About this property

Neptune's Old Florida Adventure Retreats presents "The Chubby Mermaid"! A newer manatee themed 3/2 waterfront home on a pristine canal just yards away from the Weeki Wachee River. Manatees frequent the canal year round. It sits amid towering old trees, directly across the street from a nature preserve and its large 28' porch overlooks the water. Canoe and kayaks are included. Ideally located so close to the river yet without the crowds of kayakers constantly passing by, you'll enjoy the Old Florida charm and peace offered here.
The space
Pet friendly with a non-refundable pet fee. Included in your stay is a canoe, a tandem kayak and three single kayaks. Weeki Wachee offers crystal clear river kayaking directly from our home. Going upriver offers nature on both riverbanks with the spring about 4 miles upstream while going down river has homes on the right bank and Hospital Hole and Rogers park about a mile downstream. The Weeki Wachee Springs State Park offers the historic mermaid show, a wildlife show, short river cruise on a large pontoon boat and the Buccaneer Bay waterpark, and a kayak rental or put in for those wanting to paddle down from the headspring. There are nearby boat ramps, Pine Island Beach, and boat rentals in Hernando Beach for Gulf boating or scalloping, all within a 10 minute drive. There is a SUP rental right on our street.
Other things to note
Pets are welcome with a non-refundable $100 pet fee.
