Don’t Book This House… Unless You’re Okay with Manatees Stealing the Show

Even though the calendar says fall, Florida is still serving up warm, sunny days—perfect for paddling, swimming, and soaking up nature before the cooler months arrive. September and October are some of the best times to experience Weeki Wachee: fewer crowds, manatees starting to return, and plenty of golden sunsets to enjoy from the dock. Ever dreamed of waking up to the sound of birds, a gentle river breeze, and the call of adventure right outside your door? Our family-friendly waterfront home is a slice of Florida paradise, just a five-minute paddle to the crystal-clear, 72-degree waters of Weeki Wachee. We love this place because it’s the best of both worlds—relaxing when you want it to be, and full of outdoor fun when you’re ready for it. Whether you’re here to kayak with MANATEES, fish off the dock, or just soak up the sunshine, this place is designed for making real memories with family and friends. What You’ll Love About This Home: **BIG Dock** – Perfect for fishing, launching kayaks, or just enjoying a morning coffee. **Kayaks Included** – No need to rent! We’ve got **5 adult kayaks + 3 kid-sized ones** ready for adventure. **Huge Yard & Fire Pit** – Room to play, grill out, or make s’mores under the stars. **Unbeatable Location** – Close to parks, springs, and Weeki Wachee’s famous **mermaid show**! **Space for the Whole Crew** – Sleeps up to 6 adults comfortably, or 8 with little ones. --- Outdoor Fun Starts Here This is the kind of place where memories just happen. Spend your days paddling down the river, grilling up fresh-caught fish, playing lawn games, or just kicking back on the dock** while mullet jump and manatees glide by. At night, gather around the fire pit, tell stories, and watch the stars. (Pro tip: S’mores make everything better!) Want to explore beyond the house? You’re just minutes from Weeki Wachee Springs, Pine Island Beach, and some of Florida’s best water adventures. Oh, and don’t worry—restaurants, groceries, and anything else you need are just a short drive away. --- Inside the House We’ve set this place up to feel like home, but better. - **Master Bedroom**: King bed (because everyone deserves a good night’s sleep). - **Guest Room**: Queen bed + 2 convertible chairs that become a queen or two singles. - **Living Room**: Cozy and open, perfect for movie nights or game time. - **Fully Stocked Kitchen**: Everything you need to cook up a feast (minus the groceries). - **Washer/Dryer**: Because no one wants to take home wet swimsuits. --- Pet-Friendly (With a Few Rules) We totally get it—pets are family.

This is just to keep trespassers away and ensure a safe stay. - **Grills are available (gas & charcoal)**, but guests will need to provide their own propane/charcoal. --- Ready to Make Memories?
