About this property

Weeki Mermaid Retreat w/Kayaks SUPs Hammock Games

  • Relax, Unwind & Make a Splash at Your Waterfront Weeki Wachee Retreat



    Welcome to your own slice of Florida’s Nature Coast! This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront retreat sits in a peaceful neighborhood along the beautiful canals of the Weeki Wachee River, offering the perfect home base for families, friends, couples, and groups looking to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the water.



    Whether your ideal getaway means paddling down a crystal-clear spring-fed river, relaxing on the dock with a good book, gathering around the firepit after a day of adventure, or simply enjoying a comfortable home away from home, this property makes it easy to do it all.



    A Comfortable Home for the Whole Crew



    With a split-bedroom floor plan, two living areas, and sleeping accommodations for up to 9 guests, there’s plenty of room to spread out and relax. The cozy den includes additional sleeping space with a foam mattress, making it a versatile spot for kids, teens, or extra guests.



    Each room features a Roku-equipped or Smart TV, while strong WiFi keeps everyone connected for streaming, gaming, or planning the next day’s adventures. When you’re ready to unplug, you’ll also find a selection of games, books, and videos for some good old-fashioned downtime.



    Everything You Need to Feel at Home



    The fully equipped kitchen is ready for everything from quick breakfasts to family dinners and fresh-caught seafood. You’ll find stainless-steel appliances, cookware, utensils, pantry basics, spices, and more, so you can prepare meals without having to pack the kitchen sink.



    Step outside to the screened patio, where you can fire up the propane grill, enjoy a meal at the table for six, or relax together on the swing built for two. The spacious yard offers even more room to enjoy the Florida sunshine, with a hammock for lazy afternoons, a firepit for evening gatherings, and outdoor games for some friendly competition.



    Your Own Waterfront Playground



    The real star of the property is the water.



    Located directly on the canal, the private turquoise dock gives you easy access to the waterways of the Weeki Wachee River. Use the provided kayaks or paddleboards and launch right from the property, or simply spend some time by the water soaking up the peaceful surroundings.



    A floating swim mat is provided for those who want to cool off and enjoy the water right from the dock. Keep an eye out for Florida wildlife as you relax—being on the water means nature is always close by.



    Thoughtful Amenities for an Easy Stay



    We’ve stocked the home with the little extras that make a vacation more comfortable:



    -Premium shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in both bathrooms

    -Starter supplies of coffee, creamer, and household essentials

    -Washer and dryer with laundry detergent provided

    -Fully equipped kitchen with cookware and pantry basics

    -Strong WiFi and Smart/Roku TVs throughout the home

    -Games, books, and videos for relaxing downtime

    -Triple-wide driveway with plenty of room for vehicles, boats, or trailers



    Explore Weeki Wachee & Florida’s Nature Coast



    There’s plenty to explore just beyond your front door. The home is only minutes from the crystal-clear Weeki Wachee River, where you can kayak, paddleboard, or explore the waterways toward the Gulf of Mexico.



    Spend the day at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, famous for its legendary live mermaid show, or cool off at Buccaneer Bay Water Park. For a relaxing beach day, head to Pine Island Beach and enjoy the sandy shoreline and Gulf breezes.



    After a day on the water, come home to grill dinner, gather around the firepit, or simply sit back and enjoy the peaceful waterfront setting.



    Whether you’re planning an action-packed family vacation, a friends’ getaway, a romantic escape, or a relaxing retreat surrounded by nature, this waterfront home gives you the space, comfort, and location to make the most of your time on Florida’s Nature Coast.



    Come for the crystal-clear water. Stay for the sunsets, wildlife, relaxation, and memories you’ll make along the Weeki Wachee River.

Great space

We enjoyed our stay at the mermaid retreat. The common areas are spacious and cozy. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and we very much enjoyed the kayaks, lanai and dock. Just a short paddle away from the river where we could paddle up towards the state park. Saw several manatees on our journey. The neighbors are friendly and quiet. Very peaceful overall.

Don’t hesitate…This home lacks NOTHING!

We had the best time for Thanksgiving. The house was VERY clean and VERY well equip. We will definitely return. The river was beautiful, we seen lots of mullet, Manatees & babies. The grands and kids enjoyed fishing, kayaking & having fire's. The screen room outside is perfect, with a grill, the long dock was great and made it easy for a few to be fishing at the same time. We made so many new memories and had lots of laughs. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. -Darnell Family Thanksgiving 2023

Great rental

My family and I had an amazing stay for our spring break. The location is great. Five minutes down the road from the Weeki Wachee state park. We kayaked from the house to the spring and it was just amazing. We also put in at the state park and kayaked back to the house. Our kids loved playing in the canal. Over all a great stay!

Manatees and more

We were looking for location and kayaks to provide a relaxing getaway with family. The house met our needs perfectly. We kayaked several times up and down the River and were rewarded encounters with manatee mammas and babies, turtles and bird life. The owners left an amazing welcome “snack” in the refrigerator that we worked on for several days. We hated to see our visit end.
