About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

"Like a Tree House" Overlooking the Water

The original owner of this property told us that she felt like she lived in a tree house. She was right! Enjoy lazy days under the shade of these big beautiful live oaks. Updated recently with new floors and furnishings, you will find our home very comfortable and peaceful.

This home with 2 spacious bedrooms and 1 bathroom sleeps 4 people comfortably. Queen size bed in master, full size bed in guest room. Kitchen is fully stocked with pots & pans, utensils, dishes, and enough "essentials" in bathroom and kitchen to get your vacation started.

Once you get settled in, go out and enjoy the outdoors. The pristine Weeki Wachee River is home to an abundance of wildlife. You'll see sheepshead, mullet, blue crabs, and of course manatees. I counted 10 manatees one early morning leaving the spring at the end of our canal! And of course tropical birds, hawks, and eagles. Use my kayaks (3) or canoe (1) or bring your boat and tie up to my dock. Or you can rent a jon boat or kayaks from the marina across the road from the entrance to my neighborhood. Take the provided beach chairs, beach towels, and umbrella to the beach at Rogers Park, on the river (2 min away) or Pine Island, on the gulf (10 min).

My family and I have been spending weekends in this home for 10 years. It should have everything you need to enjoy your time here.

Would love to have stayed longer!

Very comfortable and clean home with access to the Weeki Wachee River and the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoyed cruising the river and canal’s with provided kayaks. We enjoyed watching manatees and other critters swim up and down the crystal clear waters of the waters from the deck above. Would stay there again.

Great place to stay near Weeki Wachee

Our kids spent Christmas with their in-laws this year so we were by ourselves. We love to kayak on the Weeki Wachee river launching at Rogers Park. This house was right around the corner and right on the water. It was a perfect place to stay and launch our kayaks. The house was in great shape and very clean. We would be happy to rent this house again in the future

Tree top paradise

We had a wonderful time soaking up the sun, kayaking, eating out and relaxing! The home was exactly as described and welcoming. We enjoyed all the amenities provided. During our downtime we got to enjoy watching the demolition of an older home across the canal. We can’t wait to see what takes it’s place on our next visit. We will be returning to this home without a doubt!! Thank you for sharing your home!

Sister Vacation

Me and my sister came for her birthday. Place was perfect on the river. We launched our paddleboards from the dock on the property. We paddleboarded for 3 days up and down the river tp the gulf to the springs. Docked our boards at upper deck and had drinks and great food. Watched a sunset from our boards. Place is clean with everything you need and host has great communication.

Quiet treehouse

We had a great time. The property was quiet and well equipped for a river activity stay. Our plan was to kayak and see various river animals. We saw otters, dolphins, a manatee, lots of birds we've seen only in zoos, and turtles. We definately would stay again.

Cozy and Fun

We had a great stay at the “Tree House”. We stayed 7 nights and kayaked most days with the provided kayaks. We also used the bikes and checked out the neighborhood. The channel was quiet compared to the river especially since there was some spring break activity still going on. The river was crazy busy on the weekend but that’s probably fun for younger people. We preferred the weekdays. Nice location and loved the deck overlooking the channel to spot manatees, birds and the random kitties that prowled the properties across the channel. The property was well equipped.

Relaxing slice of paradise

The property was clean and perfect for us. Everything you could’ve needed was right there in the home. Kayaks, paddles, firewood, fish baskets, dishes, appliances, everything. Even had a handicap elevator. Just toss the kayaks off the dock and your off to whatever kind of adventure you want! We seen manatees, turtles, blue crab, etc. Then come home to have some drinks on the patio by the fire pit. Loved this place.
