About this property

Mermaids, Manatees, Kayaking, Swimming in the Spring Waters of the Weeki Wachee

Sirens' Cove Vacation, is a Mermaid Hide-a-way on the upper Weeki Wachee River where the waters are crystal clear. Located half-way between the Weeki Wachee State Park and Rogers Park, it is an ideal location to enjoy the river for a romantic get-a-way or family vacation. We welcome small, quiet gatherings but we Do Not allow large parties. The central living space has a large kitchen island to accommodate cooking and family gatherings. The home features beautiful bamboo flooring, new couches, big screen T.V., a contemporary kitchen, with spacious countertops. Outside the sliding glass doors, there is a large paved patio and seating and charcoal grills. Follow the brick path to the extra large deck and crystal clear, Weeki Wachee River. Easy access with steps leading to the river, you can wade into the river, for swimming or launching a boat. Because you are on private property, you can swim and wade in the river off of the deck. There is plenty of deck seating for the entire family, an extra large fire pit, hot tub, swinging chairs and an outdoor bathroom, the “Bali Bathroom" for your convenience. There are between five to seven kayaks, including a tandem inflatable kayak along with numerous inflatable floats, and toys available at any given time.
Please note: the house sleeps eight; two private bedrooms with queen beds, and two fold-out queen sofa beds, one sofa bed in the main room and the second sofa bed in the "Florida Room". Please note; The Florida Room is separate of the Main House. It has big windows with screens and ceiling fans and a stand alone air conditioner. The Florida room is “glamour camping” and you can sleep in nature, with hoot owls and frogs peeping at night and birds singing in the morning or close the windows and enjoy the rom AC. Teenagers and kids will love having their own "Glamping" space with a full sink, table & chairs, musical instruments, games and toys for tots.
This is the real Florida, humid and sub-tropical, surrounded by springs, scrub preserve, birds, bugs and wildlife. It is a kayakers paradise. Between 5 to 7 kayaks are included! Enjoy this retreat on the crystal clear spring waters which maintains a cool 72 degrees year around. “The Nature Coast” awaits with Mermaids, Manatees, Swimming, Snorkeling, Sun-Bathing, Birding, Fishing, Kayaking, Paddle-boarding & more. I reccommend for you to bring your own firewood, bug spray and sunscreen. Don't forget to your Mask, Fins, Snorkel, Mermaid Tail and Clam Bra. Please note we do have exterior cameras on the property for our security and yours but would never intentionally invade your privacy.

This was a weekend filled with wonder for my family and especially my two Grand Children. We saw deer when we opened the front door and we swam with a Mama manatee and her baby. The house is very welcoming and warm and filled with beautiful art and clean as can be. I am an artist so walking into the house I knew the owner was a kindred spirit. The house is fully equipped with everything you need from kayaks and floats to a very well equipped kitchen..the house is like a family oriented art gallery. I will be back. This vacation was balm to my soul and renewed my artist spirit. It was a great easy checked and the owner always answered quickly when you call or text.

This was our sixth year staying at Siren’s Cove and it just gets better every year! We call it Christmas on the river! The house and property are beautifully kept and Susan is always available if needed. From early morning coffee to evening cocktails on the river, the view is just beautiful. The kitchen is large enough to cook together and gather. Highly recommended!

The house is a 10 out of 10 for location on the Weeki Wachee River. The water is clear and beautiful. We saw manatees off the dock multiple times. The floats at the house were really nice to have. We brought our own paddle boards, but there was kayaks although the life vests weren’t the greatest so I was glad we had our own.The house is well stocked and was very clean. I am only giving it four stars because the furniture is definitely older and the beds were very uncomfortable. We didn’t sleep well at all. The host definitely described the Florida room in the description, but the smell in there made it unusable for us. The outdoor bathroom was also not really usable for us so it’s more like a one bathroom house.Susan was great as we had an air-conditioning issue on the first night and she had someone out there to fix it right away. She offered us early check-in, even though we didn’t need to use it. Her communication was excellent.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Gott

Host profile image
Welcome to my little piece of paradise on the Weekie Wachee River. It’s my weekend getaway and sanctuary. I only rented to friends at first, and word of mouth. It needed work when I bought the house but I knew it was special. After over a year of stabilizing the foundation, renovations, landscaping and remodeling, inside and out, I can finally say the house is done. Vacation rental ready; 2 private bedrooms, two baths, the outdoor 'Florida Room' with queen futon and living room pull-out sofa; sleeps eight. Many upgrades, including professional kitchen, WiFi, Flat screen on Spectrum, bamboo flooring, original art, kayak rack, pavers, shade sail. Spring of 2020 upgrades include deck replacement, an outdoor "Bali Bamboo Bathroom" and new cabinets and countertop in the Florida Room.

Why they chose this property

This is just one of the most special places on the planet, or at least Florida. There is something magical and sacred about the Weeki Wachee river. I have traveled extensively, but this little spring fed river holds a magic all of its own. You just have to dive into its crystal clear waters to understand. I have found my own little fountain of youth.

What makes this property unique

The property is surrounded by wildlife; deer, otter, turtles, manatee, even a small population of bear, but I have never seen one. Bird-watching, is awesome, hummingbirds, wild turkey, hawks, eagles, kites, migratory song birds, water birds will be seen on any given day. Enjoy the day just sitting on the deck and watching folks float down the river can take up your entire afternoon. And the best part, My neighbors are former mermaids. Yep, they really are and if you are lucky you might just get to meet them.
