WATERFRONT DEAL! Boat Dock/Ramp•Kayaks•SUP•Easy Gulf•Fish•Manatees, Dog friendly

Scallop season is until September 24!! Been a bountiful year. Bring your dog, yard is fenced for their safety. Kayaks and stand up paddle boards included along with paddles and life jackets.
Modern block home, fully equipped. Boat ramp and dock, perfect for boaters. Can launch jet skis and small boats at house, and very close to Bayport ramp for larger boats. Deep protected canal and dock is great for most size boats. Perfect location for boaters wanting to go scalloping or fishing in the gulf. Natural areas to paddle with nature. Can paddle the local natural streams and cut through the creek to Rogers Park. Located in a quiet wooded setting of full time residents on dead end street. Modern kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances. Fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes and silverware. Bathrooms stocked with soaps and shampoos and towels. Extra pillows, blankets and sheets are accessible. Each bedroom and living areas with own smart television. Master bedroom has attached full bathroom with standup shower. Home has kayaks and paddle boards for paddling with the manatees. The local paddling is amazing with a private swimming hole and easy paddling to Rogers Park Beach. World-class fishing and scalloping. This home has fantastic boat access to the gulf. Home is in area with large, wooded lots that is more secluded and higher end than other areas of Weeki Wachee. I have other Weeki Wachee properties that might be ideal for your stay if this one is unavailable for your desired time. My other homes are in the more "party" area of the river.
I absolutely love answering questions and helping families make the most of their time in paradise.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

House smelled like fish most of our stay. Home was very clean inside, but mostly outdated furniture. Back patio and yard have not been cleaned in awhile. Lots of crunchy leaves and pollen. Some dog poop still present. Neighbors stated previous occupants had three full size dogs. Listing states two small dogs. There are like seven kayaks. Only three in any shape to use. Property needs some TLC. Location and area are awesome. Owner was great. Not sure if we'd stay at this property again. Location, YES!
