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!

We got a note from Mary well before we got there with instructions for check-in. She was very prompt in responding to everything. House was as beautiful as the pictures. We saw so much wildlife. At the house we saw Manatees, woodpeckers, cranes, snapping turtles, turkeys, lizards, and very friendly grasshoppers. If fishing, The Hernando beach bait shop guy knows what is biting and on what. We caught blue gill, small mouth and halibut at the house. The bass at Jenkins creek were only interested in shrimp. Went on a great charter on the gulf with angling adventures just up the road at the Hernando beach pier. Captain Steven was the best with our whole family (kids and mom included). We wandered down to Clearwater beach for a day. It was about 90 mins, but on a Thursday, there was no traffic and we parked in public parking for 3/hr. Totally worth it.

Perfect for a couple

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!

We loved it so much last year we returned again this year. The place is great. We got to see manatees swim right by the dock this time, and there were a bunch of them in the river right out from the canal. Awesome time!

Magically secluded while still be at civilization in 10 minutes

Great property! Having the kayaks on site was huge for us. We spent multiple days kayaking with our kids. Property is in a quiet, residential area which meant we got peace and quiet around the fire pit at night. Lots of restaurants and stores close by. We would love to visit again!

Peaceful and Fun!

We stayed 5 nights having had a busy few days in Orlando so welcomed the change of pace and peacefulness. We enjoyed the hot tub, views, games and most of all the kayaks. We went out a few times and we found it took us 12-15 minutes to get down to the main river. We took our time because the canal the house is on is so quiet, the reflection of the trees on the water is beautiful. We loved it! The house itself is well stocked and the beds comfy. I hope to return one day and would recommend to others.

Absolutely Wonderful!

The property was amazing! The house was very clean and well maintained and the backyard was a dream! You can feel the thought put into the guest experience at this property. It was a quick and easy paddle to the main river- it only took us about 15 minutes casually paddling. Would definitely visit this property again!

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.

We loved the place. My only complaint was it not being directly on the clear waters and having to paddle a little ways down to get to the clear water. I would have liked less rocks in the sand in the back yard. But everything else was amazing. And I miss the comfortable bed so much already!

The weather was better than expected. We got the kayaks out 3 consecutive days. We were able to see a manatee up close. We loved it. The property is amazing. We didn't want for anything.
