Kinda like paradise

A beautiful location right on the water with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the gorgeous view. The room was cozy and clean. Highlight was the kayaks freely available for exploring the river and seeing manatees close up!

Serene spot

We will absolutely be coming back again. We love camping, but May in Florida means it’s too hot to sleep outside for us. Having a clean air conditioning room to sleep in, be comfortable bed and a cute little kitchen was so nice after spending the day kayaking,on the Weeki Wachee river. There is a couple with a small boy living on site and they were so friendly. During our stay, one of the kitchenchairs lost a screw and they helped me fix this in no time.
