We had the best time staying on the river! The house was nice and the owners were super responsive and accommodating! We saw so many manatees by the dock and even 2 dolphins! Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent place to stay
Everything was perfect! The house has anything you could possibly need. The location is perfect, within walking distance of a restaurant and the park where you can swim and put in kayaks/paddleboards. We took the kayaks up to Weeki Wachee state park and kayaked all the way down to the house (about 4 hours). Would love to stay there again!
We absolutely loved our stay at the river house ! Both the adults and kids had a wonderful time! We loved kayaking and hanging out by the river!! This house was so perfect!! It was super clean, very functional and totally comfortable!! We can’t wait to book a future trip here !

Great stay
My family and I stayed here for nine days. The house is beautiful and is a great location for both the main spring and the gulf. The hosts are great and responsive. We had nine adults and three children staying here and there was plenty of space for all. We saw manatees, dolphins, endless fish, turtles, otters and more! An amazing vacation for both adults and kids at Weeki Wachee River Retreat!
This home was perfect. This wasn’t the kind of place that was just ok it’s great. Very classy.

Perfect Family Retreat
The beautifully decorated River Home was a perfect retreat for our family. Everyone had a clean, comfortable bedroom, lots of room to socialize and relax, and a peaceful view of a variety of wildlife. Some chose to kayak, some hung out on the pier and the porch, and others loved the retro gaming console. The four bathrooms are a wonderful amenity, as well as the secondary kitchen area. The owners are incredibly accommodating and thoughtful. We were so happy to stay at this home for a second time, and we hope to stay here again in the future. It’s awesome!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! ❤️
It was truly a pleasure welcoming your family back to Weeki Wachee River Retreat for a second stay. Knowing that the home provided a comfortable and relaxing space for everyone—from kayaking on the river and enjoying the wildlife to gathering together on the porch and enjoying the retro games—means so much to us.
We’re especially grateful for your kind words about our accommodations and thoughtful touches. As hosts, our goal is to create a place where families can slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories together. We’re so glad the retreat was able to provide a peaceful escape for your family during the holidays, especially with little ones and tired parents needing some extra rest and relaxation.
Thank you for choosing to spend your Christmas with us. Guests like you are the reason we love hosting! We look forward to welcoming your family back for a third visit and many more memories on the river in the years ahead.

Annual Family Vacation
This home was able to comfortably accommodate our large family of 10 adults and 2 children with plenty of privacy for everyone! We enjoyed the river every single day! The location of this home is just perfect. The house was clean and everything was in working order. It was a wonderful vacation for us!
This home is beautifully decorated and very clean. There was plenty of room for our family to enjoy time together inside as well as on the outdoor porch, the firepit seating area and the dock. The beds were comfortable and there were enough bathrooms for all. It is a prime location for enjoying the river and wildlife. We saw manatee every day--one came right up to our dock! We would definitely stay here again.
Absolutely beautiful home on the clear waters of Weeki Wachee river. Location was fun and perfect. The house was spacious, clean, comfy beds, with all the necessities. We will definitely be renting again. Thank you for allowing others to share your river house.

Another successful, relaxing and fun girls trip had at the Weeki Wachee River House. This place never disappoints. We love all the visits from wildlife everyday. Dolphins, manatees and otters this trip. So conveniently located to boat rental and restaurants and you can’t beat the river right out back. See you soon River house. We will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful time. The house is perfect for our extended family. Plenty of room and great amenities. Great area by the river. Very comfortable, very convenient, able to see many manatees going up and down the river. Strongly recommend for a relaxing and refreshing vacation.
love love this wonderful home. Very comfy, easy to operate all the TV's and beautiful views
We loved this space would recommend to anyone who is looking for a quiet easy to operate lovely home, here is your space!
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay here we loved our time here.
Family vacation with 3 generations. Everyone had fun from 8-65 yrs. Huge house and the kids loved that they had their own space in basement with 2nd kitchen, bathroom and even Pac-Man game. We used several of the kayaks and brought 2 boats. Nice grills and a propane fire pit with seating by the water. Very well stocked and tons of spices for cooking!
If you are looking for the perfect family get away spot for a group…This is it. Three levels of well decorated clean comfort. The view from the porches is wonderful. There are so many things available to keep everyone entertained. We particularly enjoyed the under dock lights at night. So many fish were there to observe in the illuminated crystal clear water. Manatee swam right up to us while we were swimming during the day. We took a beautiful sunset paddle in the kayaks. There is a tiki bar within walking distance if you’d like some music and cocktails. The people watching from the vantage point of the dock was fun as well. Check in and out went smoothly. Communication was flawless. We had an issue with the washer as we were leaving, and they accommodated us with no problem. I can’t say enough about this place and how well managed it is. We hope to make this a yearly destination and eagerly look forward to returning.

Amazing!
Perfect location. Beautiful home, so spacious. We saw Manatee swim right up to the dock. We really enjoyed swimming, the kayaks, and the atmosphere in general! The hosts responded to issues immediately (our fault, not theirs). There are plenty of towels and all the tools you need for cooking. If you want some delicious appetizers and an icy cocktail… you can walk to a tiki bar. Far enough away that you don’t hear it, but close enough to be a fun stroll. The night light on the dock showcases the fish and crabs you can’t see during the day. Our family can’t wait to get back to enjoy it all again!

My Birthday Weekend was so much fun!
Stayed at this gorgeous property this past weekend for my birthday! I was so comfortable, it was like being home! A+ amenities all around. Great places to eat nearby….you will NOT be disappointed with your stay here!! Thanks for the hospitality, Weeki Watchee River Retreat!
This was the perfect place for our family of 8 adults and 1 toddler. The house is beautiful and easily accessible. Plenty of room to separate when needed (especially with a noisy 2 year old) and common areas for dinner time. The river is right out your back door with plenty of manatee sightings each day. The kayaks worked great and the dock was a great place to fish.
