Amazing!

The location is incredible. You can sit on the patio and watch all the kayaks and boats go by. We took the kayaks out and saw manatees. We would even see manatees pass by the house while overlooking from above. The house is just beautiful. The beds were lovely. The kitchen is well stocked with spices. It was beautifully decorated and was very beachy which we loved.Communication was great, even when I asked if they had a coffee machine she returned my text quickly which was nice.I loved it and so did the other guests. I would definitely rent again.

a beautiful house with a well stocked kitchen

My grandson wanted to move in the house is so beautiful and well decorated. Being on the river was very relaxing and convenient. We took the kayaks out every day and enjoyed paddling on the river and looking for manatees. My grandson even saw some otters. The house is near the kayak rental so I enjoyed people watching; noise was not an issue for us and I liked the activity, which is limited to about 9 am to about 6 pm and after that it is complete silence. We liked being able to walk to the restaurant which is about 3 houses down. I'm very glad we chose this spot in Florida for the week. Better than the beach.

Great vacation

We have stayed at a lot of properties before, but this house surpasses them all. Its location is fantastic. The house was immaculate, there is nothing that you would ever need. We would have coffee in the morning on the upper deck and watch the manatees swimming down the river. They supplied the kayaks, which was a great deal of fun.

A Perfect Waterfront Getaway with Wildlife and Local Charm

This was our second time staying at this lovely VRBO in Weeki Wachee, and it was just as perfect as the first! The house was spotless, well-maintained, and ideal for a couple. Most of our time was spent on the upstairs patio, which offers the best view of the water. We were lucky enough to spot manatees regularly and even caught a glimpse of the famous dolphins of the river!Our visit was at the beginning of April, and despite the warm weather with highs in the 90s, the wildlife sightings were plentiful. The weekends are lively with great people-watching, while the weekdays offer a serene and peaceful retreat.We also took advantage of exploring the area. The Nature Coast Botanical Gardens was a delightful (and free!) escape, tucked away in a charming neighborhood. Another highlight was our trip to the Aripeka Stone Crab Company. The drive through the low country of Florida to this old-fashioned fishing village is stunning, and the experience was well worth it. We tried the smoked salmon and fish spread. Both AMAZING!We can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty and unique charm of Weeki Wachee.

Great place right on the Weeki Wachee river

We had an unforgettable stay at this gorgeous home right on the Weeki Wachee River! Tonya and Toby are fabulous hosts. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the property. The house is spacious, impeccably decorated, and has all the comforts of home. The large windows offer stunning views of the river, and the outdoor deck is perfect for relaxing while watching boats and kayakers glide by.One of the highlights of our trip was the kayaking! The river is calm and crystal clear, making it the perfect spot for paddling. We enjoyed hours on the water, exploring the beautiful surroundings and even spotting a few manatees. The house also provides kayaks, which made everything so convenient and fun.Inside, the home is thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well-stocked with all the essentials, and the living spaces are cozy and inviting. This rental truly offers the best of both worlds – a beautiful home with incredible riverfront views and easy access to outdoor activities. We highly recommend it and can’t wait to return!

Perfect stay

As soon as we waked in we said, "We're booking this again." As a tourism marketer, a life-long Floridian, and someone who've been staying in private accommodations for over 20 years all over the country, I can tell you this is an exceptional stay, an exceptional property in an exceptional location. It's a beautiful house that celebrates Florida, located on a crystal clear river running from Weeki Wachee Springs. The house is perfectly outfitted with everything you'll need (and a bit more). And the hosts couldn't have been more accommodating. The location is perfect, and the house, both upstairs and downstairs, is extremely relaxing. Plenty of entertainment as first-time kayakers and boaters pass by. Even though you're out in the country, there's plenty of good restaurants nearby (and a store or two if you forgot anything). Evenings are completely quiet. And a trip of the crystal clear river won't be forgotten. We brought a small, motorized inflatable and went up to the springs and out to the Gulf, but you can rent a boat near by. Kayaks are on property. We also brought our off-road bikes and went through the nearby Weeki Wachee Preserve. Overall one, terrific stay that combines alot of fun and games with complete relaxation.
