My friends and I had a lovely time, just wish we could have stayed longer. Home was very clean and completely charming. We really appreciated the extra decor and attention details.
Recently traveled as one family of a large group renting several Weeki houses on the same street. The little Spring Retreat was my favorite of all of the houses! The layout and amenities were so perfectly set up for a family to enjoy. Location was perfect. And the host is the best. So informative and responsive. We loved our time spent here and would absolutely revisit!
We loved our stay at your home. Thank you for being welcoming hosts and providing not just a home to stay but also so many entertainment options to keep our children engaged for several days.
My family and my friends family had a wonderful stay. The location was great and the home was just perfect for all of us. Our 8 year old boys LOVED the theater and the water pad. There were so many kayaks to use and the shed was filled with all that you need. We will definitely be back.Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We made wonderful memories!
Everything was perfect! The property was super clean, so many amenities and nice touches, everything worked-really an awesome stay and perfectly located!
Right on the canal that leads to weeki wachee, one of Florida's most beautiful springs. Check in was simple management near property for any reason. You will not need anything, the home is so thoughtfully stocked! More than most. The kayaks are so convenient there is a ramp to the water for ease of launch. This property is on a canal so it's a little more private and just a short paddle to the main river. Crystal clear waters and fun folks along the way. You will happy and comfortable in this waterfront home! Thank you for the lovely stay in your beautiful home Carolyn. Thank you VRBO : )
Our stay was great. We rent yearly. This property specifically the back yard was the best. They thought of everything. Down to phone protection cases for the river. They went above and beyond to include extras in the house such as spices etc and were very accessible with any questions. The kayaks were great. The hybrid ones were a little more difficult to control against the water. But truly wonderful stay. The movie theater was great as well.
I did have trouble pulling up the email with instructions for getting into the house because of reception but got the code with a phone call. Maybe a text that morning with directions would help.

About the host
Hosted by Carolyn Finlayson
I live in Miami where I work too much. My family and I found Weeki Wachee 18 years ago and I was finally able to buy our dream home. My kids and I put a lot of love into the house and added a lot of thoughtful and personal touches because one day soon we will move up there. We just love the people and the nature of this perfect town that has a simple city lifestyle, the intriguing history of the Indians and the mermaids plus it all surrounded by nature. There is so much to do and the people are just so friendly. The wildlife and sunsets are so peaceful. We really like sharing this experience with all our guests.
What makes this property unique
The movie theater was once a big shed and with some imagination and a great team of carpenters and electrician, we made such a fun little house! Our canal is the widest and deepest in the neighborhood and it is all spring water, not brackish. We love jumping in off of the dock!
