If location is important to you, then this is the place to be. This 2 story, 2 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath home (sleeps 6) sits directly on the beautiful Weeki Wachee River(not canal) and is within walking distance to the local beach(Rogers Park),restaurant (Upperdeck)and marina. Just a few minutes from the house is Pine Island, another popular local beach, also hiking trails and many restaurants to choose from in 1 to 5 miles from the house. This property offers guests a wide range of entertainment; from bringing your own boat and launching it at Rogers Park boat ramp,1 block from property, or using the paddle board, canoe or kayaks(that I provide)to explore upstream to Hospital Hole and beyond to the springs, or downstream to the Gulf of Mexico. If the river life is what you're seeking to experience, look no further, take a seat, relax and let the river wash away your cares. Enjoy watching the kayakers paddle by and looking for manatees swimming below them. The manatees truly are gentle giants and seeing them up close and personal is an experience you'll never forget. A little piece of paradise, without ever leaving the property.

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. The enclosed back porch quickly became one of our favorite spots.The home was well equipped with most of the amenities needed, making it a convenient and comfortable stay. Tina went out of her way to make check-in seamless, which we especially appreciated as we were traveling with our dog for the first time on such a long journey. Her thoughtfulness made a big difference.Everyone we encountered during our stay was warm and friendly, contributing to an overall atmosphere that was both inviting and stress-free. We would gladly return and highly recommend Tina’s home to others looking for a peaceful and accommodating getaway. ##### Stevie R. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacy B.

You can walk to the nearby restaurant (Upper Deck) as well as Roger’s Park. If you don’t want to leave you can hang out on the porch and watch the manatees go by! So much fun! ##### shanna h.

Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Tina for sharing your home! ##### Andriana B.

We loved this property and is one of our most favorite because it was so close to Hospital Hole- our annual trip is for the manatees especially. The kids enjoyed fishing off the back dock and we most enjoyed the manatees flowing by. We had a blast!! Thank you, Tina, for sharing your beautiful home with us. ##### jenn g.

We used kayaks and canoes daily and enjoyed the location immensely.Although house is small, spacious sunroom and primary 2nd floor bedroom also share those same views. (Photos don't do bedroom view justice) House extremely clean and well appointed and host was very helpful with local suggestions. ##### kenneth H.

Everything is as described. Friendly neighbors. It is convenient to restaurants, the Upper Deck is a great place to eat. The marina is a 2 minute drive and you can rent a motorboat for the day and dock it at the dock at the house. The only thing I would want is somewhere inside to eat as a family, there is seating outside to sit together though. Again great place that I would recommend. ##### Mike H.

Quick walk to Upper Deck for Drinks/Food (suggest just sticking to the drinks) and an even bitter spot on the river. Stayed entertained watching people kayak past and good starting point to paddle up river. I would 100% stay here again. Only thing that got us was no gas grill, had to run back to town for charcoal. I’m sure it probably said that somewhere in the description but I missed it. ##### greg D. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa J. Apr 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacation The house was clean and had everything we needed for our vacation. We had three adults and my 13 year old daughter, and we had such a relaxing week on the river. We saw so many manatees and even had the chance to see dolphins! My daughter enjoyed finding lizards all over the property and fishing. We also spotted a few crabs right off the dock. The paddle board and kayaks got plenty of use as we explored the river. At times we felt like we were in a tropical rainforest because the water was so clear! There were plenty of grocery stores within 10-15 minutes to load us up on the essentials and we used the charcoal grill almost daily. We also enjoyed the Upper Deck for dinner one evening and it was a great experience. We highly recommend trying Twistee Treat as well! Tina was a great host and was quick to respond with any questions. We highly recommend this rental! ##### Melissa J. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly S.

Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable, Clean, and Well-Stocked My family (3 teens & myself) stayed 4 nights here. We spent 3 days on the river, then went to Honeymoon Island on the 4th day. The house is well-equipped with river gear, bedding, and new appliances. We easily made breakfast and snacks with the utensils and kitchen items on hand. The only thing I needed to buy were Kleenex and laundry soap, but that's to be expected. The host had everything from throw blankets to sun hats and oscillating fans ready to use. The temperature of the house was cool enough to sleep comfortably. She even had white noise machines in the 2 bedrooms upstairs. The only challenge was getting up the stairs because they were steep. There is a railing, and if you go slow, it can be done, but I struggled a little due to fibromyalgia. Once upstairs, though, the view in the master bedroom is worth it! I was not at all disappointed. In my opinion, this house is one of the best river set-ups I saw...the lawn chairs, the dock, the swing, the fire pit, the yard games...it was made for families and making core memories! We were able to catch a few fish from the dock.I could tell the owner put in some work to make the house stylish and updated with cozy furnishings and understated decor. I would definitely go back! ##### Rachel B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James P.

We loved seeing manatees swim by everyday along with other wildlife. The backyard overlooking the river is where we spent most of our time. The chairs and umbrellas were perfect for lounging for us, and the kids spent a lot of time kayaking and exploring. We enjoyed our stay and the owner was great. ##### James P.
