Fantastic & responsive host. The home layout was perfect for two families w/ kiddos in the bunk room. Also loved sunsets on the floating dock & plenty of kayaks for everybody. Recommended & would happily stay again.

We had a REALLY incredible weekend!

We had a REALLY incredible weekend! The house is in a nice location. Great wildlife viewing. We had a mama manatee with her calf hanging out right by our dock. Kayaks were easy to pull into the water. It was nice and quiet on the canal at night. Kitchen had everything we needed; every kind of pot, pan, cooking utensils, etc. The decor was very much weeki-wachee themed. I could tell they put their heart and soul into it all. We were NOT ready to leave but will hopefully be back soon. (:

My family and I had a lovely time at this property. From sun up to sun down kayaking and paddle boarding was completely accessible right out the back door! Everything was provided for this activity even though we brought our own equipment. The remodel on the property was casely done and the accommodations were more than adequate for us and three children. There was a whole bedroom we didn't even use during our stay. Our hosts were very considerate and very helpful.

The house was great. Nice fenced in area for our dog. We enjoyed relaxing in the screened in porch over looking the water. Nice selection of kayaks for us to use. The house and rooms were bigger than expected and we had plenty of room to spread out. Host communication was great and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again bring your pet have a great time swim in the canal cool off. Oh one more thing lots of manatee sightings this time around.

This was a special trip for my 13 year old daughter her two friends and their mom. We wanted a whimsical trip to see mermaids and bathe in crystal clear waters. We got so much more! The hosts were amazing and the canal we stayed on ended up having so many other kids who all got together at some point in the day to swim, boat, kayak and use the water scooters. As such I would highly recommend renting a water scooter for your kiddo they will have a blast using it! The house was so clean and inviting with all the essentials to cook and you never have to leave until you have to leave. SO SO many great memories made for these kiddos and the adults. We cannot wait to go back.
