About this property

Stunning upper Rainbow River view even from inside the home! Kayaks/paddleboards

Spacious, (3200 sq ft) light-filled, comfortable home with views of the Rainbow River from almost every room. This is the ideal river location with a popular spring for divers and snorkelers just in front of the house. Located upstream from the KP Hole tuber start point, this is a tranquil, peaceful spot. You can enjoy a half mile float to the KP hole with a short walk home, or kayak/tube the entire length to Swampy’s. The head springs is an easy 0.7 mile kayak trip upstream.

There is a detached building with washer, dryer , as well as additional queen/twin beds for additional $50 linen/cleaning fee (per stay). This may work well for extended families with grandparents or parents of small children who would like to retire early. Monthly rentals available November-March at 25% discount.

We are dedicated to preserving the peace of this beautiful place for our lovely neighbors. This is a family property, currently only available for weekly or monthly rentals (Saturday-Saturday only, during summer months.). No parties nor day guests are allowed. There is a strict non- smoking, no pet policy. Exterior security cameras are present to ensure policies and for guest safety.

This is our first year to rent the home, and we have worked hard to furnish it comfortably, complete with all new linens, dishes, smart televisions, washer/dryer and kitchen supplies.

The local kayak rental charges $45 per day in addition to $5 park admission and taxes. At Roy G Biv’s the use of 6 adult kayaks, 3 youth kayaks and 3 paddle boards is included with your stay. Tubes are also available. No boat docking/tie-up is available on the property.

There is so much to do in this area, including scalloping and manatee tours in nearby Crystal River, world class fishing on the Withlacoochee River and Gulf Coast, and Orlando amusement parks two hours away. The home is 17 miles from the new Ocala World Equestrian Center, and five minutes from renowned Juliette Falls Golf course.

Our favorite rental on Rainbow River
This house is perfect for our family. Our stay was with my husband and two adult kids and my brother, his wife and adult kid. We had two adult kids missing this year but they would have had available beds. We loved the shaded river side patio and the plethora of hang out spaces inside. The view from inside is as good as outside! Owners and property maintenance person are excellent communicators. We couldn't be happier.

Awesome location. Awesome river and great open layout of house.
We spent a week there with a varying number of people (some couldn't stay whole week). We spent most of our time on the river. We started with a lot of kayaking but ended up really loving the paddleboards. I'm not good with balance things but was able to do it pretty good and enjoyed it more than the kayak. Just don't forget to put the fin down for steering. The house was in very good shape. The kitchen, dining room, and living room are all in one big open area which worked out great for us. There was plenty of room for all of us to hang out together. That where we were most of the time we weren't on the river. The house was very well supplied with entertainment. The large number of kayaks, rafts, and paddleboards meant that we all could be on the river. We ended up not needing any other entertainment than what was provided. The river temperature is great! We loved that it would keep us cool even on hot days. We all had a wonderful time.

Rainbow River Never Disappoints
Everything was perfect in every way! The house was large enough for our group of nine. The kitchen was the best stocked of any we have rented and the owner was easy to work with. I will definitely stay again and highly recommend this house for your next visit to Rainbow Springs! Thanks for everything, it was a trip we will always remember!
