The home is clean and updated even more than it looks in the pictures. It was very comfortable for my family of four. You can stay there the whole time or there's restaurants and shopping close. The first day there we kayaked down to the river and found manatees right away. It was pretty awesome.

The house was very clean and had a fully stocked kitchen. The first morning a manatee swam right by and there is a friendly otter that was spotted several times. The only thing we did not think about was when the tide goes out it is too low to get the kayaks into it. Other than that we would definitely stay again. Beautiful location and the hot tub was great. Thank you.

Great stay at the river

My family and I had a great stay at the house on the Weeki Wachee River. We enjoyed using the canoes to go up the river toward the springs. Side note: take a right if you are trying to get to the river - we went the wrong way the first time! But we had a great adventure and I loved showing my girls the beauty of old Florida - as well as the mermaids!

A must stay …rated highly for a reason

We loved that it was secluded and had so much onsite to do. Kayaking, hot tub, fire pit, games, fishing poles, and all the essentials needed for your stay. The sandy back yard was perfect for our infant. We really enjoyed it as did our teenage son who loved taking the kayaks out. It’s not too far of a paddle to beautiful water. Water was a bit low when we stayed but so nice still. We would stay again!

Stayed for a long weekend, house very well maintained, perfect for the two of us. I loved that it was obviously clean but didn't have that strong bleach smell that some rentals have. Only negative is that the hot water is very limited but other than that, A+. Felt like home, would stay again for sure!

Home away from home

We really enjoyed this property and all its amenities. It's very well appointed, clean, and comfortable in all respects. The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away. Access to the canal without being on the main (crowded) canal is perfect. We saw one magnificent manatee in Weeki Wachee even late in the season. The backyard area is perfect for enjoying a quiet morning or evening watching for local cranes that frequent the area. We would stay again.
