Great time with my children and grandchildren and our dog Sprout. Watched Manatees from the porch and despite chilly weather all had fun paddling the river
This is our favorite property on the Weeki Wachee. We’ve stayed here multiple times and we’ll come back again. There are plenty of kayaks. We saw manatee and turtles and fish from the floating dock. It’s just lovely.

Kevin was a wonderful host and the house was perfect for our family. It was comfortable, well appointed, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The proximity to the springs made it incredibly convenient for exploring the area, and the outdoor spaces were especially enjoyable. They were peaceful and relaxing, and a great place to unwind after a day on the water. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great place to stay. Lots of room, clean. Responsive owner. Great view of Manatees from the second floor. They to hung out daily in front of the house. Loved Kayaking on the Weeki Watchee river and exploring the surrounding area. This is our 3rd year at this property and best place we have found yet. This part of Florida is still considered old Florida. Charming and relaxing.

This home was perfect for a group slumber party. Private accommodations for 6. Open floor plan is perfect for our group of musicians. Great location; we caught fish, watched manatees feeding on eel grass in this canal and lots of water toys to explore the river. Updating is in the works for upgrading outdoor gathering areas.

Excellent property! We often take mini vacations to the Weeki Wachee river and this is the second time we’ve stayed at this property. The property itself is fabulous. It’s in an excellent location. It’s very nicely furnished and has everything you’re gonna need for your stay. The host is spectacular. This one is a real gem.

Thank you for staying again. I love that so many of my guests keep coming back. And especially thank you for reviewing after a second stay. Almost no guests ever send a review after their first stay.
I hope you feel as though this is your home away from home.

The location was outstanding and the house was clean and cozy with everything we needed, including comfortable beds. There was a great selection of kayaks, all of which seemed to be in good condition. Perhaps the best compliment came from my 13 year-old son (a tough critic), who said he wants to live there! Also, the host, Kevin, simply could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. We definitely hope to return in the future!

The inside of the home was very nice and clean. Accommodations were everything we were looking for. The home was pet friendly and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was excellent and we absolutely loved the fact that the manatee were frequently feeding on the water grasses right off the dock. The host could not have been more wonderful, accommodating and communicative. The yard wasn’t perfect, but there has been a drought in Florida. The only suggestion I have for improvement is rinsing off the kayaks some and cleaning up the yard a little…overall though, I still give this lovely home a 4.9 out of five stars

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. You are 100% right about the yard. The severe draught has required a watering ban in the area and everything has turned brown.
We hope for summer showers so we can go back to irrigating.
Thank you and hope to host your family again in the future.

Loved the spacious kitchen and living room. We put two teenagers downstairs and one upstairs. There was plenty of room and 3 full bathrooms. We used the kayaks, fire pit and grill. Thanks for sharing your place with us, the location was fantastic!

Our recent stay at this property was amazing! The house is very comfortable and so well equipped with all the comforts of home. Kevin was an incredible host- very accommodating and quick to respond with any questions. I highly recommend this property. Our family will definitely be back!
Our family stayed for Labor Day weekend and we had a great time. The house was clean and comfortable! The owner was very personable, polite and responsive!! We will definitely be back!
This property is wonderful. Lots of kayaks and all the necessities. The house is spacious, clean, comfortable, and in a perfect location.
Host is very accommodating, easy to communicate with.
Property was very clean and orderly! The layout is perfect for multiple groups. The upper and bottom patios were lovely to enjoy during morning coffee and dinner drinks. The dock was so much fun. We even had some manatees come welcome us to the home! 5/5 on the stay!
We stayed here to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family and loved it. Having a spacious living room/kitchen and 3 full bathrooms was especially great for family units to have their own space. Kayaks were easy to put in water and Weeki Wachi river / springs was beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped even for my mom to pull off a great thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings. Love that it is a pet friendly property! Kevin was great! We highly recommend it!
When we first arrived the canal was pretty mucky, but it cleared up the next day. We took a kayak ride to the river and it was beautiful. The beds were clean and the house is full of convenient amenities. We stay at Weeki at least once a year, and would be happy to stay here again. Thanks for sharing your riverhouse with us.
This house was great and plenty of room. We had a wonderful time kayaking the river. Nature around us was so awesome to watch. Manatees everywhere, mullet jumping, turtles , ducks, and a lone garbage bandit made an appearance one evening. Weeki Wachee River is truly a beautiful place. Communication with Kevin was easy and fast reply. We will be returning here again.

Nice House inside...
No stairs inside, outside access 3rd bdrm, couple blinds need repair. Yard needs attention, dock repair,overgrown, broken screen door, broken. chair, old sink in yard.
This was my third spring trip to the area for kayaking. By far the best accommodations- spacious and lots of natural light. Separate area downstairs for my two adult sons. Super clean with everything you could need. Excellent system for getting into kayaks. I hesitate to give this place the wonderful review it deserves because I would like for it to be our secret, but I guess that is not fair to the really great host! We saw manatees in our canal most days. We will be back as soon as we can.

About the host
Hosted by Kevin Harris
Retired nature lover. First time to visit Weeki Wachee hooked me. I immediately bought a home , and now have three. All my vacation homes cater to completely different lifestyle needs. One home is in the quiet area with access to Mud River by Mary's Fish Camp. Has a boat ramp and very fast access to fishing and scalloping in the gulf. Another home has access to Weeki Wachee with a heated, salt water pool that is screened in. And the third is a super modern living home with beautiful king master suite and two levels that look over the canal with quick access to the main Weeki Wachee river.
Why they chose this property
Walked into home and knew immediately that this is perfect. The water views, spacious interior, and modern feel
What makes this property unique
Modern living that you would be proud to have as your own home.
