Spent two of the most relaxing days here I have ever had. Used the kayaks to go down the river and seen two manatees. Relaxed under the stars each night. No complaints.

The Weeki Palace was wonderful! The outdoor space was awesome, the hosts were responsive, it was CLEAN, and we really loved the book they provided with instructions on how to use the shower, restaurant suggestions, etc! It was a little farther off the Weeki Wachee River than we would have liked, but it was still a great experience and it didn’t keep us off the river every day of our stay! We highly recommend the Weeki Palace.

The place was great. Property was really nice. Has great outdoor seating and dock area. About a 25 minute paddle to the main river. Super secluded and quiet. Has everything you need for a great fun stay. If your a person like me and use the river a few times a day it could use a few more towels and toilet paper. I had to run to store for rolls of toilet paper. Overall the place I great and I would recommend going there for sure.

We had an amazing time staying here! We’ve paddle boarded in the area before, but this was our first time actually staying nearby, and it made the whole experience even better. Being able to grab a kayak right from the property and paddle out to the river to explore was such a highlight.The house itself was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The check-in process was smooth and easy, and we really appreciated how simple the checkout instructions were as well.Overall, this was the perfect spot for a fun and relaxing getaway, and we would absolutely stay here again!

A very clean home filled with most of the things that you need and want - coffee, condiments, and toiletries go a long way when you are traveling and renting a space. This is much appreciated and not something all places include. Also great to have the option of single or double kayaks! Bring bug spray ;) We saw manatees! Thanks for a great stay!
