This is the absolute cutest getaway on the Weeki Wachee! The location was perfect, super close to Rogers Park and Upper Deck. The place was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and honestly, I can’t think of a single thing I would change. We were only there for two days, but I wish I had booked a longer stay! We absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay on the Weeki!

We had a wonderful time here! We love that it's pet friendly, very clean and directly on the main river. We saw a dolphin swim by and plenty of manatees. Plenty of kayaks to enjoy and the home had everything we could have asked for. The kitchen to the laundry room was very well thought out and equipped to just enjoy your vacation! The host was so friendly and communicative and very helpful. We even extended our stay! Highly recommend paddling to the main spring. Tough, but worth it!

This is one of our favorite houses to rent when we go to Weeki Wachi. The owners are extremely helpful and easy to work with. It has everything you need! Comfy beds, very clean, equipped with all your kitchen needs. The window in the kitchen is our favorite for passing food and drinks out of. Love the shade tree in the back yard too. We can’t wait to go back!

This is our second time staying here and it was even better this time because there is now a fence so our dogs were able to roam more freely. We saw dolphins and otters and a manatee right from the backyard. This was definitely one of our favorite vacations and we will be back again for sure.

This is great place to stay if you want to visit Weeki Watchee! It’s very clean and has everything you need for a great river vacation. Rogers Park is an easy paddle from the house but the real magic is to keep going until you hit the clearest section of the river. It’s about an hours paddle upstream. We used the provided kayaks and went everyday up the river and saw many manatees. Jeff was very attentive- we didn’t need anything, but he checked in frequently to make sure everything was good. The grill works great and the kitchen is well stocked. We cooked at the house for most of our meals and it was great. Try out the Deck restaurant down the street, it’s really good. My boys are 13 and 11 and the house and the river were perfect for them. My wife and I already talking about going back.

Tiki Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at the Tiki Retreat! It is the perfect little house for a fun getaway on the river. We spent so much time out on the kayaks provided, fishing, and swimming off the dock. The host was very responsive and easy to talk with and the rental was very clean with plenty of towels and kitchen supplies.

Peaceful Paradise

Weeki Watchee never disappoints and this little bungalow is the perfect place to enjoy it! Great up to date amenities inside and perks outside! Between the screened lanai, covered porch, gazebo, boat ramp and kayak launch there was no shortage of places to enjoy the river!

Direct river home

We have stayed in many houses but always on one of the canals. This house is directly on river and far enough away from Rogers park that it is quiet We saw manatees swim by every day. Our stay was wonderful and relaxing

It was exactly what we wanted and where we wanted it.

My elderly mother and I came to Florida for a funeral and wanted a place to unwind and relax for a couple of days. The home turned out to be just what we needed. A beautiful calm quiet place for healing. We plan to come down again under better circumstances, with a couple family members.

Good times

The host was awesome, very responsive, and I could tell by just our communication prior to my stay their home would be perfect, and it was. The place was very clean, and everything we needed from A-Z. The kids swam right off the dock, we saw manatees, and even a dolphin on a short kayak trip. The location was great, right around the corner from Roger’s park. I hope to stay again next year.
