We had an amazing time staying here! We’ve paddle boarded in the area before, but this was our first time actually staying nearby, and it made the whole experience even better. Being able to grab a kayak right from the property and paddle out to the river to explore was such a highlight.The house itself was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The check-in process was smooth and easy, and we really appreciated how simple the checkout instructions were as well.Overall, this was the perfect spot for a fun and relaxing getaway, and we would absolutely stay here again!

Our stay was very comfortable and the home was immaculate. Had everything we needed. Getting to Weeki Wachee river from the house by kayak takes 20 min, so keep this in mind when calculating your paddle timing and stamina. Though it’s not clear, like the river, the canal had no current and is shaded the whole way. Really enjoyed our stay and recommend WikeePalace!

We had a wonderful time. The property is as pictured. The boys fished while we paddled in the springs for our time there. We launched from Weeki Wachee state park and we were able to float down stream back to the house. The home was very clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The host was very responsive. We would book this spot again. If you love the springs and be g outdoors but still want a clean comfy place to stay this is it!

We had such a wonderful stay in your waterfront home. You made the space so incredibly comfortable, welcoming, and perfect for relaxing. We had gorgeous day kayaking on the beautiful Weeki Wachee River and swimming in the warm clear water—it was such a fun and beautiful experience. After a full day of paddling, the outdoor space was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a peaceful afternoon nap. Everything about the stay made it easy to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The host communicated extremely well and made check in very easy. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Weeki Wachee. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED! I stayed here with my two kids during their spring break and we had the best time. This is the sweetest property in a great location. Jamison and Rachel are excellent hosts who have thought through all the little details. Even though the weather ended up being colder than we had initially expected, we were still able to make the best of our trip and filled our days with kayaking, fishing from the dock, and roasting marshmallows over the firepit. This was the perfect way to spend a few days in nature and making priceless memories with my children! Thank you, Jamison and Rachel!

Beautiful home with exceptional cleanliness, comfortable beds, awesome nespresso machine, cute décor and high-quality kayaks that made exploring the water a highlight. The outdoor spaces are well designed, peaceful, and perfect for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. The property is well maintained and thoughtfully set up, making the entire stay smooth, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed getaway. Kayaking up stream on the river torwards the weeki state park was breathtaking but the current is very strong to paddle against. We only made it so far before turning around and cruising the current back. Definitely coming back to explore more of the area. The owner was excellent at communicating throughout the experience.
