About this property

Cotee River Tiki Hut

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. The kitchenette features a fridge, coffee maker, microwave, hot plates, sink, and air fryer.
Watch the boats cruise down the Cotee River from your room or private deck.

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.

Daniel Green pellet smoker/bbq available.

Extremely clean, well-behaved pups are welcome for a $25 charge.

Buy cheap hot dogs to feed the birdie (Rudy). He's the one in the pictures.

Would definitely go back.

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!

Beautiful location

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

Great spot on the river

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.
