Norm's River House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Ahoy matey! This quaint Ruskin home, lovingly named Norm's River House, boasts an abundance of nautical charm and dock access. Under the warm Florida sun, explore the area's numerous outdoor recreation hotspots such as Apollo Beach Nature Preserve and Little Manatee River State Park, or board a fishing charter with Instinct Fishing Co. A variety of golf clubs, restaurants, and shops are also available for your exploration.

Back inside Norm's River House, the comfortable interior showcases fun mementos and unique decorations - like the kitchen's fishing pole ceiling. When you aren't whipping up delicious dishes in this space, head for the cozy living room complete with a soft sofa and large TV.

The home's bedrooms are equally serene with perks like soft linens and ceiling fans. There is even a work desk available in the home, great for creative projects! A private washer/dryer and central air-conditioning round out the interior perks.

Outside, prepare your catch of the day on the grill while the furry members of your family stretch their legs. As the stars begin to fill the night sky, gather around the firepit and end another day in vacation with a s'more in hand and your favorite people by your side.

Nice getaway
We are a family of 6 with 4 kids under 12. Fishing off the docks for our kiddos was amazing. The space was amazing and offered plenty of room to space out. We enjoyed not being pent up in a hotel room so this was a great choice for us.
