About this property
Waterfront Front Row Seats to Nature’s Best Show
Imagine sipping coffee on the dock when a manatee glides up like it’s auditioning for the role of “Cutest Neighbor Ever.” It happens here. Often. Whatever you do, do not read the reviews to find out if we're telling the truth and what other amazing animals like to show up at our dock ;)
And if you don’t want wildlife sightings right off the backyard, this probably isn’t for you. But if you do… our kayaks are waiting, the yard is massive, and the fire pit is practically begging for marshmallows.
Our family-friendly waterfront home is a slice of Florida paradise, just a five-minute paddle to the crystal-clear, 72-degree waters of Weeki Wachee.
We love this place because it’s the best of both worlds—relaxing when you want it to be, and full of outdoor fun when you’re ready for it. Whether you’re here to kayak with MANATEES, fish off the dock, or just soak up the sunshine, this place is designed for making real memories with family and friends.
What You’ll Love About This Home:
**BIG Dock** – Perfect for fishing, launching kayaks, or just enjoying a morning coffee.

Outdoor Fun Starts Here
This is the kind of place where memories just happen. Spend your days paddling down the river, grilling up fresh-caught fish, playing lawn games, or just kicking back on the dock** while mullet jump and manatees glide by.
At night, gather around the fire pit, tell stories, and watch the stars. (Pro tip: S’mores make everything better!)
Want to explore beyond the house? You’re just minutes from Weeki Wachee Springs, Pine Island Beach, and some of Florida’s best water adventures.
Oh, and don’t worry—restaurants, groceries, and anything else you need are just a short drive away.

An amazing stay on the river. Home was clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The river is beautiful, plenty of kayaks and highly recommend doing a scalloping tour if you have never done it. Saw manatees and even a dolphin right off the dock. Overall an awesome experience!
We liked our stay out here. The backyard space was amazing and we spent most of our time out there watching the water. We even got to see two dolphins during our stay.
We loved staying in this space -perfect size for our little family. Loved sitting out on the back deck and the canals are so fun to paddle down. Loves the proximity to Weeki Wachee Springs and the hospital hole! The hosts were so considerate and responsive.
We came done to Florida to visit with family, and also enjoy the Weeki Wachee - one of our favorite places. The house is back off the river and has easy access. The entry to the river is central enough to either go up to state park or down to Rodger’s park.
We had an amazing time! The house is very functional and welcoming:) Annabelle was super responsive and helpful with all the questions I had. We had a very relaxing time as well as great kayaking!
We loved the location. The water pad and dock provided hours of entertainment for my kids. Loved the welcoming touches like the letter board welcoming us. We also really loved that there were kayaks there to use and we didn’t have bring our own. The house is adorable and we really enjoyed our stay.
The house is very comfortable in a very quiet neighborhood. The amenities were carefully thought out and it shows. Everything was very easy to operate. Definitely recommend this house and would definitely stay here again.
This home was perfect for a long weekend get away. The kids loved the lily pad, swimming, and kayaking in front of the house. They were safe and could enjoy the water while the adults relaxed on the dock and/or patio. The main river was just a short paddle away which was lovely.
We had a great time! We watched manatees swim in the back yard, plenty of paddle boards/ kayaks and things to do. The water mat was a hit for the kids . Family of seven fit comfortably:)
We enjoyed our stay in this property. The property owner was very supportive and accessible, and the cabin met all our needs and expectations. We did not experience any issues or difficulties during our 4-night stay. It was also nice to find that the area around Weeki Wachee included many restaurants and other business establishments that made the trip all the more enjoyable.
We had the most fun, peaceful, relaxing vacation here! We kayaked all over and saw manatees every day! Sitting on the dock with a coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening was so peaceful and perfect. The river is beautiful and calm enough for kids to kayak on. Close to what you need if you have to run out, but still feels very private. Definitely the best vacation we’ve had in a long time!
Perfect little gem of a home along a canal leading directly to the river. Full of thoughtful touches. The dock was a happening place! We saw turtles, manatees, crabs, cranes and tons of different fish right from the house’s backyard dock. Would definitely stay here again!
The house was just right, very welcoming, 2 bathrooms, lots of sleeping options and the location was amazing. We enjoyed the fire pit and the deck. Date night at the local Italian restaurant was perfect. The stable of kayaks needs some attention, but the host was helpful is getting us what we needed for four days on the amazing river. Also ask the host about launching your kayaks from Weeki Wachee State Park for the best experience!
This peaceful piece of paradise was just what we were needing. This home was extremely welcoming and even better than described, well suited for our varying ages from 1 to 79. Kayaks were very popular for some in our party, and water viewing was enjoyed by all. Ended our perfect stay with s'mores around the fire pit. Hope we'll be invited to return.
Went here for a quick get away with the family, two boys (4/7). The house was the perfect size with all the amenities you’d need. Owner was easy to reach and responsive.
The dock/ramp has kayaks available and easy access to waterways leading to the main river. Short 5-10 minute paddle to the crystal clear water, saw wildlife including manatees on the way. Everyone loved the trip!
The house was clean and well decorated. The backyard and kayaking was unmatched. It was so charming and a lot of fun. We loved watching the leaping mullet.
Though it did rain one day, we were able to spread out and enjoy a puzzle and dinner at home. Plenty of space!
Thanks so much for a wonderful experience at Weeki Wachee!!
First winter trip in retirement .Normally I have one or two weeks vacation. This time no hurry. Great location, very quiet, nice canal that gets you to the Weeki wachee river. Nice that you are in a.secluded spot, but 4 miles to anything you need.House had everything you need abc the big bonus was we could bring our dogs. Big side yard for them to run . We all had a great time
The kayaks were the key for me. Annabelle has the house set up with all the amenities you could want. The outside deck area is wonderfully inviting. We were in the water within 30 minutes of arrival. We saw turtles and fish and manatees! Wonderful experience. We will be back
Loved our stay at this sweet little home. We enjoyed walking out and sitting on the back dock which was by far the highlight of the home. Beautiful and well made. The kitchen is fully stocked and made for easy mealtime cooking. The kayaks and water mat were a blast! We will definitely be returning. My only request is that the front door handle be replaced lol.
This was by far, one of the best experiences we’ve had on the best canal in the Weeki Wachee area; the home has an exceptional outdoor deck and dock area and the home had a great living space, comfortable beds and adequately provided all of our indoor needs;Manatee routinely swam up to the dock at high-tide to eat the vegetation and was an amazing treat to watch! Morning coffees on the deck underneath the majestic old-Florida oak tree shading the home were the most peaceful part of our day! The host was extremely prompt with any of questions and communication and really made us feel welcome and appreciated with personal touches. We can’t wait to plan another trip to this little gem in a corner of paradise! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
A beautiful break away from the hustle of everyday life. Our first vacation away with my 11 and 15 year old. Cut short thanks to hurricane Helene. Lots of paddling on the river. Lots of wildlife. We had a few camp fires. The dock was a beautiful place to sit and have coffee or a cocktail! The home had everything we needed. The owner was great to communicate as well! We hope to be able to make it back to continue to explore the area!
