The best thing about this area is the deck/dock area . come watch manatees play, or enjoy the kayaks and be right along side of them. Location, location, location. you can see the main river from the dock that is how close you are. great canal a short paddle to hospital hole. short boat ride to the gulf, come enjoy scallop season. This is the place to enjoy nature at its finest on the beautiful Weeki Wachee river.

The house was clean, everything was organized, everything worked perfectly. The kayaks were all in good condition and provided us with incredible moments on the river!Our mini vacation was wonderful, we loved everything!
We had the best time! The house was great! Communication was amazing! Any time a text they got back with me super face! There were dolphins and manatees at the back porch. We were there for 7 days. Enjoyed every minute of it! And the neighbor did an amazing firework show for the 4th!
This was our fourth stay here and always a great time. This time we seen otters, dolphins and manatees all from the dock. The recent upgrades made this stay even better than before. We plan to stay again next year!
Other than the house and decking being a bit slanted in many directions, this property had EVERYTHING we needed for two nights for a holiday weekend with friends!!! We couldn't have asked for more!

House was terrible location was great
House was so musty moldy smelling that we had to leave windows open and couldn't run ac, house was super clean but so crooked and slanted you coulsnt set stuff on counters location was great
My husband and I stayed here with our 2 teenage kids and we had the best time! We used the kayaks each day and saw tons of manatees, we even had a mother and baby dolphins follow a boat through our canal one morning! Great location and house had all the basics!
Cute little spot right on the river. Hospital Hole right as you enter main river. Saw lots of manatees. House was clean and had everything we needed. Check in/out was one of the easiest I’ve had. Will definitely book again! Thank you!
I enjoyed the new living room furniture and new kayak rack since my stay last year. I couldn't remember but the floors looked new too. Fantastic location, dog friendly and very accommodating. Thank you for a peaceful mini vacation.
If you're looking for a quiet spot to relax by the water this is it!! The house was clean and comfortable but we spent most of our time outside chilling/grilling by the water. We had a great day kayaking and swimming and my son loved laying on the floating mat after! Highly recommend for a simple, peaceful getaway!
A cozy house with everything you need to have a pleasant stay with your family. Everything is very clean, with comfortable beds and all the utensils you may need in the kitchen, it is located in a good place. In general, I would return as soon as I have free time to spend other fantastic days.
We had an absolute blast on the river! We appreciated the kayaks and the cleanliness of the house. The hosts communication was great! We will definitely be back.
The house is located so close to the Weeki Wachee River you can see it from the deck!!!
We really loved our stay there!
My grandson enjoyed fishing from the deck.
We kayaked with dolphins and the baby played with the strings on the front of our kayaks!!!
We also had a Momma and baby manatees come up to the deck!!
It’s truly the best place and we really enjoyed it!!
The house was very clean it had everything we needed..loved having all the clean towels..and the my grandchildren loved the float..this was the best location we have stayed in at weekie wachee..you will see alot of manatees from this dock..thank you for sharing your home with us..we will return again..
I would love to give this little place a 5 star all around rating and there was only one reason I didn’t give it that. In the pro column: First, you have a front row seat to all the water life passing by (right out the back door) dolphins, manatee, fish, snakes, etc. This place is quiet and peaceful with a shady dock area - loads of kayaks to choose from, paddles and life jackets as well. It has a well appointed kitchen and loads of towels for the bathroom and very comfortable beds. They supplied some paper products and cleaning products. I was raised poor (but didn’t know it). We camped in tents for our summer vacations and slept on the ground - and loved it. The reason for the less than 5 star review is the smell inside the house. It is an old house and it smells like mold or mildew - something akin to a musty hamper or your teenagers room after they have been practicing two a days all summer and leaving their dirty sweaty work out clothes in a heap on their floor. I will give them credit, they had dehumidifiers in multiple places throughout the house (so I am not the first to notice), but other than the smell, the house was spotlessly clean. I say all of that so others can be aware, and not surprised when they arrive. I read the prior reviews and some had mentioned the smell so I was aware .. I also weighed the location and other household amenities - it was worth the risk to me due to the location alone. Would I stay here again - You Betcha!
The house was great and the location was awesome. Had a camping feel and we didn't have to fight a tent. Saw lots of manatee! Will definitely come back!

Great location!
We enjoyed our stay here. Would have loved more feedback upon checking in regarding all the amenities, which turned out to be abundant. Host was not quick to respond on whether or not there was a grill, coffee maker or functioning fire pit.
We had an amazing stay at this location. All items we needed were easily accessible and there for our use. We were right on the water in a spot where we caught fish, saw multiple manatees each day and a short paddle from the main river. Resturants and grocery stores close by. Just overall wonderful place to stay and we are already looking at dates for our next visit.

Location is nice house needs a lot of work. For the price it wasn’t bad. We definitely had a blast kayaking almost all day. Hopefully it gets some renovations.
