About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Riverbend Retreat on the Little Manatee River
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!
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Little Manatee River State Park. Enjoy features like laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a Smart TV in the holiday home.
