"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.

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!

Cozy spot on the water
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.
