“We had a wonderful stay at the Fin and Tonic! The location was perfect—just a short paddle to Rogers Park, the beach, and waterfront dining. The house was spotless when we arrived, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We loved the variety of kayaks and paddleboards available, including a tandem. The floating dock made launching and boarding a breeze. The host was extremely responsive and provided great local recommendations and updates on area happenings.”

Weekend trip family of four

My family and I stayed for 3 nights and It was our first time visiting Weeki wachee Springs.The property was exactly as described and hosts were easy to get in contact with. Property was very close to the local marina and also have to add, that the property is a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures. Definitely a vacation home that we look forward to staying at again in the near future.

Deron was extremely welcoming!! It was easy to communicate with him and he responds right away. The house was perfect! Lots of parking space. We had everything we needed. Coffee and water bottles were waiting for us. Everything was super clean and smelled good! Smell is important for me! There were a lot of water toys and nice backyard furniture. We saw 3 dolphins, crabs and fish right from the dock and 4 manatees at Hospital Hole, a short kayak from the house. We also enjoyed The Mermaid show a short drive away. Grocery stores, shopping and Tesla charger were all close by. Even a well stocked Asian grocery store!We will definitely come back to make more memories!
