They say families only get together for wedding and funerals well that was the case for renting this unit. Our Dad passed at 96 years old and although everyone was there to mourn it was great to have a wonderful location to have many of us together. Our biggest complaint on this unit is the ground floor smelled of mold and its seems there are flooding issues with this location. On scale of 1-5 i would rate our stay at a 3 due to these conditions
A step back in time! It had been 50 years since my last visit to the Weeki Wachee River. As a Child, in the 60's, my parents owned a place on the Weeki Wachee River and I spent almost every weekend there. Other than a few dozen new homes, everything is the same. The water is still crystal clear, and the marine life is abundant. We rented a Pontoon boat, but spent a lot of time on the kayaks and canoe provided by this host. This property is close to the Gulf, so simply lounging on the covered dock and watching the parade of boats idle by, was entertainment enough! The home is super comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen. CS from SW Florida.
We checked in on Memorial Day and the neighborhood was very alive with families/friends enjoying their holiday. Lots of people swimming and grilling...which provided a great vibe. We were alittle nervous about swimming until we saw all the people jumping in and having a great time. My son said "this is the best water I have ever been in!"
The next day the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. The house was well appointed and comfortable. Plenty of room throughout and it was clean. Greg was very responsive and helpful. We really enjoyed the variety of kayaks and water toys (especially the water pad/lilly). The half mile paddle to the crystal blue waters was awesome. The other direction towards the gulf was nice too. We would highly recommend this rental. Thank you for having us!!
Fantastic property right on the river. The family and I had a blast playing board games that we brought at the dining room table, roasting marshmallows in the firepit outside, hanging out on the dock, eating dinner outside, and using the kayaks. The property was spacious - plenty of room for our family of four. Good sized kitchen for cooking. Large master bedroom with en suite bath on the main level. They provided kayaks, a two-person canoe,, paddles, paddleboards, and life jackets.
We spent Memorial Day weekend at the property. Headed to Buccaneer Bay on Saturday (be sure to get there early - once it's full, they usually don't let more cars in) and Pine Island on Sunday (also, get there early - they only let the first 100 or so cars in). Water at Pine Island was nice and shallow and the sand was soft - great for the younger ones to wade around. We had fun hunting for little crabs and fish in the water.
Tips on kayaking in the waterway:
If you take a left from the dock, you can paddle up to Rogers Park and the Upper Deck restaurant. From there, if you keep going, you can paddle upstream into the Weeki Wachee river. Very pleasant paddle and the water is pretty clear - it winds along a lot of cute little cabins and riverfront houses.
We will definitely be back!
This property is perfectly located along the river and was so lovely to spend time admiring the manatees and laying out in the sun. Greg was helpful and provided us with a well equipped stay!
We had a wonderful experience from booking to check out. The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. We will definitely be booking this house again.
The house was great as well as being on the water. Also, the provided canoes and kayaks was a big plus. House was well stocked with all the essentials.
The home is exactly how it is represented and Greg (the Host) is wonderful. The location of the home is on the river which is much more desirable than one of the canals. The neighbors on both sides are full time and very nice people. So no bachelor parties etc. We've stayed at this location twice and we'll be back next year.
The property was well represented. Everyone enjoyed our time here. We saw lots of manatee and snook. Nice casual, low key and diverse atmosphere. Greg was quick to communicate and seems like a very kind person. I’m sure if we had needed anything he would have made it happen. I hope I can come back again with my wife and kids next time.
We used this rental for a family gathering and had a wonderful time. The location was great for the springs and the gulf. We utilized the kyacks, canoe, the fire pit and bbq... we saw a mom and baby manatee and at least 2 dozen dolphins in the gulf. Beds were comfortable.. plenty of towels and pillows.
We would definitely come back.
Incredible stay at this weeki wachee house. We spent the entire weekend outside on the water utilizing the docs and kayaks. The house had everything we could have needed. Cornhole, tables, towels, kayaks, canoe, lilly pad, grill, fishing poles, games. We enjoyed going to Weeki Wachee state park for the day and saw the mermaids, 10 mins drive to state park. Very active waterway, boats and paddle boards constantly going by. Short 10 minute paddle to beach and bar/restaurant upper deck. Owner is very responsive and helpful .
The location is wonderful and the house has everything needed for an amazing stay on the river! Plenty of kayaks and floaties, and an awesome outdoor area with a BBQ grill.
We had the best time. The house was very clean. There were some issues with the air conditioning, the owner responded right away and took care of it. The location was perfect. Definitely would rate as a five star !
This was the perfect place to stay if you love chilling in the sunshine. The manatees made our week -they would guide us down the river . The birds were also spectacular -eagles and wading birds everywhere. Many days spent kayaking and enjoying the patio. The 3 bathrooms were a bonus for sure . Walking distance to the Upper Deck-a very good restaurant with great fish , shrimp and bisque. Everything you need is there -just bring your sunscreen !
Place is in perfect spot on the river and well stocked with kayaks and paddleboards. It feels like a family home. The kids enjoy it every time we stay!
Our family comes down to Weeki Wachee every Christmas time to see the manatee and enjoy the sunshine state and this home allowed us to do just that right from the back deck. We saw so many manatee and just enjoyed our time relaxing on that beautiful and spacious back porch. We even took a short walk over to the upper deck to enjoy a seafood dinner and some drinks.
The owner had some great information set out for us so we could get some cheap firewood and burn in the fire pit each night and also learn about a bunch of local things to do.
Would definitely recommend this place for a family getaway! Kayaking, fishing, dock lounging, grilling, and so much more!!!
This was a great spot! Really close to Rogers Park where we dropped in the boat. The beds were comfortable and clean and the kitchen well-stocked. It was handy having a mini fridge and freezer on the bottom floor so we had had extra room to stock food and drinks when hanging out on the deck. The dock is very new and it was great having the fans going while we were grilling and dining al fresco. Greg was quick to answer questions and called before our stay to walk me through checking in. We ran into an issue on our last night where the AC stopped working and we couldn't get it fixed before we left (it was Friday evening the day after Thanksgiving), but Greg was quick to respond and walk us through troubleshooting what we could.
If you have early risers, bring earplugs as there is a rooster on one side and a peacock on the other.
We had a great time and recommend this place.
Love this place and all it has to offer from a great back yard with a place to dock your boat , float and fish without leaving the house. To nights sitting around the fire ring and barbecuing with great friends. This was our 2nd stay here and enjoyed it even more than the 1st.
Great location on the river just past Rogers Park making it ideal for those looking to be on the river with slightly less traffic so you can enjoy the swim right off the dock, yet just around a couple of bends to the heart of it all! Great home with everything you need for a great stay!
