Fantastic Host

We have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and Kevin is by far the best host we have ever had! The home has everything you need. The home has lots of space. The canal in the back is nice. We saw lots of fish. Its a very quiet and nice neighborhood.

Great Family Getaway Location

The canal front property is great! It's conveniently located to the river and state park. We were able to launch the kayaks from the property's own boat ramp. We had everything we needed for a fun family getaway.

Cozy Spot on the Water

Very down home, old Florida neighborhood. Loved the boat ramp; made the water easily accessible, although it is VERY slippery down by the water. Quiet neighborhood, just a short kayak trip up the creek (or walk) to a local swimming hole. Cozy house, just needs a few updates. We had a very nice stay with the family. Spent most of our time on the water and enjoying the outdoor back yard and dock area.

Great First Time Experience

This was our first family vacation to Weeki Wachee. We were unsure about the areas that surrounded Palm Grove colony, but I’m very excited to say that Palm Grove colony has its own little treasure. With the kayaks and paddle boards that the owner provided at our house, we were able to explore the area and find a natural spring in the neighborhood. This natural spring is close to the local swimming hole which was beautiful. We were also about a 15 to 20 minute paddle to Weeki Wachee springs. We were able to experience paddling with a mother dolphin and her baby, watching them Hunt in the mud River, and we were also able to paddle with tons of manatees. If you are looking for a more quiet approach to vacation, this is the perfect spot for you, however, if you want to be in the middle of all the action, I would recommend getting closer to Weeki Wachee springs. Kevin was an amazing host and he was available at all times. There was a small issue at the house that I needed to contact him about and he was very fast at getting back with me and fixing the issue immediately without hindering our vacation.

Amazing Memories

It was truly an amazing stay! First time on the river and my kids want to go back already Beautiful location and wonderful quiet neighborhood. The neighbors were talkative and we all enjoyed a few laughs together Kevin was fantastic to speak with and we had a few problems which he instantly took care of. (Non of which was he or mine fault) His thoughtfulness of letting us know of the all of the sight seeing and places to eat was fantastic. This home was a home away from home. My family came down to stay with us the last day we were there& was memorized of the beauty there. Warm&inviting and if your looking to to a getaway with property you will not be disappointed. Thanks for all the memories and look forward to coming in the future.

Wonderful Place

Kevin was a good host and when we had issues, he called us right away. GPS could not seem to find his place. I sent him a message and he promptly called us. This was a trip with grandparents, parents and 3 kids ages 4, 7 and 9. When we first got to the house, they found manatees passing thru and a couple of dolphins. The 7 year old and his dad spent most of their time fishing. The kayaks were a hit for all of us and we used them more than once. All 3 kids slept in one bedroom and the adults took the other 2. There was more than enough room in the kids bedroom. The only negative was there was only 1 roll of toilet paper under the sinks and just a small amount of paper towels. I would have thought that was provided. But I admit, I didn't bother to ask and just went a bought some. If you are looking for a quieter place to stay off the beaten path, then this place is for you. If you are looking for something of a more party atmosphere, then look elsewhere. We were even able to meet some of the locals which was very nice. This was exactly what we were looking for. We were able to see a few of the sights but still relax and keep the kids occupied. Thank you Kevin!

Murky canal, and buggy/unmanaged back yard, dated interior with sloping floors

The property is on the drab side (e.g., old tile in main house bathroom; wall to wall dirty carpet). A few improvements could help: have someone blow the pollen off the back yard, change the bedding to white sheets, and have cold-not hot- water come out of the fridge dispenser). It was unpleasant to be outside and the pollen made a mess tracking it back in the house. The "new hot tub" is a blow up one that was dirty on arrival-likely from previous guests and pollen noted above. Not worth getting into, so disappointed we booked for this amenity. When we tried to clean it via the self cleaning feature, we then got an error and abandoned even using it. The canal is murky, and it was a haul to the Weeki Wache river. Doable, but not easy with little ones so we ended up driving to Rogers. There are rentals in this neighborhood that back up to a swimable canal/spring-fed river that we will look for next time. Was ok for the price and ok neighborhood.

Mermaid Splendor

The property was exactly as presented on VRBO. Kevin was a most gracious host and was immediately focused on any of our needs, which were minimal, during our stay. The house area is very peaceful and the neighbors quite friendly. You have backyard access to water for whatever you want to do. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful getaway!

The house is exactly as described- from super helpful with questions ahead of time to booking to check in/out- our experience was wonderful! The kitchen is well equipped and the beds were all comfortable. We loved the fenced in yard, the kayaks, firepit, fishing poles, games and hot tub. We visited in January so the water was cool- after a long paddle it was pretty dreamy jumping out of the boat and into the hot tub! We discovered a cut through over to the main river and hospital hole- about a 30 minute paddle. The paddle over to the local swimming hole was beautiful. Thank you for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Harris

Retired nature lover. First time to visit Weeki Wachee hooked me. I immediately bought a home , and now have three. All my vacation homes cater to completely different lifestyle needs. One home is in the quiet area with access to Mud River by Mary's Fish Camp. Has a boat ramp and very fast access to fishing and scalloping in the gulf. Another home has access to Weeki Wachee with a heated, salt water pool that is screened in. And the third is a super modern living home with beautiful king master suite and two levels that look over the canal with quick access to the Weeki Wachee river.

Why they chose this property

Much easier access to gulf for fishing and scalloping than homes directly on the Weeki Wachee River. Idle zone is only past the homes then safe speed can be utilized all the way to gulf.

What makes this property unique

Very nice dock for your boat. Ramp is perfect for smaller craft, but recommend high tide for launch. Super close to Bayport ramp as well as Pine Island Beach. Exceptionally quiet area that is very wooded and mature. A real ground level home for easy accessibility.
