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 LOVED OUR STAY

Everything was just as promised. Kelly, our host, was very gracious and had everything we could need for us to really enjoy our stay. There were more than enough kayaks, and a canoe. The sleeping arrangements worked perfectly for us. Kelly is very friendly and will make your stay a good one. We really did enjoy our stay with them!

Kayaks Lovers

If you love to kayak and you have a group that needs 4 bedrooms this is a great place to stay. 2 great floating docks and you can swim in the canal that goes into Weeki Wachee. Well supplied house. Super nice attentive hosts. Lots of floats, toys, kayaks, canoes, Manatees swimming with a baby up and down the canal. Great getaway spot.

Amazing Property!!! Amazing Hosts!!!!

What an incredible experience all the way around. The hosts were kind and very attentive. The property was fully stocked with all the amenities. Everything we could possibly have needed it was there. We had a great experience out on the water got to see manatees and enjoy swimming in the springs. Just a great experience all around, so happy we will definitely be back.

Great summer vacation

We loved the property and location. It was a short paddle to the hot dog boat and the clear water of the springs. The home was clean and the owners are very responsive. If we had questions or comments we would get a response immediately. The home was stocked with towels, paper towels, toilet paper, soap, shampoo and conditioner. We had a blast, thank you so much Kelly!

Wonderful location

We were a little concerned given a hurricane had just went through a few days prior, but everything was perfect. Dave reached out a few days in advance to reassure us that they were prepared and didn’t expect any issues from the storm. When we arrived everything was perfect, you wouldn’t have even known there was a hurricane a couple days prior. Plenty of kayaks, canoes, and life jackets and the weather was perfect. The kids loved the playing on the lily pad mat. We were able to watch the mullet jumping, see turtles, manatees and even a dolphin swimming through the canal right from the dock. We really enjoyed our stay here and can’t wait to come back.

Wonderful Visit

What a house! We were a family of five visiting grandparents in Florida for Easter but wanted a little bit of natural fun. Paddlers Point was the perfect house for us. The house was clean, spacious and had EVERYTHING! Half of the things I brought we didn't need. Kelly made sure our 17 hour drive to FL did not include an immediate visit to Publix. It was so nice not to have to worry about shampoo or soap or and bringing enough towels. The beds were super comfortable as for the many pillows and blankets (it was cold in Florida!). The house opens up to such a great patio with two great picnic tables and chairs. We were able to host Easter dinner with plenty of places to eat and socialize. My kids LOVED the pool table/air hockey table. The dog run was perfect for our dogs too! The best part is the many canoes and kayaks that were provided for row down the Weeki Wachi River. It's only a short ride down to the clear, beautiful water of the springs to see the manatees. I also thought this location was so much quieter than the rest of the area. Kelly was great host, checking in with me the day of our arrival and checked in with us throughout our stay. If your staying in Weeki Wachi, this is the house to go too!

Beauty and wonder with treasured memories that will last a lifetime

The owners are wonderful and have awesome communication and check in was very easy. The kitchen was filled with plenty of cups, plates, utensils, etc and cooking supplies. All the kitchen appliances, grill and washer and dryer worked great and there was all the cleaning supplies you needed. There was plenty of kayaks and life jackets even for the little ones and the floating mat was a hit! The house has plenty of space and so fun with a very homey feel and the owners provided lots of information about the area. We kayaked the river and the water is breath taking and the kids loved the adventure. I do suggest going early though because it does get packed pretty quickly. We also got to see manatees one morning. We created so many wonderful memories together and are beyond words grateful to the owners for sharing their beautiful home with us to make that possible.

Family summer trip

Overall great family trip. Pictures are accurate and the location on the water is great. Plenty of room in the home. And plenty Tables and chairs out side. Fire pit for roasting smores. Felt safe walking our dog in the neighborhood. Plenty of kayaks with paddles and life jackets for our group of 8.Only down side was the pool table - air hockey table was broken and unable to be used. Family was looking forward to using it and it did rain in the afternoons, which would have been a great time to use them since we couldn’t go on the water. Great, fast communication with the host.

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!

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!

A Great Retreat From Devices

If Kayaking, boating, fishing or plain relaxing is what you want this is the place. Close to the Weeki Wachee River, the ride there on the canal showed us Dolphin, tons of Turtles and Manatee. Can’t help but be mindful looking at the water in the yard. Make a fire and relax outside. In the middle of everything with super responsive and helpful hosts this vacation was a home run!

Lovely and Fun Property

Our stay (extended family of 9) was wonderful thanks to being in a well appointed, convenient home! Kelley and David were wonderfully responsive to any inquiries and requests. Plenty of water crafts, convenient outdoor seating, and during our week there were a couple of manatees hanging out in the canal! A great time was had by all.
