About this property

COOL CHAZ Waterfront River Rental-4Kayaks-1Canoe-2docks-boathouse

Great location in a country-like setting but less than a few miles to local grocery store, gas station, Dollar General-they have practically everything, Subway, McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, Walgreens, 7-11, gas station and more. Walmart is about 5 miles away and town is just a tad further. The house is on a cul-da-sac that ends at the water on a corner lot w/intersecting canals. Canal leads to Chassahowitzka River and 7 Sisters Springs. The Springs are located very close to the house via the canal at the entrance to the river on the right. See the moon like craters with some springs that are open to a neighboring spring. Watch as visitors swim thru one crater and come up in another. Be sure to see “The Crack” while on the river-I call it the blue lagoon. The house has a full yard with 2 docks-both have lower docks off main docks to access kayaks/canoe, a small boathouse & comes w/4 kayaks & 1 canoe to save you renting them but if you need more, rentals are only a few blocks away at the Chassahowitzka River Campground with boat launch or the Chassahowitzka Lodge/bar. Make sure you bring or wear life jackets on board as they are required by law. Life jackets are located in screened in room off back of house. See pics of 12' culvert that boats must traverse to from house to river-there is a map in the house on how to get to river.

The house has 2 bedrooms, 1 with 1 double bed & 1 twin bed the mermaid room. It also has access to the main bathroom from the bedroom and a TV. The other bedroom has a King canopy bed. Master king bedroom has full bath with a garden style tub/shower combo and it’s own TV.
The house sleeps 5 in beds and up to 8 with 1 on each of the 2 couches in living room, and 1 on the fold out floor futon located in the master bedroom closet. Additional linens/pillows/blankets provided. There is an extra nightly guest fee for each guest over 5.

Fully stocked kitchen w/everything you need-all the dishes/pots-n-pans, silverware, glasses, drip coffee maker, microwave, blender, toaster, etcetera. Gas bbq in carport.

Wi-Fi and streamed TV in living room and both bedrooms, & dvd player so you can always play a movie, some dvd's provided in home. DVD player can be moved from room to room if necessary.

If you bring a boat, other than a canoe or kayak or anything you can't carry, you will need to put it in at the boat launch and in order to bring it back to the house, your boat will need to be able to fit thru the 12" culvert. Water is shallow, especially at low tide. Pontoons that are not deck boats usually fit, you have to lower the top, lower the fishing rods and bimini tops. The pics show the passage. Most boats can put in 4 blocks away at the Chassahowitzka River Campground launch, larger boats can put in at McRae's on Halls River Road on the Homosassa River. There is room to store your boat and trailer at the house on the property. Hope that helps. Call the Chassahowitzka River Campground if you have questions regarding boats on the river. Parking at the house is limited to carport and driveway noting that only half of the driveway belongs to my lot, the other half belongs to the neighbor. Please do not block neighbors access to road. A limit of 3 (or maybe 4 depending on size) maximum total vehicles will fit.

The Seven Sisters Springs are on your right as you come out of the canals at the beginning of the river heading towards the Gulf. It is really beautiful and truly "Old Florida" setting. Great place to park the kayaks and swim in the crystal clear spring water. Some of the springs connect and you can swim through them and come up in the next spring. The river is shallow and runs about 5 miles to the Gulf of Mexico. Beautiful serene views the entire way with lots of wildlife and nature to see. Manatees and dolphins are in the river as well as in the canals. Lots to explore.

PET OWNERS: Only dogs are permitted. Pet fee is $85 for 1 dog.If you have more than 1 dogs, please message me and request an an additional dog, describing the type and size of dogs. An additional fee will be required. Dogs must be up-to-date on required shots, on flea control either topical or oral, owners are responsible for their pets and must pick up after them. Leash laws apply. Please do not allow your pet to run freely to other neighbors lots. The yard is not fenced in except on one side and open to the street and water sides. Dogs must be well behaved and house broken. Should your pet have an accident, please clean it up thoroughly. Please do not allow your pet on furniture or bedding. Additional pet sheets are located in the master bedroom closet please use them if needed.

Note that the house is a doublewide mobile home, clean, cute & comfortable and has everything you need minus food & personal items. It is not fancy. Not rustic, but not modern or Hilton-like. My guests come for the peace and quiet and to enjoy nature, the river and the explore the area. If you are looking for modern or fancy please keep looking. Property looks like it is depicted in the photos and described. Please see the photos and read the captions. Read the reviews to get a better feel for the property. Note that I can’t make everyone happy. Some people just need to complain. As you can see from my 4.8 (out of 5) star rating, the majority love it here. I’m sure if you stay here, you won’t be disappointed. I have another vacation rental in Weeki Wachee about 20 minutes South of the Chaz for next time or even this time. Check them out. They also are highly rated. Thank you for your interest and enjoy your stay.

This is my 5th vacation rental so I know how to do it. You can see my reviews on Check Out The River in Weeki Wachee VRBO #797194. I'm originally from Detroit but have also lived in Chicago for a very short while, Las Vegas for a few years, San Jose California for a few years, Maui for 12 years and in and out of St Petersburg Florida before settling in Weeki Wachee. I love the serenity and peacefulness of the river and enjoy the nature especially seeing the manatees right out my window and on the river.

Why they chose this property

This place is just as nice as the Weeki Wachee River only on a different river. The Chassahowitzka River is much larger and wider. It boasts the 7 Sisters Springs/Gulf of Mexico Access. Boaters love it. It comes with 4 kayaks & 1 canoe that you can launch right at the house but there are rental places are just a few blocks away. The house is on the corner lot with intersecting canals that lead to the Chassahowitzka River. As soon as you reach the River the springs on on your right. There is a map of the River in the house but you can also stop at the campground for more information and pick up a map there. "The Crack" is very nice and interesting to get to. The river runs 5 miles to the Gulf of Mexico with lots of tributaries along the route. The house is very quiet and peaceful. Sitting in the yard, or on the patio or on one of the two docks is always calming and serene. The house is laid out with an open floor plan and has everything you will need for a great stay.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located with Publix grocery store, Subway, McDonalds, 7-11, Walgreens, Dollar General, Gas, being only a few miles at the corner of Miss Maggie Drive and US Hwy 19. You can visit lots of attractions from this home going North, South or East. Tampa with Busch Gardens, MOSI museum, Riverwalk a little over an hour from here. Homosassa is about 15 minutes North of here and Crystal River is about 30 minutes North- Crystal River offers the Three Sisters Springs. Weeki Wachee is about 20 minutes South of here and has the Mermaid Show and a boat ride and a water park at the State Park. Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park offers a boat ride as well, bird watching trail, wildlife sanctuary (zoo of sorts), manatee viewing. & more. Tarpon Springs/Clearwater Beach is about an hour South of here with great Gulf Beaches. Pine Island and Bayport Beaches are at the end of Cortez Blvd in Weeki Wachee. Orlando and all its many theme parks is about 2 hours away. The house Cool Chaz has an awesome waterfront location with easy access for many day trips or just enjoy the day on the Chaz river right in the backyard.
