The Tiki Hut is a studio located on the 2nd floor, accessible via the outside spiral staircase. It features a private entrance and a spacious master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

If you'd like to check in early, check with me. It's possible. If you are staying only one night, please check with me about a reduction in the cleaning fee.
There are 4.5 other units available on the property. The half-room is the Hostage room. Lol! It is located downstairs inside the house, featuring a private 1/4 bath. It is less than 100 sq ft but is cozy with a TV, bed, dresser, a/c, and a 1/2 bath across the hall. It's usually used by guests who are visiting full-room guests. Ask me for info. Private dock. Boaters Paradise is located on the Cotee River about .5 mi from the open Gulf. Bring your fresh catch (grouper, tuna, Mahi, snook, sheepshead, and more) and throw it on the grill. Giant outside property on the river with dock access.
My friends say the house is haunted. Lol! The man who built the home is also said to haunt the downtown Suncoast Theater. You can make your own decision. If Willard does haunt the house, he is a nice ghost. No clocks will keep time, so you'll notice there aren't any in the house.
Surrounded by several tiki bars within kayaking distance. Can also kayak to downtown, Sims Park, Durney Key, Anclote Key, and several sandbars.
There are several places nearby to rent boats, paddleboards, and bicycles. I have/ several kayaks which are free to use.
Golf cart rental is also available.
Visit downtown New Port Richey, home to several new restaurants, breweries, and bars. Check out Sims Park for festivals and concerts. Try Tropical Breeze Casino.

I loved the Cotee River VRBO property. Host was very friendly and put out a little welcome basket with some snacks and drinks. Room was very cute and comfortable. One of the best showers I have been in. I would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in New Port Richey.

Amazing location and service from the host. Highly recommend this place
Very comfortable and clean, perfect getaway beautiful scenic view from your room and the dock was great for fishing and launching the kayaks that were provided, Amy was a wonderful host
Everything as described, Amy was a wonderful host, having a dock was a plus for us because Anclote was 20 min away in our boat and the fishing was espectacular. Thanks once more Amy for letting us stay at your wonderful place

Did a staycation here and it was everything we hoped it would be! Such a cute and relaxing spot on the water. Not far ftom the quaint downtown of New Port Richey so lots of nearby eats/drinks! Would def recommend this spot and stay here again myself!!
Great location, loved my Tiki room. Right on the river for fishing and kayaking. One of us actually swam. Quick access to the gulf if desired. Kayaks, cornhole, fire pit, and on and on and on!
Amy is the best She had anything and everything that you’d ever need while on vacation. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. And I’ve been on plenty.
Amy was a great Hostess, she was always available and very accommodating. We were there for a celebration of life so not a lot of extra activity. Would definitely book again!
Was concerned as we arrived month or so after hurricane..was some finishing work going on ..but our unit was awesome.the yard and waterfront on the canal were amazing.despite the disaster amy had just gone through she was friendly and very cheerful.. we wish we could have spent more time there. We will go back .
Beautiful little studio apartment with breathtaking views of the river. Extremely easy to find and close to restaurants and activities. The only potential downside is that the metal spiral staircase which could be a problem for those with physical issues. It was not a problem for us but we did have to carry our elderly dog up and down the steps. Otherwise our stay was perfect and we would definitely recommend

My listing does state that it's on the upper deck accessed by a spiral staircase. There are several pictures also showing it is on the upper deck. If you're bringing a dog that is not used to climbing stairs please pick another place to stay. I normally have bottom floor rooms although at this time I am recovering due to Hurricane Helene.

A fantastic and simple studio type apartment for a long weekend in the area. Excellent location on the river and an easy drive to a number of great spots in the area. Definitely a spot to save for the future.
