This was the perfect little waterfront cottage for our family of 4! It’s located on a peaceful canal, away from busy boat traffic, but only about a 10 minute paddle from the most beautiful part of the main river. The kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you could need. The bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were spotless. The backyard was incredible and is where we spent most of our time when we weren’t kayaking. The hostess, Mary, left a sweet welcome note with a basket of goodies and helpful info about nearby stores, activities, and urgent care/hospitals. We can’t wait to go back!

The home is clean and updated even more than it looks in the pictures. It was very comfortable for my family of four. You can stay there the whole time or there's restaurants and shopping close. The first day there we kayaked down to the river and found manatees right away. It was pretty awesome.

The house was very clean and had a fully stocked kitchen. The first morning a manatee swam right by and there is a friendly otter that was spotted several times. The only thing we did not think about was when the tide goes out it is too low to get the kayaks into it. Other than that we would definitely stay again. Beautiful location and the hot tub was great. Thank you.

Perfect for a couple

Stayed for a long weekend, house very well maintained, perfect for the two of us. I loved that it was obviously clean but didn't have that strong bleach smell that some rentals have. Only negative is that the hot water is very limited but other than that, A+. Felt like home, would stay again for sure!

Home away from home

We really enjoyed this property and all its amenities. It's very well appointed, clean, and comfortable in all respects. The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away. Access to the canal without being on the main (crowded) canal is perfect. We saw one magnificent manatee in Weeki Wachee even late in the season. The backyard area is perfect for enjoying a quiet morning or evening watching for local cranes that frequent the area. We would stay again.

We loved the place. My only complaint was it not being directly on the clear waters and having to paddle a little ways down to get to the clear water. I would have liked less rocks in the sand in the back yard. But everything else was amazing. And I miss the comfortable bed so much already!

Peaceful and Fun!

We stayed 5 nights having had a busy few days in Orlando so welcomed the change of pace and peacefulness. We enjoyed the hot tub, views, games and most of all the kayaks. We went out a few times and we found it took us 12-15 minutes to get down to the main river. We took our time because the canal the house is on is so quiet, the reflection of the trees on the water is beautiful. We loved it! The house itself is well stocked and the beds comfy. I hope to return one day and would recommend to others.

Girls weekend

Had a wonderful girls weekend here!! House was adorable and had everything we needed. We like to eat in, so did Publix delivery and the kitchen had all the tools to prepare it. Enjoyed the hot tub, beach backyard, talking to people floating by and nightly bonfires. Took a short (30 min) trip to Florida Cracker in Homosassa to say “Welcome back” to the monkeys. So many other things we could have done, we’ll have to schedule another trip!!

Excellent Location

This little house was perfect for our family of 5. Comfortable and roomy. The kids slept well in the beanbags one of which was opened fully. Our 6 y/o granddaughter said it was her own personal nest! King size bed was almost as comfy as my sleep number bed at home! Daughter slept well in the queen (?). Teenager did use the fold out bed a couple nights and was pleased. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you could need, and then some. And a Crockpot! Yard games provided were very much appreciated during our downtime. The kayaks were a huge perk! We were able to paddle out several days and we did see manatees! Pay attention to the tides to make it easier to get out. So much to do in the area, and great food. We walked one of the nearby piers and saw dolphins! What a treat!If you like putt putt golf the Congo River is a must!Anyway Mary was great with communication and provided clear instructions re: hot tub, thermostat, etc.Highly recommend this quaint little home!PS: Parking may be tight if you have two bigger vehicles. Sweeping may be a daily task because of the sand, especially if there is alot of in and out. Not a bother for us, but may be for others.

Florida cold snap

Upon arrival we did have some issues with the cleanliness of the house, however Mary had the cleaners return and resolved the problems promptly. She was kind enough to check in again the next to day to make sure all was well. The house is very cute, and is by far the most well stocked Vrbo we have stayed in. They really did an amazing job in making sure you have everything you need. The Florida weather did not cooperate at all the day of arrival nor the next day, but we tried to make most of it. On our last full day the weather finally was decent enough to be outside so we tried to take a clear kayak down the river. Unfortunately, there’s not enough water to kayak through the canal the house sits on to get to the river. We’re not big people and still got stuck in the mud repeatedly in such a short distance we had to go back to the house after about 1/4 mile and still didn’t see deeper water. The water is very mucky and brackish and is not somewhere you can get out the kayak to get unstuck. Obviously this was a huge disappointment as we rented this particular house for the kayaks and the river. I understand the weather, including water depth can’t be controlled however I just wish we knew in advance so we could have adjusted our plans accordingly. This prob is a great place for kayaking during other months when there’s enough water. The 1/4 or so mile we did see looked pretty scenic. the next day, but we made the most of it.
