Do some early morning yoga or just enjoy the beauty of the river as manatees, otters, and all types of fish swim by. If you're lucky you just might see Chip the dolphin as you enjoy your morning coffee. You can't ask for a better place to people watch.
This area tends to be the favorite spot of past guests who spend hours enjoying the river, nature preserve and all it has to offer while they grill out.
Paddle up river to find the preserve untouched and just amazing, If you take an early morning kayak trip you just might see the deer crossing the river.
You can also paddle to Rogers Park and stop at Upper Deck for lunch.
If you are adventurous, you can explore old Florida which is where the Weeki Wachee River and Mud River join.

The surrounding area has so much to offer, Njoy Spirits Distitary, Pine Island (beautiful sunsets), Bayport Pier (good fishing), Linder Pendersen Park (great lookout tower) are some of many.
You'll be 56 miles from Bush Gardens, Tampa Airport and downtown Tampa, Florida. Disney World in Orlando is 91 miles away.

If you're looking for closer trips enjoy Crystal River downtown area, Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, Clearwater Beach, and Dunedin downtown or Honeymoon Island for breath taken beaches.
Things to Consider when searching other locations!
1. Is the home directly on the main Weeki Wachee River? if not, the canals can be murky.
2. Is there a screen room for everyone to enjoy protecting you from yellow fly season and no-see-ums?
3. Are the Owners committed to your perfect visit and great experience?
When choosing a vacation for your friends and family, please consider the above questions.
As with any home on the water there's no lifeguard on duty and you will be swimming, kayaking, and boating at your own risk.
FYI - This home is not a party house. Neither the Owners or the Neighbors will allow excessive visitors or noisy partying.
There are security cameras on the outside of the house for everyone's protection.
