This place was stocked with so many extras from seasonings, little bathroom needs. The place was clean and very well decorated. Loved the water access and the paddle boards on site for use. I would definitely recommend and will return again. Close to the race track and so many other family owned restaurants and such.
Property was pristine and had a little bit of everything for everyone. The location is very accommodating and owners were caring and responsive. We plan to make this an annual tradition!

Couldn’t ask for more!
Our whole family absolutely loved our stay at Turtle Cove! We saw manatees in the canal almost daily. Having the kayaks included in our rental was an amazing bonus that we took advantage of! Turtle Cove is so homey and had tons of little touches that made it nothing short of perfect.

Fun for all!!
We had a great getaway with our grandsons at Turtle Cove! We love being able to just swim right off the dock. Having the kayaks and the paddle boards readily available increased all the fun that the Grandsons had with us. Looking forward to booking again next year for a longer period of time.
This was a relaxing slow paced vacation that we all needed! It was convienient to shops and dinning and the kayaks were so much fun. Would have loved some instructions about the waterway, where the canal leads too and ways to get there. Loved the property , thank you for having us!
Overall a great experience. We practically lived on the water. The weather was great and all of the accommodations were just as described. It was requested that all towels be washed and folded which eliminates taking a shower the morning of departure. Mattresses were a little firm for us but that’s not unusual with most rentals. I would definitely recommend this house and area to future travelers.
We had a fabulous time staying in this beautiful home right on a canal close to Weeki Wachee! If you like quiet mornings with your coffee watching the mullet jump, the turtles floating, peaceful kayaking either the canal or river, watching your grandchildren jump in again and again and even make friends with the neighbor's kids then this is for you. Super comfortable beds with all the conviences of home or if you want to go out and about there's alot to do, this is for you. Denise answered all our questions quickly. The only negative was we had to leave too soon. We will be back!
We had an amazing time staying st Turtle Cove. We’ve stayed on Weeki Wachee before and this was such a great experience staying with the entire family. The location was convenient and the home was beautiful. Denise was so accommodating and was incredibly flexible and generous when we contacted her about extending our reservation and adding family members to our stay. The home had everything we needed and more and was quite comfort for a large group. The entire family was so grateful for the hospitality and wonderful memories we made staying the weekend at Turtle Cove. We are looking forward to returning in the future. Thanks again Denise.
Message to Evolve, for 6455 W Richard Dr.With family and friends we have rented waterfront properties on Weeki Wachee River several times, and this home is one of the very best if not the best property that we've ever seen!The decorations as "Turtle Cove" are done with style and artful taste; there is a decorated and lit Christmas tree, plants, turtle decals, statues, both indoors and outside are really cute, upbeat, and just lovely!Several bottles of nice assortment of wine where waiting for our arrival as a pleasant surprise!There is helpful assortment of many spices, coffee, condiments, and cleaning supplies, as well as high-quality cutlery, utensils, and all other necessities in the kitchen.Bathroom, personal hygiene and other supplies for guest use (in case you forgot any) were great, from toothpaste and brushes, to threads and needles, to all things you may need – what a great and caring idea!The house itself and all amenities are updated and maintained with meticulous and generous attention – it deserves our highest appreciation! Water quality in the canal was very good, it was clear and we have seen many fish, turtles and manatees. At the end of the canal near the house, there is a nightly operated fountain, which is nicely lit and adds to the charm of the place. The docks are very well maintained and are easy and convenient to use for kayaking and fishing.Proximity to Weeki Wachee river is great, and we paddled there every day.Five stars property!!!
