Great location and very nice home

We stayed at River House for a month and found the location to be very convenient — there are 2 restaurants within a 5-minute walk (We really liked Bayou Bistro) — also it is a short walk into town and the sponge docks The Host was very nice and easy to communicate with — one of the beach chairs broke and the host had a new set there immediately — there are docks out front which made sitting and watching wildlife a regular activity —many birds, dolphins, and especially mullet jumping The home was well appointed with all the pots and pans needed to cook in as well as a nice BBQ gas grill — most nights we ate outside on the patio — the property offers easy access to the Pinellas Trail for biking enthusiasts Tarpon Springs has many fun places to get a fresh brew or a wonderful meal and yet retains an old Florida vibe All in all a great month at River House was had

So great!

We stayed the month of February. Fantastic house in a fantastic location! Plenty of space, well-stocked kitchen, grill, bikes, kayaks, very clean, fenced yard for our dog. Each bedroom has own bath. The location can’t be beat! We walked everywhere, church, store, restaurants, Spongedocks, downtown strip, and the bayou to see manatees! The owner was friendly and easy to communicate with. Was hoping to stay next year but already booked! Hopefully we’ll be back sometime!

River house

We enjoyed staying at the River House. It's proximatey to Tarpon Spings shopping was great. The house was large and comfortable. The Television had no cable, only streaming. The host responded well to any questions we had. The river frontage is hard to see and enjoy due to all the frontage had docks which were full of boats. Before we left, we asked the host if we could stay again the following year, and he said no, as he had already rented it out.

Why they chose this property

I have always dreamed of owning waterfront property and 201 Roosevelt Blvd was my jewel. Originally owned and built by the famous author Lois Lenski in 1951. Our personal family boats are docked here and our family enjoys the property as much as we can. The entire property has been renovated with comfort in mind
