The Captain's Quarters was a great location at the intersection of two canals and very close to the beautiful Weeki Wachee River. We loved sitting on the porch watching birds fly by and fish jump in the river, paddling with the provided kayaks, and taking day trips to Tarpon Springs, Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, and nearby Pine Island Park to swim and watch the sunset. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. A great place for a family vacation!

Great spot on the inlet to the river. We had so much fun! We got tons of use out of the kayaks! The house is set up great and we enjoyed cooking breakfast and eating outside overlooking the water. What a great experience- we will stay here again if we get the opportunity.

Weeki Wachee getaway

Property was in very quiet neighborhood located on canal just houses from the main river. The sandbar at the end of the canal is a local hotspot. We loved seeing the manatees right off the dock as well as when we kayaked up and down the river along with all the rest of the wildlife and gorgeous atmosphere- stuff you just can't enjoy living in the city. I would definitely love to go back another time.

My family traveled here from Louisiana it was our first time visiting Weeki Wachee. I honestly did not know what to expect with the rental but it was very nice. Bigger than the pictures make it appear. I was very happy with the place.

IF YOU LIKE GETTING RIPPED OFF!

The sliding doors to the porch don’t LOCK! The screened porch has more holes than SWISS CHEESE! The deck has VERY rough wood, you need heavy duty shoes to walk on it. Rent this place if you enjoy all those ECTRAS

– Pirate Paradise on the River!We just checked out of Captain’s Quarters at Pirate’s Cove, and what an awesome trip! The hist was very kind and very responsive. It was me and my two sons (17 and 20), and we had an absolute blast. The location is perfect—right on the canal with kayaks ready to go. We hit the water every day and even had manatees come right up to the dock! Total bucket-list moment.The house itself is super fun and decked out in pirate and ship-themed decor—it really adds to the experience. The back patio was our go-to chill zone after a day of paddling (bug spray highly recommended in the evenings!).Pro tip for future guests: when you head out of the canal on your kayak, hang a left once you hit the river. That takes you upstream, where the water is crystal clear and there are lots of great spots to pull off and swim. If you go right, it's deeper and the water gets a bit murkier—more like the canal.Only thing we missed was having a second TV. There’s just one in the living room, so at night my sons would’ve loved being able to relax in their rooms with something to watch. But honestly, we were so worn out from the day's adventures, it didn’t ruin a thing.Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a fun, laid-back getaway on the water. We’d totally stay here again!

Family trip

We loved the location and the direct access to the water. The kayaks and the canoe were definitely an incentive to choose this rental. We rented the second story which was plenty of room for five people, and more than enough room for just us three. You can rent both the first and second floors. There is a fire pit and a dock. There is a pool table in the shared downstairs game room. We loved the upper deck area. Having paper towels and toilet paper and dish soap and hand soap provided was a blessing. You have multiple options for food and shopping with Spring Hill so close by. Camp Mary provides onshore fishing. We just enjoyed the time together. It was a quiet, private neighborhood for our visit. My personal take is go when it is not mosquito season. If any critique-the couch could be more comfy; however, it was fine for us. The rooms were tastefully decorated and the beds were comfy. The air conditioning worked great. I loved the layout. Our son loved his room. The pirate ship bed is an awesome selling point with kids. Thanks so much for sharing this place with us and for making it such a great family time with all the personal touches!

Captain’s Dump!!!!!

Keypad on door lock, hardly works. Numbers don’t function correctly. Tried code 3 times and got locked out. Finally got it to work after 1 person held the knob and 1 entered code. It needs to be replaced. Photographer was magnificent at disguising how poor this rental is. The living /dining furniture look like frat house furniture. Fabric on Victoria couch was torn and has exposed padding. Brown “leather couch” cushions were discolored, worn out and sagging as well matching chair and foot rest. Kitchen table missing veneer strips and table top is rippled in many places. Many holes in screen around deck porch. Screen is ripped at door handle about the length of the handle. Deck railing and floor is rotting and in need of repairs. Missing pieces on both. Single bathroom looked dirty because of mismatched paint job. The faucet almost came off in my hand while trying to see it work. The commode is like a child’s commode , not only small but very low to the ground and probably from the 70’s. The floor in the house is sagging as my suitcase rolled from the living room down the hallway as soon as I let go of the handle. The barrel chair’s cushion is also ripped and showing padding. One blind in the pirate ship room, had 2 sections cut out of it. Maybe 3 positive things to say- kitchen was clean, pirate ship bedroom was clean. Master bedroom was clean. We turned around and left. We did NOT stay. Maybe owner can make improvements with the money I paid for 2 nights. If you are in college or just graduated, then you will not mind staying here. Adults , making their own way , with children——run,run,run. Just sad we did not get to enjoy the river and “free kayaks, canoe “ provided by owner. Did not contact owner when we checked in because It was too late for refund and I would not have been nice to talk with. It could have been steam cleaned, but due to the other neglected things, it felt real dirty, griming and dingy.

Great place

Place & location was great for us. Manatees & turtles were the highlight 💜. However the three man canoe is not… Loved the place … would have loved it more if we could have actually used the canoe. 2 adults with canoe experience could not ( waaaay to little … ) Still would highly recommend the stay … just dont count on the canoe ( same size as the plastic kayaks )

We absolutely loved it. Comfortable clean space and such a quick paddle to the main river. Our favorite part was the dock just steps from the home. We saw manatees, turtles and fish. It was wonderful having access to the kayaks and paddle boards, we really appreciated that! We made wonderful memories here! Would go back in a heartbeat!
