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 what other amazing animals like to show up at our dock ;)
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.
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.

Great fun for the whole family right from the property! The kids had a blast swimming off the dock, kayaking with manatees and fishing. Location is convenient to get to local restaurants and Hernando Beach if you want to go offshore. Great time all around!

Great location. Older home that could use some updates but the property makes up for it. Great access to the river and we used the canoes every chance we had.

This property was great! It has all the things you need for a great Florida springs vacation. The hosts were fantastic at communicating and any minor issues were quickly addressed. Loved the outdoor space and having kayaks available. The kitchen was well stocked and everything worked. The beds were so comfortable. Needs some minor updates but nothing that affected our stay. Would definitely recommend

We only wish we could have stayed longer. The house was so well-furnished and decorated and it was the perfect spot for a few nights over our kiddos’ Spring Break for a last minute trip.

We had a wonderful stay for our family of six. Precious house with everything you need. The outside dock and swim area is very nice! We saw several Manatees! We enjoyed the time playing on the river and kayaking from Weeki Wachee back to the house! Not having to rent kayaks was a nice perk! Thank you to our host for some good family time and memories made!

Wonderful setting and beautiful home! We were visiting family nearby and had a great stay - everything we needed was included. Spent an afternoon on the canals and found a pod of manatees nearby. Absolutely beautiful.

Cozy and cute
Such a cute place! We loved our stay on the river and felt right at home. We loved that we could paddle just a little ways up the river and be away from all housing as well.

An amazing stay on the river. Home was clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The river is beautiful, plenty of kayaks and highly recommend doing a scalloping tour if you have never done it. Saw manatees and even a dolphin right off the dock. Overall an awesome experience!

The pictures don’t do this property justice. The backyard and dock are really stunning and we had an egret stop by and enjoy happy hour with us. The paddle upstream is arduous if you’re trying to make it all the way to the head springs but worth it no matter how far you make it. We saw plenty of manatee mostly in the canals before you make it to the main river. We found the house very comfortable and well stocked. Annabelle couldn’t have been more communicative and helpful and we had everything we needed and suggestions for everything we might want to do. Well worth the price and an amazing experience. This place is really magical.
