Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Find tranquility at Paradise Point, a charming, private STUDIO home so there is not a separate bedroom. Our canal feeds into the Weeki Wachee River just before Rodgers Park. Short, easy paddle, (less than a quarter mile) to the amazingly clear, turquoise rivers. Stunning views from the back porch. Don't miss breathtaking sunsets on the water and watch for manatees, dolphins, and otters.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING MANATEE ENCOUNTERS:
Manatee encounters are a truly incredible experience you are likely to have on the Weeki Wachee River. Passive interaction makes the best possible experience for everyone. If you are calm and respectful of their space, they may initiate contact with you. DO observe quietly and respect their space!

DO NOT chase, yell, make a scene, announce their presence, or crowd them. People may try to get as close as possible, bumping into each other, and crowd them from above. Manatees need to come up for air and are slow moving. Crowding can make manatees and their young disoriented and separated from each other.

It is a FELONY to harass manatees. If you observe anyone harassing manatees, please say something to the person. It is encouraged to take photos or a video and to report the incident to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) a1-888-404-FWCC (3922).

*Hospital Hole: The Weeki Wachee River is shallow for the most part, but Hospital Hole is a spring about 130 feet deep and 150 feet in diameter. It is great for kayaking, experienced snorkelers, and open water divers, but you should not attempt to go below the cloud layer unless you are a certified and experienced cavern diver. The site is only accessible by water and is not marked. It is the third bend after Roger's Park. The name comes from local legend that injured fish come to this site to be healed before returning to the sea. Check out photos and videos.
