The hosts are awesome. The house has everything you could possibly need including coffee and anything you might have forgotten. So terrific to use their kayaks right from the dock. Thanks for making it a six star stay for us.
Five stars all the way! This quant house has literally everything and then some. Every room has a tv even the screened patio has a tv. Kayaks and SUP’s. Tons or them! Bicycles? Check…. The kitchen is fully stocked toaster oven, air fryer, margarita maker, electric flat top. The inside is great everything is brand new. The outside is even better. Huge deck screened in area. Grill. Firepit. We saw tons of manatees swimming by. The sunset it neat as it sinks down the other end of the canal. One left turn and you’re kayaking on the main river. Long story short, We can’t wait to return. And the host are great too they had little special touches waiting for us. Awesome.
Our stay was amazing! We were a little concerned with staying on the water with an adventurous toddler but the extra lock on the back door helped us feel safe and comfortable. Our hosts were amazing, great attention to detail and easy to communicate if we were in need of anything, for example, where to buy bait. Honestly, the property had everything even a child booster seat and toys. Loved it! We will come back.
Trish & Brock were amazing hosts, and helped accommodate our needs to make a very pleasant stay. Their home was very clean! And there were so many extra items available to make us feel at home. They definitely go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, and then some!! We enjoyed coffee and breakfast every morning by the dock, and saw manatees! My husband enjoyed kayaking to Hospital Hole, which he said was a very easy paddle. The outdoor shower was so refreshing! We didn't utilize the bikes, but there were even bikes available for us. We lucked out with perfect Florida weather, and we are looking forward to visiting again!
Our stay was pleasant. The house looks just in the photos, very comfortable and conveniently equipped with kayaks and a canoe to reach the spring. It's a great place to relax. Highly recommended, we hope to return soon.
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The house is clean and nicely stocked with things such as spices, salt, pepper, dishwasher soap, etc to get you started. The are and neighborhoood are absolutely beautiful. We love renting from Tyson !!
This was a very clean and well-furnished home. The third bedroom was small but will accommodate one adult well. We loved the outdoor space and the dock was great for our boat. Kitchen contained all needed supplies for making meals and the grill was great! The canal is convenient to the river but you will need to watch the tides if you have a larger boat. We also enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboards provided. Great stay!
This property was exactly what my family needed! We had plenty of room on the dock for our boat and jet skis. The beds were very comfortable and the laces was fully stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely be coming back!
Beautiful well kept bungalow. Anyything you need throughout and for your outdoor entertainment . Blessed to see so much wildlife right outside our door, and much more in kayaks. Hosts are absolutely the best!
We were in the area for a family wedding and enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfy, everything was very clean, and we had everything we needed. Check in was easy. Love the location and access to the river.
We had a great stay. No time to play, but plenty water gear to use. Enjoyed evenings on the canal watching dusk and mornings dawn. Next time more time for play.Well outfitted kitche! Nice remodel.
We have stayed here several other times and have never been disappointed. It’s always clean and the beds very comfortable. Tyson responds immediately when we have questions and the location is perfect. We would definitely book again in the future.
I loved being outside on the patio area. We had dinner outside, we relaxed in the screened in area and enjoyed a fire one night. We even saw manatees swimming in the canal!
Property exceedingly surpassed our expectations. Spent majority of our time outdoors. Great access to main river and lots of manatees right from the deck in back of property.
Very nice house on the water just off the Main Weeki Wachee river. If you love kayaking, scuba or snorkeling, and Manatees, you'll love this house. At night you can sit on the deck and enjoy the firepit as well.
Hello! Brock and I are avid travelers. We love exploring the world with our children and feel so blessed to be able to do this with them. We use VRBO and other rental platforms whenever possible because when you have 2 growing boys, a hotel room just isn't going to cut it. Having said that, we know firsthand what it's like to be hosted and would love to provide a safe and memorable getaway for all of our guests. We hope to host you at Wet Feet Retreat in the future!
