Backyard oasis close to Weeki Wachee paradise!

Absolutely loved our stay! The backyard is like a private resort!! We had a question at check in and Avanti was quick to respond.Spent a day at Weeki Wachee and drove up to Crystal River to swim with manatees another day. Loved Silver Dolphin and Bayport Inn for dinners.

Vacay

The property was beautiful. The marina across canal was bustling with activity daily. Just 1 small issue with ice maker not working and freezer not cold.

A GEM!

Fell in LOVE with this little charmer! It’s overall fantastic—even the neighbors were great. We just wish we had more time to use the many outdoor amenities it offered. In all our years of VRBO, we’ve never had a home so WELL stocked!! Will definitely be back—thank you
