Family & Pet-Friendly River Escape w/ Kayaks, Manatees & Outdoor Fun!

Welcome to Watch Me Weeki Wachee!
Old Florida charm meets modern comfort in this stylish 3-bedroom, 2-bath canal-front home—just 8 houses from the main Weeki Wachee River. It's close enough to the action for easy kayaking and boating, yet tucked away for peaceful mornings and quiet evenings. Keep your eyes on the water—manatees often glide right by the dock!

Inside, you’ll find 1,380 sq. ft. of thoughtfully updated living space with cozy coastal décor. The 200 sq. ft. Florida room is perfect for morning coffee, board games, or a breezy afternoon nap. Outside, enjoy over 400 sq. ft. of deck space to grill, lounge, and soak in the canal views—where manatees are frequent and unforgettable visitors.

Why you’ll love the location:
• Just west of Shoal Line Bridge—quick Gulf access for boaters
• Only minutes to Rogers Park (public beach, playground, and boat ramp)
• A short paddle to the winding, scenic part of the Weeki Wachee River
• Walkable to Upper Deck restaurant for great food, drinks & live music
• Front-row seat to manatees cruising the canal—right from the deck!

Whether you’re paddling, relaxing, or hoping for a manatee encounter, Watch Me Weeki Wachee offers the perfect blend of adventure, wildlife, and laid-back coastal vibes.
