We selected this house for the boat ramp to launch our kayaks. It made it so easy to get in and out of the river. The house was very clean and the host was very responsive to a couple of our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay. The house had everything we needed. Great location on the water and close to Weiki Watchee. Loved the fire pit and kayaks. We saw a manatee right off the dock and dolphins just down the canal. Easy check in and easy to communicate with owners.

I am only an hour away from Weekie and I frequently use rentals. This cottage is no BY FAR my favorite place I have been in. This place has it all. Easy access putting a boat (GoBoat) in the water, comfortable and cozy. The kitchen has everything you need. The screen room w/ bunks was a total bonus for just chilling out after a day on the water. Amy was awesome with EVERYTHING. I will be my GO-TO for sure. Thanks for a wonderful stay, I will be back :-)

Absolute Paradise!!

This place was an absolute dream to stay in, my boys & I loved it so much. Home is updated & clean & roomy. Such a cute idea with the bunkhouse, we used that little sunporch several times a day. Easy to get kayaks in & out of the water with the ramp. We saw lots of manatees & even had a couple of dolphins come right up to the dock. Just an overall fantastic vacation at this property. Owners are just wonderful folks too, such a pleasure to talk to. We hope to be back next year, if not sooner Thank you for a fabulous vacation.

Great family vacation house!!!

We had a great time at this rental. It's on a canal that connects with Weeki Wachee Springs; we saw some Manatees on two of the days there. They had some kayaks and paddles that were great fun. Awesome backyard and dock. We would stay again for sure.

10/10!

My husband and I have traveled all over Florida and stayed at many river homes and this one has by far exceeded them all. I am a hard judge when it comes to cleanliness and this home felt spotless. The beds were comfortable. The kayaks and fire Pit was such a nice touch. Our dogs were in hog heaven. The host responded immediately to all of our inquiries and was very friendly. We are already planning our next trip back, 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Vacation

Nice spot for hanging out and kayaking. How was cute and relaxing. The kayaks could have been better since most of the adventure near there is on a kayak. Don't use the green kayak if your going on longer adventures it takes in a lot of water.

Slice of Paradise

We had a great stay. The property was beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. It is a quiet neighborhood and only a few minutes paddle to the spring. I got some amazing pictures was able to capture an incredible video of a momma manatee and her calf. I loved the pet friendly accommodations and would absolutely recommend the property! was able to captire

Exactly what we needed!

Cute little riverside neighborhood. Nice clean home, smells clean, well kept. Seems freshly renovated. The rental came with access to 3 kayaks at the time, a dock, boat ramp for easy in and out of the canal. We were nervous about the kids staying in the detached bunkhouse, but honestly the teens loved it! We will definitely save this property for a future return trip.

Cute beach house on Weeki Wachee

We had a wonderful stay at this house! It was clean, the beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The private boat ramp was a great perk—perfect for launching our kayaks. It’s just a short 5-minute paddle to the Weeki Wachee River, which leads to the springs. While the state park is farther upstream and takes more effort to reach, the water is so crystal clear along the way that you don’t need to paddle all the way to enjoy the beauty—plus, floating back downstream is a relaxing bonus! The location is also convenient for exploring more of the area, just 40 minutes from Crystal River for scalloping in the Gulf. We loved our time here and would definitely recommend it. Likely to stay again!

Serene location

We had a great time in Weeki Wachee. Communication was quick and easy throughout the entire process. The house was clean and had everything you would need, even little extras, which was great. The house is in a great spot; the area is not too busy or crowded but close to everything. The state park is super close; you can rent kayaks and go down and see the manatees. Our family had a great time.

Great Weeki Wachee Getaway

Great getaway on the Weeki Wachee River (canal). This house has modern furnishings and is in a beautiful setting. With the bunkhouse looking over the canal and 2 full bathrooms it could easily fit a large family or 2 couples for a nice vacation. To add fun and adventure, we rented SUP paddle boards from SUP Weeki which is just down the street for all of us and saw manatee paddling right from our dock down the canal and out onto the weeki wachee river.

Great visit

Location is great - quiet area and about 10 minute paddle to the main canal which drops you in the middle section past the dredging (supposed to be done soon). Accommodations were excellent! Kitchen well stocked, bed comfy, bathrooms nice with plenty of towels. Washer/dryer to get bathing suits clean. Yard is great. The ramp for access to the water beats just having a dock. Extremely easy to get in a kayak. The kayaks aren't new but they work fine. Did I mention it was quiet? Overall a 10/10 stay. Hope to return to this quiet canal home in the future!
