About this property

Waterfront w access to the Weeki Wachee River & Gulf of Mexico - Dog Friendly!

PROMO 5% WEEKLY AND 10% MONTLY DISCOUNT.
Come and have a relaxing stay at the Weeki Wachee Riverside Cabana. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom house sits on a deep-water canal that connects with the Weeki Wachee river and has access to the Gulf of Mexico. There are a total of 6 kayaks w/ paddles and life jackets for guests to use. Pet friendly with a $75 fee per dog. Come and experience Weeki Wachee with its unspoiled views and timeless backdrop for a one-of-a-kind vacation. An affordable getaway to enjoy all of Weeki Wachee and close enough to so many other fabulous attractions that Florida has to offer.

LIVING ROOM
The house has an open floor plan with a spacious living room with 2 comfortable couches, smart T.V., and a computer workstation with high-speed WI-FI available to connect your devices to the internet.

KITCHEN/DINING ROOM
The kitchen and inside dining area are next to the living room. The kitchen has all new basic appliances to include Keurig pod/pot coffee maker, tea kettle, blender, skillet, crockpot, large boiling pot, and toaster oven. Other basic amenities include paper towels, an assortment of pod coffees, and basic spices. The dining table sits 4-7.

BEDROOMS/BATHROOMS
The Master bedroom has a king size bed with a master bath. The master bath has a shower, and a laundry room closet with a brand-new washer and dryer, and laundry detergent pods provided. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and is next to the common area bathroom that has a shower. Both bathrooms have a set of fresh towels.

KAYAKS
There are a total of 6 kayaks, paddles, and life vests; and one of the kayaks is a perfect size for younger/smaller people to try out on the water.

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING
Enjoy gathering outside in the screened in patio room overlooking the water with a dining table that sits 4. There is a gas grill for barbecuing and a firepit to gather around at night and share memories made from the day on the river while eating some yummy smores.

There are 3 docks that can be used to spot manatees as they swim by or try your luck at fishing from. (Florida State Fishing License May Be Required.)

RIVER ACTIVITIES
Launch into the water right from the backyard, with only a 5–10-minute paddle to the Weeki Wachee river. The river is family-friendly, perfect for wildlife viewing, and boasts some of the most beautiful scenery of any Florida waterway. The spring water stays a constant 72 degrees year-round, so it feels cool in the hot summer months and warm on a chilly winter day. Paddlers can take a break along the river and go for a dip, and various parts of the riverbank offer good stopping points for a picnic lunch. If you are a water-loving outdoors enthusiast, this river is a must. If you aren’t, you will be after a day on this river!

When you approach the Weeki Wachee River paddling from the house:

Turn right onto the river to get to Rogers Park and the Upper Deck restaurant, a popular spot to grab a drink and bite to eat while enjoying an elevated view of the water.

Or turn left to head towards the Weeki Wachee Springs State Park where you can see live mermaids perform. For anyone who prefers a guide; eco-tours are offered through the Weeki Wachee State Park and Boating in Florida. They will take tours upriver toward the headsprings while providing information about the surrounding flora and fauna, kayaking tips, and tips on river etiquette.

ADDITIONAL ATTRACTIONS
There are so many other amazing adventures that are just a hop, skip, and a jump from Weeki Wachee. Directly to the south about 50-60 miles is Tampa, Clearwater Beach, and St. Petersburg. Then to the east about 1.5 – 2 hours is Orlando and Cocoa Beach.

Relaxing Spring Break

We had a great few days for a long weekend spring break. We love being on the water and exploring the area. The house was clean with everything we needed. Thank you for allowing dogs, he enjoyed himself. We have stayed in the neighborhood before and loved coming back to the neighborhood. We enjoy old Florida feel and wildlife.

Wonderful getaway on the Weeki Wachee

The cottage was the perfect place to unwind for a few days. It was spotless, the kitchen was fully equipped, and everything we needed was right there. The location on a canal right off the river is ideal for short or long explorations of the river via kayak. We'll be staying again!!

Really cozy and clean and welcoming

Super cute little place with easy access to the river. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and rainy so we had to seek indoor activities. Hope to return, so that we can actually enjoy the paddling and the outdoors.

Spacious and beautiful on water

Chris was a five star host. Modified reservations for us, with absolutely no problems. His home is beautiful, a good bed, and we enjoyed the kayaks. You can kayak to a popular eating place called the upper deck. I would not hesitate to stay again.

First time Vrbo

This was a great little house with all the things you need to vacation on the springs. We enjoyed our time, the area was quiet and close to major stores if you forgot anything. I would definitely rent from Chris again in the future.

Wonderful House for Kayak Fun

The house was very clean and fully supplied with necessary items so we only needed to do grocery shopping for our specific tastes. The kitchen has labels on cupboards making it easy to find items and put them away. The kayaks were in good condition and we utilized them several times during our week-long visit. There was plenty of room for two couples.
