About this property

Port Richey Cotee River Gem—Dock, Sports Court, Fun! 3/3, sleep 9+. LOCATION!

1 GB WiFi, 4 SmartTV, 2 kitchens, 3 refrigerators, 6 kayaks, 4 bikes, north facing screened porch for cool river views, south facing sun porch to warm up…

Located on the best street in Port Richey! Large yard, with lush tropical growth and stands of bamboo. Situated at the widest part of the river, not on a narrow canal. It feels more like a bay than a river. 3/4 acre corner lot gives more space from neighbors. No annoying HOA restrictions, park your small RV or leave your boat trailer on site.

Safe, laid-back historic neighborhood. This has been a special spot for at least a thousand years—there is a Native American temple mound just down the street. Johnny and June Cash had a home on the street as well. You’ll likely see more golf carts than cars. Close to Hwy 19 but feels world’s away….

Fish off the dock or get on the water--Gulf of Mexico is a short 1/3 mile away. Boat rentals nearby or bring your boat. Kayaks on site—Sea kayak or paddleboard to sandy Durney Key just offshore, en route look for dolphin, manatee, snook, snapper, redfish, trout, sheepshead, stingray, sea turtle, and big schools of mullet and baitfish. Hop in the water and snorkel around Durney Key or near the historic stilt houses just offshore.

Play pickelball, soccer, volleyball, badminton and basketball on the court in the backyard. Practice your golfing short game with a couple putters and putting green. There's also a disc golf basket, cornhole (bean bag toss game), rebound net for soccer, and ping-pong on site. Fun to be had by all!

The house itself is a very well-maintained single level home with a unique “L” layout: the main house is two bedrooms (one room with king bed, the other room with a queen and a twin) that share a bathroom. The master suite is the offshoot to the East of main house, they are joined at the sunroom in rear of house.

Main house has nice original hardwood floors, central heat and A/C, fans in bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, living room, dining room.

There are two long couches in the living room, one is a queen-sized pull-out if you need more sleeping space. There is also a comfy recliner and an 55" HDTV. 1 GB Wifi throughout home.

A classic Florida screened-in front porch overlooks the river. The sun deck in back is covered by sun sails and has a grill waiting to be used…

The dining room table will seat up to 9, the well-equipped kitchen will seat two more at the breakfast bar. There’s filtered water for drinking, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, toaster, toaster oven, blender, coffee maker, electric hot water pot, dishes, utensils, pots and pans, etc…everything you need!

Laundry is located in the sunroom along with another small bathroom with shower.

Off the sunroom (or via a separate entrance from the carport if you'd prefer), is the large master bedroom suite (mother-in-law unit). A private area with its own bathroom, another full kitchen with sink, stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, pots and pans, dishes and utensils.

There is a Queen sized bed here and also two twin beds, massage table, and comfy chair to gaze out the large picture window at the greenery and river. A 50” Roku smart tv comes preloaded with Netflix, Prime, Hulu, YouTube TV etc.

Many happening restaurants nearby—Whiskey Joe's, Hooters, Gil Dawgs, Whiskey River, Catches....these are all very close by boat, walking, bike (four available on site) or car. Within 5 mins drive there is a Wal-Mart Supercenter, a couple Publix supermarkets, Winn-Dixie, Chipolte, Panera, BBQ, steak houses, Italian, Thai food, and a plethora of fast-food restaurants. House is within a mile of Hwy 19 yet feels worlds away.

Note, if you need a pool or to sleep more people, consider Don's wonderful yellow house down the street--its on vrbo.

Wonderful Old Florida
House is well equipped right down to the smallest things e.g. laundry detergent, note paper, barbeque equipment, filtered drinking water, and even cloth napkins. Old Florida landscaping with nature all around e.g. palms and plants usually house plants in the north. The dock put us within 3 feet of dolphins and manatees. Fishing yielded 9 varieties plus chances to see needle fish, horseshoe crabs, eagles and ospreys. And Taylor was dedicated to our having everything just the way we wanted it.

A Great February
Excellent location, quiet but a short drive to busy route 19. We enjoyed sitting on the dock watching the pelicans dive for fish and seeing dolphins occasionally. Taylor is an excellent host and was quick to respond to any questions. We will be staying here again.

Family getaway
We had a great time. This house is in a great location and we will definitely book this place again. Also a plus if you have a boat. Very nice and Taylor responds to any questions you may have very quickly.

Little slice of heaven!
What you see is exactly as photos are advertised. Neighborhood was awesome, owner was very helpful with anything we had a question about. The boys had a awesome time fishing from the dock. Don't let the fact that the dock is across the road affect your decision to stay here, it's right there. The road is not busy at all except for golf carts going slowly. The home has everything you will need, and great for little ones as there's not to much a toddler could get into that you couldn't put up. We will be returning to this rental.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I grew up in the customer service business, I enjoy making people happy. I'll be happy to share whatever knowledge I have of the area, answer any questions--or I can stay out of the way if you prefer!

One of my passions is to travel, and I know the types of things I look for in a place to stay, and hope to provide that. When not traveling, my home base is the carriage house apartment above the garage at the rear of the property.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family for 40 years. It is a very special place to us with many wonderful memories, and we know it will be for you as well!

This is not a "Vacasa" house, not that there's anything wrong with that! For me it makes a difference when booking if the owner is putting in the work on a personal property to make it shine, or if the owner is just using it as a revenue stream with multiple rentals and farming everything out to professionals.

What makes this property unique

The area is nicely situated for day trips. To the south is Tarpon Springs (10 mins), the historic Greek community with the Sponge Docks and Wall Springs. Dunedin (20 mins) is a charming town, nearby Honeymoon Island has a gorgeous state park beach. On south is Clearwater (30 mins) and its famous beach. From there the beaches stretch all the way south to Ft. DeSoto State Park (1 hr south).

Hip St. Petersburg and the must-see Dali Museum is within an hour, as is Busch Gardens and Ybor City in Tampa. Tampa airport is 35-40 mins south of the house.

To the north is the movie theater, Congo River Mini-Golf, Werner-Boyle Salt Springs Park (all within 7 mins drive), Check out Aripeka and it's old-school Florida feel on your way to Weeki Wachee (30 mins away) clear and cool springs fed river. Paddling here is another must-do--I've never not seen a manatee.

Orlando is doable in a power day, it's a 2 hour drive to Disney and other theme parks.
