Waterfront Front Row Seats to Nature’s Best Show
Hotel near Weeki Wachee Gardens
Imagine sipping coffee on the dock when a manatee glides up like it’s auditioning for the role of “Cutest Neighbor Ever.” It happens here. Often. Whatever you do, do not read the reviews to find out if we're telling the truth and what other amazing animals like to show up at our dock ;)
And if you don’t want wildlife sightings right off the backyard, this probably isn’t for you. But if you do… our kayaks are waiting, the yard is massive, and the fire pit is practically begging for marshmallows.
Our family-friendly waterfront home is a slice of Florida paradise, just a five-minute paddle to the crystal-clear, 72-degree waters of Weeki Wachee.
We love this place because it’s the best of both worlds—relaxing when you want it to be, and full of outdoor fun when you’re ready for it. Whether you’re here to kayak with MANATEES, fish off the dock, or just soak up the sunshine, this place is designed for making real memories with family and friends.
What You’ll Love About This Home:
**BIG Dock** – Perfect for fishing, launching kayaks, or just enjoying a morning coffee.
**Kayaks Included** – No need to rent! We’ve got **5 adult kayaks + 3 kid-sized ones** ready for adventure.
**Huge Yard & Fire Pit** – Room to play, grill out, or make s’mores under the stars.
**Unbeatable Location** – Close to parks, springs, and Weeki Wachee’s famous **mermaid show**!
**Space for the Whole Crew** – Sleeps up to 6 adults comfortably, or 8 with little ones.
---
Outdoor Fun Starts Here
This is the kind of place where memories just happen. Spend your days paddling down the river, grilling up fresh-caught fish, playing lawn games, or just kicking back on the dock** while mullet jump and manatees glide by.
At night, gather around the fire pit, tell stories, and watch the stars. (Pro tip: S’mores make everything better!)
Want to explore beyond the house? You’re just minutes from Weeki Wachee Springs, Pine Island Beach, and some of Florida’s best water adventures.
Oh, and don’t worry—restaurants, groceries, and anything else you need are just a short drive away.
---
Inside the House
We’ve set this place up to feel like home, but better.
- **Master Bedroom**: King bed (because everyone deserves a good night’s sleep).
- **Guest Room**: Queen bed + 2 convertible chairs that become a queen or two singles.
- **Living Room**: Cozy and open, perfect for movie nights or game time.
- **Fully Stocked Kitchen**: Everything you need to cook up a feast (minus the groceries).
- **Washer/Dryer**: Because no one wants to take home wet swimsuits.
---
Pet-Friendly (With a Few Rules)
We totally get it—pets are family. That’s why we allow one small dog (under 20lbs) with a **non-refundable $200 pet fee**. (Sorry, no cats!) If you have a special case, just reach out—we’re happy to chat.
---
A Few Things to Know
- **This is our family’s home away from home.** We ask that guests **treat it with the same love and care** we do.
- **We have 3 outdoor security cameras** in **public-facing areas only** (driveway and yard). This is just to keep trespassers away and ensure a safe stay.
- **Grills are available (gas & charcoal)**, but guests will need to provide their own propane/charcoal.

Ready to Make Memories?
This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s an experience.Whether you’re paddling, fishing, swimming, or just soaking up the Florida sunshine, this place is all about slowing down and soaking in the good stuff.
We’d love to host you—reach out with any questions!

Tiki Tropical Retreat - directly on the clear Weeki Wachee River (not a canal)
Hotel near Weeki Wachee Gardens
Enjoy the fresh waters directly from the Weeki Wachee Springs with accommodations for 4 to 7 guests. There's only so many houses located directly on the clear flowing waters of the Weeki Wachee River, and this is one of them. It's a wonderfully serene magical place with the ability to melt away the stresses of life. Enjoy time with your friends or let the kids experience the beauty of nature. Treat yourself to fun filled yet peaceful days on our little slice of paradise where the back yard extends to over 6 miles of clear pristine waters or out into the Gulf of America. Create some great memories, smiles and laughter with friends here on the River.
#1 Feature: DIRECTLY ON THE CLEAR WATERS OF THE WEEKI WACHEE RIVER We are directly on the crystal clear waters of the Weeki Wachee River! And we're literally one bend down river from Roger's Park and a few more paddles from to the famous "Hospital Hole" where the manatees congregate in droves. We are far enough down river that you are more likely to see manatees swim right by the house than most other properties... quite frequently actually! There's even a nice floating dock or narrow (9') boat ramp directly on the river to get you into the water for swimming or kayaking or boating - directly from the back yard. An added plus is the waterfront lanai. It's a great place to relax and take in the views of the river while enjoying a meal, to get shade or during the occasional rain showerif it's rain shower.
I am often asked if the water is clear where we are. Yes! The water is definitely crystal clear. I have another house just a few house down river and was literally swimming and cooling off while working outside, and a manatee came right up to me. I could see it's face in the water from 10 feet away and then it swam right under me rubbing my feet! Then, shortly after, a dolphin swam by as well... still amazes me to watch dolphins and manatees swim by.
#2 Feature: DEEPER WATERS We are located on a deeper part of the river for better fishing and tying your boat up - right from the back patio... and deep enough that you can literally jump in and do a cannon ball, enjoying the natural spring fed waters to keep you cool in the summer... or warm in the winter months. The water temperature is 74 degrees all year round!
#3 Feature: NATURE - LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Weeki Wachee River is an amazingly beautiful natural wonder! You have over 6 miles to boat, canoe or kayak up river, taking in the peaceful sounds of the water, birds and the wind blowing through the trees. You'll experience manatee on the river, more often than not, but that's not the extent of the amazing wildlife. We've watched a family of deer cross the river right in front of our kayaks - what a treat that was! We've sat and enjoyed river otters playing with each other like little kids. If you're lucky, you'll even spot an occasional dolphin enjoying the river... there's just something special about watching a dolphin swim right in front of the house. There are vast species of birds, like the wood storks, blue herons, egrets, bald eagles, ospreys, double-crested cormorant, but that's just the tip of the ice bird... the bird diversity is phenomenal with 273 native and 8 exotic species in the area.
#4 Feature: CLOSE TO THE GULF OF MEXICO If you travel down river, the Gulf of Mexico is just over a mile away. The short ride to the Gulf is worth it! The open views shouldn't be missed. And it goes without saying, the wonderfully diverse fishing options can keep any angler busy. So go intercoastal or deep sea fishing, scalloping (when in season), dolphin sightseeing, or just sit there and wait to watch the sunset without a single thing blocking your view.
#5 Feature: WEEKI WACHEE SPRINGS STATE PARK The world famous Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is a five mile drive away. Make sure to enjoy the mermaid show, it's great for kids and adults too. Don't miss the guided river boat tour, it's worth it. Buccaneer Bay is an add on ticket where the family can enjoy swimming - right next to the head of the spring, or relax on their white sand beach or have some fun speeding down the giant water slides.
#6 Feature: ALFRED A MCKETHAN PINE ISLAND PARK Alfred A McKethan Pine Island Park has a wonderful beach that's great for long walks, sunbathing, building sand castles, watching the sunset... you know, all of the beachy stuff. And it's less than a 10 minute drive.
