About this house rental
Welcome to the Little House on the River, our amazing crystal clear waterfront property provides the ultimate vacation getaway. If location is important to you, then this is the place to be. This 2 story, 2 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath home (sleeps 6) sits directly on the beautiful Weeki Wachee River(not canal) and is within walking distance to the local beach(Rogers Park),restaurant (Upperdeck)and marina. Just a few minutes from the house is Pine Island, another popular local beach, also hiking trails and many restaurants to choose from in 1 to 5 miles from the house.
This property offers guests a wide range of entertainment; from bringing your own boat and launching it at Rogers Park boat ramp,1 block from property, or using the paddle board, canoe or kayaks(that I provide)to explore upstream to Hospital Hole and beyond to the springs, or downstream to the Gulf of Mexico.
If the river life is what you're seeking to experience, look no further, take a seat, relax and let the river wash away your cares. Enjoy watching the kayakers paddle by and looking for manatees swimming below them. The manatees truly are gentle giants and seeing them up close and personal is an experience you'll never forget.
A little piece of paradise, without ever leaving the property.
I highly recommend getting insurance when booking as we do not do refunds for weather unless it is a mandatory evacuation.

Our 1st trip to the river and it did not disappoint. This house is located around the corner from a public ramp and boat rental place. In addition to kayaking, we also rented a skiff and went east up the river for the day for about $125. Tina's place is a great space for family to enjoy. The house has a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of spices. Host is very responsive as well!
We hope to book again soon.

We almost had to bail on this trip due to family emergency but thankfully, we made it and it was exactly what we needed to reset. The spot is perfect, the bedroom was beautiful and so comfortable. Great spot and we would definitely return.

My husband and I stayed here for a few days and really enjoyed it. We used the 2 person kayak at the house and kayaked up the spring and back. We saw several manatees. The house and the yard were set up perfect. We loved the back porch with all the windows and enjoyed watching all of the boats and kayaks go by. Tina was very nice and responsive. House had several amenities for the guests. We can’t wait to come back
5.0
our great-grandchildren from Montana had a ball swimming in the river. even at the end of July, we saw manatees swim by, including a mama and her baby, and large pair of snapping turtles. wish we brought our smoking bug candles for the yard and shampoo and conditioner. very friendly neighbor. comfy and clean.

Little house on the river delivers BIG! Beautiful property and beautiful location! House has everything you could want while staying on the Weeki Wachie River. Everyone no matter the age had a wonderful weekend. Definitely will book this property again. Thank you Tina for sharing this property!!!

We really enjoyed staying here. The property was exactly as described in the listing!!!! Many things available for use while there...such as beach towels, chairs, kayaks, games, lounge chairs, Netflix on the TVs, and soooo much more. We were here in early May and saw manatees as well!
The only thing worth noting is that the stairs might be difficult to climb for anyone elderly or walking handicap.

It has everything you need to enjoy a great time on the Weeki Wachee. Great location to people and manatee watch on the river.
5.0
Beautiful location right on the river with amazing outdoor seating right on the water where you can take in passing manatees, fish, and wildlife on the other bank. We used kayaks and canoes daily and enjoyed the location immensely.Although house is small, spacious sunroom and primary 2nd floor bedroom also share those same views. (Photos don't do bedroom view justice) House extremely clean and well appointed and host was very helpful with local suggestions.
5.0
This is the second time we have stayed at this house. The location is great. You can walk to the nearby restaurant (Upper Deck) as well as Roger’s Park. If you don’t want to leave you can hang out on the porch and watch the manatees go by! So much fun!
5.0
We stayed two nights and within a few short hours of being there a manatee swam right up to the dock and was eating algae off of it. It was a very cool experience. The location on the river is great. The river is beautiful. The property has several kayaks for you to pick from. When we arrived it was hot upstairs, we let the owner know and within 30 minutes they arrived to install a new unit they had just bought. The upstairs is older, but was clean. The stairs are narrow and steep, but well lit and has a gate (if needed). If you’re looking for a great spot on the river and enjoy seeing manatee, this house is for you.
5.0
Great location. Loved watching the fun river traffic and the manatees. Kayaking was so much fun in either direction. Definitely something different than we’ve ever done. The house was beautifully furnished and had everything you would need. We loved it there. The only negative was the stairs. We really had to be careful going up and down, especially when carrying anything.

Perfect location to explore the area. We loved using this space as a home base for our trip!

The little house was great, we loved the location. We had fun sitting on the river watching the people and manatees. Loved having the kayaks to use!

My family and I enjoyed the Little House on the River immensely and cannot wait to return. We saw a family of manatees upon arrival and more throughout our stay.
Everything was perfect. The house was very clean, spacious, comfortable, and convenient to fun activities (kayaks and games) and restaurants.
Thank you so much for sharing this gem of a place with us!

This was a great location to see Manatees and kayak. We also did some hiking at nearby parks. The dryer did not work. There was no hot tub as listed in the description. Overall, it was a nice stay and we enjoyed it.

Such a special house on the river! Very cozy, couldn’t rec it more!

I had an amazing stay at this property on the Weeki Wachee River! Waking up to have coffee and seeing manatees passing by was a surreal experience that I’ll never forget. The kayaking on the river was fantastic, and the proximity to Weeki Wachee Park for a mermaid show gave us plenty to do. The property was clean, well-equipped, and the owner's responsiveness and friendliness made the trip smooth. Highly recommend for a delightful riverfront getaway! My only regret is not staying here longer.

It was truly a home away from home, and Tina did everything to make sure we had a great stay. Absolutely gorgeous setting. Can’t wait to come back!
5.0
Location is Key and this house is perfect. Quick walk to Upper Deck for Drinks/Food (suggest just sticking to the drinks) and an even bitter spot on the river. Stayed entertained watching people kayak past and good starting point to paddle up river. I would 100% stay here again. Only thing that got us was no gas grill, had to run back to town for charcoal. I’m sure it probably said that somewhere in the description but I missed it.
4.0
The house is perfect right on the river and was cosy and comfortable with need of a little more TLC if you’re expecting modern.
On arrival the check in instructions did not help as the door was unlocked & there was no key in the lock box..we worked it out for ourselves after a little stress.
We had a lovely 2 nights there & made good use of the river & the kayaks provided. It really is a beautiful spot & we’d stay there again

By far our favorite vacation yet. We loved being on the river. The kids stayed in the heater from sunup till sundown. The river was beautiful and refreshing. Plenty of local restaurants to hit up within a short drive from the house. A+
5.0
Our stay on the river was enjoyable. The host was attentive to detail. There was every little kitchen item that a traveling family would need. Except a dishwasher. I’m sure it read accurately in the description, but in today’s day and age it has become an expectation. Dishes are never as clean as they could be when washed by hand. The stairs to the bedrooms are extremely steep and are difficult to maneuver if you aren’t limbered up in the wee hours of the morning. There is an upstair half bath but must be accessed through a bedroom which is awkward when everyone is sleeping. It should also be noted that the a/c is not in any way typical. It is very difficult to regulate enough cool to the downstairs without freezing the inhabitants of the bedrooms. There is minimal central a/c and the window units (traditional and stand alone) do not keep the downstairs kitchen, bath and living room below 80• when it is typical summer weather at the springs. We enjoyed cooling off in the water and exploring, but if you were a homebody expecting the same level of cool you experienced at home, you might be disappointed. Our favorite part of our stay were the multiple water vessels to choose from and cooking/eating outdoors (no indoor dining room or table to eat at as a family). All in all, this was our 6th visit to the River. Our first time in this house, but we would recommend it to friends, just with a heads up!

We absolutely loved everything about this home. The location is unbeatable!
