Updated waterfront home, great manatee viewing, dock, 5 minute paddle to river!
Enjoy the water views from the screen porch or sit in the Adirondack chairs out on the dock (where you can also tie your boat). Paddle the crystal clear Weeki Wachee river in one of the 4 kayaks (one tandem, three singles) or canoe or paddle board - just a 5 minute paddle from the house. Swim off the dock in the canal or in the main river. We have a water mat you can lounge on off the dock. Excellent manatee, turtle, large water bird, and flying mullet viewing from the house. Large, open concept living room/dining area, well appointed kitchen, updated master bathroom. Fire pit overlooking water. Bike the quiet Weeki Wachee Gardens neighborhood on the 2 bikes provided. Great restaurants and breweries nearby. 10 minute drive to see the mermaids at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park and Buccaneer Bay Water Park. Easy day trip to Homosassa Springs State Park and Crystal River, or head south to Tampa/St. Petersburg. Or - never leave the tranquility of the house and our quiet canal!
The home was perfect, inside and out. The location was perfect also. The neighborhood was super quiet. It was exactly what we wantwd for a relaxing weekend on the river. We will definitely be back and highly recommend a stay there!
Host was excellent! They reached out to me even before the trip to let me know everything was ready and to see if I needed anything else. House was perfect. Very clean with plenty of amenities. Enjoyed relaxing on the screened in porch as well as the dock. Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
This is an amazing place, we loved everything about it. We stayed for a 55th birthday celebration and the home was perfect. Upon arriving, we walked to the back water and admired the landscaping. The yard is private from the neighbors and beautiful. The outdoor sitting area and dock were perfect for a a quiet night by the water. The home is finished beautifully inside, spacious, and immaculately clean! A very nice kitchen, although we ate sandwiches and meals out, so we could enjoy more time outside on the screened porch and deck upstairs. The master bath has a great shower! We used the kayaks, canoe, and SUP to go up the river, which is within 5 minutes from the house via the canal. We saw Manatee at the dock in front of the house and on the river! The best thing about the house, a wonderful host! Looking forward to staying here again in the future!
Wir waren drei NĂ€chte im Haus und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Check-In verlief reibungslos. Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt, war sauber und alles was man benötigt war vorhanden.Wir hatten das GlĂŒck bei unseren AusflĂŒgen viele Manatees zu sehen.Wir können die Unterkunft auf alle FĂ€lle weiterempfehlen und wĂŒrden wieder kommen.
Lovely place to stay for a nice, long, relaxing weekend. Great access to the river. Plenty of amenities at the house. Clear instructions. Comfortable Sleep Number bed! Kayaks and water mat were fun. Would book again! Thank you!
Our group stayed for a small adventure but absolutely loved the family style feel of the place. The location was beautiful and we spotted manatees and crabs from the porch. It had great shopping nearby and wonderful restaurants, I recommend the hibachi. Honestly a great getaway if you're looking for a peaceful place surrounded by nature.
Excellent experience. Cleanliness was a priority to me. The house had everything we needed, and the communication with Host was great.Will be going back.
This property exceeded our expectations in so many ways. We had everything we needed and more. Kayaks. SuPs and swim mat were a.huge hit with the kids and adults. Communication with owner was easy and we will definitely stay again
Very clean, great property with everything you need! Great location to the main Weeki Wachi River. Very friendly Owner and Property Manager. We gad such a wonderful trip we cant wait to come back!
We had a great stay! The house was very niceâclean, comfortable, and just as described. The host was fantastic with communication, always quick to respond and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. The weather was not the best but all the comforts of the house made for a great short trip with our family. The house was well equipped and we hope to visit again.
We had a great time and even saw a couple of manatee while drinking coffee on the dock. Great accommodations with lots of amenities included to make our stay fun!
This house had everything we needed! We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights here. We rode the bikes one day. Went kayaking from the dock and were lucky enough to see manatees. The beds are comfy and the kitchen is well-furnished. And the neighborhood is quiet except for the constant sound of birds!! :-) Thank you!
Thank you to Greg & Dawn! e stayed Thanksgiving week and my wife prepared the holiday meal. The house was immaculate. It was everything the listing promised. We loved kayaking on the river with the turtles and manatees. We will be back.

We had a wonderful stay in this comfy, well stocked home. We enjoyed the kayaks and bikes. Easy to bike around all the neighborhoods. Loved sitting in the morning on the screened in porch watching the mullet jump and in the afternoons watching the wood storks. The host quickly answered any questions I had. You can tell this is a well loved and cared for home. Wish we could have stayed a little longer.
We had an amazing time staying here! Was the best location, short paddle down the canal to the main river, with plenty of exciting wildlife!
Beautiful clean home!
Much needed vacation for newly retired dad, 2x cancer survivor mom and autistic son. Weather was great. Loved sitting in the screened-in porch every morning for breakfast while watching fish jump across the canal. Enjoyed taking out the kayaks for trips up and down the canals and on the river. Short paddle to Hospital Hole, Rogers Park and docking at the Upper Deck for lunch or dinner. Equal distance to two larger towns for the big-box shopping and dining but plenty of local eating establishments. About an hour to Tampa or St. Pete/Clearwater areas. Great trip and can't wait to plan next year!
Everything about our stay was amazing. The house was spotless and had everything you might need. The hosts were fantastic! The house is a very short paddle to the main river and the kayaks and paddle boards were great quality. If youâre thinking about booking this house, DO IT! You wonât regret it.
We live in Virginia and balance our time between kids and work, trying to get to Weeki Wachee, Florida as frequently as possible. We love the outdoors and still can't believe the beauty of the Weeki Wachee river with its crystal clear waters and amazing wildlife. The swimming can't be beat and the manatees are truly magnificent! Our long term plan is to make Weeki Wachee our permanent home. Until then, we are happy that we can give others the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of this part of the United States.
We fell in love with Weeki Wachee, Florida in 2015 and have been coming back frequently ever since. We love the manatees and other wildlife in the neighborhood, paddling on the river, visiting the mermaids, and enjoying the great restaurants and breweries nearby. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are friendly, great for morning runs, bike rides and evening walks. It is a true escape and relaxing holiday!
