For anyone who loves daydreaming on Zillow, one recent listing in Florida might just top them all — especially if you’re an animal lover.
The Crystal Blue Lagoon Bed & Breakfast in Crystal River, Florida, has just hit the market for $3.3 million.
Whether you're looking to continue operating a charming waterfront inn or turn it into your own private slice of paradise, this place has everything — ocean-inspired decor, breathtaking views, and one very unexpected perk.
It comes with manatees. Lots of them.
The home is built right on top of its own freshwater spring, where the water stays a comfortable 72 degrees year-round.
That warm water draws dozens of manatees from November through March — also known as manatee season — who gather here to relax, float, and socialize in the protected sanctuary.
“This spring is protected by the Fish and Wildlife as a manatee refuge,” the Zillow listing notes. “Many rescues of manatee are done at these springs by the Fish and Wildlife.”
During the winter months, the gentle giants make this spot their seasonal hangout, offering an incredible front-row seat to their underwater world.
Guests at the bed and breakfast — and maybe, soon, its future owners — can step outside and watch manatees in their natural habitat, right from the backyard.
The house is being sold fully furnished, complete with manatee-themed decor, making it truly move-in ready for someone whose dream home includes both waterfront views and wildlife magic.
So if your ideal home has a bit more blubber and whimsy than usual, this manatee-filled oasis might just be your dream come true.
