Don’t Book This House… Unless You’re Okay With Manatees Stealing the Show

Imagine sipping coffee on the dock when a manatee glides up like it’s auditioning for the role of “Cutest Neighbor Ever.” It happens here. Often. Whatever you do, do not read the reviews to find out if we're telling the truth ;)

And if you don’t want wildlife sightings right off the backyard, this probably isn’t for you. But if you do… our kayaks are waiting, the yard is massive, and the fire pit is practically begging for marshmallows.

So, on a more seasonal note: even though the calendar says Fall right now, Florida is still serving up warm, sunny days—perfect for paddling, swimming, and soaking up nature before the cooler months arrive.

October and November are some of the best times to experience Weeki Wachee: fewer crowds, manatees starting to return, and plenty of golden sunsets to enjoy from the dock.

Ever dreamed of waking up to the sound of birds, a gentle river breeze, and the call of adventure right outside the screened in porch?

Our family-friendly waterfront home is a slice of Florida paradise, just a five-minute paddle to the crystal-clear, 72-degree waters of Weeki Wachee.

We love this place because it’s the best of both worlds—relaxing when you want it to be, and full of outdoor fun when you’re ready for it. Whether you’re here to kayak with MANATEES, fish off the dock, or just soak up the sunshine, this place is designed for making real memories with family and friends.

What You’ll Love About This Home:

**BIG Dock** – Perfect for fishing, launching kayaks, or just enjoying a morning coffee.

**Kayaks Included** – No need to rent! We’ve got **5 adult kayaks + 3 kid-sized ones** ready for adventure.

**Huge Yard & Fire Pit** – Room to play, grill out, or make s’mores under the stars.

**Unbeatable Location** – Close to parks, springs, and Weeki Wachee’s famous **mermaid show**!

**Space for the Whole Crew** – Sleeps up to 6 adults comfortably, or 8 with little ones.

---

Outdoor Fun Starts Here

This is the kind of place where memories just happen. Spend your days paddling down the river, grilling up fresh-caught fish, playing lawn games, or just kicking back on the dock** while mullet jump and manatees glide by.

At night, gather around the fire pit, tell stories, and watch the stars. (Pro tip: S’mores make everything better!)

Want to explore beyond the house? You’re just minutes from Weeki Wachee Springs, Pine Island Beach, and some of Florida’s best water adventures.

Oh, and don’t worry—restaurants, groceries, and anything else you need are just a short drive away.

Inside the House

We’ve set this place up to feel like home, but better.

- **Master Bedroom**: King bed (because everyone deserves a good night’s sleep).

- **Guest Room**: Queen bed + 2 convertible chairs that become a queen or two singles.

- **Living Room**: Cozy and open, perfect for movie nights or game time.

- **Fully Stocked Kitchen**: Everything you need to cook up a feast (minus the groceries).

- **Washer/Dryer**: Because no one wants to take home wet swimsuits.

---

Pet-Friendly (With a Few Rules)

We totally get it—pets are family. That’s why we allow one small dog (under 20lbs) with a **non-refundable $200 pet fee**. (Sorry, no cats!) If you have a special case, just reach out—we’re happy to chat.

---

A Few Things to Know

- **This is our family’s home away from home.** We ask that guests **treat it with the same love and care** we do.

- **We have 3 outdoor security cameras** in **public-facing areas only** (driveway and yard). This is just to keep trespassers away and ensure a safe stay.

- **Grills are available (gas & charcoal)**, but guests will need to provide their own propane/charcoal.

---

Ready to Make Memories?

This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s an experience.Whether you’re paddling, fishing, swimming, or just soaking up the Florida sunshine, this place is all about slowing down and soaking in the good stuff.

We’d love to host you—reach out with any questions!

Our stay was wonderful! The location was perfect for getting to Weeki Wachee reserve. We saw manatees everyday from the back deck! There were kayaks of all sizes that were perfect for everyone in my family, big and small. Plenty of lifejackets and a large floating mat that we used everyday. The house was clean and had all the amenities you will need. The host responded immediately to all correspondences and was very helpful. Definitely recommend!

Making memories

This peaceful piece of paradise was just what we were needing. This home was extremely welcoming and even better than described, well suited for our varying ages from 1 to 79. Kayaks were very popular for some in our party, and water viewing was enjoyed by all. Ended our perfect stay with s'mores around the fire pit. Hope we'll be invited to return.

Amazing property

My family absolutely loved staying here. The location, the decoration, the host. All of them were absolutely amazing. We had one small issue during the stay, but the host took care of it so quickly, I barely had time to blink. If you love the river-lifestyle, this is a great stay. So close to the Weeki Wachee river and so close to places where you can see manatees, fish and other kinds of wild-life. We'll def be going back to this one.

Fall Break

A beautiful break away from the hustle of everyday life. Our first vacation away with my 11 and 15 year old. Cut short thanks to hurricane Helene. Lots of paddling on the river. Lots of wildlife. We had a few camp fires. The dock was a beautiful place to sit and have coffee or a cocktail! The home had everything we needed. The owner was great to communicate as well! We hope to be able to make it back to continue to explore the area!

Great little getaway in Weeki Wachee right on the water!

We had a great experience renting with Annabelle! We had a little bit of a rough start to our stay due to some misunderstanding of how VRBO works, but got it figured out & Annabelle was such a gracious host. She more than made up for the issues we had! We had an amazing stay in Weeki Wachee! The house is very comfortable and we had everything we needed for our week stay. We used the kayaks everyday and the kids swam right off the dock at the house. The screened back patio is a perfect place to sit and watch the birds, flying fish & even the lizards! We will definitely be back!

Family getaway...

We had a wonderful time- my wife and I took our 2 young children (4 and 7). It is about to be our daughter's 5th birthday so we took her to see the mermaids. They were so kind at the rental- even made a personal welcome board for our daughter and a birthday card for her. We enjoyed the absolutely beautiful river, saw several manatees, enjoyed the kayaks (the kids even learned to paddle themselves on the kids kayaks) and just had an overall wonderful time. Everyone loved it. Thank you so much!

A wonderful retreat in Weeki Wachee

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this property. We had everything we needed to fully enjoy all that Weeki Wachee has to offer. This place was a gem! We were greeted by a beautiful spacious home that accommodated our party perfectly. The girls loved their room, which was so adorably warm and welcoming. The house has a beautiful new deck that allowed for plenty of outdoor time. We had a manatee visit us early right by the dock and we did see Chip as well. Lots of beautiful wildlife. This location was perfect for getting to enjoy all this beautiful area has to offer and close enough for us to slip away for a day or two to enjoy Clearwater. Annabelle was a pleasure to work with and was always responsive with lots of helpful information. I would absolutely recommend again.

It was a fabulous vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and comfortable. Communication was excellent with the owners. We stayed there with our son and Granddaughter. We stayed outside most of the time and on the river. The big oak tree out back was really great for keeping the sitting area next to the dock nice and shady and with a little breeze. The paddle out to the main river is not bad at all. We saw lots of Manatees out on the main river, but on our last paddle back to the house, I spotted a manatee about half way down our canal and followed it all the way to our dock. The manatee stayed and ate some of the green plants under the rope swing . That was very cool. All in all we had a great time!

Easy access to water fun

We came done to Florida to visit with family, and also enjoy the Weeki Wachee - one of our favorite places. The house is back off the river and has easy access. The entry to the river is central enough to either go up to state park or down to Rodger’s park.

Exceptional Outdoors!

This was by far, one of the best experiences we’ve had on the best canal in the Weeki Wachee area; the home has an exceptional outdoor deck and dock area and the home had a great living space, comfortable beds and adequately provided all of our indoor needs;Manatee routinely swam up to the dock at high-tide to eat the vegetation and was an amazing treat to watch! Morning coffees on the deck underneath the majestic old-Florida oak tree shading the home were the most peaceful part of our day! The host was extremely prompt with any of questions and communication and really made us feel welcome and appreciated with personal touches. We can’t wait to plan another trip to this little gem in a corner of paradise! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Family Spring Break

The house was just right, very welcoming, 2 bathrooms, lots of sleeping options and the location was amazing. We enjoyed the fire pit and the deck. Date night at the local Italian restaurant was perfect. The stable of kayaks needs some attention, but the host was helpful is getting us what we needed for four days on the amazing river. Also ask the host about launching your kayaks from Weeki Wachee State Park for the best experience!

The Story of Belle Springs & Oaks
A Search for Belonging

My family traveled often as a (only) child, visiting beautiful places. Yet, something was missing. The destinations were stunning, but they lacked warmth, connection, and a sense of home. That’s when I realized: a trip isn’t just about where you go, but how you feel when you’re there.

The Moment Everything Changed

Years later, under a golden Florida sunset, I watched my children laugh around the firepit of our newly purchased vacation home. The smell of toasted marshmallows filled the air, voices mingled in stories, and time seemed to slow.

In that moment, I knew—I had finally found what I had been searching for.

Belle Springs & Oaks wasn’t just a house; it was a place for families to truly be together, where time stretched and every moment became a cherished memory.

More Than Just a Stay—A Place to Belong

Too many rentals in Weeki Wachee felt impersonal and I wanted more. I wanted a place where my children could run barefoot through the grass, where I could sip my morning coffee in peace, where comfort and thoughtfulness were simple and embracing.

So, we created something different.

Belle Springs & Oaks is designed for togetherness. Every detail—from cozy beds to a stocked kitchen, from a peaceful nook to spacious outdoor areas—was chosen with care. Here, generations can relax, connect, and rediscover simple joys.

## A Legacy of Connection

My dream is to create a place where children grow up making memories and return with their own families years later.

Because in the end, the heart of any journey isn’t just the destination—it’s who you share it with.

Welcome to Belle Springs & Oaks. Welcome home.

Varför värden valde detta boende

This home is first and foremost our home away from home, where we go for family fun and celebration. We created it to be shared but also to feel cozy and welcoming to us and to others.

The spacious yard is perfect for playing Frisbee, softball, tag and so much more and we added some activities we hope you'll appreciate.
The water is beautiful and 72 degrees all year around: perfect to cool off on hot summer days and warm during cooler winter days.

Our home is on a canal that has several springs throughout it making it one of the cleanest ones in Weeki Wachee Gardens and where fish, birds and manatees like to hang out. There is also a water fountain at the very end of it for some added fun.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Ou home is equipped with 5 adult kayaks and 3 kids' kayaks (2 of which can be used by adults as well) and a water mattress that has proven to be an endless source of fun for everyone.

The boat ramp is one of the best secrets to this home. The ramp also makes it for a perfect way to very easily get in and out of kayaks as well as a great spot for kids to play.

CHILDREN MUST BE UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION AT ALL TIMES.
