3/2 FL GULFSIDE ISLAND BEACH HOUSE. 5-STAR FOR 6. BOOK 5 NITES & 6th IS FREE!


Book for 5 nights and the 6th night (upon availability) is free!

Our 3/2 Gulfside Beach House was UNSCATHED FROM HURRICANE HELENE AND HURRICANE MILTON'S UNFORGIVING RATH! NO WIND OR WATER DAMAGE.

Stay at our authentic Florida, Gulfside Island Beach, Stilt House. There aren't a lot left in Florida anymore. Huge 800sf. outdoor wrap-around enjoyment deck facing the beautiful 600-mile-wide Gulf. A beach (Only for our VRBO guests and island residents, occasionally. No one else.) a few steps away. Lots of palm trees, a gentle warm Gulf breeze, your favorite beverage and a glorious "beachside" sunset most every night. You have arrived. Welcome! So, Relax. Decompress. Enjoy. Ahhh!

We are located at 3481 Harbor Drive, Spring Hill (Weeki Wachee), FL 34607, in Hernando County. Located on a little Gulfside Island ONE HOUR NORTH of Tampa Airport & Clearwater, FL. Referred to as Little Pine Island. Fly to Tampa (TPA), and 1 hr. later you are on a Gulfside Island with your toes in the sand! Our beach is a natural one and maintained solely by Mother Nature; no one else. It is at the end of our dead-end street only 100 feet away.

STILL AT 2022 RATES! NO PRICE INCREASE FOR 2025! Book early before others do. Book for 5 nights and the 6th night (upon availability) is absolutely free! Our way of saying thank you for your business. Free cancellation up to 14 days before check- in. We are a VRBO 5- Star Premier Host with 51 reviews.

This is the home of the world famous "Weeki Wachee Springs Park Mermaids" (a live underwater theater Mermaid show) since 1947. Just 15 minutes away. Rent a kayak and drift down the crystal clear Weeki Wachee River. Awesome! You'll always remember it. And they bring you back to your car. Perfect.

Our beach has: No sudden drop-offs, no dangerous rip tides or undertow and no dangerous surprises. Maybe some seaweed, compliments of Mother Nature. Just a very gradual taper that's fun for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, right there, (close to shore), there's a good chance you will see wild dolphins pass in front of you. No crowds. No traffic. No driving around looking for a parking space. No - "Are we there yet?" No stress! Simply leave your car in our shaded parking space under the house, grab your sunscreen, towel, beach chair and go. Relax in this secluded island paradise away from the crowded, packed beaches of everywhere else. A perfect "Seaclusion" spot for Honeymooners. Glorious sunsets await you. Everything you need is there. Features included in your Gulfcoast Beach House vacation:

Great kayak trip

Gulf side island house had everything we needed. Was clean, comfortable, and in a gorgeous location that was close to several amazing kayaking rivers and springs. We will definitely book this gem again to investigate some more kayaking spots.

Dolphin paradise!

It is a wonderful place to stay and play as a family. The beach is private, so there were no worries with kids taking a walk on the beach by themselves. The house was clean and had tons of extras. They had everything down to coffee filters, cooking oil, fishing poles with tackle, beach toys, snacks and more! We were lucky and saw dolphins every day, along with lots of different sea life. Would highly recommend!

Incredible vacation spot

Larry and Cristina were exceptional hosts. Our family had a great time staying at this property. The grandchildren did not want to leave and neither did we. Once Larry and Cristina heard we were bringing our grandchildren, they bought sand toys for the kids and had them sitting on the kitchen table. They went the extra mile to make us feel welcomed. If you like to get away from the hustle and bustle of resort areas, this spot is for you. It is very quiet and pretty much secluded. We had the beach area to ourselves and only saw about five other people there during our three weeks stay. There are a handful of local restaurants in the area that are come as you are and extremely friendly. We met so many locals and had a great time! We are planning to come back sometime in the future. Thank you, Larry & Cristina,.

Restful Vacation Spot

We were very pleased with our vacation at this location. The house was clean, neat, and as advertised. The property owner was very nice and helpful. If a person is looking for quiet, peaceful, secluded house with unbelievable sunsets, this is the location for them. It was everything we hoped for in a beach house rental. Our family hopes to stay at this house again in the future.

Florida Visit

We chose the property for it's location (near Brooksville where our son lives) and the privacy of being located on a small island. The property is very nice and in a great location away from high traffic tourist areas. Larry (the host) was top notch. He contacted us to make sure we had no problems getting in and answer any questions we had, and left a basket of snacks and fresh flowers for our visit.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family since 1974. The house was built in 1985 and has had tender loving care ever since. We added the huge 800sf sun deck a few years ago. And an additional 800sf deck at ground level. Yes, 1600sf of activity deck to enjoy. What a fun place to relax and enjoy the view of the Gulf of Mexico. We also have a full-size building lot directly next to the house; that is grassed and mowed. So, your kids have plenty of room to burn up that energy before bedtime. Watch them play from the deck. We just gave it a fresh new coat of 'Beachy Sunset Coral" house paint and Pure White railing paint for that: "Decompress. Relax. Enjoy. Ahhh!" feeling you deserve. We love it. Hope you will too.

What makes this property unique

We are pleasantly close to everything you could possibly need but remains private and off the beaten path. We call it "Seaclusion." However, some people refer to it as "The Mermaid House." This is our family's private beach home and has always been maintained and treated with the utmost care and attention to detail. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
