The home was spacious and super clean.Better than the pics!Loved the outdoor space and patio.So many extras like the yard games and firepit.Great place to be outside with your family.(just make sure to bring bug spray for biting flies).The water was not as nice at the end of the canal ,but we still enjoyed taking the kayaks out on the water and seeing manatees and dolphins.You will love this tiny piece of Florida heaven!
Probably need a new can opener, it didn't work whatsoever! Plus one of the plastic chairs were cracked and when sitting down out of the hot-tub it broke all the way, we put it out with the garbage. Everything was wonderful and we had a great time with the kayaks on the water, we saw dolfins, manatees and snakes! Your artwork on the building and walls were an added personal touch! Lovely place and I'll recommend it!

Pamela. I am glad you had a great vacation. Thank you for letting me know about the can opener, I will order one today and replace the chair. Come back and stay with us anytime.
Absolutely Perfect! Our stay at this riverfront VRBO was absolutely perfect. The rooms were spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need—it was set up so thoughtfully.The outside was just as wonderful—the hot tub was fantastic, and we loved spending time around the fire pit and enjoying the games. The location was beautiful and peaceful, making it the ideal getaway.On top of that, the host was amazing and made the whole experience even better. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you for such a wonderful visit!We will be back!

Cindie,
Thank you for your review of our property. We do supply quite a bit of dishes and many different pots & pans. We vacation here several times a year and want all guests to have everything they need. We take pride in the care and amenities we provide both inside and outside of the home. Unfortunately we have no control over any of the neighbors and how they choose to keep their homes. We have bamboo to make the yard very private and its fully fenced. The only time you see any neighbors is when you get on the kayaks and go in the river. Thank you for staying with us!
We enjoyed our stay a beautiful place very clean had all the comforts of home enjoyed the kayaks games outdoor movies with special lighting. Bed where awesome slept very well we had a great time with many parks restaurants and shopping near plus several beaches we had a wonderful stay thank you
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is so well-stocked and thoughtfully equipped. We had 3 teens/tween on the trip, so the kayaks, paddle board, hot tub, outdoor games, and outdoor projector were all a huge hit. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need, and grocery stores and essentials are super close. Each bedroom had really nice oscillating fans to keep things comfy, and the bathrooms were stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, so it was nice not to have to pack those. We had a good experience renting a small boat from the Weeki Wachee Marina one day. Pine Island was also a nice place to take in the sunset. And of course, the seeing the manatees was the absolute best. We will definitely be back!
We really enjoyed our stay here, it’s a beautiful place. John and Mary was really amazing and helpful on any questions we had about the area. Even the neighbors are great people. We loved our stay here and will definitely be coming back.

Nathan you all are welcome back anytime! You took such good care of our place and I am so happy that you had a great time. Our goal is to make you feel at home and treat you the way we want to be treated when we go on vacation. It looks like that was accomplished and we can’t wait to have you back! Thank you for leaving the little extras and the snorkel gear, the guests that came after you were so excited to see the snorkel gear.
Such a charming little get away, I have been vacationing in Weeki Wachee for 4th of July for the last 5 years . This well attended and perfectly remodeled 3/2 on the river met all my families needs! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us, and helping me create such amazing memories
Very comfortable & clean quaint cottage perfect size & new & remodeled! Mary was extremely responsive and pleasant to work with !! Thank you for a great retreat away from these moms real life
We went for as a couple trip and had an awesome time! It was close to the spot to see manatees, great outside amenities. We loved the outside projector and hot tub! Property is just as described would stay here again! I got engaged at this house, it will always hold a special place in my heart
Amazing rental, nothing left undone. Mary your rental was wonderful, clean, and well stocked. Plenty of activities for everyone of all ages. Highly recommend.
The Manatee home was perfectly equipped for my family of 4! Plenty of space, beautiful decor and updates, comfortable beds! We very much enjoyed the clear canoes, paddle board, and thankful there was a full stock of life jackets!
A perfect location & property! Access to the river, manatees nearby! Our family had a wonderful visit. This house had everything! Many admirers of the clear kayaks!
The house was well equipped and nicely decorated. The owner had so many other things to keep us entertained other than kayaking and swimming. Family members had fun playing darts, spikeball. We loved kayaking. Thanks for a fun family vacation.
This house, on a deep water canal was perfect for my husband, 3 kids, and myself. We spent 3 nights here and loved all of the amenities including stocked kitchen, gas grill, kayaks, and outdoor games! During our stay we had a mother manatee and her baby come right up to the dock! I would recommend this property for families with children of all ages. It is conveniently located next to Weeki Wachee Springs State Park and close to grocery stores and restaurants. Communication with the owner was great. We will definitely stay here again!
