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.

What a great vacation rental! They had everything we would need to make our stay comfortable. The views were wonderful and we never ran out of stuff to do!
We had an excellent stay! The treehouse was even cuter than expected! Clean, tidy and very comfortable. Dawn was quick to respond every time we had questions. It was easy to find, and check in was a breeze. Manatees swam right up to the deck. We took a bike ride, kayaked to hospital hole and took several walks around the neighborhood. There are plenty of activities and restaurants nearby. One of our favorite activities was a sunset dinner cruise on the Marina Rose. This place is truly a gem! Relaxation at its finest! Thank you for sharing your place with us.
Such a great spot to spend a quick weekend getaway. The property was just as listed, super cute and homey. We brought our own paddle boards so we didn’t use onsite kayaks but there are plenty to spare with life vests available for use.
What a lovely property. It’s so cozy and peaceful. It was just as described with all the amenities. We loved being able to hop in the kayaks from the dock and go down the river. We would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay at Like a tree house. Seen 4 Manatees the very first day, this is our second time staying at Dawns place and would highly recommend it to anyone!
Loved our 3 night stay! We were lucky to get early check in and put our boat in at Roger’s park close by. We scalloped, snorkeled, fished, kayaked. We brought our paddle boards and used them to explore the clear Weeki Wachee river and saw lots of manatees. Host was amazing communicating and no surprises; house is fantastic just as listed.
Loved this property! The house was perfect sized for the 2 of us with comfortable seating areas in kitchen, living room, screened porch, balcony deck and ground level patio/fire pit/dock. Plenty of equipment for paddling the canal plus a few floaties for splashing around the canal. Would love to return to explore more of the waterways and to sit on the balcony. Very peaceful, comfortable and lovely canal views.
This was by far the best place to get away everything was as said but way more!! Great host and a amazing place one of my best vacations almost want to keep a secret!!! from the dolphins and manatees to the fish 🎣 and amazing paddle to the springs perfect get away will definitely be back 😊
Wonderful stay! Such a great location to access the Weeki Wachee River. We kayaked everyday of our stay and saw beautiful manatees and porpoises. Owner is quick to respond. Enjoyed sitting on the deck and the dock and looking at the canal. Rental was neat and clean and had everything we needed. Thank you!
Had a lovely stay at this wonderful property. Dawn was a great host and wonderful communicator. Great location for access to the park and just a fantastic spot for relaxing.
A beautiful cottage style home with waterfront location.
Quiet but not a remote location. Checkin was smooth and easy. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the immediate necessities to get us started. Our waterfront views were amazing and full of mannatees, dolphins, otters, turtles and birds. Dawn answered all our questions promptly and with care & a friendly manner. Loved our stay & can highly recommend!
Very comfortable and clean home with access to the Weeki Wachee River and the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoyed cruising the river and canal’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.
Love this house. Well stocked, spent lots of time on the balcony. Saw manatee, porpoise and turtles. Went kayaking and bike riding. It was a great relaxing week.
