Beautiful home with great neighbor to the north on a canal that connects directly to the rainbow river. This home is everything that the pictures and description say it is, including updated interiors and plenty of watercraft to enjoy the river.

Amazing

Very clean and completely updated. Comfortable furniture, lots of space, plenty of dish choices. The most paper products provided of any place we have stayed. We kayaked and paddle-boarded daily. Access to the river is very easy. Wildlife is abundant. Good food choices in town and close by (Don Pepe's and The Breakfast Station were our favorites). Swampy's is close enough to walk to. Close to lots of historic sites and walking/biking trails. So much to do that we would never run out of things. Most mornings spent sitting by the river. The only things I would suggest to future renters is to bring bug repellant and sunscreen for your outdoor adventures.

All the comforts of home

The pictures on site are exactly what it looks like inside and out. Very clean inside. The king beds are comfortable as well as the pull out couch bed. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils and cookware. The hostess was very easy to contact and had supplied all the necessities including bug fogger, citronella candles and bug spray for outdoor comfort. Rainbow river is easily assessable from the cove. The teens enjoyed learning to paddle board with the provided boards. The tandem kayaks were a little hard to maneuver but we enjoyed the convenience. We brought kayaks, too, and there was plenty of room in the garage to store them. The neighborhood was friendly and we felt like we were at home! We would recommend this property for those wanting to kayak the “ Blue Run” and who want to relax and enjoy the great outdoors.

Wonderful house, great location

The house is spacious and the backyard is perfect for hanging out and swimming or kayaking. Our family really enjoyed our stay. Kelley was also very easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautifully updated home on the river

The home was beyond our expectations and we enjoyed every minute on the back patio overlooking the river. It is well-appointed, incredibly comfortable, leaves plenty of room to spread out with a group, and ideally located— just a short drive to Rainbow River state park and Crystal river. Tons of water toys are available and we loved taking the SUPs and kayaks out to explore the surrounding waters

Perfect family vacation spot!

This was absolutely the perfect spot for a family. The house was clean, updated and no clutter which made it very easy to have a toddler here. The beds were absolutely amazing!! The outdoor space was beautiful with easy access to rainbow river, only about a five minute paddle. Plenty of floats, kayaks, paddle boards are all available as well as, some fishing rods. Kelly, the owner made our stay stress-free with having a fully equipped house!! We will definitely be staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by Kelley Sempert

Host profile image
For many years my family has enjoyed coming to the Rainbow River to enjoy the crystal clear water and abundance of wildlife. Our favorite day is floating on the river and enjoying dinner by the water at one of the local eateries.

Why they chose this property

When I was looking for our vacation home, I knew I wanted to be able to drop a kayak or paddleboard and just explore Rainbow River, but also close to grocery stores and restaurants. This home is perfect for a family getaway or a weekend with friends.
