Our stay was wonderful! Loved the view and the location was convenient. The place is well stocked and we loved the welcome goodies and thoughtful note upon arrival. The variety of kayaks and paddle boards were awesome and it was a short paddle to the beautiful clear springs. We got to see lots of manatees and wildlife. Thanks again!

The place was perfect for us. The host let me check in a little bit early, which meant the world to me. Everything was as described. We really loved the hot tub and the bar. We swam right off the dock and we loved grilling out. We loved that there was nature right across the dock and not another house to look at. The place had everything we needed including a fully stocked kitchen.

Even with a looming hurricane Isaias this home provided our families outstanding space and comfort with amenities both inside & outside to entertain the old (70 yrs) & young (2 1/2 yrs). The roomy kitchen had all the needed equipment to cook & enjoy meals. Had to play the memory game several times, "I know I saw a can opener..." which was great brain exercise! The bedrooms & baths were excellent and fully supplied with necessities. The location was great; private & near anything we were looking for. The HVAC system kept the place wonderfully comfy even in the FL humidity (not missed since moving north from Brevard County, FL). Playing our favorite family card game, Hand & Foot, was easily accommodated on the round dining table. [Minor suggestion: a couple of folding chairs would be great.] The outdoor equipment was awesome, even with the inclement weather. Just don't drop your hamburger in the sand, or it gets crunchy! The neighbors were quiet and the canal had minor kayak/jet ski traffic that passed by slowly (no wake). The kids enjoyed the back patio area with the games available plus the art supplies we brought with us. Great rental!!

This was the perfect little waterfront cottage for our family of 4! It’s located on a peaceful canal, away from busy boat traffic, but only about a 10 minute paddle from the most beautiful part of the main river. The kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you could need. The bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were spotless. The backyard was incredible and is where we spent most of our time when we weren’t kayaking. The hostess, Mary, left a sweet welcome note with a basket of goodies and helpful info about nearby stores, activities, and urgent care/hospitals. We can’t wait to go back!
Where the canal meets the river.
Beautiful views upstream.

The home is clean and updated even more than it looks in the pictures. It was very comfortable for my family of four. You can stay there the whole time or there's restaurants and shopping close. The first day there we kayaked down to the river and found manatees right away. It was pretty awesome.

The house was very clean and had a fully stocked kitchen. The first morning a manatee swam right by and there is a friendly otter that was spotted several times. The only thing we did not think about was when the tide goes out it is too low to get the kayaks into it. Other than that we would definitely stay again. Beautiful location and the hot tub was great. Thank you.

This is a charming property that delivered on my expectations for an old Florida family vacation. Wildlife in the canal is abundant! We were even graced with seeing a whole family of manitee from the dock one evening (which I did not expect this time of year)! This town is not built up commercially. It is old Florida, low key feel. The main attraction for me was to kayak. It was a little further than I expected from the canal to the main river- between that & tide concerns I decided not to let the kid kayak alone & we went tandem. The clear kayak front seat strap was broken but I used some ingenuity with a bunjee chord I had on hand and it worked fine.Communication was superb. The property was VERY clean. Kitchen appliance & utensils were abundant. The backyard was surprisingly private (considering close neighboring properties) the waterway is much less traveled than the main Weeki wachee area. I absolutely love the family friendly outdoor games and kayaks provided on site for ample entertainment to hunker down at the property and spend time together with toes in the sand, offering optional shade, and sunroom through rainy afternoons. Commute to Weeki Wachee & Hernando was a short easy drive. (I planned & budgeted to rent a pontoon boat to go out on the ocean from a local motel.) I did not want a crowded beach, blazing sun, long walk with sand toys & head on a swivel near ocean tides. This house offers an alternative type fl vacation and it delivered- would recommend.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This Vrbo made us feel like we were right at home! Quaint, clean, cozy & our 3yo loved the games! We roasted marshmallows over the fire pit each evening & spent quality time with family! We even kayaked to Hospital Hole! We enjoyed our stay!

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!

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!
