"Our stay was fantastic. The property was clean, grass was well maintained, and everything was as described or shown in the photos. Jonathan, the property manager, was very quick with answering any questions we had arise. The pool was clean and very refreshing in the crazy Florida heat. The view of the lake was very peaceful and relaxing."

"Terrible. Ended up spending another $1,600 last minute to stay elsewhere. This is not an air bnb or anything similar. It’s is one child size bedroom in a rude old lady’s house. It is intentional false advertising. The “shared bathroom” clause is supposed to have you assume you will be sharing the place with the elderly woman that lives there and whatever guests she has in another room. She called us that day and corrected our grammar and was very rude. Upon arrival, we walked past a living area...

Wake up to river views:dreamy 4 bedrooms escape by the city beach in Dunnellon.

10/10 Excellent
"Great air bnb!!!! Big house, really interesting floor plan. 3 stories so be ready for stairs!!! Bottom floor has bunk bed room w bathroom (mind the step down when entering this room!!), a mini kitchen, bedroom w queen and little den w couch. The only way into backyard (where grill and hottub are located) is through these ground floor bedrooms. Middle floor has big bedroom with giant en suite, kitchen, patio, small living room w tv and fake/digital fireplace ( - kinda cool) another bedroom w 2 single beds and another bathroom. Top floor has giant couch, TV and gaming system....house is literally in parking lot for small city park/"beach" so u can watch water and people all day and for 2 bucks can go get in the water during the day - no launching there though and closes before dark. Very fun place for our little crew to stay. House has all the basic necessities and some extras....very happy with the stay overall!!! Super close to Rainbow River canoe and kayak rental places!! Bnb is walking distance to a few restaurants as well. Pretty convenient location "
