Everything you need

My wife and I stayed for a month in this VRBO that meet all our wishes and more. The home was exactly as described, extremely clean, well stocked and in a great location close to the Rainbow River. We used the bikes every day and the 4 kayaks were easy to take to the river a few minutes away.We would recommend this home to anyone who wants a quite, safe location in the Dunnellon area close to the river.

Nice stay at Rainbow River

Very clean and modern house. This house was one of the nicest vrbos in the neighborhood. Home has everything you need. Beds were comfortable and all the rooms had smart Tvs. The backyard is fully fenced. Quiet street and neighborhood. I recommend staying at this home!

AMAZING!

The property was super nice, comfortable, clean, well equiped and perfectly fitted our group size. More to the point, it was walking distance to the Rainbow River where we enjoyed paddling daily with the incredible wildlife. We also biked from the location. In summary, it ticked all our boxes and we will rebook for next year for sure.

Best VRBO ever!

Loved this home. Beautiful, clean and well stocked. Hosts thought of everything to make our stay spectacular. Provided lots of area info, plus kayaks, bikes and paddle boards to thoroughly enjoy Rainbow Springs State Park and river, Crystal Springs and the Chass! So many manatees! Highly recommend if you are vacationing in the area. Several restaurants within walking distance. Dunnellon a friendly little town.

Spectacular stay!

This house has it ALL! It is clean, it is central, beds are comfy, ac super cold, and it has all your needs taken care of! Forget over packing by bringing everything from home, this kitchen has got it! The outdoor shed has bikes, kayaks and some games. Everything is wonderfully decorated in the home and they have everything organized for easy use. We lived drinking out coffee in the morning and watching the birds feed in the feeder they have and it was truly blissful. Thanks for letting us stay in your home and I apologize for late review, meant to do it sooner! We hope to be back some day.

The Perfect home away from home

We loved our trip so much we are returning next year! The property is newly done up, clean, cozy, and in the best place possible. It’s quiet and the wildlife is stunning. The backyard is fully fenced which gave us a piece of mind with our son. We watched so many types of bird species in the garden. The kayak’s and swim noodles were provided and gave us so much entertainment. The house is fully kitted out and carefully thought through. We loved looking at all the wildlife pictures on the walls. We walked to Swampy’s Bar and Grill many times and witnessed baby Crane’s growing up in the neighbourhood every day walking around. Such an amazing spot , so close to everything including shops,highway,river,bar etc. Just perfect!

Loved the house!

The house suited us absolutely perfectly. It was very well appointed, we had everything we needed. The neighborhood was ultra quiet and so calming. The house was three minutes away from our family reunion rental, which was so very convenient. There wasn’t much lacking in the house, but there were a couple of things that could be looked into. One of those things was the tub in the guest bathroom, it was backing up and draining very very slowly. Probably hair in the drain, that’s what happens at my house. That was the only problem, but a suggestion would be to add a full length mirror somewhere. That was it. The rest was just perfect. You did a great job on the renovation to your house. We would definitely want to stay there again. sometime.

Everything was absolutely beautiful! Everything was new, ceiling to floor! We stayed for a week so we did a lot of cooking in the very well stocked kitchen. Our 1 and 2 year olds LOVED the fenced in yard! We really appreciated the fire pit, yard games in the shed and kayaks that were there for our use! The area is SO quiet and we felt right at home. Plenty to do within a 30 minute radius, and we really loved that Walmart was right down the street for our last minute grocery runs! There were so many cooking appliances, including: toaster oven, blender, crock pot and electric hand mixer. Plates, cups, bowls, mugs, silverware is stocked as well. My mom especially loved the coffee station! This place is clean and so inviting. We loved that there were 2 bathrooms. The host was amazing. We can’t wait to come down from NY and stay here again!

Delight in Dunnellon

Perfect place for enjoying Rainbow Springs. The home is lovely and the fenced yard with firepit was the perfect play yard for the pups & kids. The kayaking supplies and bikes were wonderful. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Host provided so many extras- coffee, trash bags, etc. spacious king beds

Florida vacation

Visited family in the area. House was clean and as described online. Hurricane Milton came through during our stay and we were nervous about what to do, but the site manager dropped by a couple times before it hit and explained to us what to expect, which helped. Overall great experience and would recommend this property.
