Last vacation together for a few years
This was my 18 year old sons last vacation with us for awhile. He is going into the air force and he has always loved weeki wachee. The location of this house is amazing. A kayak ride to Rogers Park. When tide was high we ran and jumped into the river. The baby even loved swimming everyday and chilling inside patio or out on dock. Literally a 10 minute or less drive from Weeki Wachee State Park, Pine Island, fishing. We only left to get food or to explore all that this area had to offer. My favorite part of this house is patio. It stays cool and it so relaxing. But if you need handicap accessibility this house is not for you. We would definitely stay again. We have stayed at two other locations on weeki wachee but i think everyone had a favorite and it was this one.

Good location, plenty of space
Plenty of space for a big family gathering. Mind the time of year if you’re expecting to see manatees as there is a “off season”, but no matter the time of year this location is very pleasant and the owners were very easy to work with.

For n River Weekend
We loved our stay on the Weeki Wachee river. The home was beautiful and perfectly located. Kayaking along the river, we saw manatees swimming by along with beautiful scenery. The home had everything we needed for all our meals. We hung out on the dock fishing for mullet, mango snapper and other varieties of fish. Excellent weekend on the River. Will definitely come back.

Decent but not the cleanest and repairs needed !
This property is 100% not worth the money… good things about this rental : Check in process was very easy. Access to the river and kayaks available Game roomDown stairs was a nice touch Sliding door to get in the home will hurt your back. It’s so hard to slide open and close. Came in to dead roaches on check in and woke up to them every morning. You are right next to really run down and questionable properties. The neighbor stayed up all night working in his truck banging and reving the truck up ALL through the night for 3 nights straight. Utensils in the drawer had a nasty greasy film on them and smelt sour The room with the bunk beds that we intended for our young ones was not even practical. The space on the top Bunk to ceiling isn’t even usable to sleep it’s so close to the ceiling. The change water filter in the fridge was on clearly they don’t check that. Bathroom Upstairs lights flickered, one in the shower didn’t work. If you have the lights on you’ll have a headache from flickering. We stay in homes 2x a year for family get aways and this is definitely the worst we’ve stayed in so far. This property would be good for young college kids who want river access and a cool party area downstairs, not a family with small children who care about cleanliness. Honestly feel like we got ripped off. We asked for options of early check in late check out prior to arriving and thank god we didn’t. They wanted $50 and hour per hour we wanted early/late lol Yea right

Kayaking the Weeki
Great property, so easy to kayak on Weeki. Living room was roomy with large sofa that all 4 of us could stretch out on to watch the big TV. Downstairs was really big area to play games and watch TV and outside deck was really nice to relax and watch the water. Quiet neighborhood and management answered any questions quickly. Very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent it again!

Family vaca on the river
Love the location of the home. It was clean when we got there. However, we walked into a puddle of water in the kitchen and it was a little annoying to have water dripping on us as we cooked which wasn't too big of a deal but never got the problem resolved while we were there. We still had a great time and the house is in a great location and had lots of amenities! Sad we had to leave a day early because of a hurricane 😥

Great time & perfect patio area!
The property was perfect. The downstairs screened in lanai, made it a great area to entertain with the coolness of the fans, shade, and no bugs! The dock and swim up rock area was perfect to enjoy the cool water during the hot day. With a shower, fridge, food prep area and bathroom downstairs ….. you could stay outside forever! We saw manatees and dolphins right at the dock. The inside was well stocked and nice. The sofa really needs to be replaced or deep cleaned it was rather gross BUT we only sat 1x the whole week we were there. Most beds were comfy and the air was ICE COLD!! I would suggest more adult size or double kayaks, as we had no kids so could only use 4 at a time, the other adults could not use the kids size. We had a great time and enjoyed all the river life had to offer!! ** the only way inside the house is up a flight of stairs.

Spring Break in Florida
This is the third year in a row that we have stayed in this neighborhood for Spring Break. This was our favorite property so far. Close to the main river channel, a short distance to the Gulf, close to local restaurants and amenities, ample kitchen, and plenty of kayaks. Hopefully it will be available next year :)

Weeki Wachee Oasis
Thank you for having our family in your beautiful Weeki Wachee River home. We loved everything about the house, from the unique decor, super comfy beds, with everything one could need upon arrival. The outdoor lower level entertainment area was great for the family/kids. The home sits on the water where just around the bend via the provided kayaks, you’ll find the crystal clear waters you’re looking for. We loved the log cabin style construction that makes the home that much more unique for the area. Stay here, you won’t be disappointed!

Perfect place for our family!
Our family had such a great time staying here and the house was perfect for all of us! We had a group ranging in age from 5 to 65 and everyone truly enjoyed the stay. We loved kayaking on the river, lounging in the water out back, fishing off the dock, and just sitting on the dock and enjoying the view. We saw a few manatees and even had a dolphin swim right past the dock out back! The downstairs area was great when spending the day on the river or playing games with the family at night. Rodgers Park is 2 minutes away and only 10 minutes to Pine Island beach or the Weeki Wachee State Park/Buccaneer Bay. If you plan to go kayaking from the park you must have a reservation and make sure you book in advance because they only let so many people down each day. Whatever you plan to do while in Weeki Wachee you won’t be disappointed staying here!
