Weeki Wachee getaway
Property was in very quiet neighborhood located on canal just houses from the main river. The sandbar at the end of the canal is a local hotspot. We loved seeing the manatees right off the dock as well as when we kayaked up and down the river along with all the rest of the wildlife and gorgeous atmosphere- stuff you just can't enjoy living in the city. I would definitely love to go back another time.

My family traveled here from Louisiana it was our first time visiting Weeki Wachee. I honestly did not know what to expect with the rental but it was very nice. Bigger than the pictures make it appear. I was very happy with the place.

Great spot on the inlet to the river. We had so much fun! We got tons of use out of the kayaks! The house is set up great and we enjoyed cooking breakfast and eating outside overlooking the water. What a great experience- we will stay here again if we get the opportunity.

Great place
Place & location was great for us. Manatees & turtles were the highlight 💜. However the three man canoe is not… Loved the place … would have loved it more if we could have actually used the canoe. 2 adults with canoe experience could not ( waaaay to little … ) Still would highly recommend the stay … just dont count on the canoe ( same size as the plastic kayaks )

Captain’s Dump!!!!!
Keypad on door lock, hardly works. Numbers don’t function correctly. Tried code 3 times and got locked out. Finally got it to work after 1 person held the knob and 1 entered code. It needs to be replaced. Photographer was magnificent at disguising how poor this rental is. The living /dining furniture look like frat house furniture. Fabric on Victoria couch was torn and has exposed padding. Brown “leather couch” cushions were discolored, worn out and sagging as well matching chair and foot rest. Kitchen table missing veneer strips and table top is rippled in many places. Many holes in screen around deck porch. Screen is ripped at door handle about the length of the handle. Deck railing and floor is rotting and in need of repairs. Missing pieces on both. Single bathroom looked dirty because of mismatched paint job. The faucet almost came off in my hand while trying to see it work. The commode is like a child’s commode , not only small but very low to the ground and probably from the 70’s. The floor in the house is sagging as my suitcase rolled from the living room down the hallway as soon as I let go of the handle. The barrel chair’s cushion is also ripped and showing padding. One blind in the pirate ship room, had 2 sections cut out of it. Maybe 3 positive things to say- kitchen was clean, pirate ship bedroom was clean. Master bedroom was clean. We turned around and left. We did NOT stay. Maybe owner can make improvements with the money I paid for 2 nights. If you are in college or just graduated, then you will not mind staying here. Adults , making their own way , with children——run,run,run. Just sad we did not get to enjoy the river and “free kayaks, canoe “ provided by owner. Did not contact owner when we checked in because It was too late for refund and I would not have been nice to talk with. It could have been steam cleaned, but due to the other neglected things, it felt real dirty, griming and dingy.

Serene!
We absolutely loved it. Comfortable clean space and such a quick paddle to the main river. Our favorite part was the dock just steps from the home. We saw manatees, turtles and fish. It was wonderful having access to the kayaks and paddle boards, we really appreciated that! We made wonderful memories here! Would go back in a heartbeat!

Great location for river access
First time kayaking and visiting Weeki Wachee. The location is great! If you go straight down the canal and turn left and paddle upstream you get more of the undeveloped view with plenty of places to stop and rest or watch people jump off trees into the river (momma didn’t like that) and then when you’re done float downstream back! We went right one day and it was just a bunch of homes, boats, traffic jams and Roger’s Park so we definitely recommend going left. I really appreciated the extras here like the bikes, coolers, towels, life jackets etc! It was really hot this weekend and the air conditioning worked perfectly! Also the water pressure is great! And the king size bed was very comfortable. My 11 year old loved the boat bed. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay
We stayed for two weeks, it was great each morning we had coffee on the dock while watching the birds, turtles and manatees swim by. After breakfast on the upper deck we were off to paddle on one of the numerous kayaks provided or a bike ride through the neighborhood. We were very happy with the Accommodations and plan to come back next year and rent both the upper and lower and bring the whole family.

We keep coming back!
As soon as we leave, we're looking at dates to rebook! I love this property! The owners really went all out with authentic decorations upstairs and downstairs. The horn in the bedroom makes the perfect “dinner bell” to beckon our pirates back from the waters home to eat! We shopped and cooked in every night and had everything we needed. We are three families that book both upstairs and downstairs with a total of 9 people and are all comfortable. They have all the water equipment you need, without the hassles of renting!! I personally love that it's on a quiet part of the canal and not the main river. You can retreat back to the house and enjoy peace and quiet after a busy day on the main river. We also had manatees munching at the dock every morning. This location is right between hospital hole and rogers park (paddle downstream), and upstream is the jumping tree, then week watchee preserve park, with a nice relaxing float back downstream to the house afterwards. It's only about a 5 minute drive from buccaneer bay and the state park if you want to see the mermaid show.

Amazing! Manatee galore
I needed to see the manatees for the first time and boom, they’re at the dock in the early am, they’re down the way from us, they’re all over, it was just beautiful! The home was pleasant for us all, thank you so much for letting us stay!
