Waterfront Front Row Seats to Nature’s Best Show

Great location. Older home that could use some updates but the property makes up for it. Great access to the river and we used the canoes every chance we had.

We had a wonderful stay for our family of six. Precious house with everything you need. The outside dock and swim area is very nice! We saw several Manatees! We enjoyed the time playing on the river and kayaking from Weeki Wachee back to the house! Not having to rent kayaks was a nice perk! Thank you to our host for some good family time and memories made!

The pictures don’t do this property justice. The backyard and dock are really stunning and we had an egret stop by and enjoy happy hour with us. The paddle upstream is arduous if you’re trying to make it all the way to the head springs but worth it no matter how far you make it. We saw plenty of manatee mostly in the canals before you make it to the main river. We found the house very comfortable and well stocked. Annabelle couldn’t have been more communicative and helpful and we had everything we needed and suggestions for everything we might want to do. Well worth the price and an amazing experience. This place is really magical.

We stayed 5 nights the end of March/beginning of April 2026. We had 2 adults and 5 kids. 4 teenagers and our youngest is 7. We had an amazing time. My kids caught tons of fish off the dock. Great location, clean house, wonderful host, family friendly. We enjoyed the crystal clear water. We used our paddle boards, but the house comes with kayaks. We rented go boats. The house is super close to the park with the mermaids. Near excellent restaurants. We had a blast and can't wait to go back! This house was worth every penny and has very fair pricing.

We only wish we could have stayed longer. The house was so well-furnished and decorated and it was the perfect spot for a few nights over our kiddos’ Spring Break for a last minute trip.

This was the perfect getaway destination for the three of us. The house is immaculately clean inside. The hosts have went above and beyond to make it feel like a home away from home. As you walk outside on the back deck all your cares melt away and you feel as if you’re transported to a tropical paradise. We loved kayaking from the canal to the river every day and seeing all fish and wildlife. We didn’t see a manatee on this trip because it was too warm but I can’t wait to come back maybe in the fall and see them from the deck. We still saw lots of turtles, mullet fish that catapult themselves out of the water, and cranes, one that I think might live near by that visits through out the day. Also, Anabelle was very prompt in communicating with me about any questions I had. Amazing hosts! It was a beautiful and peaceful vacation. Thanks so much for having us. We will be back.

The hosts are wonderful and the house met our needs! The kayaking from Weeki Wachee is a must do!

Wonderful setting and beautiful home! We were visiting family nearby and had a great stay - everything we needed was included. Spent an afternoon on the canals and found a pod of manatees nearby. Absolutely beautiful.

2nd stay at this house and already booking another stay. The perfect getaway off the beaten path.

Relaxing Location

Me, my wife, and our daughter really enjoyed our time here.

An amazing stay on the river. Home was clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The river is beautiful, plenty of kayaks and highly recommend doing a scalloping tour if you have never done it. Saw manatees and even a dolphin right off the dock. Overall an awesome experience!

Had a fantastic time we enjoyed, swimming, kyaking the river and fishing right on property. Everything was so neat clean and very relaxing we could just go with the flow. Close to everything we could possibly want. One particular highlight was seeing a wild dolphin right off the dock. Amazing!

Such a cute place! We loved our stay on the river and felt right at home. We loved that we could paddle just a little ways up the river and be away from all housing as well.

We had the best time together in Spring Hill.The nature was vibrant and we were here for it!!!The wood storks and manatees made our days:)What a gem. I felt like a child in 1988 at a camp with my family.Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Our stay was wonderful! The location was perfect for getting to Weeki Wachee reserve. We saw manatees everyday from the back deck! There were kayaks of all sizes that were perfect for everyone in my family, big and small. Plenty of lifejackets and a large floating mat that we used everyday. The house was clean and had all the amenities you will need. The host responded immediately to all correspondences and was very helpful. Definitely recommend!

We came done to Florida to visit with family, and also enjoy the Weeki Wachee - one of our favorite places. The house is back off the river and has easy access. The entry to the river is central enough to either go up to state park or down to Rodger’s park.

This was by far, one of the best experiences we’ve had on the best canal in the Weeki Wachee area; the home has an exceptional outdoor deck and dock area and the home had a great living space, comfortable beds and adequately provided all of our indoor needs;Manatee routinely swam up to the dock at high-tide to eat the vegetation and was an amazing treat to watch! Morning coffees on the deck underneath the majestic old-Florida oak tree shading the home were the most peaceful part of our day! The host was extremely prompt with any of questions and communication and really made us feel welcome and appreciated with personal touches. We can’t wait to plan another trip to this little gem in a corner of paradise! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

The house was just right, very welcoming, 2 bathrooms, lots of sleeping options and the location was amazing. We enjoyed the fire pit and the deck. Date night at the local Italian restaurant was perfect. The stable of kayaks needs some attention, but the host was helpful is getting us what we needed for four days on the amazing river. Also ask the host about launching your kayaks from Weeki Wachee State Park for the best experience!

On one of our last days a manatee swam right by us, got to see it up close and personal made our trip.

First winter trip in retirement .Normally I have one or two weeks vacation. This time no hurry. Great location, very quiet, nice canal that gets you to the Weeki wachee river. Nice that you are in a.secluded spot, but 4 miles to anything you need.House had everything you need abc the big bonus was we could bring our dogs. Big side yard for them to run . We all had a great time

We loved our time in this amazing house. Thank you to the kayaks we got to swim with manatees!

We loved staying in this space -perfect size for our little family. Loved sitting out on the back deck and the canals are so fun to paddle down. Loves the proximity to Weeki Wachee Springs and the hospital hole! The hosts were so considerate and responsive.

We had an amazing time! The house is very functional and welcoming:) Annabelle was super responsive and helpful with all the questions I had. We had a very relaxing time as well as great kayaking!

We enjoyed our stay. The location, on the canal, was great. There was plenty of room for the 3 of us and the beds were comfortable. Towels and linens were all good quality and there were plenty of crockery, mugs and glasses. There is plenty of space outside and several kayaks and other stuff to use. The reason for not giving 5 out of 5 was the need for some updating in terms of showers, decor, overall maintenence etc. Also the main sofa was quite uncomfortable. Overall it was good rather than great

This home was perfect for a long weekend get away. The kids loved the lily pad, swimming, and kayaking in front of the house. They were safe and could enjoy the water while the adults relaxed on the dock and/or patio. The main river was just a short paddle away which was lovely.

A beautiful break away from the hustle of everyday life. Our first vacation away with my 11 and 15 year old. Cut short thanks to hurricane Helene. Lots of paddling on the river. Lots of wildlife. We had a few camp fires. The dock was a beautiful place to sit and have coffee or a cocktail! The home had everything we needed. The owner was great to communicate as well! We hope to be able to make it back to continue to explore the area!

This peaceful piece of paradise was just what we were needing. This home was extremely welcoming and even better than described, well suited for our varying ages from 1 to 79. Kayaks were very popular for some in our party, and water viewing was enjoyed by all. Ended our perfect stay with s'mores around the fire pit. Hope we'll be invited to return.
