"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.

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

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.

We had an excellent time at this property. Dawn was a wonderful host and got back to me with all my questions. We saw manatees every single morning swimming through the canal, and even “Chip” the dolphin! Great Home, great location!

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!

We really enjoyed staying here. We came down to visit the springs in the area and hopefully see some manatees. We had 3 swim right by us as we were sitting on the dock. I want to come back in the off season when things are a little cooler and quieter and I know just the place.

My husband and I stayed here for Memorial Day weekend, this was our second time here and it was another great experience. The house was very clean and had everything you could possibly need! The location is great, being right on the water is a huge plus and the neighborhood is quiet. We can't wait to come back next year!
