We had a great trip! The place was amazing and had plenty of room for 7 people, but I’m not sure how it would comfortably sleep 11. It was a little farther from the Weeki Wachee River than I thought, which made for a long paddle by kayak not recommended for beginner paddlers. But, if you can handle it, seeing the manatee was worth every bead of sweat (6-7 mile paddle round trip with and against the tide). Otherwise a short drive takes you to Roger’s Park where you can launch for a shorter paddle. However, the private and calmer neighborhood turned out to be more desirable than the “main drag” for our family and as we became acclimated the location ended up being perfect. If you like action and partying, rent something on or closer to the main Weeki Wachee. There are not many beaches in the area (FYI, Hernando Beach is not a beach), but a short pontoon ride landed us on our own tiny private island where we snorkeled with dolphin, needle fish, sting rays, and hermit crabs. Although it wasn’t the ordinary beach trip (we were skeptical when we arrived), it turned out to be one of our most memorable trips to Florida. We will be back again and again. Thanks to Summer for her directions and being a good neighbor for the week. We look forward to returning next summer! Oh and I almost forgot to mention the pool. I believe we were in it more than our beds. We loved the place and wish we could have stayed longer than a week.
