Great rental

My family and I had an amazing stay for our spring break. The location is great. Five minutes down the road from the Weeki Wachee state park. We kayaked from the house to the spring and it was just amazing. We also put in at the state park and kayaked back to the house. Our kids loved playing in the canal. Over all a great stay!

We had a wonderful family vacation. The child kayaks were so much fun for our little kids. We love the outdoor space and dock. We made great memories. The house was very comfortable and I could tell the owners were organized and put lots of care and attention to making our stay great. Thank you!

Amazing Place

This home was absolutely perfect! If I could give 10 stars, I would! Plenty of room and so clean! We really enjoyed the outside screened in porch, which was perfect for a game with the kids around the table or just reading on the porch swing! It had everything we needed and some and the hosts were more than amazing!!

Great space

We enjoyed our stay at the mermaid retreat. The common areas are spacious and cozy. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and we very much enjoyed the kayaks, lanai and dock. Just a short paddle away from the river where we could paddle up towards the state park. Saw several manatees on our journey. The neighbors are friendly and quiet. Very peaceful overall.

Loved this house!

Thank you coming for sharing your beautiful home with us gorgeous the c weekend. We had a relaxing time there over the New Year weekend. House was clean and furniture in excellent condition with practically everything you need on hand which is hard to find. Plenty of kayaks to use for the entire family. Owners were in contact often with us both before, during, and after our stay to make sure all was good. Will stay here in the future for sure!

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every minute of our visit. The location was perfect and quite. Plenty of room for our party of 6. The home had everything that you need and some extras. We were able to get to the main river within minutes. We would definitely rebook if we decide to visit the springs again. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us. The Evans

Manatees and more

We were looking for location and kayaks to provide a relaxing getaway with family. The house met our needs perfectly. We kayaked several times up and down the River and were rewarded encounters with manatee mammas and babies, turtles and bird life. The owners left an amazing welcome “snack” in the refrigerator that we worked on for several days. We hated to see our visit end.

Beautiful house in a beautiful spot

Our family of 5 spent 5 nights here and we all enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well stocked. The property was well maintained and had beautiful plants. We absolutely loved the screened in patio in the back. We used 5 of the provided kayaks and paddled down to the main river everyday several times. We saw multiple manatees everyday but one and one morning we saw 4 right off the dock of the house. The Weeki Wachee river is absolutely beautiful and we loved exploring it. We plan to visit again.

Perfect location on the Weeki Wachee

Beautiful home with lots of amenities. They had everything you would need in the kitchen already. Even down to the salt and pepper. Tons of towels, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, everything you can think of. This is a huge help when traveling with the family. easy communication with the owners. Check in process was all electronic. I highly recommend this place.
