Come for the manatees, stay for the sunsets. Local, family-run vacation rental management — and unforgettable stays on the Nature Coast.
Gulf Coast Escapes is a local, family-run vacation rental management company on Florida's Nature Coast. We started by hosting our own waterfront home on Kings Bay in Crystal River — and loved it so much we now help other owners do the same.
We're not a faceless corporation. When you reach out, real local people answer, and every home is cared for like it's our own. Owners get full-service management; guests get spotless, thoughtfully stocked homes steps from the springs and the Gulf.
Wild, spring-fed, and unforgettable — here's what's waiting right outside the door.
Swim with manatees in Kings Bay — the only place in the U.S. you legally can — and paddle the crystal springs.
Spring-fed rivers, wildlife around every bend, and some of the best inshore fishing on the Gulf.
Summer bay scalloping, golden sunsets, and slow days on the water. Bring a cooler.
Handpicked waterfront stays. Book direct with us and skip the extra platform fees.
Bright waterfront home on Kings Bay with a private dock and complimentary kayaks — steps from the manatees and springs. Inside, a full game room with foosball, ping pong, darts and arcade keeps the whole crew happy after a day on the water.

Beautiful with all the comforts of home and more! The game room and kayaks were our favorites! Communication with the host was the best I have had!Casey S.Verified review · July 2026
The home was beautiful and the location was perfect! So close to town and Three Sisters Springs. The home had everything well stocked and was very clean. Our kids really enjoyed the bonus game room.Allison G.Verified review · December 2025
