About this property

WATERFRONT DEAL! Boat Dock/Ramp•Kayaks•SUP•Easy Gulf•Fish•Manatees, Dog friendly

Bring your dog, yard is fenced and no pet fee. Kayaks and stand up paddle boards included along with paddles and life jackets.
Modern home, fully equipped. Boat ramp and dock, perfect for boaters. Can launch jet skis and small boats at house, and very close to Bayport ramp for larger boats. Deep canal and dock is great for most size boats. Perfect location for boaters wanting to go scalloping or fishing in the gulf. Located in a quiet wooded setting of full time residents on dead end street. Modern kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances. Fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes and silverware. Bathrooms stocked with soaps and shampoos and towels. Each bedroom and living areas with own smart television. Master bedroom has attached full bathroom with standup shower. Home has kayaks and paddle boards for paddling with the manatees. The local paddling is amazing with a private swimming hole and easy paddling to Rogers Park Beach. World-class fishing and scalloping. This home has fantastic boat access to the gulf. Home is in area with large, wooded lots that is more secluded and higher end than other areas of Weeki Wachee. This is less congested and lacks the trailers of the other areas. I have other Weeki Wachee properties that might be ideal for your stay if this one is unavailable for your desired time.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

House smelled like fish most of our stay. Home was very clean inside, but mostly outdated furniture. Back patio and yard have not been cleaned in awhile. Lots of crunchy leaves and pollen. Some dog poop still present. Neighbors stated previous occupants had three full size dogs. Listing states two small dogs. There are like seven kayaks. Only three in any shape to use. Property needs some TLC. Location and area are awesome. Owner was great. Not sure if we'd stay at this property again. Location, YES!

Thank you so much for your feedback. I was aware too late that I allowed early access to the home when only the interior crew had finished. I thought the outdoor crew had also finished. I have my kayak supplier following up on your kayak concerns There should be 7 kayaks and two paddle boards and all adult sized and in proper safe condition. I am personally following up on this immediately. Thank you again, Keign

We had an amazing time making great memories. Canal slightly murky but that didn’t not stop any of the six kids from getting in and enjoying! We rented to John boats and went to the springs and made it an all day affair other than that we never left the house except for groceries. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Harris

Host profile image
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 Weeki Wachee river.

Why they chose this property

Much easier access to gulf for fishing and scalloping than homes directly on the Weeki Wachee River. Idle zone is only past the homes then safe speed can be utilized all the way to gulf.

What makes this property unique

Very nice dock for your boat. Ramp is perfect for smaller craft, but recommend high tide for launch. Super close to Bayport ramp as well as Pine Island Beach. Exceptionally quiet area that is very wooded and mature. A real ground level home for easy accessibility.
