Fully equipped, quaint and quiet neighborhood, just as described and pictured with great communication and easy check in and out. Perfect theme and decorations for a Weeki Wachee visit with little ones!
Very clean. Responsive host. Quiet area. Perfect location for what the area has to offer (Pine Island is a must for sunsets, and be sure to check out the local airboat adventures!). We would definitely stay there again!
Our stay was fantastic from start to finish. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. We really felt at home and our two puppies really enjoyed it as well. The bed was super comfy and the bed linens were plentiful. The mermaid theme was really spot on throughout the house. We didn’t have children with us but there was definitely plenty of toys/activities to keep the little ones entertained. The location was perfect and made getting around easy. The host was incredibly communicative and made check-in seamless. We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area! Can’t wait to come back!
Thank you for the amazing vacation! Our 10 year old daughters loved fishing out the back door and all of the great games, we enjoyed the brand new kitchen fully stocked with every cooking utensil possible! We especially loved being able to bring our pups along! Thank you!

We are so happy you and your family enjoyed our home! Look forward to having you back anytime!! 🧜♀️
Home was clean and well appointed. There is one large king bed with a firm mattress, one queen under a single bunk. Queen is semi soft. Home is on the water but access is just over the retaining wall. Not sure you’d want to try it. We decided to just rent canoes at the upper deck rental shack just up the road. Saw manatees yippee! Check in was easy. Home had plenty of towels and toilet paper. Plenty of pans, a nice fridge for snacks and waters. Home is at the end of a quiet residential area where no random kayakers come which is nice. One manatee actually wandered down our canal! We saw lots of mullet in the canal which our son was obsessed with trying to catch lol.
