Wonderful Week!
Candice was great to work with and everything with reservation and check in went so smoothly. The house is small but very well done and equipped with everthing you'd need for a stay on the river! The house was clean and comfortable.The kayaks were a huge asset, and it was so nice to have floaties and water toys for the kids. The location was great and quiet, even on a terribly busy day on the river. The manatees liked the quiet spot too! We enjoyed our stay and Weeki Wachee will always hold special memories for us!

Perfect location - access to River and Gulf
The location of this property is great. The views from the back are of the Weeki Wachi preserve making for a private sit out on the back porch. Very easy access to the gulf, should you want to venture that way and even easier access to the River. There are stairs set up to the river concrete shelf to make for easier access to kayaks, etc.... I love being able to walk out the door and be on the water in 2 minutes

About the host

My husband and I have two beautiful kids. We love to travel, go boating, paddle boarding, dogs, good local food, and anything with some adventure!

Why they chose this property

I have been an avid traveler all my life and with so many places to see there was never any plan to visit the same place twice. Fast forward to marrying my husband and birth (2) beautiful kids together my family fell so much in love with the Weeki Wachee River that year after year it was a requested trip. I mean where else can you snorkel with manatees, swim nearly year-round, see live mermaids, and more?! So, we now enjoy the area more and enjoy being able to share the house with other families in attainable way so that they, too, can experience the unique awesomeness that resides in Weeki Wachee, FL

What makes this property unique

The Weeki River Den's location is what makes it special. Across from the preserve (not a backyard), 5 minute paddle to the open Gulf of Mexico, and on one of, if not THE most, peaceful stretches of the river. Being so close to the Gulf means more manatee action along with other wildlife not commonly seen further down river; such as dolphins. While we offer the same staples other rentals do we also offer more unique items such as an 18ft floating mat and giant novelty floats for other water enjoyment besides just kayaks and fire pits, but we have those too ;)
