Wonderful visit!

This house is lovely and very well appointed with anything you might need. It was perfect for our group of six. We spent most of our time sitting by the river and watching all the activity going by. We also made good use of the kayaks and paddle boards that are provided. Highly recommend taking advantage of the put-in at Weeki Wachee state park and paddling the 6 miles back to the house. It's magical.

Slice of paradise

The bright yellow margaritaville vacation home was above our expectations. We got a lot of use of the screened in room, the kitchen was well stocked, and beds comfortable. We spent most our time watching the manatees swimming past. Neighbor Sue shared her knowledge of the river with us. All the stars!!!

Christmas Getaway!

We had an incredible stay on the Weeki Wachee River, just a short 5-minute kayak trip to the famous Hospital Hole where we got to see manatees up close! The host went above and beyond to make our visit truly special, decorating the house beautifully for Christmas with a tree, festive lights, and even leaving a thoughtful card and gift. The house itself was immaculate and stocked with absolutely everything we could have needed—it was the perfect combination of comfort and convenience. This cozy retreat was ideal for a relaxing getaway, and the serene river setting made it unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Amazing home in an amazing place!

I visited with two friends for a birthday getaway and we were all so impressed with this home. The attention to detail and care that went into this property is so evident. The hosts were very responsive from the beginning. The home is spotlessly clean. The beds are comfortable, the sheets are high quality. The decor is so fun and cohesive. Everything you could need is available, from kitchen supplies to kayaks and a padddleboard. The location is just perfect, close to everything but still so quiet and peaceful. The river was beautiful, we saw so many manatees. We did not want to leave and cannot wait to go back!

Fabulous home right on the Weeki Wachee River

What a spectacular home! We have rented the pink one next door 3 x's but I have to say I am in love with the yellow one now! Both are amazing homes with incredible views and so many awesome upgrades. From the moment you drive up to this gorgeous home with its spacious paved driveway you will be smitten. Brand new and with such a fun and happy decor, I loved all the parrot artwork and Jimmy Buffet memorabilia. Truly a tropical ambiance that is balanced with all of the high-end finishes and upgrades in this home. The river is absolutely breathtaking with its crystal clear almost blue/green water and teeming with activity from manatees to all of the paddle boarders and kayaker's. A water playground to be enjoyed. My favorite spot is to get breakfast in the dreamy kitchen and then sit out on the balcony and enjoy the views. The beds are super comfortable, soft sheets, plush towels like you are at a 5-star resort. The lower-level entertainment has a large tv, comfy furnishings, grill, and a tropical tiki with bar that is the essence of the Margaritaville theme. I also really appreciated the Adirondack chairs out back and the cool umbrellas which were perfect for relaxing in. The dock is so nice with plenty of hand holds and a ladder to get out easily. We have already booked again and will look forward to enjoying another amazing time on the river. Thank you, Tobie and Tanya, for being such fantastic owners and for sharing your spectacular home!

Nice new build on the river

We enjoyed the house and location. The owners were kind and accommodating! We really liked being on the river and the many amenities that they have at the house. We experienced a few quirks while staying here: 1) The neighbor constantly had their music playing loudly from 9 am to 9pm every single day (not exaggerating)-this was disappointing for us because we couldn't even hear the sounds of the birds or nature while being on the back deck. 2. The kitchen is well stocked but with all melamine and nonstick pans. While we appreciate having a fully stocked kitchen there were no non-toxic cookware or dishes available. 3. There are cameras in the front and downstairs-while I understand the camera in the front, I always find the ones pointed indoors to be uncomfortable-we didn't spend any time in that space due to that. 4. The house was well decorated with good furnishings but some of the toiletries were so cheap-we bought our own toilet paper because it was sooo paper thin. Also, there are no beach towels as it states in listing- So bring your beach towels. Be careful of the bed corners-those will reach out and grab your shins!!! We really enjoyed the location, as stated it is right down the river from the Hospital Hole. On the last few days of our stay we saw a few manatees. We appreciate how responsive the owners were as well as providing us with a sleeping accommodation for our infant. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Tonya at Riverlife

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!!
