About this property

Manatee Cove Apartment Star5Vacations

  • MANATEE COVE Swim and paddle with the manatees! WATERFRONT attached apartment right on the main Weeki Wachee River -- not a canal! Large balcony, private entrance. This is a very rare 1/2 acre property with 130' of waterfront offering uninterrupted views. The guest suite has about 1200 square feet under cover including the 300 sq. foot balcony. Charming second story suite with a full kitchen and a wonderful river panorama. Laundry in lower area. The water from the Weeki Wachee magnitude one spring is lovely and clean and stays at 72 to 74 year round. While most of the manatees are in the river from December to April guests spotted at least one almost every day in the summer. The water is shallow and sandy immediately in front of the house so it is safe for kids. You can wade in directly from the dock and play on a large sandbar. One bedroom has a queen bed the other a double. Eating areas on the balcony or inside. Nearby are excellent hiking trails if you want to take a break from the water. Kayaks provided (3 singles, 1 junior, kayaks my vary. Rentals available nearby). Towels provided. All bedding is brand new. There is also a fenced yard to enjoy and plenty of parking( which is shared with the adjoining unit) with a gate for security. Fishing charters, kayak rentals and boat rentals nearby. Also lots of restaurants from fish fry chow down to finer dining. The BBQ and fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, dishes and the kitchen has everything you need to cook in your Manatee Cove vacation home.

Nice getaway

We had a great time. The property was nice. It did appear upon checking in, that the tub had not been cleaned prior to our arrival, but that was a minor detail. Overall, it was what we expected. Nice to be right on the river!

Perfect Getaway

We absolutely loved this property. The 2nd floor screened in porch made the evenings so enjoyable to be outside without the bugs eating us. The view of the river was incredible, we saw many manatee floating by. The kayaks available to use were such a perk. We had a blast floating and paddling on the river. The weekend was pretty busy on the water but Monday we had it all to ourselves. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. It had all the things we could have needed. Such a bonus to have access to a washer and dryer as well. Owner communication was prompt and pleasant. The lower half of the home was also being rented out and we did not hear any noise between them and us. Plenty of restaurants in town (about a 5 minute drive). We loved the Breakfast Station!

Great house!!

The house and location were amazing. The only areas that could use attention are as follows… 1) shade on the back porch- I understand that this has already been addressed 2). If you are in the downstairs bedroom there is a lot of foot step noise from the apt, above. 3) Sub floor in the bedroom doorway is soft causing the ceramic tile to flex. 4) Paddle toys…kayaks and paddle board could use some updating. Overall, it was a spectacular spot and a great house. We already book a week for next year. Thank you!

Apartment was spotless and adorable! Beautiful spot for accessing the springs with provided kayaks. Screened in porch offered spectacular views. Only 2 minor issues we had grounds could use a little tlc and communication with owner a little slow {but it was later in the evening}. But would highly recommend and plan to return. Thankyou

The water is not as pictured. I rented this place for a week solely to float in the clear water right outside. What I found was murky water with a mushy bottom. Inside is cozy and clean as pictured. The balcony was the best part. Host was very responsive. I left two nights early and ate the cost to go somewhere else. I gave the host a chance to refund and they didn’t because they couldn’t rent it to someone else. Host said it the murky water was due to rain but there’s a drought. I don’t believe the host did everything possible give an accurate description of the current state of the water and didn’t compensate for a misleading description. Had I known I would have gone elsewhere. It was an expensive lesson to learn.
