About this property
4 BR House w/ heat-pump pool!
This beautiful and relaxing 4-BR, pet-friendly, pool-home getaway is located two minutes from the Rainbow River in Dunnellon. With a heat-pump the pool stays comfortable year round. Most pools in Florida just use solar which will struggle to keep up in the cooler months of November to March. Our home has BOTH solar and a heat-pump.
Make sure you stay where you get the most out of the pool you pay for.
When you head out to see the sights you will be located within an easy drive of beaches, like Hunter Springs, or Fort Island on the Gulf. Or you can head out to our favorite attractions on the Nature Coast of Florida - the Springs - like Homosassa, Silver Springs, Ichetucknee, Gilchrist Blue, Manatee Springs, and so many more.
Dunnellon is a lovely little town with wonderful eateries like Lugo's Cuban, Gyros King, and don't miss the famous Front Porch Restaurant and Pie Shop.
Furnished and decorated with an eclectic beach style, you will find it wonderful to come home to after long days spent exploring. Of course nothing beats spending a stay-in day relaxing by the pool passing the time with family and friends.

About the host
Hosted by Peter and Laura Mapes

We are a family from Fort Wayne Indiana. Peter is a career firefighter and Laura is a stay-at-home mom. Our 3 boys love this house and hope you will too!
Why they chose this property
We visit this area of Florida every year to see grandparents. This year (2022) we decided to get a house ourselves to accommodate our growing family (3 sons with a 4th on the way!). During our three weeks getting it ready to rent our two oldest could not be kept out of the pool, or off their bikes all over the neighborhood. This house has a secluded quiet vibe and is a relaxing place to spend a vacation.
What makes this property unique
Centrally located between the springs to the North and the Gulf activities to the south, yet boasts a fairer attraction then both (to our eyes at least): the Rainbow River. A crystal clear five mile paradise that is unparalleled. Its natural beauty has been preserved against the encroachments of over-development and a paddle down the river is nearly sure to be a serene memory.
The town itself is friendly and surprisingly well stocked for food options. Cuban, cajun, greek and even greasy spoon. There is no lack of good options.
