    I will start with the positives. We saw manatees and were able to kayak a bunch. The property itself is very run down which we could have looked past for the price, you get what you pay for, I totally understand that.

    My family and I had a wonderful time at this B&B. The place was very clean and it was just like the pictures show. The rooms aren’t huge, but they’re doable. One of the rooms has two bunkbeds so four beds. It’s cozy.Great communication with the owners. If there are any issues, they respond right away and take care of it as promptly as they can. We had an issue with one of the plugs in the small kayak, Aaron ordered a plug on Amazon and we had it two days later. The issue didn’t hinder or stay one bit.It is right on the water and we saw plenty of manatees. There was a pod hanging out and there were two little babies, that made our stay even more amazing! You can kayak/canoe or paddle-board ( I brought my own paddle-board, but there are kayaks and a canoe at the place) on the river right from the backyard. You can also swim if you like!Weeki Wachee Springs is like a five minute drive. I definitely recommend staying here, it’s definitely worth your while. If you love being outdoors in nature you will really enjoy yourself. I think you would really enjoy it no matter what!!!We plan on coming back again!

    We enjoyed our stay at this home. There were none of us so even at capacity we were able to have the space that we needed. We enjoyed the kayaks that were part of the amenities as well as the grill. It’s very convenient to the river and the gulf. We met and spoke to the owners because we arrived a little bit early and they were very friendly and kind.

    The home is spacious and clean, the rental came with a good number of kayaks/canoe. The dock was nice. My son loves to fish and spent so much time fishing off the dock. We love Weeki Wachee and had a fun stay.

    We had a fantastic stay at the Manatee Hideaway! The waterfront location was ideal—mornings on the dock with coffee while our daughter fished were a highlight. The house was spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed, including fast Wi-Fi, which was a must for our college kids to stay on top of their assignments. It’s also in a great spot—just a 3-minute drive to Weeki Wachee Springs and about 30 minutes from Crystal River. Very reasonably priced and perfect for our family of five. We absolutely loved it and highly recommend it! Would you like a shorter version too?

    This was my 2nd annual April visit to Manatee Hideaway II. This visit I brought my best friend & we greatly enjoyed our visit. The property was clean, comfortable, had everything we could have possibly needed & was the perfect location as every day we sat on the dock enjoying our breakfast & spent the days paddling on the river watching manatees.

    We had a great time and the hosts were amazing to work with. The river didn't disappoint and we were able to view manatee. The house was equipped with all the kitchen needs as we cooked dinners there most nights. Highly recommend for a great reset vacation.

    We really enjoyed our stay! The home had absolutely everything we needed and Aaron was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. There were more than enough towels, household items, cookware, etc. the property was on a canal with just a quick 10 min paddle to the Weeki Wachee river. We loved the bunk bed room for the kids, and the adult bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Thanks again!

    The house and location were perfect for our small getaway with friends to enjoy the springs. The amount of kayaks they had available was perfect! The only issues we came across was part of the couch wasn’t in the best shape, falling apart and the washing machine was SUPER loud. Everything else was fine and we were able to have a nice weekend away with friends.

    Very happy with our visit to Manatee hideaway. It was nice to have kayaks and a canoe available for use. It was also a great location. And the property has toys for the kids. The down side was the air fryer and coffee maker were filthy! We were unable to use them. No one cleaned the air fryer after the last use and the nasty grime on it was too much to clean. The coffee maker had what looked like sand in the water reservoir, so we passed. The size was good for the 6 of us, 4 adults and 2 younger children. They also have a couple ducks on property which was fun. I would totally rent again, just will be better prepared for cooking.

    My family and I had an excellent stay. The home is awesome and the location is perfect. Very close to nature and a short drive to the grocery store , pharmacy and shopping. Easy access to the river and beach. A nice surprise was the quietness of the neighborhood after dark. We had to speak with the owner a couple times and the communication is excellent. No problems just questions.

    We really enjoyed our stay! Home was very clean, cute and inviting. The beds were very comfy and there was pretty much everything you could need. Canal isn't as clear as the river but it also isn't as busy! We had ducks in the yard and manatee visited daily! The hosts are amazing and very quick to reply. I highly recommend this little piece of paradise! ❤?
