It doesn't get better than this!

I can't say enough about how nice this stay/place was! It was our first time to the Port Richey area - and I'm sure we'll be back. The views are exactly as seen in the listing - and the patio/deck/gazebo are where we spent most of our time. Nothing beats lounging in the pool on a hot day with a view of the water.

Great Experience for the family!

Exactly as described. In a great little neighborhood and was perfect for our family getaway. Lots to do in area. Home was a fantastic home base. Home was spacious, and backyard was our favorite place. Bunkhouse would have easily accommodated more than our family of five. Great finishes, great rental.

Doesn't get any better!!!

I will start off by saying the location of the home is absolutely perfect. The home is well decorated and was very clean. There was my wife and I, and my best friend came with his wife to visit from out of state to celebrate their one year wedding anniversary. We couldn't have picked a better place, great views, & great restaurants very close by. I know we will definitely be staying again and I suggest you do as well. You will not be disappointed.

This property was everything that we needed and wanted for our guy's trip! Everything was pretty accurate from the posting and there was plenty of space for everyone! The host was readily available to answer any questions that we had. We even got to chat with the cool neighbor next door who promised to take us out on his boat when we come back because all the guys agreed that we would love to come back one day lol

Spring Break Getaway

We absolutely loved this beautiful house, and the location was perfect for our group of 11. There is plenty of outdoor space to relax, read, sunbathe, and watch for dolphins. The grandkids enjoyed fishing off the dock everyday and had a blast. Our son-in-law brought his boat for 3 days and we made several trips going into the Gulf fishing and we were able to have a meal off one of those trips. Truly one of our best vacations. We will definitely be returning as soon as we can. And Travis was probably the best host we have ever dealt with. Thank you, Travis!

Family Vacation

Booked this house for a family vacation to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday and it was incredible! Our family loves to sit and look at the water for fish and we saw plenty of fish as well as a dolphin! The weather wasn’t the warmest but there was plenty to do in the surrounding area to pass the time while it rained. We also were traveling with an 8 month old and took a day trip to the tarpon springs aquarium which was only about a 25min drive. Lots of great restaurants close to the house and on the water (our favorite was catches!). During our stay we had a few questions for the property manager and he was quick to respond every time which was very much appreciated! Would definitely bring the whole family back again.

Anniversary Getaway

This home is a beautiful waterfront property. The home, pool and gazebo offer great views of the water. We brought a boat to explore the area, which we kept at the floating dock. The home has been tastefully remodeled and is immaculately clean. 8 of us stayed to celebrate our 55th anniversary. Many good restaurants and shopping are nearby. The owner seemed genuinely interested in helping us enjoy our stay. We are talking about returning for an extended visit.

Amazing Stay

The house appears newly renovated and has absolutely stunning backyard (dolphins swimming by were a bonus!). The rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable and the house was very clean. There is no street parking allowed, but between the garage and driveway there is plenty of room. Check in was seamless. I would definitely recommend this property and would be more than happy to stay again!

Very peaceful nice place to stay

House is modernized and clean. Owners were good to deal with very responsive. Very peaceful and quiet location on the water. Large family was very comfortable with the space. We rented a pontoon locally and took advantage of the dock out back and were able to explore a bit. I would highly recommend as a peaceful family getaway in a beautiful location away from the hustle of disney florida.

About the host

Hosted by Travis Hodapp

Host profile image
This is my wife and I's first rental home. We live in Iowa and fell in love with the Port Richey area about 2 years ago and bought this house in the Fall of 2021. The newly renovated home was amazing, but when we saw the view off the patio we knew this was a home was right for us. Coffee or a cocktail on the gazebo fireside watching the sunrise or the dolphins play in the bay is hard to beat. We've done a complete renovation of the house after the hurricanes of 2024 and have made some very significant upgrades.

Why they chose this property

If your looking for a place with tons of stuff to do that isn't commercialized and touristy this is the place. The bars/restaurants don't gouge you on prices and you don't have the whoop it up weekend crowd every weekend. (Though things definitely light up on the weekends) Bands/live music and lots of fun events going on from Johnny Cash events to on the water events. Too many to list. But I'd highly encourage you look up New Port Richey and Port Richey events before coming.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing getaway without the touristy feel. Enjoy a long weekend or an extended stay in what we believe to be one of the most peaceful and yet eventful places we've ever visited.

Do not be afraid to reach out for recommendations for places to go or things to do. We are very proud of our home and the community and want to support you and the area as much as we can to make your stay as perfect as it can be.
