Great visit
Location is great - quiet area and about 10 minute paddle to the main canal which drops you in the middle section past the dredging (supposed to be done soon). Accommodations were excellent! Kitchen well stocked, bed comfy, bathrooms nice with plenty of towels. Washer/dryer to get bathing suits clean. Yard is great. The ramp for access to the water beats just having a dock. Extremely easy to get in a kayak. The kayaks aren't new but they work fine. Did I mention it was quiet? Overall a 10/10 stay. Hope to return to this quiet canal home in the future!

Serene location
We had a great time in Weeki Wachee. Communication was quick and easy throughout the entire process. The house was clean and had everything you would need, even little extras, which was great. The house is in a great spot; the area is not too busy or crowded but close to everything. The state park is super close; you can rent kayaks and go down and see the manatees. Our family had a great time.

Manatees every morning!
We had an amazing time at Timothy's place. Even though the home is small, it is set up really well for entertaining. We had a blast just sitting in the kitchen watching people cook. We love the outdoor area with the little bunkhouse. I didn't expect to see manatees in the summer, but we had them at the dock every morning munching on the eelgrass. On the last morning I was drinking my coffee with my feet hanging over the dock with two large manatees feeding below! So cool! Even though the canal houses aren't directly on the Weeki Wachee river, I think manatees are more easily seen on the canals because there is more food for them and they tend to stick around longer. You just have to look for the air bubbles. We also had a barred owl perched above us at dawn and dusk :) Thanks again!

Great time
Quiet location. End of canal but only a few minutes paddle to clear river. Nice outside space and dock. The house was comfortable and really clean. Bring your outdoor/dock chairs and enjoy!

Love the Weeki Wachee!
This property was exactly as described in Vbro and in the pictures. It was a cozy and tastefully decorated cottage. The beds were comfortable. There is a separate bunk house which we did not use. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the kayaks were pretty old; 2 were missing seats and one was missing foot rests. For less than $200. A piece there are gently used ones on Face book Marketplace that could be purchased. New paddles and life preservers would be nice as well:) Other than that, it was exactly what I expected and exactly what I paid for😎Saw lots of wildlife from the deck too. Manatees and iwls came by almost daily! PS Some of the boards on the deck/dock should be replaced soon.

Great house, nice location just needs a little touching up
Loved the location. The house is cute and comfortable. Tim was great to work with. Only area to work on is cleanliness. Sheets were not fresh, I stripped the beds and washed them the second day because I could not deal with them feeling not fresh. I had to wash all the dishes and silverware before using; some where really crusty. The refrigerator had an awful fish smell, ( it smelled up the whole house) Tim sent somebody over right away but it just masked the smell for a short time and then smelled like cheap cleaner and fish mixed. I even wiped it down with Dawn and vinegar but the smell stayed there. The freezer also smelled like fish so we did not buy ice. I didn’t even try to clean that. The dishwasher did not always work. It would start the cycle and then stop. Other times it worked fine. The washing machine screeches very loudly when filling with water but works well. I would stay again but I would know what to expect. Tim really is great but I think he needs a new cleaning person. I have a hard time being comfortable if it doesn’t feel clean to me or if a place stinks.

Perfect place on the river.
Fantastic stay on the Weeki Wachee. House was darling, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. We used the gas bbq and enjoyed the gas outdoor fire pit in the evening. Seen a manatee swim by. Check in process was simple and having the code was great when coming and going. Tim the owner brought an additional kayak for the 3 of us to use. Having a washer and dryer made it so the only luggage needed was a carry on. House had a TV in each bedroom ( including the bunk house that we did not use). Can’t wait to come back! Annie
