This was a great stopover on our way to friends. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable. Bonus-I got to see my first manatee in the water right off the dock. I just wish the weather would have been warmer...Would stay here again.

Very clean! Thoughtful amenities. Super cute decor.
Two small suggestions to make it perfect:
The coffee pot doesn’t function correctly - made coffee but also made a mess.
The primary bedroom window curtains aren’t quite big enough for the sliding door and are very sheer. They don’t allow for complete privacy and do not block the street light shining in at night.
Floors not level hard to walk on. No electricity by the bed for medical equipment. Very uncomfortable bed. Couldn’t stay had to leave after 1 night. After booking 8 nights. Said it was refundable at booking then change it to not refundable after leaving. It didn’t matter it was bad enough I would have forfeit it. It was that bad. I had the pay for another place. Gladly to get out of the muddy mermaid. They were able to book 3 of my nights so I got a 3 day refund.
Went for a last minute relaxing birthday weekend. The room is adorable with vintage appliances and glitter floors! We enjoyed kayaking and saw some dolphins while we were out, and soaking in the in room hot tub was exactly what we needed! The only negative was the beds, but that’s just a personal preference because I like a really soft bed. Everything else was absolutely perfect and we are already planning future vista!
Wonderful little spot for a quick trip. Enjoyed the decor and coffee much appreciated. Didn't have time to kayak this trip but most likely return for another stay.
This place is Old Florida at its best. Close to Weeki Wachee Park in a pretty quiet, beautiful setting. Would definitely go there again!

Unique Retreat
The area was great! I love having access to the kayaks and being able to explore the water areas. The room was nice and clean. The only thing that was a problem was the toilet would not flush! We had an issue with it every time when we finally decided just to use the public bathroom on site. Other than that we loved the quaintness of this retreat.
