The back deck provided a peaceful retreat, and could often be entertaining as we watched people make their way on the river. We kayaked daily and enjoyed going to the hospital hole to see the manatees. The hosts were consistently helpful and prompt in fulfilling any of our requests and providing us with information.

The house was just as pictured, Kelly and her husband were perfect hosts easy to get a hold of if we needed anything. We loved sitting out on the deck soaking up the sun,fishing and kayaking. Loved the little extras , charging cords in the master and the shampoo dispensers in the showers. The location was perfect as we were visiting family nearby. Lots of great restaurants. Will definitely consider renting again. Thank you for a great week! Only suggestion- we could have used another potholder . ##### Cindy I.

We were visiting Florida to celebrate my mom's 90th birthday. Family was gathering from across the country, and we wanted one central location as a home base. This property was perfect for our needs, and our small dog. Three bedrooms and two baths worked well. The unit was well stocked with all necessary items for cooking, bedding. and bath. The location was as described, a short Kayke ride from the property to the Weeki Wachee River. We were able to sneak in a few rides in the supplied Kayke's down the river and were pleasantly surprised to actual Kayke with the Manatees, simply amazing. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. Would definitely recommend this unit for a family vacation. ##### Joseph M. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luciana M.

From the moment we booked, Kelly along with Sonia and the entire team at Hostaway demonstrated exceptional communication—providing every detail we needed ahead of time, checking in with us during our stay, and making the entire process seamless through to checkout. Their high standards and thoughtful attention to detail were evident throughout the home.The property itself was exactly as described—spacious, comfortable, and spotless. Located right on the beautiful Weeki Wachee River, it offered both relaxation and adventure. We made full use of the included water toys, took the kayak out daily, played on the water mat while manatees swam by, and fished from the dock with the gear we brought. The home also had a great selection of games that added to the fun. Kelly and Sonia shared restaurant suggestions and hot spots that only locals know about. The home is just minutes from Weeki Wachee Springs and Hernando Beach, making it the perfect base for exploring the area. My husband and I travel for our careers we were looking for a peaceful staycation, and this experience far exceeded our expectations. We left feeling recharged and grateful for such a memorable, well-hosted weekend. We are already looking forward to booking with Kelly many more times in the future!

Our stay at the charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental house on the Weeki Wachee River exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the pristine condition of the property and the thoughtful amenities provided. The house itself is beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated, offering a cozy yet spacious environment for our group. Each of the three bedrooms was comfortable and well-appointed, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The two bathrooms were spotless and stocked with all the essentials, adding to the convenience of our stay. The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances and all the cookware we needed to prepare meals, which was a delightful surprise. One of the highlights of our stay was the easy access to the Weeki Wachee River and the ability to have our boat behind the house. The provided kayaks and paddleboards were in excellent condition and greatly enhanced our experience. The location of the house is ideal! Overall this rental house had everything we needed and more! Kelly was extremely communicative and I will definitely rent from her again! ##### Lisa F. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### diane d.
