Nice and cozy

This is my 1st time booking with Vrbo and the whole process was pretty easy. Our family of 6 stayed here for 2 nights.It was me, my husband and our 4 boys ages 16, 11, 6, and 1.2 nights was simply not long enough.The home was very cute, nice, and cozy. The only thing we really used the house for was to eat, sleep, and shower. So the size of the house didnt matter at all. This house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Inside had a griddle!!! Thats a big plus for my family!Outside- had a canoe, paddleboards, and kayaks, bikes, life vest. I didnt see a watermat.... i didnt look very hard nor did I ask for it either but if it had 1, finding it would've been a bonus for the 1 and 6yr old to play on together. The screened in part outside was extremely helpful with my 1 year old. It has a little tv outside and we brought toys from home so he was right in his element.He also couldn't open any of the doors so that was a plus!On the water, and thats where we spent most of our time.Everyone in the neighborhood was so nice and friendly my kids dont meet any strangers so it was really nice to see them interact with everyone else sitting outside as we paddled by. EVERYONE was on the lookout for manatees!!! And everyone helped everyone spot them!!! We saw manatees both days we were there.My son lost his phone and license in the water as soon as we got there. Bitter sweet moment. He enjoyed himself more without his phone.But if anyone finds it please let us know!

Weeki river fun

We stayed at the Wet Feet retreat for 4 nights the last week of March. It was amazing. The house has its quirks but it is a great little river cottage. The main river is a 5-10 minute paddle from the house and the water is very clear. We would highly recommend.

Great time on the water

Very nice house on the water just off the Main Weeki Wachee river. If you love kayaking, scuba or snorkeling, and Manatees, you'll love this house. At night you can sit on the deck and enjoy the firepit as well.

Girls Trip

Three of us old friends planned our gathering and loved our stay at the Wet Feet Retreat. House was absolutely perfect. Close to everything. Had every single thing we needed - even things we didn't know we needed. Was clean and modern and very homey and comfortable. Weeki Wachee / Spring Hill is a wonderful laid back town - can't wait to return.

Relaxing location

Cute house, very clean. We had a great time on the river. Parking was a little tight with our boat, but overall a fantastic experience. Kitchen was a great size and the little screened in patio was a blessing with the mosquitos at night.

Stayed for a weekend with family for a girls trip and had a lot of fun! Enjoyed the swim mat and kayaks. Everyone loved the beds and it just felt very cozy and comfy! Also got to see 3 manatees and a dolphin from the dock 😊 Would recommend staying there!

Great Location

This property has a great location. It’s a very short paddle to the upper deck for lunch or to hang out at Roger’s park. It also has a floating dock which worked great for getting in and out of our Jon Boat. The Maui mat and kayaks were great to have as well. We were able to see several manatees and even some dolphins while visiting. If you haven’t been to weeki you are missing out!

Breaking technology curse

I have a 14 and 16yr old teens that are obsessed with phones and electronics. This was a wonderful stay, all the water toys were there and available to use. We were able to go kayakings, canoed and paddleboard. My son brought fishing gear and he fished, didn't catch anything with lures. Would definitely stay again. It was also nice having your laundry done so you dont have ti come home and do work.

Manatee and dolphin appear in the morning and give a miraculous view while you drink your coffee. Booking was simple and easy and communication from owners was informative. We will book again.

Perfection

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Definitely my favorite VRBO stay so far. Being on the canal instead of the main river is the best option if you are looking for a relaxing time. They had everything you could possibly need if you want to cook but any food delivery services were readily available as well. We kayaked, saw a mama manatee and her baby twice (once on the main while kayaking and once from our dock) The fire pit by the water was amazing and the beds were super comfy. Owners were also very responsive and pleasant. No crazy cleaning list, just the normal stuff you would do as a guest at any home and basically clean up after yourself. Would stay here again for sure
