WATERFRONT DEAL! Boat Dock/Ramp•Kayaks•SUP•Easy Gulf•Fish•Manatees, Dog friendly

Bring your dog. Kayaks and stand up paddle boards included. Yard is fully fenced. Boat to scalloping.
Modern home. Boat ramp and dock, perfect for boaters. Can launch jet skis and small boats at house, and very close to Bayport ramp for larger boats. Deep canal and dock is great for most size boats. Perfect location for boaters wanting to go scalloping or fishing in the gulf. Located in a quiet wooded setting of full time residents on dead end street. Modern kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances. Fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes and silverware. Bathrooms stocked with soaps and shampoos and towels. Each bedroom and living areas with own smart television. Master bedroom has attached full bathroom with standup shower. Home has kayaks and paddle boards for paddling with the manatees. The local paddling is amazing with a private swimming hole and easy paddling to Rogers Park Beach. World-class fishing and scalloping. This home has fantastic boat access to the gulf. If unavailable at time desired, I have other Weeki Wachee properties that might be ideal for your stay.

It was exactly as it was described a slice of paradise with a canal in the backyard that leads to the Gulf of Mexico. We had kayaks and paddle boards. There was enough lifejackets and paddles for everyone to enjoy. The owner. Provided us with local knowledge and inside tips to make sure that our vacation was over the top! Thank you

Great Family Getaway Location

The canal front property is great! It's conveniently located to the river and state park. We were able to launch the kayaks from the property's own boat ramp. We had everything we needed for a fun family getaway.

No complaints.

We had an amazing time making great memories. Canal slightly murky but that didn’t not stop any of the six kids from getting in and enjoying! We rented to John boats and went to the springs and made it an all day affair other than that we never left the house except for groceries. Thank you!

() Lovely location, so fun! Perfect for a small group or two couples. Quiet neighborhood with a fun waterway in the back. The use of the kayaks was great!! (-) very limited toilet paper, was unable to get a working remote for one of the tvs, no pillows, sheet sets(only two fitted sheets, one thin bedspread and an old hand-me-down blanket)for the couch and futon. The futon should not be included in the number of beds because it is really hard. Also...there are some roaches but you are on water. Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives and we made beautiful memories.

What a great place to stay! We came out for a family emergency and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The place had everything we needed and it was very cozy and comforting place to be. Kevin is an amazing host and was so very helpful! It was unfortunate that we couldn't take advantage of all the amenities the place had to offer.

The property was exactly as presented on VRBO. Kevin was a most gracious host and was immediately focused on any of our needs, which were minimal, during our stay. The house area is very peaceful and the neighbors quite friendly. You have backyard access to water for whatever you want to do. We would definitely stay there again.

Cozy Spot on the Water

Very down home, old Florida neighborhood. Loved the boat ramp; made the water easily accessible, although it is VERY slippery down by the water. Quiet neighborhood, just a short kayak trip up the creek (or walk) to a local swimming hole. Cozy house, just needs a few updates. We had a very nice stay with the family. Spent most of our time on the water and enjoying the outdoor back yard and dock area.
