Welcome to the world-famous Weeki Wachee area—home of the legendary mermaids, crystal-clear springs, and one of Florida's most in-demand vacation destinations. This is a currently operating Airbnb that sleeps 10 and has been renting for approximately 350/night, making it an exciting opportunity for investors or anyone wanting a flexible second home with income potential. Situated on a DOUBLE LOT with an impressive 100 FT of WATER FRONTAGE, this waterfront retreat includes a seawall and a prime boating location on the boating section west of the bridge. The canal runs directly to the Main River with Gulf Access, so days on the water are effortless. And the best part? Manatees are common visitors behind the home, adding a true ''only in Florida'' experience guests love. Inside, enjoy an open floor plan with durable vinyl flooring and a kitchen designed for entertaining: island/breakfast bar with pendant lights, white shaker cabinets, built-in pantry, and stainless steel appliances including a double oven, plus a dedicated coffee bar. Practical extras include a stackable washer & dryer—ideal for rental turnover. The layout is a standout with 4 Bedrooms and 4 Bathrooms—EVERY bedroom has its own bathroom (a rare and highly desirable setup for short-term rentals and guests). Unwind in the Florida Room with a bar overlooking the waterfront, or take the party outside to the screened cabana/gazebo—perfect for relaxing evenings after kayaking, boating, or a spring day in mermaid country. NEW ROOF prior to closing to help get a good insurance quote. A Weeki Wachee Gulf-access waterfront income producer with manatees, a bar room on the water, and a 4/4 ensuite layout—this one is special.
