We had an amazing time at Timothy's place. Even though the home is small, it is set up really well for entertaining. We had a blast just sitting in the kitchen watching people cook. We love the outdoor area with the little bunkhouse. I didn't expect to see manatees in the summer, but we had them at the dock every morning munching on the eelgrass. On the last morning I was drinking my coffee with my feet hanging over the dock with two large manatees feeding below! So cool! Even though the canal houses aren't directly on the Weeki Wachee river, I think manatees are more easily seen on the canals because there is more food for them and they tend to stick around longer. You just have to look for the air bubbles. We also had a barred owl perched above us at dawn and dusk :) Thanks again!

Quiet location. End of canal but only a few minutes paddle to clear river. Nice outside space and dock. The house was comfortable and really clean. Bring your outdoor/dock chairs and enjoy!

It was nice a little place Good for kayaking. There is only one little Beach and you have to get there early. Easy access to places around the area

This property was exactly as described in Vbro and in the pictures. It was a cozy and tastefully decorated cottage. The beds were comfortable. There is a separate bunk house which we did not use. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the kayaks were pretty old; 2 were missing seats and one was missing foot rests. For less than $200. A piece there are gently used ones on Face book Marketplace that could be purchased. New paddles and life preservers would be nice as well:) Other than that, it was exactly what I expected and exactly what I paid for😎Saw lots of wildlife from the deck too. Manatees and iwls came by almost daily! PS Some of the boards on the deck/dock should be replaced soon.

Loved the location. The house is cute and comfortable. Tim was great to work with. Only area to work on is cleanliness. Sheets were not fresh, I stripped the beds and washed them the second day because I could not deal with them feeling not fresh. I had to wash all the dishes and silverware before using; some where really crusty. The refrigerator had an awful fish smell, ( it smelled up the whole house) Tim sent somebody over right away but it just masked the smell for a short time and then smelled like cheap cleaner and fish mixed. I even wiped it down with Dawn and vinegar but the smell stayed there. The freezer also smelled like fish so we did not buy ice. I didn’t even try to clean that. The dishwasher did not always work. It would start the cycle and then stop. Other times it worked fine. The washing machine screeches very loudly when filling with water but works well. I would stay again but I would know what to expect. Tim really is great but I think he needs a new cleaning person. I have a hard time being comfortable if it doesn’t feel clean to me or if a place stinks.

Fantastic stay on the Weeki Wachee. House was darling, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. We used the gas bbq and enjoyed the gas outdoor fire pit in the evening. Seen a manatee swim by. Check in process was simple and having the code was great when coming and going. Tim the owner brought an additional kayak for the 3 of us to use. Having a washer and dryer made it so the only luggage needed was a carry on. House had a TV in each bedroom ( including the bunk house that we did not use). Can’t wait to come back! Annie

Peaceful stay in this cute cottage right on the canal. Fully stocked, plenty of seating and outdoor space. Wish it was warmer so we could’ve enjoyed all the outdoor amenities. Easy communication with host. Would stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay. From start to finish everything was great. The owners were responsive and accommodating. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. The bunk house was great for the kids to have a little space but not be to far away. It is close to some delicious restaurants and attractions also. We just wished we could have stayed longer!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It is an updated home with nice rooms, comfortable beds and an added plus for us was the bunkhouse! We wanted something that would be close to the river and this was the perfect spot. The distance wasn't far. We even saw a few manatees in the canal!

Very clean and nice backwater cottage. Short paddle to the Weeki Wachee River. Even saw Manatee from the dock!

This property was perfect for us. We were able to bring the boat and access the weeki wachee River from there with no trouble. Very clean place.

We had a wonderful time at this super cute place. We saw manatees multiple times in the canal and it was really nice to have the kayaks in property to use!

Our family had a wonderful time visiting from NC during our kids spring break. Friendly neighbors, plenty of space and a great location on the river. Loved the area and having close encounters with the manatees!

It was nice being on the canal and not the main river a lot more piece and quite. King bed mattress needs replaced. Screen room off the bunkhouse needs repairs. Overall nicely decorated and clean.

We had a really nice time, the host was more than accommodating and responded immediately to any inquiries. House was beautifully decorated, very clean. Check out process was one of the easiest we've ever experienced. Would return and rent from this host anytime.

This cozy, clean, comfy, and cute river house was exactly what we were looking for! We have 3 teens, 1 tween, and a 5 year old and the bunkhouse was perfect for the kiddos. We loved hopping into our kayaks to hit the river whenever we wanted to. We will definitely come back again.

Cute and comfortable cottage with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths in the main house and 4 bunks in a detached building with screened porch - no bathroom. Deck on the river was nice but could have used a couple more chairs. Family room and kitchen are one and could use another place to sit to watch tv and some lamps. Tons of towels, extra sheets, pots and pans - all ya have to bring is your food! Enjoyed our stay on the river!

The house is clean and comfortable with nice outdoor areas: deck, dock, screen porch. The bunk house was great for teenage granddaughter. It’s close to a few restaurants and Pine Island and Weekee Wachi springs. The manager was prompt in returning calls. Nice family vacation spot

Very nice and clean. Very spacious for a 2 bedroom and kids separate sleeping area is great. We will definitely be back.

Nice renovations on the property. Very Clean. Enjoyed being on the canal rather than the river itself. A lot less traffic (kayak, boat, etc.) on the canal. Friendly folks all around the rental. Great swimming right in the canal. The docks and the boat ramp on the property were a great addition. We will stay again!

The house was sparkling clean and the layout was very accommodating for our purposes. Easily and comfortably held eight people. We enjoyed the dock, the yard and the visiting manatee. Great communication with the property manager.

This place has everything, the bunk house kids absolutely loved. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need. Remodeled throughout. The owner was very helpful on any questions we had. Will be back

We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and well-stocked! The location was beautiful & close to everything. Hosts were very responsive & informative. Highly recommend!

Beautifully redone little house with separate bunkhouse right on a canal off the Weeki Wachi. House was super clean and had everything you would need to cook and relax. Fire pit was a big hit for us to sit outside by the water. And we saw manatee from the deck and in the water paddle boarding. We will be back!

Stayed here with family / friends (7 Adults) and we all enjoyed our stay! Right on the river with boat dock for easy access to the river, and a short paddle out to the springs (about 5-10 minutes depending on how quick you are). Plenty of kitchen utensils for cooking meals. Owner was very personable and attentive. Would definitely stay again!

We had a fun time there, so close to the Weeki Wachee Spring. Went out kayaking, sat on the dock and watched birds and fish. Hopefully we get to come out here again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house had the feel of a cottage but had plenty of room. The detached boat house had a lot of character. The owner was great to work with and very accommodating. We will definitely be back!

We wanted to stay somewhat close to home but not feel close. Being on the river was just what we were looking for. This house met our needs perfectly. Everything was as described. Property manager was available for questions. We had a few issues that were so minor they hardly need mentioning. A terrific little house. This whole area is filled with no-see-Ums so bring a bug light and gallons of citronella!

Great getaway on the Weeki Wachee River (canal). This house has modern furnishings and is in a beautiful setting. With the bunkhouse looking over the canal and 2 full bathrooms it could easily fit a large family or 2 couples for a nice vacation. To add fun and adventure, we rented SUP paddle boards from SUP Weeki which is just down the street for all of us and saw manatee paddling right from our dock down the canal and out onto the weeki wachee river.
