Great space

We enjoyed our stay at the mermaid retreat. The common areas are spacious and cozy. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and we very much enjoyed the kayaks, lanai and dock. Just a short paddle away from the river where we could paddle up towards the state park. Saw several manatees on our journey. The neighbors are friendly and quiet. Very peaceful overall.

Don’t hesitate…This home lacks NOTHING!

We had the best time for Thanksgiving. The house was VERY clean and VERY well equip. We will definitely return. The river was beautiful, we seen lots of mullet, Manatees & babies. The grands and kids enjoyed fishing, kayaking & having fire's. The screen room outside is perfect, with a grill, the long dock was great and made it easy for a few to be fishing at the same time. We made so many new memories and had lots of laughs. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. -Darnell Family Thanksgiving 2023

Great house, great hosts, great location

Our large family rented four places on the Weeki Wachee canals and my wife and I stayed here with our 21-year-old daughter, 25-year-old son, and his girlfriend. My 95-year-old mother also joined us here, preferring the electric lounge chair to a bed at another house. The place has a long dock right next to a big party house at the end of the last canal where there's a fountain and people always swim. But manatee seem to like the spot, and we saw at least one per day. In fact, one came right up to us as we sat on our dock, feet dangling in the water. Kayaks were easy to launch from here, and the house itself is really nice. Photos are accurate, and the hosts were very nice and communicative. We'd stay here again!

Beautiful house in a beautiful spot

Our family of 5 spent 5 nights here and we all enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well stocked. The property was well maintained and had beautiful plants. We absolutely loved the screened in patio in the back. We used 5 of the provided kayaks and paddled down to the main river everyday several times. We saw multiple manatees everyday but one and one morning we saw 4 right off the dock of the house. The Weeki Wachee river is absolutely beautiful and we loved exploring it. We plan to visit again.

My family and I had an amazing stay for our spring break. The location is great. Five minutes down the road from the Weeki Wachee state park. We kayaked from the house to the spring and it was just amazing. We also put in at the state park and kayaked back to the house. Our kids loved playing in the canal. Over all a great stay!

Manatees and more

We were looking for location and kayaks to provide a relaxing getaway with family. The house met our needs perfectly. We kayaked several times up and down the River and were rewarded encounters with manatee mammas and babies, turtles and bird life. The owners left an amazing welcome “snack” in the refrigerator that we worked on for several days. We hated to see our visit end.

Home away from home

The Vrbo was beautiful, cozy, clean, and comforting. It truly felt like a home away from home. There were board games and puzzles in one of the closets, TV’s in each bedroom, and plenty of kayaks so we never got bored. There were extra supplies and snacks including sandwich bags and popcorn, so we were very thankful. Would stay here again !
