Trust me, you want to be on the main river with direct access to the crystal clear waters of the Weeki Wachee River. There's a preserve across the river providing added privacy, and just around the corner from Hospital Hole where manatees love to congregate. There's also a beautiful little beach directly along the property's seawall, where you can swim or sit and relax.
Our home has been COMPLETELY updated and can accommodate your large group with 4 large bedrooms! Bring your boat to tie up or use the six single kayaks and a three person canoe provided for you to enjoy the river... no rental costs.
The space
We may be biased, but we think this is the best place on the river ;)
#1 Feature: We are directly on the crystal clear waters of the Weeki Wachee River! And we're located just around the corner from the famous "Hospital Hole" where the manatees congregate in droves. We are far enough up river that the water is almost always crystal clear. There's even a nice beach area to sit in the water as manatees swim by and a preserve across the river giving you extra privacy and more connection with the wildlife and a more natural feel for the wild river.
This house has been fully renovated inside and out. The whole interior has be remodeled with quality flooring, furniture and a great neutral color scheme. The outside has beautiful concrete interlocking pavers surrounding the property, including the driveway, wrap around walkways and full river patio space for all of your guests to enjoy the open feel on the water.
Enjoy the shallow shores and soak up the sun while the natural spring fed waters keeps you cool... or warm in the winter months. The water temperature is 74 degrees all year round.
Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is a five mile drive away (take in the world famous mermaid show and the river boat tour).
We are located 5.5 miles from the head of the river, so you have plenty of river to enjoy going against the flow. Roger's Park is a half mile down river from us and the Gulf of America is another 2 miles down river from there.
Weeki Wachee River produces 120 to 170 million gallons of clear fresh 74 degree water per day and is home to a very diverse wildlife population. We've actually seen a family of deer cross the river in front of us while we were canoeing - what a treat that was! There are river otters, manatees, dolphins, a wide variety of fish, birds and many many more wonderful species that call our area home.

Other things to note
Please be mindful of our neighbors as we do care for them and respect their space as well. We do hope never to have to deal with violations of sound ordinances as this does cause evictions. Please, no loud voices, music or any sounds after 11 PM.
Any guests staying overnight above and beyond the number paid for within the reservation will be charged a penalty of $50 per person per night. We reserve the right to terminate your stay without a refund if you exceed the maximum occupancy for your paid reservation.
No pets allowed. Unfortunately, not even service animals as we have health issues that prohibited this for our own health in homes we use personally.
