Waterfront w access to the Weeki Wachee River & Gulf of Mexico - Dog Friendly!

PROMO 5% WEEKLY AND 10% MONTLY DISCOUNT.
Come and have a relaxing stay at the Weeki Wachee Riverside Cabana. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom house sits on a deep-water canal that connects with the Weeki Wachee river and has access to the Gulf of Mexico. There are a total of 6 kayaks w/ paddles and life jackets for guests to use. Pet friendly with a $75 fee per dog. Come and experience Weeki Wachee with its unspoiled views and timeless backdrop for a one-of-a-kind vacation. An affordable getaway to enjoy all of Weeki Wachee and close enough to so many other fabulous attractions that Florida has to offer.

LIVING ROOM
The house has an open floor plan with a spacious living room with 2 comfortable couches, smart T.V., and a computer workstation with high-speed WI-FI available to connect your devices to the internet.

KITCHEN/DINING ROOM
The kitchen and inside dining area are next to the living room. The kitchen has all new basic appliances to include Keurig pod/pot coffee maker, tea kettle, blender, skillet, crockpot, large boiling pot, and toaster oven. Other basic amenities include paper towels, an assortment of pod coffees, and basic spices. The dining table sits 4-7.

BEDROOMS/BATHROOMS
The Master bedroom has a king size bed with a master bath. The master bath has a shower, and a laundry room closet with a brand-new washer and dryer, and laundry detergent pods provided. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and is next to the common area bathroom that has a shower. Both bathrooms have a set of fresh towels.

KAYAKS
There are a total of 6 kayaks, paddles, and life vests; and one of the kayaks is a perfect size for younger/smaller people to try out on the water.

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING
Enjoy gathering outside in the screened in patio room overlooking the water with a dining table that sits 4. There is a gas grill for barbecuing and a firepit to gather around at night and share memories made from the day on the river while eating some yummy smores.

There are 3 docks that can be used to spot manatees as they swim by or try your luck at fishing from. (Florida State Fishing License May Be Required.)

RIVER ACTIVITIES
Launch into the water right from the backyard, with only a 5–10-minute paddle to the Weeki Wachee river. The river is family-friendly, perfect for wildlife viewing, and boasts some of the most beautiful scenery of any Florida waterway. The spring water stays a constant 72 degrees year-round, so it feels cool in the hot summer months and warm on a chilly winter day. Paddlers can take a break along the river and go for a dip, and various parts of the riverbank offer good stopping points for a picnic lunch. If you are a water-loving outdoors enthusiast, this river is a must. If you aren’t, you will be after a day on this river!

When you approach the Weeki Wachee River paddling from the house:

Turn right onto the river to get to Rogers Park and the Upper Deck restaurant, a popular spot to grab a drink and bite to eat while enjoying an elevated view of the water.

Or turn left to head towards the Weeki Wachee Springs State Park where you can see live mermaids perform. For anyone who prefers a guide; eco-tours are offered through the Weeki Wachee State Park and Boating in Florida. They will take tours upriver toward the headsprings while providing information about the surrounding flora and fauna, kayaking tips, and tips on river etiquette.

ADDITIONAL ATTRACTIONS
There are so many other amazing adventures that are just a hop, skip, and a jump from Weeki Wachee. Directly to the south about 50-60 miles is Tampa, Clearwater Beach, and St. Petersburg. Then to the east about 1.5 – 2 hours is Orlando and Cocoa Beach.

First time Vrbo

This was a great little house with all the things you need to vacation on the springs. We enjoyed our time, the area was quiet and close to major stores if you forgot anything. I would definitely rent from Chris again in the future.

Wonderful House for Kayak Fun

The house was very clean and fully supplied with necessary items so we only needed to do grocery shopping for our specific tastes. The kitchen has labels on cupboards making it easy to find items and put them away. The kayaks were in good condition and we utilized them several times during our week-long visit. There was plenty of room for two couples.

Perfect Stay

The canal we stayed in is super clear with manatees literally EATING UNDER THE DOCK. It’s super quiet as well which we really like. Really close the the main river as well. 10/10 this home!

Little pocket of paradise!

We absolutely *loved* our trip! Close to everything and didn’t even need to go into the actual state park to have beautiful views. The pullout couch was broken so, would probably limit it to 4 adults vs 6 adults but, we had an absolute blast.

Great River Cabana Retreat

Great place with everything you need for your stay. Loved the updated appliances and the kitchen was full stocked to cook any meal. Kayaks were ok. Could use a couple new ones for the fleet. Would love to see a bigger fan on the porch in the future. Definitely will book again.

Great location

Great place, I’ve stayed here before but with different owners. It’s just as I remembered, upgraded furniture but basically the same! The house is perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway! Watch out for utensils left in grill, we were charged because it melted on the grill! We were unaware that it was in the grill until it was to late. But great place, and has everything you need.

Better Than Last Year!

I brought along my brother and his wife for Thanksgiving and they did not want to leave!! The house is amazing and smells marvelous!! Aside from it being unexpectedly colder than last year, we had a great time. We didn't get a chance to kayak because it was rainy but we did get a glimpse at a couple of manatees. I was just happy to get another opportunity to stay at this lovely little home.

Cute little house!

We loved staying at this house. It was cute and just the right size for us — two adults and two teenagers. It was wonderful to have kayaks supplied. The only thing that we had a little trouble with was the air conditioner in the living room. It was a little difficult to see the controls because they were so high up so it might be helpful to have a remote control to use with it. We would recommend it to anyone!

Weeki Wachee stay

We had a blast here. They had everything we needed for a sun-filled river getaway. It's a short kayak paddle to the spring water. It is probably about 2 river miles to get to Rogers park and the Upper Deck but once you know where you are going, it is a fun, easy paddle. Chris was a responsive host. The place is well stocked- with the exception of toilet paper, we did run out. Other than that, no complaints!

Riverside Cabana

Let me just tell you how amazing this place was for our family. They literally have everything you could possibly need to make your stay PERFECT. We had zero stress, and an absolutely amazing time. We have stayed on the river previous times at different places and this is by far our favorite. We hope the owners will have us back because we LOVE LOVE LOVED it. The power did go out so we left super early the last day but that’s no one’s fault. Also the air was super comfortable it would get the place the exact temperature you wanted it. The paddle out was so enjoyable too. Pulling up to the riverside cabana we knew this was the place for us they have the cutest landscaping decor with two kayaks sticking out of the ground. So adorable. Just the cutest touches but not overdone. This is the place to stay for sure.
