About this property

Private pool w/ tropical Oasis setting and minutes to Rainbow River access

  • Are you looking for a relaxing atmosphere for that weekend getaway or monthly winter vacation? Want to enjoy the Florida outdoors in your own private tropical oasis? this comfortable home is a great place to do just that. It's a great place to relax, unwind, and getaway from" life in the fast lane". Outdoor activities are the focus of the area. Hiking, biking, walking, kayaking, tubing, boating, fishing, swimming, its all here. Begin your day sitting on the deck or beside the pool enjoying your morning coffee.
    The Pool can be heated for $15 a night, $75 for the week and $125 for the month. The temperature is set at 83 degrees. It could go higher with lots of sun and use of the solar blanket. January we have some pretty cold days so I cannot heat unless a 2 week notice is given to guarantee heat to 83 degrees when you arrive. If the temperature stays below freezing for an extended time the pool cannot be heated. It is an electric heater. The pool cover will need to be rolled out at night and rolled up if swimming during the day.
    We are located within the Rio Vista Community of Dunnellon. KP Hole and Rainbow River State Pare are close by. We are located within minutes of restaurants and shopping.
    After a day of outside activities come sit poolside with your own outside bar area (BYOB), beverage cooler, TV, deck with a gas grill, and table for 6 for outside dining. Take a night swim in the pool using the beach entry.
    There is a community park just a few minutes walk or rent the golf cart and drive it down with our kayaks or canoe to the boat ramp on the Rainbow River.
    The house is decorated with a coastal cottage feel from the coffee bar to the picket fence headboard in the master bedroom. The living room furniture is very comfortable with and oversized recliner and U-shaped sectional. The front of the house has a glassed sunroom for added seating for your relaxation.
    Both bedrooms have queen size beds and the sun room has a queen futon with its own air conditioner and heater. Master bathrooms has a tub/shower combo and guest bath has walk in shower.
    We have xfinity Wi-Fi and smart TV. Netflix and fubo tv provided. We also have games, movies, and books for your entertainment.
    Ocala and Crystal River are only 30 minutes away.
    Come enjoy all Dunnellon and the area has to offer.

We had an excellent stay for Spring Break! The home was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a short stay. The pool was amazing! The owner was so kind and accommodating when we asked to bring our dog last minute. This Spring Break trip was a hit for our whole family.

We enjoyed our quick getaway-the backyard was a private peaceful retreat. Was able to get work done while the kids played in the pool. We enjoyed the easy access to the river to launch our kayaks and paddleboards during the day and gathering around the fire pit at night. Thank you for opening your home to us!

What a PERFECT place! This home has everything you could possibly need, and more. We didn't even use the kayaks and the golf cart! The pool is lovely and this home is decorated so beautifully, we are ready to turn around and come right back. But real life calls and we must heed. Soon though, we will book again! We had a wonderful time for our one-year anniversary and Michael's 71st birthday. Thank you, great host!

This is the third time we’ve stayed at this property and plan to stay there again next year. It’s a lovely spot with a very romantic pool and patio area. If you are into kayaking, the community launcharea is very handy and easy to get in and out. Convenient to shopping and restaurants.

Cute River House

Perfect house for a weekend (or longer) getaway. House was very clean and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. The extra amenities including the pool, kayaks, and golf cart are a great touch. Only issue was we didn’t get to stay longer to truly enjoy the house and the area. We will be back!

Exactly what it says it is!

The property was great - the yard is exactly as pictured, probably bigger than it looks, and very well maintained. A lot of thought has gone into the amenities to ensure guests have everything they need while there. If you're booking here specifically to go to Rainbow Springs - DO IT!!! The private access is absolutely worth not having to deal with the public entrance at the state park! We brought our boat and the private boat ramp was AMAZING to drop in, tube for a few hours, and then tow us back on the boat. No waking up at dawn hoping it doesn't hit capacity. Had such a great time - will book again in the future.

Much more than I expected

This property owner has thought of everything and made sure you will have whatever you need. Don't worry about forgetting anything. They will have it for you there. The pictures of this house do not do it justice. The outdoor/backyard area is an oasis and you will not want to leave. The access to the river is super close and the kayaks were easy to load on the golf cart trailer to tote down to the river. We spent the weekend with our college aged kids playing games and enjoying the great location. The back yard is excellent for star gazing. We will definitely plan on coming back.

Peaceful oasis

Perfect place to recharge with the Lord. The pool backyard was so peaceful, was like having a private resort pool to yourself, n I loved playing basketball everyday. Bummed we left our kayaks at home to take on the river. Make sure you have drain plugs in kayaks or u will sink, we had great communication with Leslie she ordered plugs for them.The private access park was perfect to swim n meet bunch of great people during our stay. House is quaint, neighborhood is so quiet peaceful n everyone so nice. Beds comfy just what was needed for overworking myself at my business. We normally go to kp hole when we visit that area to kayak, but the private access is a great spot to drop them. Will definitely book here again. This is a great gem.
