We had a fantastic day at Chad‘s Diver’s Inn. The location couldn’t have been better - close to local parks and attractions, which made it easy to explore and enjoy everything. The area has to offer. We especially appreciated the generous extras like the kayaks and golf cart, which really elevated the experience and made getting around both fun and convenient. The home itself was spotless and clearly well cared for, which made settling in effortless. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made meals at home more comfortable. Chad was a true 5-star Superhost - friendly, responsive, and on top of every detail, including Park passes, and restaurant suggestions. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and we always felt well taken care of. Check in and check out was a breeze! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will absolutely be returning in the future. Highly recommend!

Such a fun place to visit and great times on the Rainbow River. Golf cart and trailer is available for use to load kayaks or boards to KP hole or the Vista Private Park Down the road on the right. Such a great perk making it easily a place I would love to book again. Back yard fenced in with a fire pit and bbq grills. The locals are super friendly and helpful. Such a great time, thanks Chaz!

Great job Chaz on communication and putting in all the right toys at the property. Thanks for the games on the porch, access to TV, great kayaks and paddleboards. Nice touch with the map drawn on the golf cart as you drive around the neighborhood! The six acre, gated park on the river was excellent!

Diver's Inn was perfect for our purposes.

Neat and clean. Access to the river was close and the golf cart was a perfect way to get there fast. Electric went out around 5 pm on the 1st night til 1:30 due to a storm. Chaz was happy to make up for the inconvenience although it was no fault of his or the owner's. We really appreciated that and hope to be back again soon.

This was our first stay on Rainbow River. I'm not sure if it was all of the amenities or the host (Chaz) that was the highlight of the trip, but both were fantastic. We messaged him on the second day (in the morning) to ask some advice about how best to take advantage of uitlizing KP Hole with the equipment he has at the rental. He not only answered immediately, he provided us with information that helped us have an amazing day on the water and also saved us noticable money in the long run. This experience was memorable for us and our boys and we would certainly rent here again if we travel to the river in the future.

Great place!

Altho the outside of this house is mediocre to say the best the inside is great. Clean. More than enough space . Attached bathrooms with 1 being a walk in shower which meant a lot to me since I had broken my ankle b4 going there. All amenities. Fans and good a/c. Great lanai but soft cushions fir iron chairs would have been nice. Association access to Rainbow River is huge plus and this house offers all the toys necessary to enjoy the water. I would recommend this place to everyone and don't be put off by the outside!

Great place!

This is a great place to stay, it is a short drive on the golf cart to the water. It has everything you need (kayaks, paddle boards and fishing poles). We took advantage of the local attractions (KP hole and the state park). You can also put the kayaks in at the boat ramp and went down river to Blue Run park, you will need someone to pick you up or purchase a shuttle service. If you are getting a rental car, get a pick up. The only thing that too my by surprise was the $25 extra person person/per night for more than 2 people. We had 4 people in our family so I paid an extra $200.

Pro's and con's to staying here. We stayed 2 weeks. Pro's include a clean and comfortable home. Well stocked kitchen. The real bonus for us was the dark and quiet neighborhood after hours. The golf cart was nice for commuting to and from the Rio Vista riverside park but we mostly just used our bikes. The riverside park access was the saving grace for us. Without that piece of refreshing green space, there wasn't much else to enjoy for outdoor enthusiasts like ourselves. Con's: No bike trail access. We discovered a 2-track through the woods that eventually connected with the Dunnellon bike trail 2 miles away. This has no direct correlation to the rental but just a note worth considering. Inside had no bedside tables for small items like a clock, phone, water bottle etc. Mattress covers were plastic and impossibly hot to sleep on for us non-bed wetters. Internet was weak and progressively worsened by the weekend. Chaz responded to our informing him of that but we had already moved on to other forms of entertainment. The real turn off was this. About 3 days into our stay a friend from a nearby town came to visit for a couple of hours so we could plan an outing together. Within minutes of their arrival we were emailed that property management had noticed we had an unregistered guest on the property. No mention in booking that we needed to inform mgmt that we might have visiting guests. We felt like we were under constant surveillance our entire stay.
