About this property

"Like a Tree House" Overlooking the Water

The original owner of this property told us that she felt like she lived in a tree house. She was right! Enjoy lazy days under the shade of these big beautiful live oaks. Updated recently with new floors and furnishings, you will find our home very comfortable and peaceful.

This home with 2 spacious bedrooms and 1 bathroom sleeps 4 people comfortably. Queen size bed in master, full size bed in guest room. Kitchen is fully stocked with pots & pans, utensils, dishes, and enough "essentials" in bathroom and kitchen to get your vacation started.

Once you get settled in, go out and enjoy the outdoors. The pristine Weeki Wachee River is home to an abundance of wildlife. You'll see sheepshead, mullet, blue crabs, and of course manatees. I counted 10 manatees one early morning leaving the spring at the end of our canal! And of course tropical birds, hawks, and eagles. Use my kayaks (3) or canoe (1) or bring your boat and tie up to my dock. Or you can rent a jon boat or kayaks from the marina across the road from the entrance to my neighborhood. Take the provided beach chairs, beach towels, and umbrella to the beach at Rogers Park, on the river (2 min away) or Pine Island, on the gulf (10 min).

My family and I have been spending weekends in this home for 10 years. It should have everything you need to enjoy your time here.

Would love to have stayed longer!

Very comfortable and clean home with access to the Weeki Wachee River and the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoyed cruising the river and canalโ€™s with provided kayaks. We enjoyed watching manatees and other critters swim up and down the crystal clear waters of the waters from the deck above. Would stay there again.

Great house

We had a wonderful stay in the "Tree house". Owners communicated well and made us feel welcome. Luttle mix up upon check in but owner was quick to fix the issue and made it right. Would definitely recommend to others. We fished, kayaked and really enjoyed the food places that were in the neighborhood.

Love the tree house!

Second time staying at the tree house and I loved it even more! Home is cozy clean and beds are comfortable. Plenty of parking, outdoor seating, water views and peace! Neighbors are quiet and nice as well. It is a bit of a paddle to get into the springs and explore but if you arenโ€™t afraid of a little exploring itโ€™s the perfect spot. Came with 4 kayaks and 1 canoe so plenty of options and dock allows easy access to river. Kitchen came fully stocked and even some seasonings (which I forgot to pack) Looking at dates for June to come back to the tree house!

Great place to stay near Weeki Wachee

Our kids spent Christmas with their in-laws this year so we were by ourselves. We love to kayak on the Weeki Wachee river launching at Rogers Park. This house was right around the corner and right on the water. It was a perfect place to stay and launch our kayaks. The house was in great shape and very clean. We would be happy to rent this house again in the future

Weeki getaway

Property was just what we needed. Clean, comfortable, sufficiently stocked. Treetop porch/deck fabulous for coffee & evening relaxing. Good access to main river (but not directly on river) for peddling.

Quiet treehouse

We had a great time. The property was quiet and well equipped for a river activity stay. Our plan was to kayak and see various river animals. We saw otters, dolphins, a manatee, lots of birds we've seen only in zoos, and turtles. We definately would stay again.
