Good to know
Nestled in the charming small town of Crystal River, Ruba's River Retreat (3Rs) is named for my mother, offers an ideal balance of relaxation and fun. 3Rs is closely located to the best of Central Florida: Hunter Springs Park and Three Sisters Springs are two local favorites. Bring your boat – spend your time fishing, scalloping, or day out boating. Bring your kayak - or use ours. Launch directly from the dock at the house. Make it a low-key visit and spend your time splashing in the private pool, tanning in the backyard, lounging on the swing bed, playing games such as Cornhole, or preparing a meal in the fully equipped kitchen. You can have it all at this getaway! ~The space ~ Bedroom 1: King Bed | Bedroom 2: 1 Queen Bed | Living Room: Sleeper Sofa | Florida Room: Sleeper Sofa 2 full bathrooms (1 walk-in and 1 tub/shower combo) Fully equipped kitchen Office area space with high-speed WiFi 2 Smart TVs & 2 standard TVs equipped, all with Roku Sticks Private Screened-In Pool Lanai Room/ Screened Patio Here are a few words from our past guests: Great location for a long weekend of fishing and scalloping. The home was perfect for our friends and us well-stocked kitchen with a great coffee bar, the pool was refreshing after being in saltwater all day, and the home was very clean. The canal to the main river takes about 1/2 hour to meander, but we enjoyed the time in nature. The host was very communicative and made sure we were comfortable and satisfied. – Phillip This is an amazing place. On the water and has a pool. Sandra is super helpful and responsive.
