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!

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!

The house is super cute & clean. Nicely supplied kitchen. There's even a crock pot. Everything you need to cook a nice meal. Plenty of grill supplies too. The back yard is wonderful! Great fun for friends & family with the provided outdoor games. Good supply of kayaks, paddle board & one clear kayak. 4 person hot tub was clean & nice in the evenings once it cooled down. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is because of the quality of the water. I completely understand that hosts have no control over that, but during our stay the water was murky. We couldn't find any clear water. It looked like every other river I've ever been on. We did arrive right after Memorial Day so boat traffic plus rain runoff may have played a part. No where we explored would I consider the water swimmable. Yes, people were swimming at Roger's Park. Could you see if a gator was under the water? Nope! You could only see the manatee near the surface. However, we did see many manatee & even had 3 visit us in our canal at our dock. A momma with her baby plus another. They stayed a few hours. It was great. I also highly recommend Weeki Watchee State Park & Mermaid Show. The water there was heavenly.

Summer, thank you for the detailed review. As we discussed the further you go up river the clearer the water gets. We visit this river all the time. As you told me you went towards hospital hole and Rogers Park, which is closer to the Gulf side, sometimes the water can be murky absolutely sometimes it can be clear in that area.. If you would’ve went up river towards the springs, the water is crystal clear. We have lots of pictures and the pictures in the listing are very accurate about what the water looks like. You just had to go up river. But I’m glad you enjoyed the house. Thank you for staying with us.
