Jacuzzi, après une journée dans les dunes, maison de 5 chambres, kayaks de rivière, plages

Gorgeous location, details don't match the priceCrystal River frontage is rare and the outdoor setup delivers - dock, fire pit, sand beach, five kayaks. Worth knowing: you're 50 feet from the main road into Glen Arbor. Traffic runs dawn to dusk, not the quiet woods the photos suggest.The hot tub is in the name of this rental. Upon arrival it was green and full of dirt, cover busted. Tech confirmed it hadn't been serviced in a month. After cleaning it was so over-chlorinated we used it once all week.Cleanliness was a miss. Dusty baseboards, insect-filled window sills, visible pieces of tape and banner remnants still on walls -- not residue, actual signage any walkthrough should have caught. Cheese on the grill from a previous guest. Outdoor furniture too dirty to sit on day one. Weeds and debris throughout the exterior. Rechargeable amenities dead on arrival. Ceiling fan remotes worked in some rooms, not others.Supplies stocked for a couple, not 13 guests. No tissues, no pods in the second floor dishwasher, six pods total downstairs -- one per night. Neither fridge kept up with ice. We bought it all week. A 100 credit was offered for the ice situation but never delivered.No firewood for what is genuinely a great fire pit. At 7 a bundle you're spending 20-30 a night. Have a cord delivered a couple times a season.Host responded fast but felt AI-generated and missed the point.You're paying for the location, which is real. The house isn't keeping up with the rate

This is a beautiful location on the crystal river. We enjoyed using the kayaks to paddle up and down and my two boys love the sand on the beach. We had a little situation with some unexpected fire alarms, the first night, but the team worked hard the next day to fix everything.We would definitely stay here again

We had a great stay. House was immaculate. Had all amenities and more. Very well stocked. All beds were comfortable. Perfect for two families. The kids had so much fun using the kayaks. The backyard was an amazing spot to hang out. The price was higher than we usually spend on a vacation rental but we felt it was worth it in this case. I would highly recommend this house.

We loved the place! We had seven children with us ranging in ages from 6 to 14. They all had a great time, with the river and kayaks in the backyard. And Lake Michigan practically in the back yard. The landscaping around the house was very nice, and the backyard was amazing. With four families, we got use out of the two full kitchens. The host was very responsive to any questions. We would definitely go back!

This a lovely, recently updated home that was well equipted for our stay. We loved walking to The Mill, Homestead, and Glen Arbor.
