Summary: A Hidden Gem on the River – We’ll Be Back!Our stay at The Blue Heron was unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we could tell this home was something special. The view of the river is stunning. Calm, peaceful, and perfect for morning coffee on the back deck or evening wine by the water. One night, after a quick rainstorm we even got a beautiful rainbow. And! Manatee swam right up to us! The house was spotless, beautifully designed, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed—from kitchen essentials to comfy beds and extra towels. The open layout gave everyone space to relax, and the little details like the welcome basket and local activity guide made us feel like true guests, not just renters.One of our favorite parts was the direct water access. We used the kayaks to explore the Weeki Wachee River. After long days of fun, we really enjoyed the night view while we did some remote work. The location was also perfect—quiet and serene but close enough to restaurants, beaches, and the state park for easy day trips. We walked to Upper Deck in the afternoons some for a "business snack" while our kids were attending a summer camp at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park (they highly recommend). It’s clear that a lot of heart has gone into making The Blue Heron the kind of place you want to come back to year after year.Highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and memorable waterfront stay. Already planning our next visit!

Summary: Our stay at the Blue Heron was awesome. The home is cozy but large enough to stretch out. The outdoor area is great. Sun in the morning and afternoon and shade in the late afternoon evening. Perfect for winding the day down. The river is less trafficked than other parts upstream. But we still had our share of people watching. lol. Easy in and out of the kayak the way the sea wall is. We’ll be back.

Summary: We have been vacationing in Weeki Wachee for 5 years now and this was our favorite rental so far. Perfect spot on the river for relaxing and a great spot to get good sun all day! Easy paddle to Roger’s Park and a quick walk to Upper Deck. Candice was so kind and encouraged us to check out the sunset on the river. The house was cute and cozy. We were greeted with an awesome welcome basket filled with snacks and waterproof phone cases to use while on the river. 100/10 recommend!! We will definitely be repeat guests here! Thank you!!

Summary: Candice was great to work with and everything with reservation and check in went so smoothly. The house is small but very well done and equipped with everthing you'd need for a stay on the river! The house was clean and comfortable.The kayaks were a huge asset, and it was so nice to have floaties and water toys for the kids. The location was great and quiet, even on a terribly busy day on the river. The manatees liked the quiet spot too! We enjoyed our stay and Weeki Wachee will always hold special memories for us!

Summary: The location of this property is great. The views from the back are of the Weeki Wachi preserve making for a private sit out on the back porch. Very easy access to the gulf, should you want to venture that way and even easier access to the River. There are stairs set up to the river concrete shelf to make for easier access to kayaks, etc.... I love being able to walk out the door and be on the water in 2 minutes
