This house was amazing! It was clean, had everything we needed (plus more), and the view was perfect! The screened in porch was also our favorite place to be in the evenings. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back! Adults and teens had the best time.

New and clean place, and I don't think we found it lacking for anything! Plenty to do in the area, but between the provided kayaks and plentiful manatees, we didn't much need to leave the house.

⸻We had an absolutely incredible stay at this property and couldn’t have asked for a better vacation experience! The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment we arrived. The attention to detail really stood out and made it feel like a true home away from home.What truly made our stay exceptional was the property manager. Tanya was beyond amazing to work with—so responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire process. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our stay.We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, stress-free getaway. Truly one of the best rental experiences we’ve ever had!

It was much easier to spot manatees from the upper balcony than in a kayak ! Weekends are a big party atmosphere and neighbor likes classic rock , but much quieter during Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. Pine Island beach is lovely and only 5 minutes away . The Blackstone grill made dinners easy . We launched from State park ( must reserve time and pay ) and it was worth it to float DOWNSTREAM after high tide the whole six miles to house ! Very enjoyable lazy float then

Beautiful vacation home in Spring Hill, FL right on the Weeki Wachee river. The home is newer with fun and tasteful decor and loaded with extras and amenities. Our group was very comfortable and we enjoyed the home/kitchen/grill/outdoor living during our stay. Having kayaks and stand-up paddleboards with the self-launch dock was wonderful and convenient. We kayaked, swam, fished, explored the river and watched the river life float by. Saw manatee, fish, birds. Friendly neighbors made it enjoyable as well. We had great weather during our stay and also liked having lots of nearby restaurants, grocery stores and shopping within 15 minutes of the vacation home. Highly communicative hosts, the house was very clean and had all the comforts of home. Wouldn't hesitate to book again when staying in the Spring Hill area. Thanks Tonya and Toby!

This house was very clean! It supplied everything we needed to drop our bags and play on the river. We saw manatees from the porch everyday and explored the area with ease. The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked, water crafts were in good shape, and everything was tastefully decorated. Our family felt right at home. We would love to book again!

We always love our stay here! We saw manatees almost every day, which was such a treat. The fireplace was perfect for setting the cozy ambiance during a chilly weekend. We especially enjoyed the downstairs area with the TV for watching football. The kitchen is well stocked, which is great since we cook most of our meals. The space is very comfortable and welcoming. Don’t miss LaurieCue for some excellent BBQ while you’re in town!

We had a wonderful Christmas stay at this home and couldn’t be happier. This is our third stay with this host — we’ve stayed twice in their pink home, and Margaritaville is just as stellar.The house is decorated in a colorful theme that immediately makes you feel relaxed and on vacation. Parrot-heads will love this home! The Christmas tree and holiday touches were such a thoughtful surprise and made our stay feel extra special.The home is spotless, comfortable, and stocked with extended amenities that truly went above and beyond. This host consistently provides an outstanding experience, which is why we keep coming back. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Tonya at Riverlife

Host profile image
We are local Floridians who treasure the nature coast. Our dream was to build a home next to a beautiful Florida river. We are amazed at the gorgeous views of sea life and sunsets every time we stay there. We are excited to share our dream with you! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We are walking distance to a wonderful waterfront restaurant, Upper Deck, and Roger's Park. Some of our favorite local hangouts are Bayport Inn, Tropical Grille, Silver Dolphin, and Drunken Mullet. It's only a short boat ride to the Gulf and Hospital Hole is right around the bend up river. It's a perfect location to enjoy the best that the nature coast has to offer!

What makes this property unique

We love the architecture in Key West and decided to bring this flair to the river. We lost our favorite musician, Jimmy Buffett, in Sept 2023, the same day we purchased the lot to build. It was only fitting to keep his memory alive in the style and art work in our river home. We added a Tiki Bar, corn hole game, and parrots throughout to keep the parrot head vibe going! We hope you enjoy it!!
