About this property

Barbies Dream House Kayaks, Paddle board & Fenced yard

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway.
The weeki wachee and gulf is within a few mins drive. The property is very relaxing and uniquely exciting at the same time directly on the fresh water canal. It is a beautiful pink octagon-shaped home with a spiral staircase that leads to the master bedroom isolated on the 3rd floor with spectacular views of the gulf! Sunrise and sunset are amazing from atop this perch! There is freshwater access with a dock, complete with a ladder for swimming in the clear blue spring water, as well as separate steps to load up on kayaks or a paddleboard (located on the property for use). The kitchen, living room and both bedrooms have USB outlets for charging electronics. There is a queen bed in the master, full in the second bedroom, a pull out queen sofa, a twin size blow-up mattress and a playpen. There are two restaurants located on the canals to paddle too and access can be gained to the ocean with a walk over a bridge. At night guests can enjoy the Adirondack chairs beside the water or sit inside the screened-in porch area for a nightcap or cup of coffee.

The neighborhood is quiet and safe and is perfect for walking or biking. That main road has sidewalks for walking or biking around the entire community.

The property is down the street from the bait shop, boat rental and fishing charters. There is a lot of shopping. There are numerous grocery and clothing stores within 5 miles, a fresh seafood store within walking distance and we also have two convenient stores locally. If your tastes lean toward more upscale eating choices, Brian's Place has a fabulous mixture of Cuban/Italian Fusion entrees, incredible desserts, and periodic local live music with dancing on the outdoor patio. The Old Port Cove restaurant is also fantastic. It has a huge outdoor boat-shaped bar with numerous tables overlooking the water. The restaurant has a unique blend of both upscale dining choices, or sit outside by the water, watch the turtles surface for food, and relax and enjoy a hamburger and a beer. Turtle watching is a must at the Cove and we have seen many gators there! The Cove also has live music on weekends and plenty of space to kick off your shoes and dance.

Other local restaurants are "The Upper Deck", located right on the Weeki Wachee River and "The Bayport Inn", both 3-5 miles away. There are your typical and popular chain restaurants, including Cheddars, Applebee's, Chili's, Ruby Tuesday, Bonefish Grill, Five Guys, etc. If you are a veteran, VFW Post 9236 is within walking distance and it has a cool outdoor deck on the water. It is also accessible by boat or Kayak.

The property is located less than 2 hours away from Orlando and all the major attractions including Disney, Epcot, Universal, and Waterparks. Head an hour or so south, and you have the best white sandy beaches in the USA. About an hour south, there is Caladesi Island, Honeymoon Island, and Fort DeSoto Park. Head north and in less than an hour, you will discover beautiful Homosassa and Crystal River. What's nearby

This place is great!

We visited to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and had the best time. It is cute, comfy, clean, spacious, and stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed mornings by the dock, afternoons kayaking the canals, and evenings on the porches. Barbie’s Dream House is even better in person. We cannot say enough good things about the house and property. Jennifer was super quick with any questions we had. The location is perfect! So many restaurant choices within a quick drive or even walk. Other local attractions and cute beach towns are an easy drive away. We flew into Tampa and within 45 mins we were at the Barbie Dream House. We can’t wait to come again, maybe with our 8 year old next time.
