Kayaks, Swim Mat, Water Toys! PET FRIENDLY - Weeki Wachee River Escape!

Old Florida charm meets modern décor in this fun canal home. Located right off the main river, 8 houses to be exact. Close enough to be in the action and far enough away for some rest and relaxation. The atmosphere of this home is cozy, fun, with a splash of good taste and class. This 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home lays out over 1,380 sq. ft. of inside living space; with a 200 sq. ft. Florida/sun room and over 400 sq. ft. of outdoor deck space.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION- Close to Roger’s Park, where there is a public beach area, boat ramp and play ground. Also, close to the, always a good time, Upper Deck bar and restaurant. We love that this home is just West of the Shoal Line bridge making it a quick trip to the gulf for boaters and a quick paddle to the beautiful winding part of the Weeki Wachee river for kayakers.

What a relaxing place to vacation even if we had an unexpected guest (Hurricane Debbie). It rained the first 3 days we were there, but it forced us to relax. The water did rise & the wind blew but Kelly & Dave kept constant contact with us. We couldn't have asked for better hosts, accommodations & location. Everything you needed was there. Would definitely recommend this place & would stay again. Thanks for everything.

Perfect stay!
Our stay at the charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental house on the Weeki Wachee River exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the pristine condition of the property and the thoughtful amenities provided. The house itself is beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated, offering a cozy yet spacious environment for our group. Each of the three bedrooms was comfortable and well-appointed, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The two bathrooms were spotless and stocked with all the essentials, adding to the convenience of our stay. The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances and all the cookware we needed to prepare meals, which was a delightful surprise. One of the highlights of our stay was the easy access to the Weeki Wachee River and the ability to have our boat behind the house. The provided kayaks and paddleboards were in excellent condition and greatly enhanced our experience. The location of the house is ideal! Overall this rental house had everything we needed and more! Kelly was extremely communicative and I will definitely rent from her again!

Weeki Wachee River Escape!
We were visiting Florida to celebrate my mom's 90th birthday. Family was gathering from across the country, and we wanted one central location as a home base. This property was perfect for our needs, and our small dog. Three bedrooms and two baths worked well. The unit was well stocked with all necessary items for cooking, bedding. and bath. The location was as described, a short Kayke ride from the property to the Weeki Wachee River. We were able to sneak in a few rides in the supplied Kayke's down the river and were pleasantly surprised to actual Kayke with the Manatees, simply amazing. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. Would definitely recommend this unit for a family vacation.

Daily morning kayaking to visit the holes where we would see families of manatees. Swimming and playing in the water to refresh and enjoy in the afternoon. The house is clean and in a beautiful location, with lots of recreational things to do. We especially love the vintage Florida art and comfort of this charming home.

Christmas Vacation 2023
I'm thrilled to share our experience at this amazing house on the river. Our family spent Christmas week here and had a fantastic time. The house was incredibly well-equipped, making it a breeze to prepare Christmas dinner. The back deck provided a peaceful retreat, and could often be entertaining as we watched people make their way on the river. We kayaked daily and enjoyed going to the hospital hole to see the manatees. The hosts were consistently helpful and prompt in fulfilling any of our requests and providing us with information. Highly recommended for a memorable stay!

We had an amazing time at Kelly's house on the canal. The house was just as pictured, Kelly and her husband were perfect hosts easy to get a hold of if we needed anything. We loved sitting out on the deck soaking up the sun,fishing and kayaking. Loved the little extras , charging cords in the master and the shampoo dispensers in the showers. The location was perfect as we were visiting family nearby. Lots of great restaurants. Will definitely consider renting again. Thank you for a great week! Only suggestion- we could have used another potholder .

Even better than expected!
Everything in the description of this property is true! Great location and perfect setup for relaxing and water fun. We saw dolphins and manatees from the comfort of the deck! Also, we had a wonderful experience in the community itself. You could have as much quiet time as you want or be out on the water socializing as much as you want. Best of whatever you are looking for. This location is perfect for convenience to Weeki Wachee River and the magic you experience there BUT being able to not have crowds on the River basically in your yard constantly. Expect all of the little touches you don’t think about, along with every big box checked! Oh and, do not pass up having breakfast at the Silver Dolphin. All of their recommendations were great but I have to give extra “!!!!!” for the charm offered there.

We shared this house with another family. It was clean, organized, and it really felt like they thought it through when they set it up. Plenty of water toys to keep the kids hapoy and busy. The little kids loved the floating mat. It was a short paddle to Rogers park. We saw manatees and even a dolphin!

Great vacation!
The grandkids could not stay out of the water! Between jumping off the dock, playing on the giant yellow mat, kayaking, they were all in! Plenty of room for a multi-generational family of 7. Totally stocked, something I don't experience often at a VRBO. Plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen items including a vegetable brush and box shredder, laundry detergent! We don't usually revisit a place because they are so many more out there, but if we did, we would definitely stay here again.
