How about kayaking?

If you're a kayak fan, a must-do is visiting Weeki Wachee Springs and paddling down the river.

When you get exhausted, sit back on the patio to spend a pleasant evening by the bonfire, gas firepit, or dip in the pool.
After a busy day, get some good nite rest on brand-new memory foam beds while double-pane windows keep you safe and sound.
Good night sleep, wake up, repeat!

This home was absolutely perfect and exceeded every expectation. We brought a family of seven for my graduation weekend, and it could not have been a better place to celebrate. From the moment we arrived, the house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly welcoming with an open layout and high ceilings that made it feel spacious yet cozy. The outdoor space was a true highlight — a solar-heated pool, hot tub, and two fire pits (one electric inside and a real wood-burning fire pit outside). The fully fenced yard was ideal for our service dogs, and the lanai and backyard were kept in phenomenal condition. One morning we even saw a bald eagle while drinking coffee by the fire pit, which made the stay unforgettable. The quiet cul-de-sac location added to the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere.Inside, the home was exceptionally well stocked with everything you could need — spices, cookware, hair dryers, toothbrushes, endless towels, extra toilet paper and paper towels, beach chairs, a vacuum, and even a baby crib. The beds were incredibly comfortable, TVs were in every room (including outside), and the Nest thermostat made temperature control effortless. A Christmas tree was even set up, adding a warm, home-like touch. The owners were outstanding, responsive, kind, and extremely accommodating. They allowed early check-in and personally came by to fix the hot tub when it wasn’t filling properly. This was the perfect home for a graduation BBQ and family gathering.

A peaceful retreat

We had to book a last minute stay for 6 days after the passing of my mother in-law. This beauty space gave our family the room we needed with ALL of the comforts of home and then some. Some of our most favorite memories made were sitting out back and watch all of the birds and looking out on the water. We even had an Eagle visit us for 4 days during our stay. To anyone looking for a home away from home. Look no further. I must also add that Communication was effortless with the host, Tom who was quickly responsive to questions

Fun away from home.p0

Family members from four corners of the country met here for Christmas . Community area was open and well appointed. TV in every bedroom, modern appliances including new Keurig coffee maker. Loved sitting on the porch in the morning and watching for the bald eagles to pay a visit at the lake and several other feathered friends as well as a friendly crane who became a family friend with his daily visits. A few minor cliches like the water shutoff and difficulty in getting into the house were handled efficiently by the owners. The Christmas tree which greeted us when we arrived was a gracious and welcome sight.

Short review- book it!! Long review- I normally don’t look at anything unless it has over 20 reviews, but this house was in the location we needed and had a pool and a hot tub, so we took the chance. I’m so glad we did! The house was super clean. There were lots of towels, blankets, beach chairs, etc…my daughter has food issues so we do a lot of cooking at home. The kitchen was big with everything we needed. The grill was easy to start. The outdoor seating area next to the pool was very large and we spent most of our time there. We had a large group and there was plenty of space for everyone. The neighborhood was quiet. Tom was super quick to respond with anything we needed. It was a positive experience and I’d stay there again!
