Great Thanksgiving trip to the river
We had multiple families and rented out 3 homes close by to celebrate Thanksgiving. The kayaks were a huge hit! The kitchen was stocked great with all the necessary pots, pans, and spices! We had a great time!

Peaceful and relaxing
The home was as described and worked well for our group. There were plenty of kayaks and we used them daily. Just a short paddle from the main river. We saw manatees daily right from the dock. We will definitely be back. Super easy to communicate with hosts. Great time overall 10/10 stars

Bday celebration
Your place is very nice. The pool was a little cold, but it’s April. It should be warm by now, but I know it’s been cooler this last few weeks. Overall, your house is beautiful It was clean on the inside. The house itself could use some power washing and tree trimming, but I’m sure that will get done but overall we had a great time and I would definitely stay there again. Thank you for everything.

Loved the Property, House Very Dated
Check-in was easy.
The property is beautiful with a pool … cold, but after a few hot days it was bearable for some of us. The palm trees were beautiful and some lit up at night around the pool. It was very pretty.
The kitchen needs new cabinets, some drawers were not usable and the laminate on the cabinets was lifting or off. All appliances worked so cooking was a breeze as well as clean up with a dishwasher.
We had our boat with us, the dock was absolutely dangerous with rotted and lifted planks. Be careful!
Carpets need a steam cleaning on the stairs and area rugs as well.
Overall, we really enjoyed our time in Weeki Wachee and the property served its purpose. Would definitely be a 5 star property with updates and dock repairs.

Relaxing
Perfect spot on the river for quiet & relaxation. Yet close to favorite spots like hospital hole & Rogers Park. Lots of manatees to see. Kids love the pool table. Screened porch overlooking the canal. Swimming pool, floating dock, standing dock. All right at the water's edge. Quiet neighborhood.

Winter Get Away
We loved our stay! Great property for two couples and two dogs. Lots of space inside and out. Lots of kayaks for paddling out to see the manatees or just watch them swim by from the dock. We loved it so much that we have already booked again for 2025!

Manatee heaven
Such an incredible experience to stay right on the water. The manatees were right in front of the property playing. We loved our stay! The weather wasn’t great but so much to do and explore near by. Our dogs enjoyed the big yard! Very cool place!!!

A little slice of paradise
We just had the best most relaxing stay at this wonderful house. The pool and access to the Weeki Wachee river was wonderful. The front screened in porch was very nice. The king size bed was very comfy and all the big couches. Just a lovely place we will can't wait come back to.

Chillaxin River Life
We all had a great time relaxing w friends and family. Everyone enjoyed the big outdoor area, swimming in the pool & kayaking on the river.
Lots of space to entertain, needs a few more outdoor chairs. Beds were comfortable, AC worked great, the kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, etc, it's outdated but worked fine for a short week (only wish the pullout couch was in the downstairs area)
Host was helpful with all my questions
I would love to come back again

Amazing place
This house was absolutely awesome and fit our family so well. The pool was a huge hit with the kids, great location for kayaking to hospital hole and rogers park. The house had everything we could have possibly needed and then some. Owner was quick to answer messages and check in was flawless. Highly recommend to anyone visiting weeki wachee and it’s so close to so many places for day trips BONUS

It was a very lovely place great location. The pool was dirty when we got there but the owner was quick to respond to come and get it cleaned. The bunk beds in the one room is only for very small children not very stable. I wish it had bunk beds in the downstairs part or even a sofa bed that would be a nice plus. There is a TV in the master bedroom but the other two bedrooms do not have TVs it would be nice if they did. The home is a little outdated and definitely needs new pots and pans but other than that the home is very nice and I would consider staying there again.

Wonderful and Relaxing
We stayed during the beginning of April. This property's location is just fantastic. It borders 2 canals which we loved watching the manatees swim through each morning either from the screened in deck or while sitting on the dock.
The house is large and has plenty of room for the family to spread out and enjoy time together. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals. Beds were comfortable.
The fenced yard is large, well maintained and will accommodate your dogs (our new dog has chewing issues so we did not bring ours). The pool is great. There is a ramp to launch kayaks and also makes returning and exiting the kayaks very easy.
It is not far from many parks and other sites that were fun to visit. Plenty of great restaurants nearby also.
We had a great time and the home just made our trip very relaxing.
