Waterfront Retreat: Kayak, Fish & Relax in Weeki Wachee

Reconnect with nature and family in a serene canal-side home

Weeki Wachee, FL, United States

Belle Springs & Oaks

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 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. This peaceful waterfront home with a huge yard & two bird-full gorgeous and gigantic oak trees is perfect to enjoy the sounds of the native birds, splashing mullets and snout-blowing manatees while overlooking the peaceful and clear canal.

☀️ 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 mullets 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. 😉) 🛏️ 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. 🌟 A Few Things to Know There is a minimum stay required of 3 nights and no check outs on Saturdays. This is our family’s home away from home. We ask that guests treat it with the same love and care we do. We have 3 outdoor security cameras in public-facing areas only (driveway and yard). 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? This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s an experience. Whether you’re paddling, fishing, swimming, or just soaking up the Florida sunshine, this place is all about slowing down and soaking in the good stuff. We’d love to host you—reach out with any questions! 🌿🏡✨

Oh, the back porch. This place was just perfect for our family. If you love the Weeki Wachee River and being immersed in the natural setting you will be hard pressed to find a more desirable location. The convenience of paddling to and from the home is simply amazing. The hosts communicated clearly, we had zero issues with access, were greeted with personalized messages and extra goodies like a smore's bar and coffee station that just made the stay more special. But honestly we will return for the back porch. We spent almost all of our time at the home out there. Screened with ample seating and an amazing river view, mornings and evenings with a fire glowing in the antique stove were simply magic. We have stayed in a variety of accommodations over the years from Crystal River/Homosassa to Spring Hill and this was our favorite. Thank you, Annabelle for a fabulous New Year's stay.

This was our last stop on a 2-week road trip and it was absolutely the right choice! Felt like home and had so much to do! the beds were cozy, the bathrooms were clean, and the kitchen stocked. but obviously what makes this place stand out is the outside! my kids and I spent every day out on the water with the kayaks. We made came to see manatees and the first hour we were there we met a mother and her pup. The water from the spring was crystal clear and easy to paddle. after a day on the water, we could come back and relax by the fire pix or eat on the screen porch. Annabelle was an absolute asset to helping me plan this trip! she was super responsive and very helpful in finding places around town to eat or things to do. My Family will be coming back in the near future.
