Manatee Landing Everyday Retreat

Such a wonderful experience staying here. The retreat property is gorgeous and nicely positioned on the river. After a full day of enjoying the river and all of its excitement you can just pull up to the retreat and relax. Multiple nice areas to sit and enjoy nature. The room was absolutely gorgeous and well functioning. If you’re in the area you NEED to be treated at Manatee Landing.

Amazing stay here, comfy, cute and easy access to the water. Walked out of my room with coffee to spot a baby manatee having his own breakfast in the water near the dock. Loved my cool room. The hosts gave the best tips, made sure everything was taken care of for my stay. Had so much fun!

This place is so amazing. Nights out by a fire listening to the water and the fish jump. Going out on the kayak was so breath taking. I got to see some beautiful manatee and babies. The room we had was very nice. All the rooms there have a out the same things in it. Id you like to cook in you can. There were some really good places to eat. Silver dolphin and Upper deck. I wish I could give more than a 5 stars.

Manatee Retreat is my favorite place on the Weeki Wachee river to stay, play, & paddle!! YUM life is a true inspiration. Your Unlimited Manifestations!! YUM! We were fortunate enough to have some beautiful weather, and spotted all kinds of nature on our paddle including - raccoons, manatee, plenty of different species of fish & birds, and two small dolphin! You will have everything you need at the retreat to make your stay enjoyable, including firewood, plates and silverware, an outside area for cooking, and you’re own slice of weeki wachee river in the backyard. Highly recommend staying with Manatee Retreat!

When we arrived, they were toasting marshmallows by the fire and we joined in as soon as we dropped our bags in the room. The room was creatively decorated and clean. The only thing you need to bring is some toiletries. Everything else is provided. A few gifts and goodies were on the kitchen table, that were extremely thoughtful. We grilled steak on Saturday night. Other guests brought out food and we all ate together. My kids loved the water and had a blast playing in the canal and kayaking! Only a few minute paddle to Hospital Hole and some great swimming spots. My family really had a wonderful time. The owners are both so welcoming and kind. We look forward to being RETREATS! Thank you Ilyse and Eliot!!

Love this place! Relaxing, family and dog friendly vibe. Ilyse and Elliot are the best, always taking care of every guest need. My adult kids and I have been many times. We love the way the retreat came out even cuter after the hurricane damage. This is a gem of a vacation rental where you can mingle with others around the fire or find a private spot at the tiki bar. Kayaks and water trampoline for a great time!

Absolutely a fan of this place for eternity. Fun vibe, clean rooms, everything you need except your own food!! They even have a laundry room! The grounds are beautiful. Colorful outdoor furniture and sun shades. There is even a water trampoline and water pad anchored near the dock. The owner was on site a few times that week checking on guests. I can always get ahold of her if I have questions about anything. I will return many times to this boho, eclectic, colorful, and great for the soul place.

Nice, peaceful, clean, cozy....loved it. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
