Pet-friendly Welcome to Rock's Retreat. Located an hour North of Tampa and just minutes from the famous Weeki Wachee mermaids, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath waterfront home has just about everything you need to stay amused! Play arcade games in our downstairs game room or challenge your family to a friendly game of cornhole, darts, pool or ladder ball. Nature lover? You've come to the right place! It's very common to see manatee, dolphin & a variety of seabirds while you're enjoying yourself on our backyard beach or toasting marshmallows in our fire pit. Or maybe you're just chilling on one of our two balconies having coffee in the morning or playing a board game in the evening. Use our kayaks and pedal boat to explore the local waterways. Or get picked up at our dock for an airboat tour (additional fees apply). Close to shopping & dining, while perfectly hidden! We're pet friendly too! So, bring your well-behaved fur-babies and come stay for a couple days, or a week, or even a month! We know you're gonna LOVE IT here!! The elevator is currently non-operational. We're sorry for any inconvenience. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Lift - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109980000/109977000/109976929/3db267ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mermaids Hideaway on the banks of beautiful waterways Spring Hill - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-18&endDate=2025-11-19&selected=109976929&PinnedHotelID=109976929&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, video games](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106650000/106641100/106641010/131696df.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Coastal family gaming retreat with pool table, hot tub, arcades - pet welcome Hudson - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 15 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-18&endDate=2025-11-19&selected=106641010&PinnedHotelID=106641010&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34360000/34353300/34353289/882a3ba3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful & Meticulously Clean Waterfront Bungalow, with Pool!
