Come enjoy this tranquil retreat on the water! Beautiful 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom waterfront home on a canal with direct access to the Weeki Wachee River in less than a 5 minute paddle ride. This home has been completely updated. Fully stocked kitchen, newly furnished, backyard with grill, firepit, 4 single kayaks, and 2 double kayaks for your use. Enjoy looking for manatees and watching the mullet jump while sitting on the dock or paddling around the canals and river. All you need for a relaxing getaway!
This is our second time staying at this property and we had a great time. Our favorite spot would be the covered dock where we fished, swam, manatee watched, and enjoyed the week.
The property was very clean (appreciate that as we had some really unfortunate experiences in the past) It had everything we needed in the kitchen, extra blankets for bedrooms, and plenty of towels. The area was close to both grocery and bait stores:) We had a great time kayaking on the river and the dock was perfect for my sonâs fishing passion, plus the outside area was big enough when we had friends visit.Lisa (the owner) was very communicative, again very appreciative of that:) Had a great stay and would warmly recommend!
We had an awesome stay. Very clean and the main bed was very comfortable. Kayaked the river multiple times. Saw three manatee at the mouth of the canal. Very relaxing river float (downstream).
The house was very nice and clean,location was great! Everything we needed was was there . We enjoyed floating on the water right off the dock and we did see manatee right off the dock would highly recommend this place!!
We had a lovely long weekend here. It was clean and as advertised. We loved having the kayaks available to venture out on the canals and the river. We brought a couple of paddleboards tooâthe kids spent a lot of time on the water! Thanks for a lovely stay.
This was our second trip and it was wonderful! Very clean and great fishing. Needs a water hose in back area to clean off deck and a curtain on sliding glass door. Had problems with main bathroom door closing. Overall we look forward to visiting next year. Great place
We stayed at this property for 4 days and loved every minute. The location is close to the springs and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The house was very clean and had everything you may need while you stay. We spent most of our time kayaking or floating in the canal behind the house. We saw so many manatees I lost count. One day two baby manatees were playing in our canal for more than half the day. It was adorable to see how playful they are. We also saw dolphins and lots of turtles. We canât wait to come back.
My husband and I had the most relaxing vacation here. The house had everything you needed and the location was perfect. We spent most of our time on the dock by the water. The kayaking was amazing and we fished a lot. We were even able to spend an extra night. We will be planning g to come back soon
Second time staying here and couldnât ask for more! My husband and I enjoyed our kayaking trips and catching fish right from our own dock! The last night we were there we had a manatee come right to the dock to eat the grasses. It was amazing. Canât wait until we can book again!
We enjoyed our stay. The home was nice and clean. We only wished that the checkout was later, at 11 so we didn't have to set an alarm and feel rushed to clean up and leave. We would have liked to have had an extra hour to relax by the water before leaving. All else was good.
It was great for us. It was myself and grandson. I would recommend renting a boat just because the current is rough. They supplied Kayaks and we did use them and it was so much fun. I would go again and would stay here
Everything about this place is great. Location is awesome. Not far from everything, but far enough it's quiet and peaceful. Met the cleaning lady( which I might add came out on a Sunday to try to help) do to the fact that the TV remote was missing. She was great as well. Communication with the home owners was also great. They over nighted 2 brand new remotes and a box of batteries. Sitting under the bocks shelter while it rained for a day was so relaxing as well. Would stay here again.
Ground level, spacious, great location, excellent pricing
From the outside, the ground level [a real bonus feature for us 70 year olds!) home looks small. But inside, it is so spacious and well planned out. The step up into each front bedroom was a few inches higher than a normal step, but as advertised and posed no real issue when used carefully. Having 2 1/2 modern, well placed bathrooms is a real plus. There are 3 separate seating areas that suit different needs. The house is fresh, clean and newly remodeled. The master ensuite is isolated from the living area which gives it privacy. Having a washer and dryer to use was so convenient. The kitchen is spacious and suited we 3 couples and 2 additional family members. The covered deck right on the river was a real bonus. As was the floating dock with plenty of kayaks. We played games at the comfortable seating area and fished right from the deck.We watched dolphins right in the canal and a mama manatee with 2 calves lingered and fed directly alongside the deck. We watched them within feet! Such a treat! Turtles swam in front daily.We enjoyed the firepit for an evening of game playing. Overall, we couldn't have chosen a better Host, location or home for our 5 sister, 3 brothers-in-law, a nephew and a grandson reunion. We had so many vehicles due to coming from 5 different areas a boat trailer to park, but Lisa gave us clear instructions on how to fit them all in the driveway and front yard, which was greatly appreciated. Don't miss out on this great home!
The outside definitely needs some attention, front and back mostly just appearance. The house is equipped with everything, which makes it nice, there is a huge step to either bedroom so be careful with that. The beds to us were way too soft, and the couch needs to be replaced but we made due as the river was amazing. Its a cute house and the location is great
Nice small rental on the canal.
Old house that is remodeled nicely.
I wished the beds were more firm, as both my brother and I had a little bit of a hard time sleeping as they were saggy.
Mini split units did not work even after calling the owner for instructions, the compressor would not come on.
All in all the house worked for us, although we were a little chilly one night and a little hot a couple nights later.
The home was well represented in the VRBO presentation.. The pictures showing updates were right on. It was clean and comfortable and had all the little necessities (toilet paper, paper towels, bar soap, hand soap, coffee filters, salt & pepper etc.) needed to keep from having to run to the store. The kitchen was well stocked.
It was just right to accommodate 4 people. Might get a little crowded with six, but could be done.
It was pleasant to sit out on the dock and enjoy the cool early morning breeze and sunrise.
