NEW! Manatee Cove Main House Star5Vacations

Manatee Cove Main House - Swim & paddle with the manatees right in your backyard. Main River & Clear Blue waterfront home on Weeki Wachee River. Large patio & deck. This rare 1/2 acre property has 130' of waterfront offering stunning views. The main house has about 1700 square feet.

This home has a separate, attached apartment (locked off when rented separately) that is also a rental. Each side has a separate fenced in backyard, separate docks, and own designated kayaks. The only shared space is the parking. Both units can be rented together to sleep 12 total.

This is a beautiful riverfront home (with attached apartment as a separate rental) situated on the clearest part of the Weeki Wachee River. The unit has one bedroom downstairs with a queen size bed, flat screen T.V., dresser, 2 night stands and a walk in closet. The second sleeping area (downstairs T.V. room) has a leather queen pullout sofa with a memory foam mattress, 2 leather recliners, and a flat screen T.V.. The loft upstairs has a daybed that pulls out into a king size bed with memory foam mattresses and has a dresser and mirror. The loft area also has a curtain room divider for privacy.

Upstairs, near the loft, is the expansive master bedroom and master ensuite bathroom. Both have been updated. Natural light from all the windows give you a 180 degree view of the gorgeous river. The master has a king bed, 2 nightstands, a dresser, a flat screen T.V., and a sitting area overlooking the river- perfect for coffee or book. The master bathroom features two vanities and a large walk in shower.


The downstairs also has 2 full bathrooms with standup showers, full kitchen and living room that overlook the river. One bathroom is off the Tv room and Queen bedroom and the other bathroom is off the kitchen/dining/living room.

The water from the Weeki Wachee magnitude one spring is lovely and clean and stays at 72 to 74 degrees year round. While most of the manatees are in the river from December to April guests spotted at least one almost every day in the summer. The water is shallow and sandy immediately in front of the house so it is safe for kids. You can wade in directly from the dock and play on a large sandbar. One bedroom has a queen bed. Eating areas on the balcony or inside. Nearby are excellent hiking trails if you want to take a break from the water. Kayaks provided (3-4 kayaks, boats may vary. Rentals nearby). Towels provided. All bedding is brand new. There is also a fenced yard to enjoy and plenty of parking( which is shared with the adjoining unit) with a gate for security. Fishing charters, kayak rentals and boat rentals nearby. Also lots of restaurants from fish fry chow down to finer dining. The Bbq and fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, dishes and the kitchen has everything you need to cook in your Manatee Cove vacation home.

Summer getaway
This house was perfect for our family. We also rented the apartment so we had the entire house which sleeps 12. It literally had everything that you needed and more. We had 3 small children ages 6,5 and 3 and the location on the river was exactly what we needed. It was very shallow right off the dock so we were able to put floats in the water and just hang right there while the kids played. Or we could take one of the kayaks or paddle boards down the river. We saw so many manatees and even dolphins right off our dock. We look forward to renting this house for many summers to come!! Super clean and quick responsive management made our trip easy and enjoyable! We were looking for a peaceful relaxing summer vacation and that’s exactly what we got! Cannot wait to stay here again next summer!!

Weeki Wachee River
House was immaculate and well equipped. The river is practically in the back yard! Great views and easy access for swimming and kayaking. We encountered two small issues that were caused by us and management was very supportive and resolved both issues promptly. Would definitely return and highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to spend time on crystal clear river. There are several step up/down locations in addition to a 2nd story master bedroom and bath. So anyone with mobility issues may have difficulty. Great vacation. Thank you!!!
