This house was amazing! It was clean, had everything we needed (plus more), and the view was perfect! The screened in porch was also our favorite place to be in the evenings. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back! Adults and teens had the best time.

It was much easier to spot manatees from the upper balcony than in a kayak ! Weekends are a big party atmosphere and neighbor likes classic rock , but much quieter during Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. Pine Island beach is lovely and only 5 minutes away . The Blackstone grill made dinners easy . We launched from State park ( must reserve time and pay ) and it was worth it to float DOWNSTREAM after high tide the whole six miles to house ! Very enjoyable lazy float then

This house was very clean! It supplied everything we needed to drop our bags and play on the river. We saw manatees from the porch everyday and explored the area with ease. The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked, water crafts were in good shape, and everything was tastefully decorated. Our family felt right at home. We would love to book again!

Beautiful vacation home in Spring Hill, FL right on the Weeki Wachee river. The home is newer with fun and tasteful decor and loaded with extras and amenities. Our group was very comfortable and we enjoyed the home/kitchen/grill/outdoor living during our stay. Having kayaks and stand-up paddleboards with the self-launch dock was wonderful and convenient. We kayaked, swam, fished, explored the river and watched the river life float by. Saw manatee, fish, birds. Friendly neighbors made it enjoyable as well. We had great weather during our stay and also liked having lots of nearby restaurants, grocery stores and shopping within 15 minutes of the vacation home. Highly communicative hosts, the house was very clean and had all the comforts of home. Wouldn't hesitate to book again when staying in the Spring Hill area. Thanks Tonya and Toby!

We always love our stay here! We saw manatees almost every day, which was such a treat. The fireplace was perfect for setting the cozy ambiance during a chilly weekend. We especially enjoyed the downstairs area with the TV for watching football. The kitchen is well stocked, which is great since we cook most of our meals. The space is very comfortable and welcoming. Don’t miss LaurieCue for some excellent BBQ while you’re in town!

We had a wonderful Christmas stay at this home and couldn’t be happier. This is our third stay with this host — we’ve stayed twice in their pink home, and Margaritaville is just as stellar.The house is decorated in a colorful theme that immediately makes you feel relaxed and on vacation. Parrot-heads will love this home! The Christmas tree and holiday touches were such a thoughtful surprise and made our stay feel extra special.The home is spotless, comfortable, and stocked with extended amenities that truly went above and beyond. This host consistently provides an outstanding experience, which is why we keep coming back. Highly recommend!

Oh my goodness words can’t possibly describe how much fun we had! I spent 20 years of my career working in hospitality, and this home provides all the hospitable feels of home and so much more! I think one of our favorite joys were all of the different vessels to choose from! Kayaks/paddle boards that provide opportunities for two, one or even small kids. Absolutely everything was thought of in this home! We can’t wait to go back.

Wonderful visit!

This house is lovely and very well appointed with anything you might need. It was perfect for our group of six. We spent most of our time sitting by the river and watching all the activity going by. We also made good use of the kayaks and paddle boards that are provided. Highly recommend taking advantage of the put-in at Weeki Wachee state park and paddling the 6 miles back to the house. It's magical.

Beautiful getaway

This home was everything we expected and more! From the moment we arrived, it felt like the perfect getaway. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun-filled stay — from kayaks and paddle boards to cornhole for some friendly competition.We absolutely loved the Margaritaville theme throughout the home; it added such a fun, laid-back vibe to our trip. But the real highlight was the direct access to the river — it truly doesn’t get better than that. Whether we were paddling out at sunrise or just soaking in the peaceful views, it made our stay unforgettable.We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation spot!

this is a wonderful place. Nice and relaxing beautiful view of the river. Chairs that are set out next to the water. The house is decorated beautifully to the theme of Margaritaville. we love the kayaks and paddle boards that were provided. The owners go above and beyond that ensures everything is in place. We even had coffee ready to go to enjoy our first morning. We stayed seven days and loved every minute of it. We didn’t wanna leave. The place is very clean. Mattresses were nice to sleep on. Pricing may seem a little high, but for what you get is certainly worth it. I would highly recommend this place. Will be back next year. Thank YOU. .

Christmas Getaway!

We had an incredible stay on the Weeki Wachee River, just a short 5-minute kayak trip to the famous Hospital Hole where we got to see manatees up close! The host went above and beyond to make our visit truly special, decorating the house beautifully for Christmas with a tree, festive lights, and even leaving a thoughtful card and gift. The house itself was immaculate and stocked with absolutely everything we could have needed—it was the perfect combination of comfort and convenience. This cozy retreat was ideal for a relaxing getaway, and the serene river setting made it unforgettable. Highly recommend!

I visited with two friends for a birthday getaway and we were all so impressed with this home. The attention to detail and care that went into this property is so evident. The hosts were very responsive from the beginning. The home is spotlessly clean. The beds are comfortable, the sheets are high quality. The decor is so fun and cohesive. Everything you could need is available, from kitchen supplies to kayaks and a padddleboard. The location is just perfect, close to everything but still so quiet and peaceful. The river was beautiful, we saw so many manatees. We did not want to leave and cannot wait to go back!

Weeki Wachee Dream House

We had an incredible stay at this brand-new property on the Weeki Wachee River! The location is unbeatable—right on the river with beautiful views and easy access to the water. There is a rope swing available to the public a couple houses down in swimming distance that we definitely took advantage of. The house was spotless, clearly very well maintained, and everything felt fresh and new. The vibes were impeccable and you can tell there was not one detail unthought of! We were amazed to see over a dozen manatees, including babies, right from the back dock—such an unforgettable experience! The host, Tonya, was over-the-top communicative and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We would absolutely rent here again! Actually, we might not rent anywhere else ever again!

Fabulous home right on the Weeki Wachee River

What a spectacular home! We have rented the pink one next door 3 x's but I have to say I am in love with the yellow one now! Both are amazing homes with incredible views and so many awesome upgrades. From the moment you drive up to this gorgeous home with its spacious paved driveway you will be smitten. Brand new and with such a fun and happy decor, I loved all the parrot artwork and Jimmy Buffet memorabilia. Truly a tropical ambiance that is balanced with all of the high-end finishes and upgrades in this home. The river is absolutely breathtaking with its crystal clear almost blue/green water and teeming with activity from manatees to all of the paddle boarders and kayaker's. A water playground to be enjoyed. My favorite spot is to get breakfast in the dreamy kitchen and then sit out on the balcony and enjoy the views. The beds are super comfortable, soft sheets, plush towels like you are at a 5-star resort. The lower-level entertainment has a large tv, comfy furnishings, grill, and a tropical tiki with bar that is the essence of the Margaritaville theme. I also really appreciated the Adirondack chairs out back and the cool umbrellas which were perfect for relaxing in. The dock is so nice with plenty of hand holds and a ladder to get out easily. We have already booked again and will look forward to enjoying another amazing time on the river. Thank you, Tobie and Tanya, for being such fantastic owners and for sharing your spectacular home!
