The House
Why Stay at Groovy Granny's?
Come spend a few days relaxing in the refreshingly cool spring water, float the river in our kayaks, and take a nap on the hammock. We operate on river time - it’s the best place to leave busy life behind for a few days and unwind!
Indoor Fabulousness
The cottage is perfectly situated on a peaceful canal just off the bustling Weeki Wachee River, centrally located between Weeki Wachee Springs and the Gulf.
Swim & fish right off the dock, watch the Mullet jump and the Manatee swim by, and relax bug-free on the screened lanai. When you're ready to head out on the river, the kayak stabilizer makes for an easier kayak launch and you'll be on the crystal clear river in just a few short paddles. All that's missing from The Funky Flamingo River Cottage is you!
The Ultimate Texas Yard
Inside, the comfy living room is ready for fun game nights and features a new 60 inch Smart TV for movies. The whole house was just updated with new hurricane / sound reducing windows, so it is even more quiet and peaceful at night. A dedicated work space is tucked away in the main bedroom so you can sneak away to use the free WIFI for a little work if needed.
All the Amenities!
Comforts of Home
We try to help you pack light! From a portable crib and kids’ dishes, to a cooler for you to take on a picnic at the beach - we try to have it there for you!
The kitchen is well stocked with what you’ll need to make yummy meals, including an instant pot, new oven with an air fryer function, and even an ice cream maker. A coffee bar is stocked with coffee, creamers, and sugar options so you can hit the ground running your first morning.
Fun for Everyone!
Everyone gravitates towards the huge screened-in Lanai, it’s the heart of the home - even if it is technically outside. Spend hours relaxing on the comfy furniture while enjoying the views, eat an outdoor but insect free lunch at the picnic table, then play some foosball, checkers, or chess when you’re ready for some friendly competition. This side of the house gets morning light and afternoon shade, so it’s the perfect place to hang out and enjoy the breeze all day long.

Meet your hosts:
Howdy!
We’re a family of Texans who fell in love with Weeki Wachee when we visited our Aunt & Uncle’s cabin a few years ago. When they decided to sell, we knew it was a sign! We packed up, headed to Florida, and spent the next few months building off of the blue stripes my Aunt had started on the outside, and renovated the house into the Funky Flamingo River Cottage it is today!
After spending a lot of time in vacation rentals with young children, we tried to make Funky as family friendly as possible with everything you might need but not be able to pack - no light blaring in the kids room at 7 am here! Or worrying about kiddos breaking priceless knick knacks. Relaxed & comfy is the goal!
