About this property

Beautiful River Front Home-Best on the Weeki Wachee-Read our FIVE STARS Reviews

VACATION AT THE BEST HOME ON THE Weeki Wachee river... the spring is always 72 degrees... Special note, river access is becoming increasingly difficult, so if you stay here directly on the river, you have unlimited access, anytime, right off of your own dock, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, and motor boating.
This is a beautiful, 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home Directly on the Weeki Wachee River. We are known as the " Clock House" as the State Park maintains a clock on our boat house with directions to Rogers Park.
From the moment you pass through the hidden gate into the lushly landscaped entry path, the magic of this RIVER home is apparent.
Our premier location on the river is one of the best, with deep water right off of the long riverfront dock and across river is a huge, protected, wilderness area.
Our property has a new 8' fence on both sides so that your visit is very private.
There is a unique (only one on the weeki wachee river) that has a boathouse with an automatic garage door. So you can board your kayaks (we have 4) or paddleboards in the boathouse and paddle out.
Of special note, the State Park is now limiting the number of boats they will launch, therefore being right on the river is more important than ever.
On the ground floor, the entire house is tiled. You come into a nice foyer with the laundry and half bath to your right and the living/kitchen area the left. Ground floor master bedroom and bath are all wood paneled walls and ceiling.
The beautiful full equipped kitchen has stainless appliances, shaker cabinets, and granite counters.
There is a huge window facing the patio and river.
There is a narrow, long, screened porch just out of the kitchen sliding glass doors for your enjoyment of the view of the weekii wachee river!!.
You access the second floor via beautiful spiral stairs and it has a living room with a 3 couches, two bedrooms with queen beds and a full bath.
The river deck is huge with pavers and wood decking.
There is also a propane gas grill with a side burner, so you can cook and eat right on the river.
We have added a large screen room (very important some times of year) with a tile table and seating for 6, right on the river.
This is very nice home, very well outfitted, very well located, and owners dedicated to making this a great vacation for you and your family.
We will make sure everything is as perfect as we can so that your vacation is a great success.
Oh, never a day goes by that you don't see a manatee or two (or more) or the dolphins

Great location!

Beautiful location, right on the river. We saw several manatees swim by during our stay and saw even more when we took out the provided kayaks. Watch the tides to know when to kayak downstream, if you wait till high tide it is much easier to kayak back than during low tide. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

Amazing location

The location on the river is amazing. The home is directly on the main river. The host Summer is top notch. If you text her, she will answer you promptly. She was there to greet us when we were leaving to make sure how our stay was. The house was spotless. Plenty of beach towels, plenty of bath towels. Would definitely recommend staying here, and we plan on going back. We were there to celebrate my adult son’s Birthday. I asked summer if she could hang a few birthday decorations and she did not disappoint. Thank you Summer for everything and a wonderful stay.

Amazing riverfront home on the Weeki Wachee River

This home had everything we needed, including a gorgeous riverfront view into nature across the way, outdoor covered and oncovered tables for meals, and a fire pit for the evenings. We enjoyed taking the kayaks to nearby Hospital Hole to see the many manatees there. So relaxing and beautiful! Also, the first floor bedroom was accessible for my older parents.

Better than advertised. I’m an above knee amputee. The xtra hand rails in the bathroom were a real benefit. Easy to get around in a wheelchair. Even getting in and out of the water was easy and very enjoyable

Another Great Stay

We visit Weeki Wachee multiple times a year. This summer trip was to do some scalloping with family and friends. This is a great house on the river especially if you bring your own boat. We were able to fit 2 boats along the dock. The house has everything you need to enjoy the river!

Great location!

The house was perfect for our family. It’s right on the main river and gets the perfect amount of sun and shade. The paddle boards and kayaks were just the right amount. Great place to spot manatees and occasionally a dolphin or two. Lots of outdoor space. We would definitely rent again.

About the host

Hosted by John Nock

Host profile image
We live and work in St Augustine in the building, rental, and self storage business.
Four great children that love the river as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This home is probably one of the best situated on the Weeki River
It is one mile from Rogers Park (the take out point) and four miles from the State Park. So kayaking and paddleboarding right from the deck is so easy.
Also the home is just beautiful with tile floors and some all wood paneled rooms.
Of great importance is that across the river is a very large conservation area. So no homes on the South side of the river, just beautiful woods.
And there is even a boat garage complete with an automatic door. You can leave your kayaks in the water, or stash you small power boat inside.
Please consider our current lack of reviews since we just purchased this home. Perhaps look at our other homes on the Weeki to see how well they are reviewed.

What makes this property unique

The popularity of the Weeki has caused the State Park overload on the launches. They have gone to a reservation system. Between that and very limited parking, its hard to get on the river some days. So kayaking right from home you can go as often, long or short trips, as you like.
Paddle, come cook lunch on the grill right on the river, and go back out again.
This home is very boat friendly, just tie up on the river and take sunset cruises to the Gulf every evening.
We have a new concept, courtesy of a guest. This home is an ideal location for your wedding. The large paver deck, right on the river makes a very romantic location. And we have two other homes, right on the river and nearby, for your guests. Please contact us for special package pricing.
There is plenty of parking for you, your guests, and your boat trailer.
