Weeki Wachee is our family's favorite place and this home is quintessential Weeki Wachee. It's quirky, but comfortable and embodies a unique charm. The hosts Kelly and Dave were excellent to work with and the home was well stocked with nice towels and some extra necessities. There are plenty of outdoor toys that will help make your stay a memorable one.

Angela - Thank you for taking my call regarding what we could've done better to earn a 5 star review. We take our guest satisfaction very seriously. While we are saddened that the only compliant you had was that our guest shower had too high of water pressure. Since this is a first for us, we're going to continue providing strong water pressure in our showers. We hope you will stay with us again in the future and give us another chance to earn 5 stars. :)

Was exactly what we were looking for! Perfect accommodations for 9 (2 couples, 3 boys, 2 girls) and close to Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. Enough kayaks and life jackets for all, as well as other amenities to keep the kids occupied and (mostly) off of the screens). Thanks!

We had the best 5 day vacation with family! Kelly was always super responsive before and during our vacation. We had 9 people and 3 dogs. The accommodations were clean, spacious and comfortable. Great location and fun water sports from the kayaking (which even the dogs loved), to the water mats, and highly suggest renting the water scooters, they’re pricey but a huge hit with the grands!There were only a few minor issues, a couple of the kayaks needed attention as they didn’t work properly and the keurig machine didn’t work, but they also have a regular coffee pot, both were brought to Kelly’s attention so I’m confident those will get tended to. Nothing to warrant reducing the 5 star given as everything truly was wonderful. Thanks for a great family trip that will go down in the books!

My wife and some friends stayed a long weekend for my birthdag and it was a great time! It was great being right down the way from the crystal clear water. It was nice and relaxing laying on the mat out in the sun. Definitely would recommend to others and will look forward to staying again in the future!

One of the best family trips we have taken in awhile! Location was good house was clean and just as described. Kayaked to the river and found the hotdog snack boat which was really cool! Manatees with babies were right off the dock and we dolphins went under our kayaks just as we were entering the river from the canal. Hosts were helpful and quick to answer any questions we had about the area.We will definitely be back!
