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.

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 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.
