Guest access Weeki Wachee Gardens is a charming town in Florida that attracts tourists who love nature and adventure. We are very lucky to have a property here and are happy that you are considering our property. We are located right in the heart of Weeki Wachee Gardens right next to Upper Deck and a 3 minute walk to the beach at Rogers Park. One of the main attractions is the Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, where you can see live mermaids perform in a crystal-clear spring, take a river boat cruise to learn about Florida wildlife, or swim in the pristine waters at Buccaneer Bay. Or, you can also paddle down the Weeki Wachee River right from our backyard! The river is a beautiful waterway that flows from the spring to the Gulf of Mexico. Another reason to visit Weeki Wachee Gardens is to see the manatees, gentle marine mammals that frequent the river and the nearby coast. You can spot them from the house often, or paddle 5 minutes to Hospital Hole, an area where manatees love to congregate, especially during winter months. Weeki Wachee Gardens is a place where you can experience the magic of Florida’s natural springs and the wonder of its marine life.
