Awesome Florida Canal Home

Beautiful Port Richey Florida on the Gulf of Mexico--Come stay with us in this newly renovated 3 Bedroom 3 Bath waterfront/canal home. Its location is perfect for anyone wanting to experience all that Gulf Coast Living has to offer. Many of Florida’s main attractions are conveniently located in your own back yard: Inshore flats fishing, off shore fishing, scuba diving, white sand beaches, the turquoise Gulf waters, wild life of all kinds including dolphins, manatees, fish, ibis, pelicans, cranes, geckos as well as the area’s famed graceful sea tortoises (don’t be surprised if you see a few of the aforementioned creatures right on the dock or in the canal out back!)
Of course, if you have kids with you they’ll want to visit nearby Busch Gardens, Lego Land, The Florida Aquarium and let’s not forget Adventure Island!
When you’re not out and about enjoying the Florida great outdoors, there’s plenty of peaceful “down time” available to you back at the house via a hot, soothing bath in the large Jacuzzi tub, great meal you can cook in the modern kitchen, movies you could watch on one of the 5 flat screens in the house-- HD TV as well as high speed wireless internet.
Just up the street is a scuba diving school and a short drive away are PLENTY of stores for those of you who feel a little “shopping therapy” is in order. Whichever way you look at it, this home is perfect for the famed “Florida Vacation Experience” as it has Gulf access, it’s in a great neighborhood with down to earth but water-lovin’ people.

  Very nice house, gorgeous view and fun toys to use. We were able to host 16 for Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone enjoyed the Sunset patio. The house was very well equipped. Property management company was spot on with our requests.

  Had a wonderful time. The house was perfect. Fishing off the dock was not good but we rented a boat and caught a lot of fish in the flats. Everything in the house was great.

  a guest from Dixon, IL recommends this vacation rental

  The home is awesome and came with everything we needed, i.e dishes, utensils, towels, including beach towels. The inside of house is very roomy with a great deal of living space. Upper balcony was wonderful for watching dolphins and the many boats passing by. If you plan to watch for dolphins, check the tide schedule daily, plan to watch for just after high tide, you have a good chance to see some; pack binoculars. Nice neighborhood for walking, very friendly people. Good restaurants include Rum River tiki hut, Catches, Gill Dawgs. We used the kayaks and the pool due to the weather cooperating. Went on nature tour boat, it's really a nice look at the river and all the old Hollywood actors' homes and then into the gulf to see the stilt houses. Golf was inexpensive. Weather was awesome. After record lows in January (in N. Illinois), we had record highs in February, in Florida. Thank you David for your assistance with our rental plans and your response after we arrived. Nice to know that you were there if we needed something. We hope to return.

  a guest from MIDLAND, MICHIGAN recommends this vacation rental

  House was better than expected. The pictures don't do it justice. It was a wonderful and quiet place for our three families to enjoy spring break. The only down fall may be that for those with families, it is a little far from a lot of the "main" attractions and/or nice beaches.

  a guest from Russiaville, In does not recommend this vacation rental.

  For the most part, this home was nice, and would have been what we desired. However, the pool was freezing cold, we tried several times to text and call him regarding this only to find out, from the pool cleaner, that the solar heating panels were leaking so there was no access to a heated pool. Communication with the Property Management group was less than desirable. He was not easily contacted. The front door handle was locked, which after trying to contact him via calling him and the Management company, text, email, I even looked he and his girlfriend up on facebook to contact him. After an hour or so of being locked out, he finally called us back, only to tell us that the handle shouldn't have been locked. I'm guessing he communicated the instructions to the previous tenant, just as well as he communicated with us. Later in our stay, the door handle was inadvertently locked. We called, texted him again, and again it took forever for him to be reached. We asked him to let us know if we were going to be able to access the house or if we were going to have to wait. We NEVER received any kind of message back. After a day out we returned home to thankfully finding the handle unlocked. But a message would have been nice. Could have gone much smoother and made for a better review.

  Terra M from Sylva, NC recommends this vacation rental

  The home was in a great location. It overall was beautiful and clean. David, the rental specialist was very nice and helpful. The main complaint that I have is that the pool was not heated and at one point it started the pump started making a noise and it filled with what looked liked dirt. So while we had hoped to have used the pool we were not able to use it at all during our stay. Also we were disappointed that it advertised that there was a hot tub on site. When we arrived we found that this wasn't so. In reality it should have advertised a Jacuzzi tub and not listed it as a hot tub. Again though I will say the house itself was beautiful and in a beautiful location. Perfect view of the sunset. David was as helpful as he could be.

  Charles P from Turtletown, TN recommends this vacation rental

  We needed to rent a home in the Port Richey area at the last minute. We chose our dates (Jan 31-Feb 28, 2017). David from Pytha called me to confirm the dates. When we arrived we were amazed at how HUGE this house was. It was spotless inside and out. Everything we needed was there. Right on the bay with Gulf access for our boat. Every night the sunsets were beautiful. David was always available to answer any questions we had. We also met the Owner for a few minutes when we arrived. A very nice Man. We rent homes in Florida every Winter and we can tell you this home is one of the best we ever rented. We give it 5 stars+++.
  There were only 2 of us so the house was a little large for us, but we highly recommend this home to anyone wanting easy access to the Gulf and shopping minutes away. Perfect for large Families with lot of Kids.
  We drove to Disney World only 2 hours away and less time to Tampa Bay.
  This home is in a Court so there is no traffic and the Neighborhood is very quiet.
  Thanks again for a wonderful 30 days in beautiful Port Richey, Florida.
  It is great to work with a Property Management Company you can trust from the first day to the last.
  Chuck & Kat.

  Nancy V from Dunwoody, GA recommends this vacation rental

  We rented this home because it is near our parents in New Port Richey. You should have seen our reaction upon entering the house. The layout is really neat, all the bedrooms on one side and living area on the other. The pictures do not do it justice! It is gorgeous and the view is amazing! The sunsets from the back deck are gorgeous. We were only there 3 nights but would definitely rent this again. You will not be disappointed!
