Place was clean. Location to restaurants, etc good. Wish we could have parked in the driveway off the street and a sidewalk to the porch.
Manager was helpful and kind.
This house was like a second home to my family. It has a great location which is close to the commercial listing for food and to the park where the kids can swim. The home came well equipped with kayaks for the beautiful canal behind the home. The host was quick to respond to my messages and was super friendly. I would recommend this to any family traveling into weeki wachee

Great Get-Away
What a great little cottage; decorated perfect for the area. Easy river access from the canal. Had a great time kayaking and canoeing and will definately be back. Just down the road is "Howard's" Flea Market and Homasassa River State Park. Great location and the perfect vacation get a-way! Owner's are wonderful and easy to deal with.

Not a bad place
Place was clean and fairly well equipped. Large pontoon boat was docked out back which took away from the view and any chance of fishing. Be advised there is no cell phone service in the area for some reason. You have to drive aways to make calls or text. Wifi was spotty as well.
The pictures of the place were VERY deceiving! different furniture, all floors 1 1/2 inch from one side to the other unlevel! The bathroom was old and unlevel, you felt like you were stepping in a hole everytime you stepped down in it. Most all floors had a step down or 2 steps up. And it smelled musty and moldy….probably why there were air fresheners plugged in throughout the house. The garbage tote was already half filled up and not emptied. I stayed Jan 2-Jan 22, I could not stay any longer, my reservation in Weeki Watchee should not even be on VRBO, It will be a long time before I rent from VRBO again, I would like my cleaning fee back since I am the one that cleaned everything that was used. I paid A LOT for this dump and knew I could not get my money back so I was very unhappy that I had to stay in it. I could have rented a motel room cheaper and much cleaner than this and I will probably the next time. None of the pictures of the place depicted the way it really was, very deceptive and untruthful. Although, the pictures have been changed since I left the rental. No one paying this much should have to live like that!
Great location. We used the canoe but also brought a small fishing boat. We saw Manatee almost every time we went out. Had fun fishing the channels. Also encountered dolphins. Home had everything we needed. Loved the extra coat hooks throughout the house and king-size bed in master. Fenced in yard was great . . . Our dog loved it as well!
Because of Covid 19 we were unable to go many places, but enjoyed kayaking from the river in the backyard and going to the beach 5 miles away. We were uncertain if we were going to be able to leave when our stay was up, and the owners were wonderfully flexible. We appreciated their support during a difficult time.
Cozy little home on a canal with a soft relaxing breeze sitting outside. Nice stay away from major traffic, but close to shopping and a nice little beach on the gulf. We had everything we needed for a
Nice vacation.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
A one month stay-January 2020
The house had about everything you would need & it was decorated nicely. However, we could not get rid of the bad indoor smell, probably due to being an old wood house in a damp location. The 2 mattresses are worn out, uncomfortable, & sag in the middle. The yard was not clean as pictured. The patio was cluttered & there was a lot of extra seating (much needed cleaning). There were 2 nice webbed chairs. The house really could use a good spring cleaning & cleaning in the cupboards. The washer & dryer were nice. Can be a little hard to launch a kayak, depending on the tide, but nice to be able to paddle to the river.

Good stay
Great stay for the price. Owners were very nice and responsive to a few questions we had. Enjoyed using the grill and eating outside on the patio. The canoe and kayak were great fun on the canal, but we had a very difficult (dangerous?!) time getting in and out of them as there was no good place to launch. Otherwise, all was great!

Perfect location. Excellent hosts. Will definitely return!
The house was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was even fully equipped for a family Thanksgiving dinner! Very clean and comfortable - just like home! We loved the canal/river access. And our hosts were extremely accommodating to our needs. Highly recommended location and lodging!

Very nice
We spent the whole month of February there. Just perfect for us and our Boston Terrier. Fenced in yard, right on a canal. Lots of outdoor activities. Perfect for a couple.

Cozy, homey cottage surrounded by nature
This cottage on the canal in Weeki Wachee Gardens is only a 10 minute drive to Bayport Park on the Gulf of Mexico, where people gather to watch the beautiful sunsets. There are plenty of parks around so you can enjoy nature even if you don't take advantage of the canoes provided by Paula and Ray. It's also close to all the restaurants and stores you could ask for.
Paula and Ray were very responsive and easy to work with, but never intruded. They have the cottage stocked with everything you need to just move right in and start your vacation. It is decorated in a mermaid/nautical theme, which is so appropriate being right by the Weeki Wachee State Park with the mermaid shows.
If you're looking for glitzy, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for a comfortable, cozy HOME during your vacation, this is it. I have already recommended this cottage to a family member.

Wonderful Cottage on the canal
Our family truly enjoyed our vacation at this very well-kept cottage on the canal. Inside the cottage is larger than we had expected and the decor fit the atmosphere well!! We really enjoyed using the 3 kayaks. Everything that we needed was there and Ray was so helpful in meeting us and assisting us some with our boat. The only negative thing about our experience was that it was difficult to get into and out of our boat with the PVC pipes and cement pavers...an actual dock would have made things a bit easier! However, we have 3 small children. Adults probably don't have a problem with that! We really enjoyed everything about our stay otherwise. We would love to come back again next summer! Thank you for everything!

Two long term stays
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this location during the winters of 2014 & 2015. (10-12 weeks per visit) Photos and descriptions of the cottage are accurate. It was recently redecorated, is clean, and well outfitted. Paula and Ray are attentive, friendly landlords. We enjoyed local attractions & events listed on the Hernando County website. Other renter reviews confirm our observations. Our circumstances have changed, or we would return for a third season. Thank you and best wishes to you Paula and Ray.

Canal Oasis
My husband and I spent three fabulous weeks at this very comfortable, cozy cottage on the canal! It was pure pleasure meeting the owners, Paula and Ray, both of whom could not have been more helpful or more accommodating. The cottage offers peace, quiet, comfort, all the amenities of home, and plenty of space! The canal provides manatees at your feet, turtles, and high jumping fish for entertainment! The cottage, though very private and peaceful, is conveniently located, just 5 miles to anything you might need.
Though we did not take advantage of the canoe or kayaks, they were available.
Our two small poodles loved the fully fenced yard, and had a great time chasing frogs and small lizards.
