About this property
River View Hideaway
This quiet, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is located on the picturesque shores of the Anclote River. This home is perfect for the water lover, bring fishing poles to cast a line or use our kayaks to enjoy a peaceful padded on the river where you can bird watch and see an occasional dolphin. If kayaking isn’t for you, we also offer a dock for a boat, with a private boat launch nearby where you can take a short, 11 mile trip out to the Gulf of Mexico.
This home is located only a few blocks from downtown Tarpon Springs and The Famous Sponge Docks, on a quiet dead end road. You can also take a walk on the Pinellas Trail, which is located just behind the house. There are many activities within walking distance, like shopping centers, restaurants and charter fishing. Like fishing? This home also includes a private dock and fish cleaning station. (The boat on the lift is not included with the rental nor is it available to rent. it is the owners and we will let you know when he comes to use it.) Have a boat? Bring it and dock it just outside of the home for a beautiful sunset cruise or a quick trip to the Gulf of Mexico. We ask that you, please message to inquire what kind of boat can be used on the river, as there is an overpass to go under, with a height restriction. If you have a boat and would like to bring it we have a private boat launch nearby and trailer parking to use at your own risk. Don’t have a boat but still would like to enjoy the river? We offer 2 kayaks and a canoe (to use at your own risk) You can easily rent a boat from one of the local boat rental facilities nearby. This house is located only 20 minutes from Clearwater Beach, 40 minutes from Busch Gardens and other Tampa Bay attractions. This location is also wheelchair accessible with ramps at doors and a wheel in shower but is not ADA compliant. Please note that there is no swimming at this home, therefor we don't supply any beach equipment. We recommend you bring your own if you plan to visit a nearby beach.
No Parties or events
Neighbors value the serenity of a quiet neighborhood. Please follow all Parking, pet restrictions and property boundaries as well as monitor occupancy and noise levels to ensure consistency.
