    Beautiful location. Exceptional bird watching right outside the back door.
  • Eleanor

    It was situated away from the centre of town in a quiet and peaceful location. The property itself is like the scene in Labyrinth where Sarah steps through a portal in the junkyard and arrives home in her own bedroom. What a contrast, you would...

    I enjoyed the mermaid decor it was cozy, the card games and puzzles, the beautiful view of the canal, the different types of birds you see every day, and the fire pit table was a nice relaxing time and making dinner on the BBQ pit was good night.

Neighbourhood information

Crystal River is best known as one of the few places in the world that vacationers may swim alongside the manatees in person during their winter refuge at Hunter Springs Park and Kings Bay. Hunter Springs Park features a sandy beach for swimmers, a kayak launch, a picnic area, plus a boardwalk for viewing manatees. Kings Bay also has a kayak launch, fishing pier, and three waterfront restaurants serving seafood, often fresh off the boat from the two waterfront fishing operations. Within a few blocks of these two iconic manatee hangouts are several incredible restaurants, cafes, and unique shopping venues on North Citrus Avenue. One of Professor Rousseau’s favorite places to shop and dine is Amy’s. Another City close by is Dunnellon. For those of you that have decided to launch your boat and travel to the Withlacoochee and Rainbow Rivers, two notable restaurants are the Blue Gator Tiki Bar and Swampy’s. Leave early to grab your boat parking spot during busy seasons! Professor Rousseau’s favorite hometown place to eat is Citrus Grill on Pennsylvania Avenue. The menu has many tasty options, and you will love the owners. Tell Debbie hello for us! Check out the menus for these restaurants and more in your Mermaid Lagoon Home Book.
