Boasting garden views, Tranquil Awareness and Happiness provides accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 16 km from Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.

Location was great !! So close to Crystal River and Homasasa, two places we wanted to be! It's peaceful that you can have your own quiet private area as opposed to a hotel . Such a close drive to all amenities. Had everything we needed. Bed was very comfy! Great glamping

Boasting free bikes, garden and views of garden, The Three Sisters - Crystal River FL is situated in Crystal River, 12 km from Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.

Great location close to the key areas of Crystal River. Very well equipped unit, with everything that you might need. Lots of extras provided like coffee pods and toiletries, that were more than expected. Some restaurants were within walking distance, which was a bonus.

This was truly amazing! The camper had everything you need (big bedroom, bathroom,fully equipped kitchenette). And even a big tv and big sofa chairs. Outside there was this nice place where we could bbq, build a fire and relax. And as a bonus our own swimming pool!

    Two days in good weather is pleanty of time in Crystal River. Three Sisters Springs and Homosassa Springs are the only real highlights. The weather was perfect for manatee viewing and we saw at least fifty in Three Sisters and about a dozen at Homosassa. At both places the water is so clear you get a great view. "Downtown" Crystal River is ver small with a few touristy shops. We ate at Amy's on the Avenue on a quiet patio; the food was very good. We saw many people swimming "with" manatees but they are crodoned off and unless a manatee happened to swim near, they weren't actually close. We preferred seeing them from shore and they were within a few feet.

    Comfortable temperatures for first week of February!

    Comfortable temperatures for first week of February! Cool nights, greatly warmer days! Vibe is very easy going. Plenty of restaurants-had lunch at a very nice Italian Deli-Cappo's and another day lunch at Cody's-around for many years!. Stayed at Professor Rousseau's on the lake! Gulf Beach was closed while they were correcting it from the past hurricanes and surge. But, there is a great seafood lunch venue on the road to the beach that was closed Monday and Tuesday...great view of water and Pelicans there!

    As recommended by the tour guides, make sure on visiting mid-Jan/late-Feb to ensure a great experience swimming and snorkeling while manatees are around, with the possible activities, I would say a 3-night stay would be great. Getting around the facilities is easy, nearby restaurants are good. Favorite spot definitely the pool, big enough to not feel crowded and with plenty of tables and chairs for everyone. Have fun.

    I learned so much about the manatees while I was there and was able to swim with them! Truly an unforgettable experience. Homosassa Wildlife State Park was beautiful and what they are doing for the animals is wonderful. Pictures don't even do it justice! And the people in the area were just so kind :) Also, soooo many waterfront restaurants to choose from that were not expensive but had good quality food and no wait times. I was shocked, especially seeing that it was a holiday weekend!

    We had heard about the large number of manatees in Crystal River and came with high expectations, only to discover that spotting these gentle creatures was not easy. On the first day, we booked an afternoon tour and spent two hours searching for manatees until we finally found a mother and her calf in one of the city canals. Unfortunately, the water conditions were not ideal—it was cloudy and contaminated with landscaping grass clippings. To make matters worse, a heavy rainstorm hit just as we arrived, cutting our excursion short. Determined not to give up after traveling such a long distance, we booked another tour. However, the second attempt was no more successful. Despite searching for three hours, the captain couldn't find any manatees until we returned to the same spot as the previous day. Just as we located one, it was time to head back. Apparently, the captain had a schedule to keep. While we did manage to see the manatees briefly, I cannot recommend this activity. The experience felt rushed and the captain and guide were clearly frustrated. Although we understand that these are wild animals and sightings can't be guaranteed, it seems that their numbers are dwindling, making the promise of swimming with them increasingly rare.

    We were in crystal river for swimming with manatees. Location is very close by & convenient. Very welcoming staff and entry area - quiet, lots of comfy chairs, drinks, snacks. Our room had a big very comfortable bed, great pillows. Everything worked and staff were very helpful. Breakfast was decent too.

    We were visiting Crystal River for Manatee swim as part of a longer stay in Florida. Nice change of pace from Orlando. Room was great, well equipped, owners excellent hospitality. Wish we’d had a bit more time to spend there.
