Airbnb and Vrbo add a guest service fee on top of the nightly rate, charged to you at checkout. Book through us and that fee isn't part of the bill — you're paying the people who actually run the house.
Same beds, same dock, same kayaks. Fewer hands in the middle.
View Vacation RentalsRates vary by season and platform fees change over time, so we won't promise we're always the lowest number on the internet — but the direct rate is the one we'd quote a neighbour, and there's no service fee stacked on top.
Waterfront homes in Crystal River, looked after by the people who live here.
Bright waterfront home on a Kings Bay canal with a private dock, boat and trailer parking, and complimentary kayaks — steps from the manatees and springs. Inside, a big game room and sunroom keep the whole crew happy after a day on the water.

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.
