We love Lisa & Mike's place. The canal is clear and swimmable. We see manatees, turtles and dolphins on our late spring visits right from the dock. The nearly ground level home is great for us 70 year olds as is the easy walk to the dock. The house is surprisingly spacious and comfortable for sleeping and visiting. This is our second stay here- a year apart and we couldn't have chosen a better place for location and cost. Thank you Mike & Lisa!

Worked out great for two couples and a dog ! Each family had enough room and the retractable leash hanging by the front door was a pleasant surprise! Loved that the backyard was fenced!

The issues w/ this place are the steps. The front door steps are wobbly w/ no railing. Both bedrooms in front have steps about 1 ft high. To get out back/ to 3rd bedroom another huge step. None of these steps are to code. The back dock also has no railing. If you are older and/or have mobility problems this is NOT the place for you.

Great short stay while visiting family.

Great stay!

We had 2 adults and 6 grandchildren and had a blast. The house was very clean and was very well supplied with games and all the necessities (except we could have used more pillows and blankets) and the AC was ice cold! The kids really enjoyed the kayaks and swimming and jumping off the dock into the canal. It’s very conveniently located near Weeki Wachee, the bowling alley and all the good places to eat.

Annual Family Vacation

This is our second time staying at this property and we had a great time. Our favorite spot would be the covered dock where we fished, swam, manatee watched, and enjoyed the week.

Fabulous vacation

One of our favorite vacation spots ever! We enjoyed kayaking, we rented GoBoats, and enjoyed the Weeki wachee state park which was just down the road. The last night on our dock we actually saw a dolphin swim by. We also saw lots of manatees, turtles and birds. We really enjoyed how close this property was to the really clear water. The house was PERFECT, VERY CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE.

The location is awesome, super convenient to get to the river. Plenty of room for 3 teens and two adults. We used all the kyacks. One filled up a bit with water so we were glad there were others to use instead. Had a great trip, would rent this again, and we loved being able to bring the dog with us.

We had a lovely long weekend here. It was clean and as advertised. We loved having the kayaks available to venture out on the canals and the river. We brought a couple of paddleboards too—the kids spent a lot of time on the water! Thanks for a lovely stay.

This was the first i heard of this. You didn’t communicate this with us. I wish you did and I knew which “boats” you are talking about. We recently replaced the double kayaks and the singles were fine. Which boats?

Location was perfect for kayaking

If your looking for easy access to the river this place is perfect. It was super clean and had everything you need in the kitchen and bath including plenty of towels. The back yard can use some TLC but nothing that was problem-some to us. Would not hesitate to book again if needed.
