FANTASTIC Waterfront Home: Your Weeki Wachee Escape! KAYAKS FIRE PIT HUGE YARD

Ever dreamed of waking up to the sound of birds, a gentle river breeze, and the call of adventure right outside your door?

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.

**Kayaks Included** – No need to rent! We’ve got **5 adult kayaks + 3 kid-sized ones** ready for adventure.

**Huge Yard & Fire Pit** – Room to play, grill out, or make s’mores under the stars.

**Unbeatable Location** – Close to parks, springs, and Weeki Wachee’s famous **mermaid show**!

**Space for the Whole Crew** – Sleeps up to 6 adults comfortably, or 8 with little ones.

---

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.

Inside the House

We’ve set this place up to feel like home, but better.

- **Master Bedroom**: King bed (because everyone deserves a good night’s sleep).

- **Guest Room**: Queen bed + 2 convertible chairs that become a queen or two singles.

- **Living Room**: Cozy and open, perfect for movie nights or game time.

- **Fully Stocked Kitchen**: Everything you need to cook up a feast (minus the groceries).

- **Washer/Dryer**: Because no one wants to take home wet swimsuits.

---

Pet-Friendly (With a Few Rules)

We totally get it—pets are family. That’s why we allow one small dog (under 20lbs) with a **non-refundable $200 pet fee**. (Sorry, no cats!) If you have a special case, just reach out—we’re happy to chat.

---

A Few Things to Know

- **This is our family’s home away from home.** We ask that guests **treat it with the same love and care** we do.

- **We have 3 outdoor security cameras** in **public-facing areas only** (driveway and yard). This is just to keep trespassers away and ensure a safe stay.

- **Grills are available (gas & charcoal)**, but guests will need to provide their own propane/charcoal.

Rustic house in great location

We enjoyed our stay. The location, on the canal, was great. There was plenty of room for the 3 of us and the beds were comfortable. Towels and linens were all good quality and there were plenty of crockery, mugs and glasses. There is plenty of space outside and several kayaks and other stuff to use. The reason for not giving 5 out of 5 was the need for some updating in terms of showers, decor, overall maintenence etc. Also the main sofa was quite uncomfortable. Overall it was good rather than great

Weeki wachi get away

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.

Fall Break

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!

Making memories

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.

Perfect for a little family getaway

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.

Tranquility

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.

Very Welcoming

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!!

Perfect slice of paradise!

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!

Home on the River

From the moment we walked in, we felt an incredible sense of comfort and homeliness. Nestled in a sweet little neighborhood right on the river, the location was absolutely perfect. Annabelle was incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring that our stay was seamless and enjoyable. The thoughtful touches throughout the house truly made a difference—coffee available, creamer in the fridge, a fresh bag of ice in the freezer, and many other small conveniences that were thoughtfully provided. We enjoyed this space so much and created lasting memories. We will definitely be staying again in the future. Highly recommended!

The Story of Belle Springs & Oaks
A Search for Belonging

As a child, I often felt like I was searching for a place to belong. I was an only child, my father was often away, and my mother and I struggled to connect. Friendships came and went, leaving me longing for something lasting.

Our family traveled often, visiting beautiful places. Yet, something was missing. The destinations were stunning, but they lacked warmth, connection, and a sense of home. That’s when I realized: a trip isn’t just about where you go, but how you feel when you’re there.

The Moment Everything Changed

Years later, under a golden Florida sunset, I watched my children laugh around the firepit of our newly purchased vacation home. The smell of toasted marshmallows filled the air, voices mingled in stories, and time seemed to slow.

In that moment, I knew—I had finally found what I had been searching for.

Belle Springs & Oaks wasn’t just a house; it was a place for families to truly be together, where time stretched and every moment became a cherished memory.

More Than Just a Stay—A Place to Belong

Too many rentals in Weeki Wachee felt impersonal and I wanted more. I wanted a place where my children could run barefoot through the grass, where I could sip my morning coffee in peace, where comfort and thoughtfulness were simple and embracing.

So, we created something different.

Belle Springs & Oaks is designed for togetherness. Every detail—from cozy beds to a stocked kitchen, from a peaceful nook to spacious outdoor areas—was chosen with care. Here, generations can relax, connect, and rediscover simple joys.

## A Legacy of Connection

My dream is to create a place where children grow up making memories and return with their own families years later.

Because in the end, the heart of any journey isn’t just the destination—it’s who you share it with.

Welcome to Belle Springs & Oaks.
Welcome home.

Why they chose this property

This home is first and foremost our home away from home, where we go for family fun and celebration. We created it to be shared but also to feel cozy and welcoming to us and to others.
The spacious yard is perfect for playing Frisbee, softball, tag and so much more and we added some activities we hope you'll appreciate.
The water is beautiful and 72 degrees all year around: perfect to cool off on hot summer days and warm during cooler winter days.
Our home is on a canal that has several springs throughout it making it one of the cleanest ones in Weeki Wachee Gardens and where fish, birds and manatees like to hang out. There is also a water fountain at the very end of it for some added fun.

What makes this property unique

Ou home is equipped with 4 adult kayaks and 4 kids' kayaks (2 of which can be used by adults as well) and a water mattress that has proven to be an endless source of fun for everyone.
The boat ramp is one of the best secrets to this home. The ramp also makes it for a perfect way to very easily get in and out of kayaks as well as a great spot for kids to play.
CHILDREN MUST BE UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION AT ALL TIMES.
