Browsing dream houses on Zillow is a guilty pleasure pastime for so many people, and recently, a house was posted for sale on the site that almost seems too good to be true — especially for all the animal lovers out there.

The Crystal Blue Lagoon Bed & Breakfast, located in Crystal River, Florida, is currently listed for sale on Zillow for $3,300,000. Prospective buyers can purchase this gem and keep it as a lucrative business or use it as their very own dream home instead. The decor really leans into the ocean theme, and the whole house boasts spectacular water views — but it’s what happens outside that really makes this place special.
The house is located on its own freshwater spring that keeps the water at a nice 72 degrees all year round — which attracts dozens and dozens of manatees.
From around November 15 until March 31, also known as manatee season, this house is surrounded by happy, friendly manatees all coming together to relax in the warm water. The house is basically a manatee playground where you can watch them in their natural habitat whenever you want, making it a true dream house.

“Winter cool weather in the gulf attracts the manatee to the warm springs, [and] this spring is protected by the Fish and Wildlife as a manatee refuge,” the house description on Zillow reads. “Many rescues of manatee are done at these springs by the Fish and Wildlife.”
People come from all over to stay at the bed and breakfast and be surrounded by adorable manatees, and now, a lucky family or group of manatee-loving friends could have this paradise all to themselves. The house is being sold as is with all of its manatee-themed decor included, making it a move-in ready experience.
Everyone has an idea of what their dream house might look like, and if yours happens to include manatees, you just might be able to make that dream a reality.

’10 Little Babies’ Wait In Blanket-Covered Crate By Highway, Hoping Someone Stops
“It was only by a miracle that somebody noticed them …”
By Ashley Ortiz
When Suzette Hall first heard about a wire crate covered with a blanket near a busy freeway on April Fool’s Day morning, she hoped it was a prank. But as the experienced dog rescuer and founder of Logan’s Legacy 29 continued to read descriptions of whimpers coming from beneath the blanket, her heart sank.
“I rescued [four] dogs on Christmas in this same spot,” Hall wrote on Facebook.
Hall rushed to the highway with her friend Becks Goodman and soon located a purple zebra print blanket in an enclosed area nearby. As they got close, they were shocked by what they found.
“We literally couldn’t believe it when we lifted up the blanket,” Hall wrote. “10 little babies left abandoned, and still, they were wiggling their little tails.”
The rescuers anticipated finding at least one or two animals in the crate, but seeing 10 tiny faces staring back at them was devastating. The pups’ cries were drowned out by the sound of cars and trucks, which led Hall to believe they might never have been found without the help of the Good Samaritan who called her.
“It was only by a miracle that somebody noticed them because they heard barking,” Hall wrote. “[I]t’s literally right by the freeway and nothing else around. Nobody driving by would’ve even thought to look.”
The dogs were in rough condition — with injuries and bare, inflamed skin — but they were all alive. And Hall promised that she would do everything to ensure they thrived from that moment on.
Hall drove the dogs, named Barry, Scooby, Eggo, E.T., Piglet, Chicken, Elvis, Banana, Eeyore and Pooh Bear, to the vet, where they each underwent extensive medical exams. The vet team soon determined that many were seniors, and most would need extensive treatment plans, but they all received good prognoses overall.
With some love and medicine, they would soon be OK.
The pack of dogs soon went off to their respective medical foster homes, where they could continue their treatments and feel the love they always deserved. Just over two weeks since their rescue, the pups are all thriving.
“Their hair is starting to grow back,” Hall wrote on Facebook. “Sweet little babies.”
Once they’ve fully recovered, the family of survivor dogs will be available for adoption. Until then, they’ll keep soaking up all the love their foster families have to give and forgetting their traumatic past.
“These little miracles are so thankful,” Hall wrote.
To inquire about adopting any of these dogs, reach out to Suzette Hall on Facebook.
To help pups like these get the help they need, you can donate to Logan’s Legacy here.
