What a little gem! This house was perfect for our 2 families to gather and share a super fun weekend for my daughter’s birthday. I’ve never been to a place in Florida where you can swim in cool refreshing FRESH water and not have to worry about alligators. It’s so beautiful to just take the paddle boards or kayaks out and Tim’s house is very well equipped with all the toys for a fun vacation. We loved sitting around the campfire at night and having a glass of wine and kids making s’mores.
We went out scalloping with capt Rick and his wife and had so much fun with them (highly recommend that adventure) we saw sea turtles and swam with dolphins and learned all about the area and got to hunt a few dozen scallops as well. All in all it was a blast. We’ll be back for sure.

Our friends and us stayed at the Manatee Lodge for a long weekend. We had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful, relaxing and such a get away from it all place to stay. The canal offers sightings of the manatees, the fish (jumping), and even dolphins!! We had a fire pit fire, roasted marshmallow, melted chocolate and laughed ourselves silly over nothing but fun. The house had everything we wanted kayaks, paddle boards, many games in the basement room and comfy beds. We had a fabulous weekend!! Thanks for offering such a nice place to stay to have a fun time.

Manatee Lodge is the place to stay. Comfortable/homey feel to enjoy with family and friends. There’s no doubt we will be back.
Being able to bring your boat and having on site canoes/kayaks to enjoy are the best way to have fun and explore.
Also, you can’t pass up MacRae’s ‘The Shack’ just down the street on the water for food & drink. Additionally being able to visit various springs and natural parks near by was also great fun.

The owner was so quick to answer any questions we had. The house was so nice and directly on the canal. And there were wet suits in different sizes and there were canoes and paddle boards and a few fishing poles for our use which was so convenient! We had everything we needed to enjoy the water and see the manatees including a mom and baby. And the life jackets very provided. The washer and dryer down stairs was so convenient. I would recommend this place to anyone. Also, we all enjoyed the screened in porch.

This place was just amazing. Our family of 5 (big kids age 19, 16 and 13) had plenty of space to spread out. Very comfy beds and excellent bathrooms - outdoor shower was super handy too! The best part is the location…we couldn’t have known that we would be a short kayak trip away from crystal blue water and manatees! The state park (“sanctuary”?) was right around the corner from the house, so we took the kayaks and paddle boards out several times to wade, explore and even swim pretty close to manatees! Folks from an overlook at the Homosassa State Park (which I also recommend!) were watching us in the water with the beautiful creatures…pretty cool. Thanks so much for providing kayaks, a great game room and awesome fire pit for the evenings. This place is wonderful. Great family memories!

Manatee Lodge was so cozy and peaceful. The house was very quiet and comfortable, stocked up with everything we needed. The area is magical with the crystal clear water and the house has kayaks and paddle boards too! Just sitting on the screened porch rocking chairs sipping coffee we saw a manatee, an otter and many fish right in front of the house! There’s also an awesome fire pit with these gorgeous Adirondack chairs made from local wood (gorgeous) where we enjoyed s’mores every night. It was peaceful, beautiful and very clean. Highly recommend!
