Our host was very helpful. The house had everything anyone needs. We loved the screen in porch and patio/dock areas. Kayaking was great fun and we could see fish and the bottom in some spots. The house was also extremely clean. Great kitchen appliances. The beds were very comfortable. I highly recommend this property and host.

We had an amazing stay! The host was incredibly kind & responsive. The house was beautiful, very clean, and actually felt much larger than the photos suggest. The extra touches really made a difference—from the welcoming snack package, to the well-stocked kitchen, and extra towels/blankets. We also loved having access to multiple kayaks, SUP, canoes, and even a swim mat (my favorite)! Looking forward to coming back, this is our new favorite home in Weeki Wachee!

The property was exactly as described. The host always kept in communication and went overboard to assist us with whatever we needed. This home offers the perfect setup for a relaxing getaway. The house itself was secure and well-maintained. We spent most of our time on the deck, which came equipped with plenty of floats and other outdoor fun things. The location was perfect, you're close to the main Weeki Wachee river as well as the Gulf. Great Value considering everything included.We plan to go back one day!!

We had the best time at this property! We loved it! The house was so clean and beautiful. Fully stocked and my son loved all the snacks they provided for us. So many kayaks and paddle boards to choose from. The water mat was the best. The location is wonderful and close to the park and other areas that we love to kayak to. We saw many manatees early in the morning from the dock. The host was so great and answered any questions and was available at any time. We did not want to leave. We will definitely be back to stay again. Thank you!

Deron and Johanna were terrific hosts! They had the place perfectly set up before we got there and allowed us to check in early!The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described—if not better.Deron was exceptional: friendly, responsive, and genuinely committed to ensuring we had a great experience. Communication was seamless, and they provided a binder that was helpful and recommended a few places to eat and play. That made our trip even more enjoyable.The location was perfect, offering easy access to everything we wanted to see and do while still providing a relaxing and peaceful retreat. We truly felt at home during our stay.We enjoyed the place so much we ended up not even going anywhere and we just swam and kayaked up and down the river.Thank you again for being so accommodating! We highly recommend staying here and plan to do so again next year when we come back!

Fin & Tonic exceeded our expectations! Cute, clean and very well equipped; it felt like home! We loved swimming off the dock and using the various kayaks and SUP boards to get around the river! Manatees were a daily sight, either right from the dock or on our river adventures. Highly recommend. Owner (?), Deron, was very friendly and reachable should we have had any questions. Our top two recommendations would be 1) visit Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, to see the mermaids and swim in the spring-fed lagoon and waterpark… and 2) dine at The Silver Dolphin, fantastic food and friendly service with a quaint yet quirky 'diner-meets-secret-garden' kinda vibe.
