Newly Remodeled Weeki Wachee River Retreat

The location is awesome, super convenient to get to the river. Plenty of room for 3 teens and two adults. We used all the kyacks. One filled up a bit with water so we were glad there were others to use instead. Had a great trip, would rent this again, and we loved being able to bring the dog with us.

We love Lisa & Mike's place. The canal is clear and swimmable. We see manatees, turtles and dolphins on our late spring visits right from the dock. The nearly ground level home is great for us 70 year olds as is the easy walk to the dock. The house is surprisingly spacious and comfortable for sleeping and visiting. This is our second stay here- a year apart and we couldn't have chosen a better place for location and cost. Thank you Mike & Lisa!

The issues w/ this place are the steps. The front door steps are wobbly w/ no railing. Both bedrooms in front have steps about 1 ft high. To get out back/ to 3rd bedroom another huge step. None of these steps are to code. The back dock also has no railing. If you are older and/or have mobility problems this is NOT the place for you.

Worked out great for two couples and a dog ! Each family had enough room and the retractable leash hanging by the front door was a pleasant surprise! Loved that the backyard was fenced!

We had 2 adults and 6 grandchildren and had a blast. The house was very clean and was very well supplied with games and all the necessities (except we could have used more pillows and blankets) and the AC was ice cold! The kids really enjoyed the kayaks and swimming and jumping off the dock into the canal. It’s very conveniently located near Weeki Wachee, the bowling alley and all the good places to eat.

One of our favorite vacation spots ever! We enjoyed kayaking, we rented GoBoats, and enjoyed the Weeki wachee state park which was just down the road. The last night on our dock we actually saw a dolphin swim by. We also saw lots of manatees, turtles and birds. We really enjoyed how close this property was to the really clear water. The house was PERFECT, VERY CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE.

Had a great stay. There was enough room for my family of 7 and my fur babies. The new addition to the house was a bonus. The little game table was so much fun. We did have a little problem the first night with the trundle bed and the oven, but Lisa responded right away and offered to fix any issues we had. We saw Manatees every day. Had a mama manatee and babies right by the house. The icing on the cake was when we saw a dolphin swim by as we were enjoying the backyard. The kayaks were great. Enough kayaks for all of us to go out at the same time. We enjoyed every moment. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

From the outside, the ground level [a real bonus feature for us 70 year olds!) home looks small. But inside, it is so spacious and well planned out. The step up into each front bedroom was a few inches higher than a normal step, but as advertised and posed no real issue when used carefully. Having 2 1/2 modern, well placed bathrooms is a real plus. There are 3 separate seating areas that suit different needs. The house is fresh, clean and newly remodeled. The master ensuite is isolated from the living area which gives it privacy. Having a washer and dryer to use was so convenient. The kitchen is spacious and suited we 3 couples and 2 additional family members. The covered deck right on the river was a real bonus. As was the floating dock with plenty of kayaks. We played games at the comfortable seating area and fished right from the deck.We watched dolphins right in the canal and a mama manatee with 2 calves lingered and fed directly alongside the deck. We watched them within feet! Such a treat! Turtles swam in front daily.We enjoyed the firepit for an evening of game playing. Overall, we couldn't have chosen a better Host, location or home for our 5 sister, 3 brothers-in-law, a nephew and a grandson reunion. We had so many vehicles due to coming from 5 different areas a boat trailer to park, but Lisa gave us clear instructions on how to fit them all in the driveway and front yard, which was greatly appreciated. Don't miss out on this great home!

Stayed here previously. It has been remodeled since then. Such a cozy house and the remodel has taken it to a new level

We were only there for two nights, but enjoyed our stay. Used the kayaks supplied, and had a great time on the river.

The property was very clean (appreciate that as we had some really unfortunate experiences in the past) It had everything we needed in the kitchen, extra blankets for bedrooms, and plenty of towels. The area was close to both grocery and bait stores:) We had a great time kayaking on the river and the dock was perfect for my son’s fishing passion, plus the outside area was big enough when we had friends visit.Lisa (the owner) was very communicative, again very appreciative of that:) Had a great stay and would warmly recommend!
