About this property

The Little Manatee home / Your Lake & Wildlife Retreat Wekiva Springs & Disney

Welcome to The Little Manatee Apartment — your cozy lake and wildlife retreat near Wekiva Springs and Orlando’s famous theme parks.

This charming, coastal-inspired space is designed to help you slow down, relax, and feel at home. Thoughtfully decorated with manatee touches and soft coastal details, the apartment offers a comfortable queen bed, a cozy seating area, and a dedicated workspace — perfect for both peaceful getaways and remote work.

Step outside and experience what truly makes this place special. The lake behind the home invites you to unwind, watch breathtaking sunsets, and connect with nature. Gather around the lakeside firepit, sink into the Adirondack chairs, and enjoy quiet evenings under the stars.

On your private front terrace, you’ll find a unique highlight — a traditional German beach cabana (Strandkorb). It’s the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, read a book, or simply relax in your own little outdoor retreat.

Nature lovers will feel right at home here. Guests often spot sandhill cranes, turtles, and a variety of beautiful birds around the lake. With a bit of luck, you may even catch a glimpse of some of Florida’s more elusive wildlife.

Located just minutes from Wekiva Springs and a short drive to Orlando’s world-famous theme parks, this is the perfect balance between adventure and tranquility.

Whether you’re here to explore, work remotely, or simply recharge, The Little Manatee Apartment offers a peaceful and memorable stay.
