Vacation rentals with a kayak in Southern United States

Great, private location in Homosassa. Easily walkable to McRae's, the Monkey Bar and a few other spots. The house is as described on AirBnB. It is spacious and comfortable. Susan is a great and quick responding host!

We really enjoyed our stay in this home! The host was very helpful and responsive. The highlight of our stay was definitely the ability to kayak right out the back door - we paddled out into Mud River Springs and saw manatees absolutely everywhere. It was a magical experience! The yard was peaceful and it was relaxing to sit out with coffee on the deck and watch the wildlife (squirrels, birds, fish). Situated in a small quiet neighborhood (but still close to all the activities we came to the area for), we couldn’t have imagined a more peaceful place to spend our week. We really loved this spot and hope to enjoy it again someday!

We were very happy to find this house. It was perfect for two couples. The best part was taking the provided kayaks out to seven sisters springs. Beautiful. There was also a canoe for those that don’t like kayaks.

Had a lovely stay. The accommodation is clean, tidy and possibly the best equipped property I have stayed at. Managed to catch a couple of fish off the deck and were lucky enough to encounter 2 dolphins whilst out kayaking. Will definitely stay here again. The Accomodation had everything you could possibly need. Only negative was if you are prone to being bitten bring some insect repellent, I am and suffered, wife and daughter aren’t so laughed at my misfortune. Insect bites are not uncommon around Hudson, happened last time we came and again only I seem to suffer!!

Such a cute spot and a quick kayak ride to the beautiful clear weeki Wachee river. Couldn’t find the washer and dryer and Derick responded very quickly. Would def stay again :)

Amazing we had such a good time. The kids and adults we all loved it. Just wish checkin was a but earlier, we usually go for 3pm check in to get better worth of our time and money to get especially with check out being10am. We will be back.

Phils place was perfect for our friends and family. It is in a great location that isn't far from the tours and restaurants. We spent time in the yard which is very large and the deck of the house was perfect for the six of us. Would definitely come back again.

We have been coming to Weeki Wachee since 2020 and have been admiring this house from our kayaks and paddle boards since then. Even though the bedroom configuration isn’t ideal for our family, we decided to finally book it, and absolutely loved it. The deck and outdoor area, the slide, the gorgeous deep water in front of the house and proximity to our favorite parts of the main river has made it our favorite house we’ve stayed in. The kitchen is beautiful and well stocked. Ada was very friendly, responsive, and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your home!

We really enjoyed our stay. From kayaking to sipping coffee on the back porch, it was great. The beds were so comfy, and the kitchen was stocked with all the needs to make it easy to enjoy a cooked meal. We will return!

Whether sitting on the front porch/patio or on the private dock, nature’s sights and sounds served up a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. If you got away in a car, access to beaches, other nature areas, restaurants and shopping areas too were all easily accessible.

fantastic stay. clean and very quiet right on the bay. highly recommended. would definitely revisit again.

AMAZING. Great hosts, great place! I stayed here by myself and it was heaven on earth. I am a nature lover and this exceeded my expectations. The house & the property are stunning. The house is a lovely mix of tasteful tropical & Victorian decor. The outside is like being in the garden of Eden. So private & peaceful. I was able to meet manatees my first evening taking the kayak out; they were as interested in me as I was in them and came all around me and the baby came up to say hi. It was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had. It was just me and the manatees not another human in sight. The next morning I paddled out again and saw otters playing. I saw turtles, lizards, many beautiful birds, including green heron, great blue heron, and an owl. Coffee in the morning on the patio & a fire at night under the canopy of trees. Close to so much to do- springs, beach, nature parks, but by far the best was being able to paddle pretty much out the back door. I’m so glad I stayed here!!!

What a lovely little house! We brought our 2 kids, and the layout was great. Loved the sleeping porch, the location to the water, and the s'mores supplies at the ready. Tawnya and Jay sent us so many great recommendations in the area and were very responsive if we had any questions. Our faves from the weekend were The Gristmill, Gruene Hall and The Freiheit Country Store - great live music & atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back again!

Amazing stay! Place was beautiful and relaxing. Kim was wonderful and allowed us to have a small wedding on the dock. It made memories for a lifetime. Book this place and feel comfortable you have made a great choice. We will be back!

This was our second visit to Mallard Cottage for my husband and I. Just like our previous stay, this is the perfect mix of serenity from the water view and a well-stocked kitchen for cooking some wonderful meals. A. J. and Lindsey remain very helpful and responsive, which ensures peace of mind.

We had a great time trading the Indiana cold for manatees, fresh seafood, warm weather and beachside sunsets. The place was perfect with great amenities!

Peaceful getaway!!!

What’s hidden gem! We enjoyed our getaway with kayaking in morning and camp fires in the evening. It is off country/gravel roads and a bit from the closest store so best to plan accordingly.

Calming Waters was the perfect location & perfect to just relax! The creek being right off the deck was so very calming! We enjoyed cooking steaks on the grill one evening & just relaxing in the swing on the deck. Everything was clean & well kept! Just what my husband & I needed!

Wow is all we can say!! Anita and David’s place is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed the fishing, the huge deck, the comfortable living spaces, as well as all the little sitting areas around the property. I especially enjoyed drinking my morning coffee on the porch swing! We will definitely be back! Thank you again!!

Lynn was a very responsive and kind host! We had some bad weather during our stay and she reached out to make sure we were aware. Not only that but she let us take shelter in the next door home with a lower level. Truly went above and beyond and made us feel right at home and well cared for.

We loved our stay at Amelia’s cabin! It is such a beautiful location and so peaceful. Our family had the best time fishing from the dock, going out on the canoe, enjoying the hot tub and having a bonfire. We would definitely come back! Our dogs had the best time swimming as well. Amelia was always very responsive, friendly and helpful! She is a wonderful host!

Rebecca’s cabin was lovely! Exactly as described with a great deck overlooking the river. Our trip was unfortunately cut short by threat of flood, but Rebecca and Leanne were extremely kind and helpful through the process. Thank you!!

This place is amazing for a family retreat. Very quiet, the river is stunning, you can use the canoes and the kids loved fishing from the deck. Beautiful fireplace, the cabin is equipped with everything you’ll need. Sparkling clean. Absolutely recommended. We will back next year for sure!!!!
