Old Florida bungalow on a tranquil Gulf Island Perfect for Couples or Anglers

Escape to this romantic Old Florida bungalow on a tranquil Gulf of America Island. Perfect for couples or anglers, relax on your private screened patio, savor stunning sunsets, or gather by the fire for unforgettable stargazing. Fire up the grill after a day of kayaking, fishing, or boating, and watch for dolphins, manatees, and coastal wildlife. This hidden gem offers a one-of-a-kind waterfront retreat near Weeki Wachee Springs and other Gulf Coast adventures. This charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath Bungalow is a true Old Florida coastal retreat. The fully equipped kitchen and screened-in patio with grill make dining a delight, indoors or out. Guests have access to the historic crab shack, which features a half bath, outdoor shower, fire pit, and fish cleaning station, plus the floating dock—perfect for kayaking, fishing, or tying up a boat up to 20 feet.
Just steps away are Norfleets General Store with boat ramp (for small fee), Aripeka Stone Crab Co., and connecting bridges, where you can enjoy stunning sunsets. This hidden gem offers a one-of-a-kind coastal experience in a serene Old Florida artist haven. Guests are welcome to text, call, or message via the app anytime. I’m always close by and available if needed, but I typically respect guests’ privacy and stay out of the way so you can fully enjoy your stay. While your space is entirely yours, the crab shack and dock are shared spaces, and you may occasionally see a neighboring resident. We kindly ask guests to be respectful of their privacy and to observe quiet hours between 9 PM and 8 AM to ensure a peaceful experience for everyone.

Great location for a couple. Even though it's a shared property, felt private and we enjoyed the quiet. The scenery was wonderful and natural, even though everything was a quick drive. We really enjoyed our visit!

Peaceful stay

My son and I enjoyed our stay at the Aripeka Island Retreat! Clean and cozy indoors and a wonderful location on the water with multiple outdoor areas to enjoy. A large screened in outdoor area along with additional seating areas near the dock with enjoyable decor. Kayaks and dock provided with beautiful scenery to enjoy. A close paddle to the Gulf, should you like the adventure, or calmer waters the other way should you choose. We also visited SunWest, close to the rental, where my son enjoyed wake boarding. In the evenings it is a quiet location where you can enjoy the stars. Fire pit and grill available. The owner was kind and caring and available for any needs during the visit.
