Had a reunion with dear friends from our high school band! Ate at local restaurants within walking distance from the Vrbo, had meals at the table, enjoyed a boat ride, shopped in downtown Tarpon. The River House is beautiful and well maintained! Highly recommend!

This is truly a vacation getaway location. Paradise on the water as listing says. My family and I were very impressed with the cleanliness the amenities and the overall experience at this River House. A home away from home. Fun for everyone! I even relaxed long enough to read a book(from the small library at the house). You won’t be disappointed!!!

We stayed at River House for a month and found the location to be very convenient — there are 2 restaurants within a 5-minute walk (We really liked Bayou Bistro) — also it is a short walk into town and the sponge docks The Host was very nice and easy to communicate with — one of the beach chairs broke and the host had a new set there immediately — there are docks out front which made sitting and watching wildlife a regular activity —many birds, dolphins, and especially mullet jumping The home was well appointed with all the pots and pans needed to cook in as well as a nice BBQ gas grill — most nights we ate outside on the patio — the property offers easy access to the Pinellas Trail for biking enthusiasts Tarpon Springs has many fun places to get a fresh brew or a wonderful meal and yet retains an old Florida vibe All in all a great month at River House was had

We stayed the month of February. Fantastic house in a fantastic location! Plenty of space, well-stocked kitchen, grill, bikes, kayaks, very clean, fenced yard for our dog. Each bedroom has own bath. The location can’t be beat! We walked everywhere, church, store, restaurants, Spongedocks, downtown strip, and the bayou to see manatees! The owner was friendly and easy to communicate with. Was hoping to stay next year but already booked! Hopefully we’ll be back sometime!

We enjoyed staying at the River House. It's proximatey to Tarpon Spings shopping was great. The house was large and comfortable. The Television had no cable, only streaming. The host responded well to any questions we had. The river frontage is hard to see and enjoy due to all the frontage had docks which were full of boats. Before we left, we asked the host if we could stay again the following year, and he said no, as he had already rented it out.

My husband and I were so lucky to find this beautiful home to spend our vacation in. We stayed for the month of February and didn’t need to buy a thing but food! All necessities were provided and many extras. The beds were more comfortable than home and the house was spotless! Mornings out back we’re so peaceful and we actually got to see a dolphin who came to visit. Sunsets were amazing! Short walk to the sponge docks and the beautiful bayou, or take a bike ride (two are provided). Shower was heavenly! Our company cancelled but had they come there would have been more than enough room for everyone. Will definitely try to get back sometime next year.

This place is in a great location, walking distance to town, museums, food, and entertainment. We hardly got in the car once we arrived! The docks to fish from, and the patio for relaxation were great. When in the back of the house, you never even realize that your in town! Having a grill and a fully stocked kitchen was an added bonus! We would definitely stay here again!

Loved our visit to Tarpon Springs. It was our second time staying in this beautiful, clean and well-appointed rental. The proximity to the downtown area of Tarpon Springs and the Sponge docks is just a short walk away (or a quick bike ride with the bikes available for your use while you stay). Will definitely be back again.

We stayed at this property over Christmas and had such a great time. Being on the water was relaxing and the backyard furniture and shade made it comfortable. The kayaks were fun to use. The house is fantastic. Both bedrooms are huge and comfortable. Our kids loved the giant guest bedroom with three different beds. We slept late while they stayed in their room playing. There is a little inlet where manatees gather only a 15 minute walk away. This is definitely the most enjoyable rental we've stayed at and we're hoping to have a chance to visit again this year.

The perfect wedding getaway

The perfect wedding getaway

If afforded the opportunity to stay at Casa Rio, take it. My husband and I made this little oasis in the heart of the Sponge Docks our home for a few nights surrounding our wedding, frequently wishing that we could extend our stay. Imagine the scent of fresh-cooked baklava permeating the breeze as you sit on the back patio enjoying the waterfront view, or enjoying a cocktail with loved ones around the fire pit on one of these recently chilly evenings. Much gratitude to the Charpie family for their impeccable hospitality, and for sharing their beautiful home with us during such a special time in our life.

Beautiful, clean home.

I hate to give this review because this home was so outstanding in every way, that I am afraid it will not be available when I want to come back. The location was excellent with a short walk to the docks, and a short walk to the downtown shops and restaurants. The home was extremely well appointed and sparkling clean. There were only 3 of us that stayed, but the home could easiy accommodate more very comfortably. David was helpful and a pleasure to work with. Can't wait to go back.
