Camp Manatee - Luxury Riverfront Cabin, Stunning Views, Pet-Friendly + Kayaks!
We offer kayaks and paddles for guests to use on the river during their stay. Guests visiting in the winter months may catch a glimpse of our favorite manatee visitors!
Camp Manatee is a stilt home with all the major living areas upstairs (please note that you will need to climb up a flight of stairs to enter the home.) There are three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a fully-equipped kitchen and dining table. The living area has comfortable leather couches and faces the river. You are sure to catch some lovely river views along the wraparound porch off the back of the home. There are four TVs, all equipped with streaming services for you to stream your favorite shows during your stay.
Our property also features an additional 25 acres of vacant land adjacent to the property, just across the Santa Fe River. If you are looking to relax and get back in touch with nature, this is a must-visit spot for you!
There is wildlife all around you at Camp Manatee – on land and in the river. You may see deer, wild hogs, turkeys, squirrels, snakes, and rabbits during your visit. Some of the wildlife may be dangerous, and we advise all guests to be aware of their surroundings while on the property. Please note that our home is in a camp-like setting and guests may encounter bugs including ticks or fleas. We do have a pest control company that regularly services the property.
The Santa Fe River is fed by 36 named major springs. Countless other unnamed minor and micro springs dot the river just waiting to be found and explored!
