Our stay at Paddlers Cove was more than wonderful. From the great communication and customer service from Dave and Kelly, to the cleanliness and location of the property, we give it a 10/10. We have stayed at a few vacation rentals in Weeki Wachee and this one was by far the cleanest and had the nicest water toys to use. Fully stocked, we did not need a thing while on the trip. We will most definitely be staying here again on our next trip!

Dreamy Family Vacation

From the spacious accommodations to the thoughtful little details, this home was the perfect getaway for our family. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows at the waterside fire pit, played a marathon game of Monopoly, and took advantage of the kayaks and stand up boards. Can’t imagine anything more perfect!

Wonderful Weeki Stay

My family had an amazing midweek trip to the adorable Florida town Weeki Wachee. This rental was perfect for our family of 5. It had all we needed and more (kayaks, paddle boards, floating dock with swim mat). We even brought our dog who enjoyed the fenced in yard and dock. We were able to see the manatees from the backyard, enjoyed roasting marshmellows around the firepit, grilling out on the back porch, and it was a perfect location to the hospital hole and rogers park. Do yourself a favor and book this place!

Our stay at this beautiful home on the Weeki Wachee River was absolutely perfect! The location couldn't have been better - peaceful, scenic, and right on the crystal-clear river, making it easy to enjoy kayaking, swimming, and relaxing by the water every day.The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for an stress-free stay. One of the best parts was how truly dog-friendly it was. Our pups felt just as welcome as we did, and having a place where we could all relax together made the trip even more special.Seeing manatees right from the property was unforgettable and made the experience feel truly unique. Evenings by the fire were beautiful and relaxing. The hosts clearly care about their guests and have created a warm, welcoming space that feels like a home away from home.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway on the Weeki Wachee River - especially if you're traveling with your furry family members!

We spent 3 blissful days and nights in Paddlers Cove and couldn’t have enjoyed it more. The location is amazing, the house beautifully updated and spotless, and the hosts thought of everything. EVERY thing. We spent most of our time outside paddling (paddleboards AND kayaks for all, including child size kayaks), fishing, and spending time by the fire pit and on the porch - and saw dolphins a couple times. We loved having such a quiet spot and really felt like we were away from everything - yet only 13 minutes from Walmart to grab something we needed. We cooked every meal but one in the house, and found the kitchen to be fully equipped for all our culinary adventures. We enjoyed paddling to Upper Deck for our one meal out, which was such a fun way to go. We had the best time staying here, and look forward to a return visit! If you’re looking to get away, spend time in nature, and just RELAX, we couldn’t recommend Paddlers Cove more.

Great home with a great location in Weeki Wachee! We came for 4 nights to celebrate the end of summer and were very pleased with everything. The hosts were very attentive and easy to get in touch with. Everything was clean, stocked and welcoming. I am an overly prepared person and they had pretty much everything I never see in rentals. Several box fans for the porch, everything for paddle adventures, extension cords, gas grill, lighters, etc. The water behind the house isn't crystal clear but its safe and fun for the kids to swim and play on the kayaks. Its clear enough to see all the fish, several manatees including a newborn baby and even a couple of dolphins. We did the 10 minute paddle up to Rogers park which was a great place to swim and play in the sand. Highly recommend the property and the hosts. We will be back!
