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.
This is our second time staying at this property and we had a great time. Our favorite spot would be the covered dock where we fished, swam, manatee watched, and enjoyed the week.
We love this place been there twice and we have our own name for it. It has everything you need for a good time on the river, new awesome Kayaks and not far from the main river.
We had a GREAT time at this rental. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We used the kayaks provided and seen manatees and dolphins on the canal. I would rent this place again. Thank YOU!
Although all members of our party were not able to make it we had an awesome time! First time kayaker and the outside dock area makes you feel like not leaving!
We will definitely be returning next year!!
This was our second trip and it was wonderful! Very clean and great fishing. Needs a water hose in back area to clean off deck and a curtain on sliding glass door. Had problems with main bathroom door closing. Overall we look forward to visiting next year. Great place
Second time staying here and couldn’t ask for more! My husband and I enjoyed our kayaking trips and catching fish right from our own dock! The last night we were there we had a manatee come right to the dock to eat the grasses. It was amazing. Can’t wait until we can book again!
We enjoyed our stay. The home was nice and clean. We only wished that the checkout was later, at 11 so we didn't have to set an alarm and feel rushed to clean up and leave. We would have liked to have had an extra hour to relax by the water before leaving. All else was good.
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!
Everything about this place is great. Location is awesome. Not far from everything, but far enough it's quiet and peaceful. Met the cleaning lady( which I might add came out on a Sunday to try to help) do to the fact that the TV remote was missing. She was great as well. Communication with the home owners was also great. They over nighted 2 brand new remotes and a box of batteries. Sitting under the bocks shelter while it rained for a day was so relaxing as well. Would stay here again.
We stayed at this property for 4 days and loved every minute. The location is close to the springs and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The house was very clean and had everything you may need while you stay. We spent most of our time kayaking or floating in the canal behind the house. We saw so many manatees I lost count. One day two baby manatees were playing in our canal for more than half the day. It was adorable to see how playful they are. We also saw dolphins and lots of turtles. We can’t wait to come back.
Older Florida home located on Weeki Wachee canal. Home has some modern touches. VRBO pictures and amenities match what we experienced. Because it was an older home with what appears to be several additions, there is some sloping of the floors but not bothersome. There is a single step into each of the bedrooms which I did notice in the pictures. Bed mattress was softer than what we like but we still were able to enjoy restful sleep. Neighbors were very nice.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. Family used the kayaks and paddleboards the owners provided. Our dog (and us too) loved watching the birds in the area. We didn't see manatees in the canal but did in other locations. Location is close to shopping & restaurants. Other areas like Tampa, Crystal River, Withlacochee, etc. are within reasonable driving range.
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.
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 had an awesome stay. Very clean and the main bed was very comfortable. Kayaked the river multiple times. Saw three manatee at the mouth of the canal. Very relaxing river float (downstream).
The house was very nice and clean,location was great! Everything we needed was was there . We enjoyed floating on the water right off the dock and we did see manatee right off the dock would highly recommend this place!!
