LIVING ROOM
The house has an open floor plan with a spacious living room with 2 comfortable couches, cable T.V., and a small 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 queen 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 5 kayaks, paddles, and life vests; and one of the kayaks is a perfect size for younger/smaller people to try out on the water. Kayak leashes are provided and two of the kayaks have GoPro mounts. Sit back and relax in the river with one of the floating chairs that is provided watching to see if a manatee will swim by.

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 fish from and 2 crab traps. (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 up river 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.

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.

The canal we stayed in is super clear with manatees literally EATING UNDER THE DOCK. It’s super quiet as well which we really like. Really close the the main river as well. 10/10 this home!

Better Than Last Year!
I brought along my brother and his wife for Thanksgiving and they did not want to leave!! The house is amazing and smells marvelous!! Aside from it being unexpectedly colder than last year, we had a great time. We didn't get a chance to kayak because it was rainy but we did get a glimpse at a couple of manatees. I was just happy to get another opportunity to stay at this lovely little home.

Great River Cabana Retreat
Great place with everything you need for your stay. Loved the updated appliances and the kitchen was full stocked to cook any meal. Kayaks were ok. Could use a couple new ones for the fleet. Would love to see a bigger fan on the porch in the future. Definitely will book again.

Great location
Great place, I’ve stayed here before but with different owners. It’s just as I remembered, upgraded furniture but basically the same! The house is perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway! Watch out for utensils left in grill, we were charged because it melted on the grill! We were unaware that it was in the grill until it was to late. But great place, and has everything you need.

Not a good vacation
House is located in a good spot. But inside bathrooms need repairs both floors are rotting because of water damage. Refrigerator wasnt working when we arrived still was broken when we left. Had to cut our stay a day short because eating out every meal was getting to expensive. Wood decking out back has multiple spots where wood is coming up and screws are exposed. o On one of docks it is missing entire planking . River is way over crowed and hard to kayak on it. Plus you about get ran over by motor powered boats. Majority of the people on the river are drinking alcohol or smoking weed. Wouldn't go back here on another vacation here again.

Riverside Cabana
Let me just tell you how amazing this place was for our family. They literally have everything you could possibly need to make your stay PERFECT. We had zero stress, and an absolutely amazing time. We have stayed on the river previous times at different places and this is by far our favorite. We hope the owners will have us back because we LOVE LOVE LOVED it. The power did go out so we left super early the last day but that’s no one’s fault. Also the air was super comfortable it would get the place the exact temperature you wanted it. The paddle out was so enjoyable too. Pulling up to the riverside cabana we knew this was the place for us they have the cutest landscaping decor with two kayaks sticking out of the ground. So adorable. Just the cutest touches but not overdone. This is the place to stay for sure.

Weeki Wachee stay
We had a blast here. They had everything we needed for a sun-filled river getaway. It's a short kayak paddle to the spring water. It is probably about 2 river miles to get to Rogers park and the Upper Deck but once you know where you are going, it is a fun, easy paddle. Chris was a responsive host. The place is well stocked- with the exception of toilet paper, we did run out. Other than that, no complaints!

Cute little house!
We loved staying at this house. It was cute and just the right size for us — two adults and two teenagers. It was wonderful to have kayaks supplied. The only thing that we had a little trouble with was the air conditioner in the living room. It was a little difficult to see the controls because they were so high up so it might be helpful to have a remote control to use with it. We would recommend it to anyone!

A little slice of paradise
This property is the perfect little rental. Unfortunately we were here due to a family emergency and didn't get to enjoy the kayaks but we couldn't have asked for a better rental and experience. The property is perfect for a small group and is very clean and one of the most well-equipped rentals I've experienced. We travel a lot and have stayed in a lot of rental homes. This one is well organized with everything you could need and conveniently labeled. The beds are comfy with plenty of extra bedding and thermostats you can easily adjust and control. The location is extremely convenient and the outdoor area is great. We loved the screened in back porch and the outdoor area with plenty of room to relax and hangout. The check in and out process was easy and the host was very responsive to our questions. Even though we weren't here under the best circumstances, we enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come back here again and 100% recommend this property.

The owner is completely unreasonable. There’s a lot that needs to fixed for safety reasons a
I really wanted to say good things about this place. Weeki Wachee river is definitely a place to visit, but not here. The owner filed a damage report for a dent in the refrigerator that we did not cause. A high cost for a new refrigerator. I never noticed a dent until I looked through pictures I took after I left the house. The dent was caused by the front door being opened. However we know we didn’t open the door in anyway to cause damage to the fridge. Upon our stay the owner had movers move in a couch while we were not there. Which makes sense that the movers caused the dent moving in a large couch. For some reason we are responsible, and it’s extremely upsettting not to hear back from the owner about this. He claimed we left the place a mess which is a lie. I swept, washed laundry, washed dishes, and wiped the place down I did what I could. I even left unopened condiments for future guests apparently that’s considered “leaving trash everywhere”. Yes we had a ton of trash to throw away we stayed a whole week and cooked, and drove 20 miles so it all need to be thrown out.
