The sea walled waterfront, private dock, and dedicated kayak launch deliver effortless access to the stunning Weeki Wachee River, with the Gulf just 4 miles beyond. Adding to the property's charm is a vintage camper nestled beneath string lights, complete with a picnic table that evokes the breezy, nostalgic glow of Old Florida.
