Family fun

We stayed for spring break 2025. Our kids enjoyed the games and toys and bunk beds very much. The canoe was perfect for our first paddling trip with a baby and two young kids. The owner/manager responded timely to questions so that’s helpful.

WE LOVED OUR STAY

Everything was just as promised. Kelly, our host, was very gracious and had everything we could need for us to really enjoy our stay. There were more than enough kayaks, and a canoe. The sleeping arrangements worked perfectly for us. Kelly is very friendly and will make your stay a good one. We really did enjoy our stay with them!

Lovely and Fun Property

Our stay (extended family of 9) was wonderful thanks to being in a well appointed, convenient home! Kelley and David were wonderfully responsive to any inquiries and requests. Plenty of water crafts, convenient outdoor seating, and during our week there were a couple of manatees hanging out in the canal! A great time was had by all.

Kayaks Lovers

If you love to kayak and you have a group that needs 4 bedrooms this is a great place to stay. 2 great floating docks and you can swim in the canal that goes into Weeki Wachee. Well supplied house. Super nice attentive hosts. Lots of floats, toys, kayaks, canoes, Manatees swimming with a baby up and down the canal. Great getaway spot.

What an incredible experience all the way around. The hosts were kind and very attentive. The property was fully stocked with all the amenities. Everything we could possibly have needed it was there. We had a great experience out on the water got to see manatees and enjoy swimming in the springs. Just a great experience all around, so happy we will definitely be back.

Great summer vacation

We loved the property and location. It was a short paddle to the hot dog boat and the clear water of the springs. The home was clean and the owners are very responsive. If we had questions or comments we would get a response immediately. The home was stocked with towels, paper towels, toilet paper, soap, shampoo and conditioner. We had a blast, thank you so much Kelly!

Not disappointed

Property was clean and well maintained. Listing information pretty accurate. However, floors in the master suite sloped drastically. This didn’t effect our stay, but may be important to note for those with balance or mobility issues. Neighborhood was quiet. Outdoor area and game table were great and my teenage sons loved. Overall we had a great experience and would stay here again.

Wonderful location

We were a little concerned given a hurricane had just went through a few days prior, but everything was perfect. Dave reached out a few days in advance to reassure us that they were prepared and didn’t expect any issues from the storm. When we arrived everything was perfect, you wouldn’t have even known there was a hurricane a couple days prior. Plenty of kayaks, canoes, and life jackets and the weather was perfect. The kids loved the playing on the lily pad mat. We were able to watch the mullet jumping, see turtles, manatees and even a dolphin swimming through the canal right from the dock. We really enjoyed our stay here and can’t wait to come back.

Great backyard and very Weeki experience!

This property was nicely done as a rental. Very clean! All of the light switches were labeled. Lots of room to spread out. All of the local Weeki art on the walls added to the Weeki experience. There were plenty of games to keep us all entertained. We really enjoyed being in a quiet, pet friendly house, with a big backyard, only a short paddle to the clear Weeki water. All of the kayaks/canoes/paddles/life jackets were in good shape. On the river, we saw manatees and deer. We also enjoyed the firepit every night. There were plenty of outdoor chairs outside to sit by the fire. This house had everything we needed for a pleasant stay!

We'll be back! Highly recommend!!

Our family has stayed at other properties of these hosts and they have thought of it all. Cleanliness, ease of check in and check out, prompt communication, fully stocked kitchen, super comfy mattresses, pillows and linens, lots of elbow room for our group of 8, tastefully decorated, the list goes on and on. The biggest hit for our group of kids (6-11) was the floating lily pad, followed by the warm outdoor shower! So great after a day of paddling (tons of kayaks, canoes, paddles/oars and lifejackets provided!). The house is located in a great spot to paddle to Roger's Park, Upper Deck restaurant, the ice cream and hot dog snack boat, to spot manatees, and much more fun! The game table which includes air hockey/pool/ping pong, was also lots of fun when we were not on the river. Paddler's Point will not disappoint, I've already spread the word to friends and family, this is the place to stay for your Weeki Wachee vacay!

Wonderful Visit

What a house! We were a family of five visiting grandparents in Florida for Easter but wanted a little bit of natural fun. Paddlers Point was the perfect house for us. The house was clean, spacious and had EVERYTHING! Half of the things I brought we didn't need. Kelly made sure our 17 hour drive to FL did not include an immediate visit to Publix. It was so nice not to have to worry about shampoo or soap or and bringing enough towels. The beds were super comfortable as for the many pillows and blankets (it was cold in Florida!). The house opens up to such a great patio with two great picnic tables and chairs. We were able to host Easter dinner with plenty of places to eat and socialize. My kids LOVED the pool table/air hockey table. The dog run was perfect for our dogs too! The best part is the many canoes and kayaks that were provided for row down the Weeki Wachi River. It's only a short ride down to the clear, beautiful water of the springs to see the manatees. I also thought this location was so much quieter than the rest of the area. Kelly was great host, checking in with me the day of our arrival and checked in with us throughout our stay. If your staying in Weeki Wachi, this is the house to go too!

A Great Retreat From Devices

If Kayaking, boating, fishing or plain relaxing is what you want this is the place. Close to the Weeki Wachee River, the ride there on the canal showed us Dolphin, tons of Turtles and Manatee. Can’t help but be mindful looking at the water in the yard. Make a fire and relax outside. In the middle of everything with super responsive and helpful hosts this vacation was a home run!
