2 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Spring Hill, Florida

Enjoy the fresh waters directly from the Weeki Wachee Springs with accommodations for 4 to 7 guests. There's only so many houses located directly on the clear flowing waters of the Weeki Wachee River, and this is one of them. It's a wonderfully serene magical place with the ability to melt away the stresses of life. Enjoy time with your friends or let the kids experience the beauty of nature. Treat yourself to fun filled yet peaceful days on our little slice of paradise where the back yard extends to over 6 miles of clear pristine waters or out into the Gulf of America. Create some great memories, smiles and laughter with friends here on the River.

#1 Feature: DIRECTLY ON THE CLEAR WATERS OF THE WEEKI WACHEE RIVER
We are directly on the crystal clear waters of the Weeki Wachee River! And we're literally one bend down river from Roger's Park and a few more paddles from to the famous "Hospital Hole" where the manatees congregate in droves. We are far enough down river that you are more likely to see manatees swim right by the house than most other properties... quite frequently actually! There's even a nice floating dock or narrow (9') boat ramp directly on the river to get you into the water for swimming or kayaking or boating - directly from the back yard. An added plus is the waterfront lanai. It's a great place to relax and take in the views of the river while enjoying a meal, to get shade or during the occasional rain showerif it's rain shower.

I am often asked if the water is clear where we are. Yes! The water is definitely crystal clear. I have another house just a few house down river and was literally swimming and cooling off while working outside, and a manatee came right up to me. I could see it's face in the water from 10 feet away and then it swam right under me rubbing my feet! Then, shortly after, a dolphin swam by as well... still amazes me to watch dolphins and manatees swim by.

#2 Feature: DEEPER WATERS
We are located on a deeper part of the river for better fishing and tying your boat up - right from the back patio... and deep enough that you can literally jump in and do a cannon ball, enjoying the natural spring fed waters to keep you cool in the summer... or warm in the winter months. The water temperature is 74 degrees all year round!

#3 Feature: NATURE - LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Weeki Wachee River is an amazingly beautiful natural wonder! You have over 6 miles to boat, canoe or kayak up river, taking in the peaceful sounds of the water, birds and the wind blowing through the trees. You'll experience manatee on the river, more often than not, but that's not the extent of the amazing wildlife. We've watched a family of deer cross the river right in front of our kayaks - what a treat that was! We've sat and enjoyed river otters playing with each other like little kids. If you're lucky, you'll even spot an occasional dolphin enjoying the river... there's just something special about watching a dolphin swim right in front of the house. There are vast species of birds, like the wood storks, blue herons, egrets, bald eagles, ospreys, double-crested cormorant, but that's just the tip of the ice bird... the bird diversity is phenomenal with 273 native and 8 exotic species in the area.

#4 Feature: CLOSE TO THE GULF OF MEXICO
If you travel down river, the Gulf of Mexico is just over a mile away. The short ride to the Gulf is worth it! The open views shouldn't be missed. And it goes without saying, the wonderfully diverse fishing options can keep any angler busy. So go intercoastal or deep sea fishing, scalloping (when in season), dolphin sightseeing, or just sit there and wait to watch the sunset without a single thing blocking your view.

#5 Feature: WEEKI WACHEE SPRINGS STATE PARK
The world famous Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is a five mile drive away. Make sure to enjoy the mermaid show, it's great for kids and adults too. Don't miss the guided river boat tour, it's worth it. Buccaneer Bay is an add on ticket where the family can enjoy swimming - right next to the head of the spring, or relax on their white sand beach or have some fun speeding down the giant water slides.
#6 Feature: ALFRED A MCKETHAN PINE ISLAND PARK
Alfred A McKethan Pine Island Park has a wonderful beach that's great for long walks, sunbathing, building sand castles, watching the sunset... you know, all of the beachy stuff. And it's less than a 10 minute drive.
