About this property

Manatee time! Waterfront Home, floating dock, kayaks, paddle boards, gulf access

Time to book for January and February manatee trips! Fishing, kayaking, paddle boards, golf, walks in the warm sun, boating, swimming in the springs (constant 72-74 degree water). Don't miss the manatees! Also a great time of year to hit the area amusement parks as it is not "summer hot" or as busy.

Views, sunsets, water, shore birds, manatees, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, without leaving the house. This is the place to stay and explore Florida's amazing central gulf coast. Located on the beautiful salt water canals of Hernando Beach (30' deep, clean water, more like a lake), you can watch dolphins and catch fish right from our dock, kayak the canals or take a short paddle to the gulf. Swim right in front of the house or go to the nearby spring fed Weeki Wachi River, or snorkel with the manatees during the winter in nearby Crystal River or the Weeki Wachi. Soak in our hot tub when you are ready to relax!

Enjoy a scalloping trip, fishing excursion, kayaking adventure (in the gulf or the local rivers), a dinner cruise, or just relaxing and soaking up the warmth and sun of Florida! We are less than 2 hours away from Disney, Busch Gardens, Legoland and less than 1 hour from Homossassa Springs, Crystal River, Cedar Key, alligator tours, and great golfing. The Weeki Wachee Springs is just next door, including the water park and world famous live mermaid show.

We have a large private dock for lounging or parking your boat (or a rental from the local marina). The local area is a great for fishing, exploring, swimming, and even just hanging out at the Hernando Flats! There are lots of local fishing and wildlife boat charters available and terrific local restaurants. Even the much loved local "Tiki Boat" that will take you out for an afternoon of swimming and relaxing at the flats.

This property is being rented for the first time ever in 2024 so we are offering discounted rates, but top notch service and experiences!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
