The house was very spacious and perfect for our group size. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool. I chose this house mainly for the pool and the kitchen with double ovens and 2 fridges. I had planned a baking night with my grand kids, however neither oven was operable. One of the fridges freezer section wasnt working and we lost two quarts of ice cream that was being served with birthday cake. Quite embarrassing for our BD party. We couldn't turn on the hot tub either. The boat was also broken so we couldn't use it. We did leave a voice mail and messaged Don through VRBO messaging. We might think about staying there in the future if everything was in working order.

Absolutely loved the dock and awesome sunrise and sunset views. If you get lucky you may spot a dolphin or two. House was so user friendly, bright and cheery. Kids loved the pool and grownups the pool table. Definitely stay here again.

This place was perfect for our family. Everyone had their own room and bathroom. There was plenty of space to spread out and not be on top of each other.

There was a glitch in the check in process but everything else was excellent and I would recommend anyone to stay here.

This Property was so southern, warm and inviting, wonderful open floor plan, and that lanai with the pool, we had a blast in the pool and playing pool!!! We loved everything about it, a bathroom in every room, again, the pool was beautiful and clean, we just loved everything about it!... there was a couple of updates that are needed but the owner was happy to take our findings and work on them, i really hope we get to stay there again someday soon!!! The neighbors were super friendly, and the view of the canal was awesome as well! This is a wonderful place for a family to stay or even just a group for work that have to travel to that area, it is peaceful and just very home like!!! gosh I could go on and on but y'all go see for yourself! ;) The Smith

This beautiful home offers plenty of room to spread out and is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is perfect for cooking meals together. Loved spending time on the front porch and dock watching the boats go by❤️.

We were a group of cousins and some spouses and adult children in the area for a cousin's birthday celebration. The home spaces were great for our needs with plenty of areas to join together or just enjoy your own space. Pool, Jacuzzi, TV and pool table in the Florida room was a popular amenity. The home has some deferred maintenance as do many older homes, but nothing too unmanageable. Don was nearby and quick to respond to any questions or needs.

My highest recommendation is would I be willing to stay again and yes, not only myself but everyone in our party which was made up of picky, opinionated ladies. Don is a nice guy and we all enjoyed our weekend even with bad weather. The house has lots of space, the pool was really heated so we could enjoy it even in cooler temps. Weeki Watchi was fun, lots of good restaurants, plenty of interesting walking and river watching. Neighbors are all friendly. This house will go on my top choices list.

We had such a a wonderful experience!! Conveniently located, SO spacious and CLEAN! We felt very welcomed - Don was. Great host, very responsive and helpful when we needed fishing advice! We rented the boat for a day and rode out to Durney Key where we anchored and explored! Would love to come here again if we're in the area! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!!

The family took a spring break down to Port Richey and we do not regret the decision. Don, the host, was great and showed up to walk us through everything when we arrived. We enjoyed the place very much as the kids swam everyday in the pool and we fished from the dock.

House was nicely stated and big enough for our 2 families with total of 9. we cooked most meals there so 3 fridges was nice. kids loved pool which was clean and heated option was great for our March trip and adults utilized hot tub every night. Didn't realize one of the sleeper couches that counted towards sleeps 12 was in main living room beside pool area so wasn't usable for us but we made it work.

Enjoyed the pool and patio area.boat was fun.

We had two families staying at this home for a close to home spring break getaway. We were worried about feeling like we were in each other's way, but it was perfect! It feels like 3 houses in one. The pictures do not do it justice. We hope to come back in the summer. We each had our 7yr olds with us and they had a blast! The dual kitchen set up with beyond amazing! Don is an excellent host. Thank you!

Our stay was amazing from the time of check in to check out! Place was beautiful and even better than described here. Don was super responsive and helpful!

A group of 8 of us stayed at this property. The house was very clean and the kitchen had everything you could want for preparing meals. The house was very comfortable for all of us to spread out. The owner was always readily available to answer any questions we had. The pontoon boat was lots of fun for our whole group including our two dogs. The pool and spa were very clean. The only suggestion our group has is to clean off the live oak moss off the mansard screen over the pool. We enjoyed our two week stay very much!

Loved the 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths , perfect for 4 couples

The property was very clean. It was very centrally located in Port Richey- very close to many restaurants. I loved the fact that all 4 bedrooms all had their own attached, private bathrooms. The outdoor area was great. The kitchen was well stocked. I loved the washing machines upstairs AND downstairs. Don, the host, was very helpful, friendly, and quick to respond. I would recommend this property.

Wonderful house on the water with a beautiful swimming pool. The kitchen was fantastic and well appointed. The owner lives nearby and responds to any need or request. Very nice house for a family.

Property was great and had more items provided than at Any other property I have rented. The pool and spa was great and Don ( the host) helped us with anything we asked. Beds were very comfortable! Close to everything as well- we will be back for sure- look no further as this has all you could want Or need!

The house was larger than I expected. I wanted something that would fit my 4 siblings and their family under one roof for our mother's memorial. This place fit it and more. Sometime i would rent location and they don't always have what i need in the kitchen. This place had enough to for our group 2x over. Plenty of space to fit everyone and areas were if you wanted be by yourself you can. The option to rent out the boat is also a great plus.

We do a big family vacation every year before school starts. This year we chose Florida and it was beautiful. The house had enough rooms and bathrooms. The pool was nice for the kids and they took advantage of it every day. The host was super nice and responded back pretty quick. This was probably one of my favorite vacations so far. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Huge home every bedroom has its own bathroom. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need there are 2 washing machines and dryers. The host Don is awesome and very helpful. We rented boat was easy to rent and run. My family had great time scalloping we will definitely rent from Don again! Highly recommend this property

The house has everything you need. This was our second time staying at the Cottee River house. It was the perfect family getaway with our grown kids and their families. Thanks Don!

Great house for get together or a family reunion.

Everything was amazing! The pictures don’t do the property justice. It’s absolutely beautiful, relaxing and only a short distance to Tarpon Springs and Clearwater. Don was an amazing host. Very responsive and just an overall nice guy. We took out the pontoon, which was amazing! Had coffee with a view every morning! There were 10 of us from age 6 to 68. Plenty of room! We’ll be back!

My family gathered from all over for a high school graduation. The house was perfect! It was so nice having private bathrooms off the bedrooms, access to the water and the view, the pool and pool table, and the kitchen had everything. All we had to buy for the week was food and drinks. Don was very friendly and responsive when we had a problem with the sliding door. We have another graduation in a few years and I will definitely see if this property is still available!

Don was readily available and great to work with and never a bother. The house was everything it stated it was and more. House was extremely clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Pool was very clean and screened in with no issues at all. Would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone, one of the best VRBO stays yet. Thanks for everything

This house is everything it advertised and more! The crew of my fire station in Canada wanted to simply go to Florida, and relax after a couple of crazy years! Well, we were not disappointed by this property! We were 5 people and all we wanted to do is have fun and fish! Don the owner met me and insured that all of our needs were looked after! He is not just a great host, he is one of the nicest person I’ve ever met! We rented the pontoon boat, fished, enjoyed the local restaurants and cooked great meals in the extremely well appointed kitchen. One of the biggest high lights our this trip, was behing accepted by the best neighbors ever! Truly a vacation we will remember forever! Port Ritchey is an hidden gem! Thank you so much Don!

Relaxing environment

Don was an excellent host! House had everything we need and the pool area with the outdoor fridge, pool table, and fans were great and we spent most of our time out there. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone with kids or a large group. Again, Don was the best host and we really enjoyed talking with him and are grateful for him letting us rent his property.
