Tour the home

Room to spread out, reasons to stay in

Every photo below is the real house — not staging. Two bedrooms, a Florida room, a game corner, and a screened private pool out back.

The Private Pool

The Private Pool

Screened, private, and all yours — cool off after a day on the springs, then claim a lounger while dinner's on the gas grill.

Florida Room & Game Corner

Florida Room & Game Corner

Sectional, queen Murphy bed, and the family gauntlet: cornhole, Jenga, Connect 4, and an old-school Pac-Man arcade.

The Bedrooms

The Bedrooms

A king adjustable bed in the master, a queen in bedroom two, and a Pack & Play and high chair tucked in the closet for the littlest guests.

Coastal Living Room

Coastal Living Room

Recliners, a pull-out bed, and room for the whole crew to land after a day of manatees and monkeys.

Kitchen & Coffee Bar

Kitchen & Coffee Bar

Equipped for the full family meal, with a K-pod coffee bar — your first morning's cup (creamer and sugar too) is on the house.

The Beach Bath

The Beach Bath

Starfish and seashells, towels provided, tub and shower — everything reset and spotless for every stay.

Sleeps 10, honestly

Five real beds, not five air mattresses

Manatee Springs sleeps ten across five actual beds — so the whole family group fits without anyone drawing the short straw.

It's not just a place to sleep. It's your home base for a Florida adventure — a family vacation, a friends' getaway, a fishing trip, or a spring adventure.

  • King adjustable bed — master bedroom
  • Queen bed — bedroom two
  • Pull-out sofa bed — living room
  • Full-size sectional bed — Florida room
  • Queen Murphy bed — Florida room
  • Pack & Play + high chair for the little ones

Fur babies welcome

Bring the dogs — this house was built for them

A big fenced backyard, an XL doggy door in the back door, and a gate right outside so your babies stay close to the house at night.

And Florida is dog-friendly at almost every place — restaurants included — so nobody stays home. Two pets welcome.

Out the front door

The Nature Coast is the amenity

Crystal River Preserve State Park is a one-minute walk from the front door. From November to March, put a kayak in less than a mile away and swim free with the manatees — or launch at Monkey Island and check out the monkeys on the Homosassa River.

Three Sisters Springs is six minutes away, Hunter Spring Park seven, and Fort Island Gulf Beach twenty-one. Kayaks are included with the house, so the day trips start in the driveway.

This area is a blast — always something to do every day.
