New
Port Richey is bordered by cattle and horse
ranches to the east and the waters of the Gulf of
Mexico to the west. The scenic Cotee river runs
through the city of New Port Richey and on into
the Gulf, an ideal location for snorkelling, scuba
diving, boating and fishing.
As
a villa rental location, the area's main appeal is
it's close proximity to Orlando. New Port Richey
is only a two hour drive from Orlando. The area is
also very close to Tampa and Clearwater (45 minute
drive). Another attraction of this area is the
extremely competitive rental rates, prices are low
compared to the rest of the Gulf Coast.
As
a tourist attraction, he area enjoys a healthy
mixture of entertainment, nature and cultural history.
Exiting tours run through the enchanting jungle
areas of the Cotee river where you will see
various local wildlife including alligators and
parakeets. The area also benefits from a number of
recreational areas and parks, and celebrates it's Native
American history with various festivals throughout
the year. The area has plenty of fast food chains,
jeans and sneaker stores and outlet malls but
doesn't have any major theme parks. The beaches
are small and intimate, often rocky and broken up
with inland waterways, not the long sandy
stretches found further south. This is not really
the ideal location choice for those looking for a
beach holiday, more suited to guests looking for a
quiet, relaxing vacation.
Closest
theme park attractions are in the Tampa area, a 45
minute drive will bring Busch Gardens, Adventure
Island waterpark and Tampa Aquarium within your
reach. |
