We stayed at this property for 4 days and loved every minute. The location is close to the springs and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The house was very clean and had everything you may need while you stay. We spent most of our time kayaking or floating in the canal behind the house. We saw so many manatees I lost count. One day two baby manatees were playing in our canal for more than half the day. It was adorable to see how playful they are. We also saw dolphins and lots of turtles. We can’t wait to come back.

quiet and peaceful area. Manatees swam right up to the dock while we were there. It's an easy paddle to the river. I would stay there again.

This is our second time staying at this property and we had a great time. Our favorite spot would be the covered dock where we fished, swam, manatee watched, and enjoyed the week.

We had a short but very great time. We enjoyed kayaking on the Weeki Wachee River and also the athmosphere in the garden. We will be back:)

Loved the quiet location and being on the canal.

Everything about this place is great. Location is awesome. Not far from everything, but far enough it's quiet and peaceful. Met the cleaning lady( which I might add came out on a Sunday to try to help) do to the fact that the TV remote was missing. She was great as well. Communication with the home owners was also great. They over nighted 2 brand new remotes and a box of batteries. Sitting under the bocks shelter while it rained for a day was so relaxing as well. Would stay here again.

Older Florida home located on Weeki Wachee canal. Home has some modern touches. VRBO pictures and amenities match what we experienced. Because it was an older home with what appears to be several additions, there is some sloping of the floors but not bothersome. There is a single step into each of the bedrooms which I did notice in the pictures. Bed mattress was softer than what we like but we still were able to enjoy restful sleep. Neighbors were very nice.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. Family used the kayaks and paddleboards the owners provided. Our dog (and us too) loved watching the birds in the area. We didn't see manatees in the canal but did in other locations. Location is close to shopping & restaurants. Other areas like Tampa, Crystal River, Withlacochee, etc. are within reasonable driving range.

Nice small rental on the canal.
Old house that is remodeled nicely.
I wished the beds were more firm, as both my brother and I had a little bit of a hard time sleeping as they were saggy.
Mini split units did not work even after calling the owner for instructions, the compressor would not come on.
All in all the house worked for us, although we were a little chilly one night and a little hot a couple nights later.

Great place to relax on the river

Although all members of our party were not able to make it we had an awesome time! First time kayaker and the outside dock area makes you feel like not leaving!
We will definitely be returning next year!!

Second time staying here and couldn’t ask for more! My husband and I enjoyed our kayaking trips and catching fish right from our own dock! The last night we were there we had a manatee come right to the dock to eat the grasses. It was amazing. Can’t wait until we can book again!

We enjoyed our stay. The home was nice and clean. We only wished that the checkout was later, at 11 so we didn't have to set an alarm and feel rushed to clean up and leave. We would have liked to have had an extra hour to relax by the water before leaving. All else was good.

We love this place been there twice and we have our own name for it. It has everything you need for a good time on the river, new awesome Kayaks and not far from the main river.

Thank you for the great communication and nicely renovated house!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing spot in Weeki Wachee

It was great for us. It was myself and grandson. I would recommend renting a boat just because the current is rough. They supplied Kayaks and we did use them and it was so much fun. I would go again and would stay here

My husband and I had the most relaxing vacation here. The house had everything you needed and the location was perfect. We spent most of our time on the dock by the water. The kayaking was amazing and we fished a lot. We were even able to spend an extra night. We will be planning g to come back soon

We had a lovely long weekend here. It was clean and as advertised. We loved having the kayaks available to venture out on the canals and the river. We brought a couple of paddleboards too—the kids spent a lot of time on the water! Thanks for a lovely stay.

Loved the house and the area. Boats could use repairs. Seats and such. But overall we had a great time.

Property is clean and the area is very quiet. We saw manatees in the canal. Our grandkids caught their first fish off the dock. It was a nice break.

The home was well represented in the VRBO presentation.. The pictures showing updates were right on. It was clean and comfortable and had all the little necessities (toilet paper, paper towels, bar soap, hand soap, coffee filters, salt & pepper etc.) needed to keep from having to run to the store. The kitchen was well stocked.
It was just right to accommodate 4 people. Might get a little crowded with six, but could be done.
It was pleasant to sit out on the dock and enjoy the cool early morning breeze and sunrise.

We had an awesome stay. Very clean and the main bed was very comfortable. Kayaked the river multiple times. Saw three manatee at the mouth of the canal. Very relaxing river float (downstream).

No info provided regarding wifi or operation of the heat and cooling systems. Called the agent who only replied by text. Used you tube to learn how to operate heat system. One chair in house other than kitchen chairs. Only one dish towel. No phone coverage for att. Thankfully my son had verizon.

Nice little place.

The overall impression of the property is excellent. There were 2 glitches in our stay:
1.) The first day of our stay was the coldest day of the year with a low temperature of 28 degrees. The place is heated and cooled by 3 units. When we entered the building only the unit in the big bedroom was working. The other 2 units had an error code of E07. It took a while to figure out what the symbols on the unit meant and turn off /on, then reset the heat on with the remote controls. A guide for working the remotes is needed.
2.) I was unable to take a warm shower the first 24 hours we were there. It took about a day to get a response from the landlord about this issue. The showers hot and cold plumbing is reversed and we hadn’t run the shower long enough in the full cold setting to get the hot water to come through. Please remark the hot/cold settings, leave a note somewhere, or have the plumbing correctly connected.

Just two of us, and it was just the right size and with needed amenities. Each room has a good step up. It is newer, updated, in the main spaces and a little ‘old world Florida cabin vibe’ in some areas. It has just what you need for a gentle paddle in the canals or more vigorous paddle upstream on the river. Several manatee sightings were a total highlight!!! Lots of bird activity on the canal let alone river, and some fish jumping on the canal.
There is no shampoo/conditioner in shower-bring yours.
I’d book again.

The house is exactly as described and nicely updated inside. It was clean and super cute! Sitting down by the dock was absolutely relaxing and so peaceful. I absolutely loved watching the fish jump out of the water. The kayaks were great and the house is so close to the Weeki Wachee River which is crystal clear. HIghly recomment!!

Great little bungalo on the river. Prime spot too that leads right to the clear river. We had a blast. Owners are wonderful and helpful and easy going with the whole rental process. Bed was super comfy and the fire pit was a wonderful added bonus.

Great place to stay on the springs. Paddled from the dock too weeki wachee and had a great time
4.8
Close proximity to the Weeki, which was the reason we stayed in the area.
About 5 minute kayak paddle to the Weeki, the river is beautiful. Had a manatee in canal in back of house. We liked having the dock out on canal, we had a great time jumping in the water!
4.8
What a great place! Clean, safe neighborhood and quiet street. The bed was really comfy and there were lots of extra pillows and blankets. Sweet backyard on the Weeki Wachee. All amenities you need, lots of towels. Even beach towels. Excellent communication with Lisa, very easy check-in. We would stay again!

Summer Vacation
The outside definitely needs some attention, front and back mostly just appearance. The house is equipped with everything, which makes it nice, there is a huge step to either bedroom so be careful with that. The beds to us were way too soft, and the couch needs to be replaced but we made due as the river was amazing. Its a cute house and the location is great

Location was perfect for kayaking
If your looking for easy access to the river this place is perfect. It was super clean and had everything you need in the kitchen and bath including plenty of towels. The back yard can use some TLC but nothing that was problem-some to us. Would not hesitate to book again if needed.
