About this house rental

Experience the magic of "Old Florida" at this unique hidden gem on the wild Little Manatee River. The other side of the river is the state park, and wildlife abounds: alligators, manatees, turtles, deer, hogs, hawks and pileated woodpeckers are common sights. Kayaking right from the house is super easy and beautiful. The house itself is very comfortable with two queen bedrooms and a pull-out sofa with a memory foam mattress. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking. The big screened porch is the best space to hang out. Outside there's a fire pit, hammock and swing. You feel far from everything, but it's only a ten minute drive to the commercial strip and the highway. This is a fantastic place for a romantic getaway or a fun family get-together. It's a natural wonder!

Very cute and relaxing cabin tucked away in nature. Super clean.

What a delightful change of pace, I loved the cottage’s peaceful location. The outdoor porch with birdsong serenade was a perfect place to start the day with a cup of coffee, and end the evening with a nightcap. Thank you!

It was a nice clean home it was fun riding the kayaks in the river and enjoying the scenery I got to see a pretty large alligator sun bathing in the mornings across the river! Would definitely recommend staying here if you love the outdoors and a quiet atmosphere
