NOTE: We do have a pool available for use, however we’ve temporarily removed the normal exterior photos of the pool and lanai from our listings. We have orange netting barricade around the pool for insurance purposes, and the pool doesn't have the pool cage. We are working on replacing the lanai that was destroyed by Hurricane Milton and will have updated photos once it’s fixed. Thank you for your understanding.

Peaceful Home near Rainbow Stare Park

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The property manager was in communication with us from the time we booked until after we checked out. The home was clean and comfortable. They included such nice touches like a welcome basket of snacks, coffee Keurig cups, use of games, pool floats, doggie bowls, leash, washer and dryer etc. We wanted to use the kayaks, but just didn’t have time to work it into our schedule. It was a nice retreat to rest in between our activities at the state park. Highly recommend!

Perfect place for vacay!

The property was perfect and had all the necessary accommodations. It was super close to Rainbow Springs and a grocery store which was very convenient. My husband, children and I had an amazing time at Rainbow Springs and while we were not at the spring the kids had a blast playing in the pool also. There is so many games for the kids and the kitchen is stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need. I cannot rave enough about the fun that we had and the friendliness of the owner. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to my family and friends.

Stayed here because of the kayaks

We chose this rental house because of the kayaks that came with it. We were near our family and have enjoyed the Rainbow Springs area before. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. The pool is just big enough to enjoy a cool splash. We thoroughly enjoyed taking advantage of the large TV to watch movies with our family. We are truckdrivers and typically end up watching movies on our phones.

Quiet Retreat

Property was bigger and better than we imagined! It was laid out so nicely with open kitchen, dining and living which also flowed right into pool area. Pool is small but fire table and lights make it cozy for evening dips. Lots of games and books. Kitchen was well stocked and we made many meals. Bedrooms are spacious and each has a full bath. The kayaks were fun and easy to move on the trailer. Rainbow River was a blast! But also the only thing to do within an hourish drive. We did have a couple glitches worth mentioning: driveway is a long single driveway so we did a lot of switching of vehicles. The neighbor was an odd man and it often felt like he was watching us. The cleaning crew did not leave enough garbage bags and would not bring more so we used grocery bags for 2 days. However on our last day with a check out time of 11am the cleaners were sitting outside the property at 8:30 am, just waiting for us to leave. Overall I do recommend!. Its a great value for a quiet, lowkey stay. Jesse, the owner was easy to deal withand responded quickly. gjigghuspaciousand both have bathrooms
