FANTASTIC! When you rent a VRBO you are renting a home away from home. The owners of this VRBO have exceeded that expectation. The home is not only very clean comfortable but also has more than everything that you could ever need. The yard is secure and your dog will love it. Location: The location is very quiet and in a very nice neighbourhood. Rio Vista park where you have access to the rainbow river is close by and very nice. You could have a picnic under cover or sit with you feet in the cool river. The house comes with brand new paddleboard and kayaks for exploring the river. We saw otters and a lot of other species of wildlife. There is a winn dixie and a publix within a few minutes for groceries and plenty of restaurants near by too. Hosts: I did not read the messages well and I missed the door code. I reached out to the owner and the response time was super fast. The host provided the code within minutes. Check-in/Check-out: This was by far the easiest and fastest check out process I have experienced. Very little is asked of the guests. I did more than was asked as I was very happy to help the hosts cleaning crew as it was optional. I love this approach as you really want to leave this place better than you found it as the host you can tell have put so much effort into making your stay perfect. We will be back for sure and would like to thank the hosts for an unforgettable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Karen McCulley

Host profile image
We moved to Dunnellon in 2016 from South Florida after Ed's retirement. We always loved the old Florida nature of this area rather than the beach scene. The rivers are beautiful here and the town is small enough for the cozy feel and large enough to offer most everything without needing to head to Ocala. We love nature, hiking with our dogs, kayaking and tubing down the Rainbow River in the heat of the summer. We enjoy hosting guests that are looking for the small town get away that is a nature lovers paradise .

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is safe, quiet, friendly, and has a private park on the rainbow river for owners and guests to enjoy.
