What a lovely time we had. Cooked dinner, went to some of the best restaurants with the nicest of people who served us. The neighborhood is peaceful and great for walking our dogs. We had great adventures on the rainbow and withlachoocie rivers kayaking for two days. We also biked 14 miles from Inverness to Floral City. We saw otters, turtles, fish and beautiful birds. The recharge we all needed…..especially our dogs.
Karen & Ed's properties never disappoint! We have stayed in all of them over the years with our pack & every need or want is met! Each house has its own charm & you couldn't ask for better hosts!
We stay at many different places as we travel, and this was one of our favorite places. It was quickly apparent that this house was thoroughly thought out. It was easy to see that the owners provided for every possible need. And the house itself is beautiful and meticulously clean and well put together. My wife and I highly recommend you consider this place for your travel needs. It was an awesome experience.
This VRBO is amazing! The location is awesome and just a short walk to the riverside park where you can swim, fish, launch a boat and put in kayaks, paddle boards and tubes. We did just that. One day we took the paddle boards that are in the garage and put in at Rainbow Springs State Park just 10-15 minutes away. Then paddled down to Rio Vista park. Lovely day. Another day we put in with paddle boards and kayaks and paddled up river to KP Hole then back down. Lots of otters were out and about. If you’re staying here and looking for something to do, go to Devils Den in Dunnellon and snorkel the cave! You need a reservation but it is soooo much fun. The house was perfect and super clean. Very comfortable beds, couches and chairs. Nice kitchen with GOOD pots and pans, not cheap ones. Cooking and cleaning was easy. The Florida room with AC was nice! And the fenced in yard was well kept and our furry friends were safe and secure. Take advantage of the paddle boards, kayaks and tubes! Instructions are included for the SUPs. This house is great and we will most likely come back because we love this area!!

Thank you for leaving a detailed review it was great hosting you and your group with the great condition that you left our house we would love to have you back anytime
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.

It was our pleasure to host you at our Rio Vista home. The cleaning crew reported that you left the house beyond clean and organized and very much appreciated that. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed our lovely private park on the Rainbow. Thank you for letting me know that the special touches we add are appreciated. You are welcome back anytime.
Everything was there for you. And there were a lot of nice touches too. This is a river retreat and there are kayaks and paddle boards available and safety equipment. Very cool. Beds were really comfy and the lenai was very spacious. A nice coffee station too. We were very happy
The house was perfect! Easy access to kayaking the Rainbow River via the big park around the corner. The house had everything we needed.

About the host
Hosted by Karen McCulley
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 .
