About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I have two beautiful kids. We love to travel, go boating, paddle boarding, dogs, good local food, and anything with some adventure!

Why they chose this property

I have been an avid traveler all my life and with so many places to see there was never any plan to visit the same place twice. Fast forward to marrying my husband and birth (2) beautiful kids together my family fell so much in love with the Weeki Wachee River that year after year it was a requested trip. I mean where else can you snorkel with manatees, swim nearly year-round, see live mermaids, and more?! So, we now enjoy the area more and enjoy being able to share the house with other families in attainable way so that they, too, can experience the unique awesomeness that resides in Weeki Wachee, FL

What makes this property unique

The Blue Heron's location is what makes it special. Across from the preserve (not a backyard), 5 minute paddle to the open Gulf of Mexico, and on one of, if not THE most, peaceful stretches of the river. Being so close to the Gulf means more manatee action along with other wildlife not commonly seen further down river; such as dolphins. While we offer the same staples other rentals do we also offer more unique items such as an 18ft floating mat and giant novelty floats for other water enjoyment besides just kayaks and fire pits, but we have those too ;)
