CASA DEL SOL OUR HOME IN THE SUN

Are you shopping for the perfect location for your family's vacation, girls weekend, scalloping or fishing trip? If so, look no further! Casa Del Sol checks all the boxes. If your idea of a dream vacation is kicking back and relaxing by the pool, playing with the Manatees, kayaking or limiting out on Red Fish and Scallops, then your quest is over.

Located just below King's Bay on a deep water lagoon, Casa Del Sol is in one of the few neighborhoods in Crystal River that legally allows short term vacation rentals. The video provided is from the river to our dock. A two-minute ride by boat. Our upscale neighborhood consists of several small islands. For kayakers, we are a 30 minute paddle to Three Sister's or Hunter Springs. Don’t have a kayak. No worries, we provide four kayaks for your use. The islands around our home are a kayaker's dream where it is common to encounter dolphin, sea turtles and manatees. Our area is quiet and peaceful unlike the touristy Spring area with its wall-to-wall paddle boarders and kayakers. For boaters and fishermen, our home is just five houses off the main channel on a deep-water lagoon. We are below all the "No Wake Zones" found on Kings Bay - without bridges, tide concerns or long boring canal rides to the main channel and gulf. There's a 24' floating boat dock with whips that will accommodate two boats. We also have a fish cleaning station with lights, electricity and running water. There are two boat launches within five minute of the house. By car, we are located just of Fort Island Trail half-way between Crystal River and Fort Island Trail Beach.

Casa Del Sol is our personal vacation home. When it came time to decorating, we went for a fun, upbeat Caribbean vibe complete with mermaid and octopus bedrooms, and a great bar area all in tropical shades of coral, citron and teal. The home has four full bedrooms (3 King Beds and 2 Twin Beds) and two custom designed bathrooms. The master bath has a large, beautifully appointed, walk-in shower, double sinks and separate water closet.

We put careful consideration into every element of our home. We designed, stocked and furnished the home with our guests in mind. From first-aide kits to beach towels, we have tried to think of everything you might need, and we don't skimp on quantity or quality. Our maintenance team and cleaning staff are fantastic. If something breaks, we fix it and the home is spotless. We have high standards, and we believe in treating our guests as we would want to be treated on our vacation. We are honest, fair and happy to be in a position to share the homes that we have been blessed with. So, take a moment, look at the pictures and check-out Casa Del Sol.

The master bedroom has a 32" flat screen TV.

The kitchen is well stocked with dishes for 12, a host of small appliances including a deep fryer, crock pot, blender, and plenty of pots, pans, serving bowls and stainless steal appliances. The kitchen also has a breakfast bar with seating for four. The dining room has a dining table that seats six.

The home has WiFi and Streaming ROKU TV.

At Casa Del Sol you can fish and watch manatees from the private boat dock. If you enjoy fishing, trout, snapper, cobia and redfish are abundant in the area. Professional guides are available for fishing excursions. Kayakers can pack a snack, board the kayaks - provided with your rental - and head for Three Sister's Spring - for a day of sight- seeing and Manatee watching. Manatees frequent our cove and can be seen from the dock along with other area wildlife. At the end of the day relax by the pool. Whatever you decide to do during your stay, you and your family are sure to go home with lifelong memories from their stay at Casa Del Sol - our home in the sun!

THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL $25.00 PER NIGHT, PER PERSON FEE FOR PARTIES OVER 8. WE ALLOW A MAXIMUM OF 10 GUESTS INCLUDING CHILDREN AND ADULTS.

ALSO CHECK OUT CASA DEL RIO VRBO # 902267 - A four bedroom, two bath canal front home in the same wonderful neighborhood. It is located just five houses from Casa Del Sol. Rent them both for family reunions.

Casa Del Sol
Casa Del Sol is Very much like home! We had a fantastic time at this lovely place! It's very quiet & pet friendly neighborhood in beautiful location. The home had everything you need. Beautiful and spacious fully equipped kitchen, lovely bedrooms & bathrooms, very clean with welcoming decorations. Screened in lanai, pool, hot tub, boat dock and kayaks. You name it! Our family went kayaking, boating, fishing and swimming with so many manatees. We had an amazing time and I would highly recommend this lovely place to our friends and family! Thank you for sharing Casa del Sol with us! :)

Excellent vacation home!
Our family really enjoyed staying at Teri’s home. It was beautiful and conveniently located. It also had everything that we needed. We have stayed in many over the years but this one was a “step above”. We will definitely be back!!!

Very spacious, clean and view of the sunset!
We had a two family gathering, plenty of space for all. Kitchen fully stocked with anything we needed. House, pool, hot tub and outdoor dock is very clean. Fishing was awesome! We caught numerous fish, shark and we even saw two manatee. Host was very prompt in responding to questions prior to booking and very gracious when I asked to be accommodated for an item. We loved our stay and hope to return soon!

Great vacation!
A wonderful time was had by the entire family. We thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and fishing off the dock every day. The house comes very well stocked with soap, paper towels, toilet paper, beach towels etc. the pictures online do not do the house justice. It is just lovely. We saw manatees almost every day off the dock and even caught some crabs. I would definitely recommend this house and plan to book here again in the future. Host was very responsive!

Wonderful property
We are a family of 4, kids 10 & 12 who stayed at the house over spring break. I was so impressed with the house. Everything you can imagine was available. Tons of bath towels, beach towels, kitchen items, toilet paper, paper towel, coffee, laundry detergent, etc. Great neighborhood & location! We used the kayaks to find manatee, fished off the dock & caught lots of catfish, swam & used the hot tub. My husband had to work one of the days, Wi-Fi was excellent & so was cell service. House was very clean upon arrival. We also spent a day at Busch Gardens & another on a fishing charter. So much fun! My only “con” is the squeaky twin beds off the master. My kids slept in there & every time they moved the squeaky beds would wake me up. In hind sight, I should have just moved them to one of the other bedrooms! Highly recommend this house!

Casa del Sol - Perfect home, perfect location, perfect vacation!
Casa del Sol was the perfect home, in the perfect location, for my husband and I to enjoy three weeks of bliss in Crystal River! The neighborhood was very quiet and incredibly beautiful! The home had every amenity available one could ever need! While it was too cool to take a dip in the pool, we thoroughly enjoyed the screened in lanai, hot tub, boat dock, gas grill and kayaks. If we could rate this home 10 stars, we would! The owners were absolutely amazing, responding almost immediately to our every question! When the refrigerator stopped working, they made another refrigerator available to us within the hour and arranged to have a brand new refrigerator delivered and installed the very next day! A miraculous feat to accomplish, we don’t know how owner Teri managed to pull that one off! Swimming with the manatees was truly the highlight of our trip! We loved it so much, we went three times. We highly recommend taking a semi-private or private tour to swim with those magnificent creatures. Our favorite company was Fun2Dive. There are so many things to do in the Crystal River area. We hiked, biked, kayaked, bird-watched, took an airboat ride and enjoyed watching the sunset at the Fort Island Trail Beach. There are so many wonderful parks and trails in the area, get outside and enjoy them all. Be sure to visit Three Sisters Springs and Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. For day trips, Busch Gardens and the Tampa Zoo were well worth the trips. If you enjoy fishing, we highly recommend a trip to the quaint fishing village of Cedar Key. We ate our weight in seafood during our vacation. Some of our favorites were Seafood Sellers, The Plant (loved their red royal shrimp and key lime pie), and The Freezer (hole in the wall place but incredible clam chowder and boiled shrimp). Thank you for sharing Casa del Sol with us! It was our best VRBO experience to date and we have stayed in a lot of different homes the past few years!

Beautiful house, great location for an extended family Thanksgiving
Casa del Sol is a lovely house situated directly on the water in a dog-friendly neighborhood, perfect for a large group that does not mind sharing bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked for meals in, including Thanksgiving (which we purchased pre-cooked from Publix), and the local restaurants we sampled were very good. We used the kayaks one day and rented a pontoon boat on another and drove it right up to the dock before heading out on the river for fishing, where we caught snapper and snook - our son also fished directly from the dock for hours, catching a bunch of catfish. We saw many manatees and a large variety of birds, both in the river and at Three Sisters Springs. I would not hesitate to visit again!
