About this house rental
Escape to your private paradise along the tranquil banks of the Anclote River, where nature is your only neighbor. Step outside to a screened lanai featuring a heated pool, perfect for lounging and soaking up the Florida sunshine. Watch dolphins and manatees frolic in their natural habitat right from your backyard. Enjoy proximity to world-famous beaches such as Clearwater, Honeymoon Island, and Tarpon Springs, as well as the vibrant Tampa Bay area.
This inviting 3-bedroom retreat (1,670 sq ft) offers stunning river views, direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, and unforgettable sunsets. Unlike many vacation rentals, there’s no compromise on comfort here—no bunk beds or pull-out sofas. Each bedroom is equipped with a premium 10-inch memory foam mattress and down-alternative pillows to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
The extensive outdoor space is designed for relaxation and enjoyment of the Florida lifestyle. Unwind in your private pool overlooking the picturesque river. Fire up the gas BBQ grill for an al fresco meal, then gather around the firepit as the sun sets, painting the sky in breathtaking hues.
Nature lovers will be in their element, with opportunities to observe playful dolphins and gentle manatees from the backyard deck. Fishing enthusiasts can cast a line into the tranquil waters for an unforgettable angling experience.
Inside, the home offers modern amenities and thoughtful touches to enhance your stay:
Kitchen: Fully equipped with a reverse osmosis water system, refrigerator, electric stove and oven, microwave, coffee machine, toaster, and all necessary cooking utensils.

We cant wait to come back.

Very nicely appointed and supplied home. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Ate most meals on the back deck enjoying the absolute solitude of the water flowing by and the occasional dolphin and manatee swimming by. We stayed at the house and only ventured out one day for lunch as we arrived one day before a tropical storm. We both loved this little piece of paradise and are already looking at booking again sometime next year.

We used to have a condo in the area so we were familiar with the location. The kids spent most of the trip in the pool. The beds were comfortable and we had everything that we needed.

Nothing to do but enjoy the stay!
The host has thought of everything and provided all the finishing touches. The house was clean and comfortable in a nice quiet neighborhood where the people still wave and say hello.
Okay, so it’s not on the beach, big deal. We did some day trips to Caladesi and Honeymoon islands and found some great local spots on the way (Sunset and Fred Howard Park beaches). And there are plenty of good eats nearby too.
Turns out the highlight of the trip was in the backyard seeing the manatees and dolphins at dusk right off the dock while we swam in the pool. I highly recommend this home on the river for a relaxing place where you set your own pace.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and very comfortable. We spent as much time as possible outside on the back porch, splashing in the pool, and just watching all the birds from the back porch. We saw manatees in the river! We enjoyed some nice running trails only a short drive from this neighborhood and some fun restaurants as well. Thanks for a great family vacation!

The house was great and very clean! The shower and tub in the master bathroom were wonderful. The pool and view are a great addition to the house. We did see some dolphins as well in the back canal!
