The 2nd floor screened in porch made the evenings so enjoyable to be outside without the bugs eating us. The view of the river was incredible, we saw many manatee floating by. The kayaks available to use were such a perk. We had a blast floating and paddling on the river. The weekend was pretty busy on the water but Monday we had it all to ourselves. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. It had all the things we could have needed. Such a bonus to have access to a washer and dryer as well. Owner communication was prompt and pleasant. The lower half of the home was also being rented out and we did not hear any noise between them and us. Plenty of restaurants in town (about a 5 minute drive). We loved the Breakfast Station! ##### Andrea C.

The house and location were amazing. The only areas that could use attention are as follows… 1) shade on the back porch- I understand that this has already been addressed 2). If you are in the downstairs bedroom there is a lot of foot step noise from the apt, above. 3) Sub floor in the bedroom doorway is soft causing the ceramic tile to flex. 4) Paddle toys…kayaks and paddle board could use some updating. Overall, it was a spectacular spot and a great house. We already book a week for next year. Thank you! ##### Charles S.

Two bedroom/1 bath was the perfect amount of space for hubby and me. We kayaked one day and rented a pontoon on another. Will be back to stay at the main house with daughter and grandson. Clean apartment on second floor with appropriate amenities. Privacy was acceptable between the apartment and main house. The river is gorgeous. We came a little late for prime manatee season but now we know better. Thank you for the peace and serenity of Manatee Cove. ##### Gay B. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean B. 9 Jan 2019 #### A truly amazing place to stay. Private, tranquil and beautiful.! Alison and David were very gracious and helpful hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed and supplied a ton of valuable information on local attractions and restaurants, etc. The location on the Weeki Wachee River was magical. We could kayak the crystal clear waters at any time directly from the backyard. We often saw manatees, herons and other wildlife. There are so many cool things to do in the immediate vicinity such as beaches, biking, shopping, etc. A great place to unwind and have some fun. ##### Sean B.

The property is right on the river which is gorgeous especially when viewed from the amazing screened in deck. We stayed on the deck most of the time we were at the home. I had never been in a kayak, but since they were supplied I thought I would try it. Now I’m totally hooked! There are a variety of types which is nice, and we really enjoyed using them. The apartment is beautifully appointed, super clean, and roomy. The furniture is actually comfortable, and the owners have done a really good job with landscaping so the home feels very private. The hosts were super helpful, and we have already booked the same place for a trip in May!Oh - and - we saw a total of 12 manatees and 2 river otters! ##### Pat J. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ---
