerns in a timely manner. Would highly recommend this property for short or long stay. We stayed one month.

About the host

We live close in Ocala and have always loved Crystal River. This is a property that definitely requires enjoyment so we decided to share it with others since we can't be here full time. We have another home on same road very close to this one and love the neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

I love large gatherings in this home as it offers private sleeping space for everyone but a large open floor plan for larger group gatherings. The kids have options for bumper pool, air hockey and their own 55' tv for movies in the second living room all while still being close to adults and the center of the house. The river location allows quick and easy access to Three Sisters or the Gulf without the need to time the tides.
