Red Elephant Inn

The house was so clean, comfortable, and fun. We loved the easy access to kayaking the river and really enjoyed the slide!!

Clean, comfortable space to celebrate my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding. Very relaxing, lots of space to spread out. Will definitely be back!

Great rental with all kinds of fun things! We enjoyed the game stash and the screen in porch was amazing! We were a little disappointed in the availability and quality of the kayaks. We were a group of seven and there weren’t enough working kayaks for our group. And outdoor seating was missing. But the house served us well, hosts were very responsive to any questions or issues we had, and the location was convenient to the handful of nearby restaurants.

Absolutely loved our stay!! Very quiet area. Clean, inside and out. Loved the many choices of kayaks as well. We saw 5 manatees in front of the house. And several turtles. Definitely recommend.

Family of 5 staying for the very 1st time on the Weeki Wachee. What a dream! For those of you reading these comments and have never been: the Weeki Wachee is a CRYSTAL CLEAR spring-fed river that pours out into the gulf. Water temps are 70's year round.If you're looking at pics of the property, you may notice the water appears murky. That's because the house is situated on a canal outlet of the river...but all you have to do is take a short kayak trip and you'll be in beautiful waters in no time. The canal itself is fine and very swimmable. Apparently alligators are very rare, or so we were told from multiple sources.The whole vacation I was annoyingly obsessed with seeing a manatee. We trekked up and down the river but never saw one...until a manatee swam RIGHT BY OUR DOCK - on 2 separate days! Oh my goodness...might not be a big deal to the average Floridian but for a guy who grew up north, that's just nuts. We also came across lots of cool fish, turtles, and water fowl. The fish like to jump out of the water here.The house itself was very well stocked, clean, comfy, with a bunch of kayaks and too many amenities to mention. My family really appreciated the retro theme, which the owners clearly put a lot of thought and effort into. Just an amazing stay. Complaints 0.
