Waterfront Front Row Seats to Nature’s Best Show

Imagine sipping coffee on the dock when a manatee glides up like it’s auditioning for the role of “Cutest Neighbor Ever.” It happens here. Often. Whatever you do, do not read the reviews to find out if we're telling the truth and what other amazing animals like to show up at our dock ;)

And if you don’t want wildlife sightings right off the backyard, this probably isn’t for you. But if you do… our kayaks are waiting, the yard is massive, and the fire pit is practically begging for marshmallows.

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.

---

Ready to Make Memories?

This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s an experience.Whether you’re paddling, fishing, swimming, or just soaking up the Florida sunshine, this place is all about slowing down and soaking in the good stuff.

We’d love to host you—reach out with any questions!

An amazing stay on the river. Home was clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The river is beautiful, plenty of kayaks and highly recommend doing a scalloping tour if you have never done it. Saw manatees and even a dolphin right off the dock. Overall an awesome experience!

Easy access to water fun

We came done to Florida to visit with family, and also enjoy the Weeki Wachee - one of our favorite places. The house is back off the river and has easy access. The entry to the river is central enough to either go up to state park or down to Rodger’s park.
