5312 Circle Dr, Weeki Wachee, FL 34607

This house is located on a side canal on the Weeki Wachee River which is famed for its mermaid springs which run a dozen miles before emptying out into the Gulf of Mexico. The river is one of the Tampa/St. Petersburg area's best attractions, and one of the more unforgettable “Old Florida” experiences around. You can kayak along the pristine waterways and get up close and personal with gentle manatees. The area is peaceful and the neighborhood friendly. No matter where you come from in the world, you will find that your time spent on the River is a small slice of paradise. From the sundeck you can fish and see blue heron, egrets, manatees or even a dolphin occasionally. There are restaurants, kayak and boat rentals and a local beach all within walking distance. Numerous golf courses are nearby. The house is a great place to relax and forget about life for a while. Off the coast in the Gulf of Mexico you can fish year-round (inshore or offshore) or go scalloping just offshore during the season which runs from July-September. Enjoy a piece of Old Florida!
