RIVER ACTIVITIES Launch into the water right from the backyard, with only a 5–10-minute paddle to the Weeki Wachee river. The river is family-friendly, perfect for wildlife viewing, and boasts some of the most beautiful scenery of any Florida waterway. The spring water stays a constant 72 degrees year-round, so it feels cool in the hot summer months and warm on a chilly winter day. Paddlers can take a break along the river and go for a dip, and various parts of the riverbank offer good stopping points for a picnic lunch. If you are a water-loving outdoors enthusiast, this river is a must. If you aren’t, you will be after a day on this river!
When you approach the Weeki Wachee River paddling from the house:
Turn right onto the river to get to Rogers Park and the Upper Deck restaurant, a popular spot to grab a drink and bite to eat while enjoying an elevated view of the water.
Or turn left to head towards the Weeki Wachee Springs State Park where you can see live mermaids perform. For anyone who prefers a guide; eco-tours are offered through the Weeki Wachee State Park and Boating in Florida. They will take tours upriver toward the headsprings while providing information about the surrounding flora and fauna, kayaking tips, and tips on river etiquette.
ADDITIONAL ATTRACTIONS There are so many other amazing adventures that are just a hop, skip, and a jump from Weeki Wachee. Directly to the south about 50-60 miles is Tampa, Clearwater Beach, and St. Petersburg. Then to the east about 1.5 – 2 hours is Orlando and Cocoa Beach.

The trip with our friends was excellent and we were able to try the go boats as we wanted on the river. The location of the house was in just the right spot to be able to explore the area by water. The property itself was clean and met our needs for the 2 nights we stayed there. Enjoyed being able to sit outside by a fire in the evening.
we loved our weekend stay. pet friendly and family friendly. the access to weeks wachee was amazing! we spent most of our time out on kayaks. great stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was perfect for our family of 4 and the waterfront location was wonderful!! The really appreciated the use of kayaks and the canal was a short paddle to the river. The boys enjoyed fishing off of the dock and we used the grill and fire pit several times. The screened porch was also a very nice place to relax and enjoy the water views. It was nice to have a large TV and comfy couch to watch the bowl games (we have had rentals before that did not). The owners were very helpful before our stay and luckily we didn’t have any issues during our stay that needed assistance, but I’m sure they would have been responsive if we did! We will definitely stay again next time we are in the area!
Great trip for a few nights over spring break. Perfect set up for a small crew - super clean, great amenities, excellent communications, and just a short paddle to the river. We’ll be back for sure!
This place was located in between Roger’s park and buccaneer Bay. It has enough room for a large family and still be cozy. Perfectly located to kayak where ever you want . I will definitely come back !
The cottage was the perfect place to unwind for a few days. It was spotless, the kitchen was fully equipped, and everything we needed was right there. The location on a canal right off the river is ideal for short or long explorations of the river via kayak. We'll be staying again!!
Clean! Had everything you could need for you and your pet. Comfy beds lots of kayaks to chose from. Host quickly responded to questions. We saw dolphins and manatees right at our . Great weekend dock!
We had a great few days for a long weekend spring break. We love being on the water and exploring the area. The house was clean with everything we needed. Thank you for allowing dogs, he enjoyed himself. We have stayed in the neighborhood before and loved coming back to the neighborhood. We enjoy old Florida feel and wildlife.
Super cute little place with easy access to the river. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and rainy so we had to seek indoor activities. Hope to return, so that we can actually enjoy the paddling and the outdoors.

This was a great little house with all the things you need to vacation on the springs. We enjoyed our time, the area was quiet and close to major stores if you forgot anything. I would definitely rent from Chris again in the future.
The canal we stayed in is super clear with manatees literally EATING UNDER THE DOCK. It’s super quiet as well which we really like. Really close the the main river as well. 10/10 this home!
Our family loved our stay. The house is right on the river. I enjoyed sitting in the screened patio enjoying the view. The kids were able to launch the kayaks provided easily & the springs itself was just a short paddle. The layout was perfect, we had enough space that we weren't right on top of each other. I am a home cooker & appreciated all the kitchen equipment & dishware provided. Communication with the hosts was easy, quick, & pleasant. We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your home away from home with us!
Chris was a five star host. Modified reservations for us, with absolutely no problems. His home is beautiful, a good bed, and we enjoyed the kayaks. You can kayak to a popular eating place called the upper deck. I would not hesitate to stay again.
Loved being right on the river and able to launch from there, and I had my dog with me which is even better. Very communicative and helpful, and I'd love to stay again! :)
Location was perfect. We brought out boat and had no issues accessing the river and the gulf. Only reason for the 4 starts is the house needed some updating. Back door wouldn't shut and we were not able to lock up the place while gone, also the dock was not safe to use. The owner did inform us on this issue, however 2 days before our saty. I would recommend this place because the price was right for what we got.
We had a wonderful experience. We didn't have communication with the property manager but didn't feel the need to either. It was perfect for our family of assorted aged adults and 10 yr.oldyears old
The house was very clean and fully supplied with necessary items so we only needed to do grocery shopping for our specific tastes. The kitchen has labels on cupboards making it easy to find items and put them away. The kayaks were in good condition and we utilized them several times during our week-long visit. There was plenty of room for two couples.
This house had everything we needed for 6 adults and 1 dog. The area is perfect for boating and kayaking. Furniture and beds were comfortable. We would stay again for sure.
