Fantastic for the whole family

It was perfect. As we swam in the water we listened to multiple people comment on how awesome the house was. The music and the big unicorn helped…. Manatees swam by every evening.

Beautiful Home with Crystal Clear Water

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property on the Weeki Wachee River! The water was absolutely crystal clear—perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, and just relaxing by the river. The house itself was spotless and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a stress-free getaway. The listing was 100% accurate, so there were no surprises—just a peaceful, well-kept retreat in a stunning location. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Florida in comfort!

quick get away

This property was perfect for a friends get away! The multi level living spaces was great for when some wanted quiet time. The outdoor area was spectacular ! So many seating options. Not that it was a negative, but the only thing missing was a hammock for the nice cool mornings. Host was great with communication also. Will definitely will book again.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Nasty floors, disgusting sheets. Filthy.

We loved the location. The house itself, aside from the interior stairs, was good. Good, HOT water. Just filthy! We took the sheets off the beds - hair and little black spots. Bought new sheets, pillows and cover at Target - unplanned new sheet sets for home. Absolutely no contact from the "property manager".

Great family property on the river

We had a group of friends stay in this house together with kids age range between 1-12. While there were enough bedrooms to accommodate a large group, the beds were not the best. However there were extra futons and couches plus floor space for plenty of air mattresses. Our only other negative comment would be about the lack of toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags and some other kitchen items. However, that’s an easy fix so please don’t let that deter you from this place. It is in a great location on the river with a lot of kayaks and entertainment space. The contact for the property was very responsive and nice. We will definitely be looking to stay at this property for another river trip in the future.
