It was a great stay the host was amazing and answered so fast. The no smoking anywhere on the property is difficult if you have smokers because they will wine about walking out to the road. This is definitely a new little secret getaway

I definitely recommend reading the whole welcome folder that the owner had available upon arrival. I missed some of the activities that we could have done until the last night we were there. That was totally on me though because the info was there, I just didn't see it soon enough. The amenities were excellent, community excellent and we really had a great time. Already planning a return trip in the future.

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 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!

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.

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.

To get a 2 star rating from you shows how Your ignorance is so bliss, we never had a “Hot Tub” listed on the property or even in amenities, did you even read the description or look at the pictures?? This property caters to the stay on the Rainbow River. As for the “Weather” not being to your liking so could enjoy the amenities, try scheduling you vacations to the weather, sorry, my crystal ball that tells the weather is in the shop, LMFAO!😆 “PLEASE” do not come back! Owners beware of the ignorance you will be delt with because this guest that didn’t do their due diligence and leaves a 2 Star rating because she “thought “ there was a hot tub and the weather was bad. So lame, this why I’m calling you out. Guests like you make us good hosts look bad for no reason, you jerk.

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.
