About this property

Reel Paradise is located at the end of a quiet street and the home sits on the Little Manatee River and has direct access to Tampa Bay.

Wake up, pack your cooler, step foot on your boat or kayak and enjoy fishing Tampa Bay, Cockroach Bay Preserve, Beer Can Island, Egmont Key and many more. This area is well known to local anglers as Tampa Bay’s premier fishing spot.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea A Denhart

Host profile image
Hello! We are Andrea and Karl Denhart. We have a little boy and a chocolate lab. We love fishing, swimming, walking, bike riding, yoga, gardening and cooking. We are so excited to have you say at Reel Paradise. It was home for us for several years. We love the space and love everything about life on the river. We still scream with excitement when we see dolphin, manatee or fish jump out of the water. We live next door now, so while we will not bother you during your time here, we are accessible should you need anything. We look forward to meeting you!

Why they chose this property

We are located at the end of a quiet street and it is so quiet and peaceful.

What makes this property unique

There is no other water like Reel Paradise on the Little Manatee River. It is stunning!
