About this property

Waterfront Front Row Seats to Nature’s Best Show

  • Imagine sipping coffee on the dock when a manatee glides up like it’s auditioning for the role of “Cutest Neighbor Ever.” It happens here. Often. Whatever you do, do not read the reviews to find out if we're telling the truth and what other amazing animals like to show up at our dock ;)

    And if you don’t want wildlife sightings right off the backyard, this probably isn’t for you. But if you do… our kayaks are waiting, the yard is massive, and the fire pit is practically begging for marshmallows.

    Our family-friendly waterfront home is a slice of Florida paradise, just a five-minute paddle to the crystal-clear, 72-degree waters of Weeki Wachee.

    We love this place because it’s the best of both worlds—relaxing when you want it to be, and full of outdoor fun when you’re ready for it. Whether you’re here to kayak with MANATEES, fish off the dock, or just soak up the sunshine, this place is designed for making real memories with family and friends.

    What You’ll Love About This Home:

    **BIG Dock** – Perfect for fishing, launching kayaks, or just enjoying a morning coffee.

    **Kayaks Included** – No need to rent! We’ve got **5 adult kayaks + 3 kid-sized ones** ready for adventure.

    **Huge Yard & Fire Pit** – Room to play, grill out, or make s’mores under the stars.

    **Unbeatable Location** – Close to parks, springs, and Weeki Wachee’s famous **mermaid show**!

    **Space for the Whole Crew** – Sleeps up to 6 adults comfortably, or 8 with little ones.

    ---

    Outdoor Fun Starts Here

    This is the kind of place where memories just happen. Spend your days paddling down the river, grilling up fresh-caught fish, playing lawn games, or just kicking back on the dock** while mullet jump and manatees glide by.

    At night, gather around the fire pit, tell stories, and watch the stars. (Pro tip: S’mores make everything better!)

    Want to explore beyond the house? You’re just minutes from Weeki Wachee Springs, Pine Island Beach, and some of Florida’s best water adventures.

    Oh, and don’t worry—restaurants, groceries, and anything else you need are just a short drive away.

    Inside the House

    We’ve set this place up to feel like home, but better.

    - **Master Bedroom**: King bed (because everyone deserves a good night’s sleep).

    - **Guest Room**: Queen bed + 2 convertible chairs that become a queen or two singles.

    - **Living Room**: Cozy and open, perfect for movie nights or game time.

    - **Fully Stocked Kitchen**: Everything you need to cook up a feast (minus the groceries).

    - **Washer/Dryer**: Because no one wants to take home wet swimsuits.

    ---

    Pet-Friendly (With a Few Rules)

    We totally get it—pets are family. That’s why we allow one small dog (under 20lbs) with a **non-refundable $200 pet fee**. (Sorry, no cats!) If you have a special case, just reach out—we’re happy to chat.

    ---

    A Few Things to Know

    - **This is our family’s home away from home.** We ask that guests **treat it with the same love and care** we do.

    - **We have 3 outdoor security cameras** in **public-facing areas only** (driveway and yard). This is just to keep trespassers away and ensure a safe stay.

    - **Grills are available (gas & charcoal)**, but guests will need to provide their own propane/charcoal.

    Ready to Make Memories?

    This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s an experience.Whether you’re paddling, fishing, swimming, or just soaking up the Florida sunshine, this place is all about slowing down and soaking in the good stuff.

    We’d love to host you—reach out with any questions!

This property was great! It has all the things you need for a great Florida springs vacation. The hosts were fantastic at communicating and any minor issues were quickly addressed. Loved the outdoor space and having kayaks available. The kitchen was well stocked and everything worked. The beds were so comfortable. Needs some minor updates but nothing that affected our stay. Would definitely recommend

Wonderful setting and beautiful home! We were visiting family nearby and had a great stay - everything we needed was included. Spent an afternoon on the canals and found a pod of manatees nearby. Absolutely beautiful.

An amazing stay on the river. Home was clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The river is beautiful, plenty of kayaks and highly recommend doing a scalloping tour if you have never done it. Saw manatees and even a dolphin right off the dock. Overall an awesome experience!

Perfect for a little family getaway

We loved the location. The water pad and dock provided hours of entertainment for my kids. Loved the welcoming touches like the letter board welcoming us. We also really loved that there were kayaks there to use and we didn’t have bring our own. The house is adorable and we really enjoyed our stay.

Easy access to water fun

We came done to Florida to visit with family, and also enjoy the Weeki Wachee - one of our favorite places. The house is back off the river and has easy access. The entry to the river is central enough to either go up to state park or down to Rodger’s park.

Weeki wachi get away

This home was perfect for a long weekend get away. The kids loved the lily pad, swimming, and kayaking in front of the house. They were safe and could enjoy the water while the adults relaxed on the dock and/or patio. The main river was just a short paddle away which was lovely.

Anniversary Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in this property. The property owner was very supportive and accessible, and the cabin met all our needs and expectations. We did not experience any issues or difficulties during our 4-night stay. It was also nice to find that the area around Weeki Wachee included many restaurants and other business establishments that made the trip all the more enjoyable.

Perfect slice of paradise!

We had the most fun, peaceful, relaxing vacation here! We kayaked all over and saw manatees every day! Sitting on the dock with a coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening was so peaceful and perfect. The river is beautiful and calm enough for kids to kayak on. Close to what you need if you have to run out, but still feels very private. Definitely the best vacation we’ve had in a long time!

Perfect little gem

Perfect little gem of a home along a canal leading directly to the river. Full of thoughtful touches. The dock was a happening place! We saw turtles, manatees, crabs, cranes and tons of different fish right from the house’s backyard dock. Would definitely stay here again!

Making memories

This peaceful piece of paradise was just what we were needing. This home was extremely welcoming and even better than described, well suited for our varying ages from 1 to 79. Kayaks were very popular for some in our party, and water viewing was enjoyed by all. Ended our perfect stay with s'mores around the fire pit. Hope we'll be invited to return.

Family Spring Break

The house was just right, very welcoming, 2 bathrooms, lots of sleeping options and the location was amazing. We enjoyed the fire pit and the deck. Date night at the local Italian restaurant was perfect. The stable of kayaks needs some attention, but the host was helpful is getting us what we needed for four days on the amazing river. Also ask the host about launching your kayaks from Weeki Wachee State Park for the best experience!

Great spot

Went here for a quick get away with the family, two boys (4/7). The house was the perfect size with all the amenities you’d need. Owner was easy to reach and responsive. The dock/ramp has kayaks available and easy access to waterways leading to the main river. Short 5-10 minute paddle to the crystal clear water, saw wildlife including manatees on the way. Everyone loved the trip!

The house was clean and well decorated. The backyard and kayaking was unmatched. It was so charming and a lot of fun. We loved watching the leaping mullet. Though it did rain one day, we were able to spread out and enjoy a puzzle and dinner at home. Plenty of space! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience at Weeki Wachee!!
