Wet Feet Retreat at Weeki Wachee: Waterfront, Manatees, Kayaks, SUPs

Wet Feet Retreat at Weeki Wachee offers a front-row seat to manatees, dolphins, and Weeki Wachee’s natural beauty. Start your mornings spotting manatees and dolphins right off the deck, then grab one of our many water toys and explore the crystal-clear waters of Weeki Wachee river. After a day of adventure, unwind by the firepit, dine under the stars, or relax in the screened gazebo as the sun sets over the water. Book your slice of paradise today!

Nestled along the crystal-clear Weeki Wachee River, this fully remodeled home has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bath and an outdoor shower. There are 4 beds - King, 2 Queens, and a Queen sleeper sofa - and comfortably sleeps 8.

Wet Feet Retreat is perfectly located—just a short paddle or stroll to Rogers Park beach and the popular Upper Deck restaurant. A few miles down the road, you’ll find Pine Island Beach and even more local favorites: enjoy daily live music and laid-back vibes at The Lazy Lizard, riverside dining at Silver Dolphin Restaurant, Spanish-Italian fusion at Brian’s Place, authentic flavors at La Bella Napoli Italian Restaurant, and delicious pizza from Matoli's Pizza and Subs that includes free delivery.

Your river adventure starts right here! Wet Feet Retreat comes fully stocked with everything you need for fun on the water—4 kayaks, 1 canoe, 3 paddleboards, a giant floating mat, and plenty of floats for the whole family. We even provide life vests in all sizes, so everyone can join the fun safely. Paddle just minutes from our dock to Hospital Hole, a well-known local dive site said to be where injured fish come to heal before returning to the Gulf—one of Weeki Wachee’s most fascinating spots! Along the way, make sure to keep your eyes peeled—manatees frequently glide by, making every outing magical!

Have a boat? You’re in luck! Roger's Park is just 2 minutes away with a convenient boat launch for your river adventures — and with direct Gulf access only a mile from the house, exploring open waters couldn’t be easier.
