Amazing rainbow river getaway!

House was just as advertised! Was convenient to walk drive or golf cart down to the river. Great swimming hole at the ramp. Had a blast, house has cold AC, plenty of games and activities for the kids. Ended up using the kayaks and it was very easy to load and hookup the golf cart trailer. We will be back.

Weekend Escape

Chaz's place is amazing! He is responsive and ensures that you're going to have a great stay. This place has the perfect set up....plenty of tubes and kayaks for a river adventure! The best part was having the use of a golf cart and trailer that made transport to the river so easy and efficient! Chaz provides everything you could possibly need to enjoy a weekend escape from reality. The beds are comfortable and the space is perfect. He also provides a grill if you want to cook out at the private park with the river access. The park is so close with plenty of parking to enjoy the whole day floating, kayaking, or paddle boarding. I will definitely stay here again in the future!

Big Brother - Glorified single-wide trailer

VRBO listing makes no mention of video surveillance...and the host watches it intently in effort to make more money. I also suspect audio recording occurs, which is illegal without consent in FL. If a single-wide trailer while being intently recorded by multie cameras the entire time is your thing, this place is for you! I have to get the State AG involved to recoup my money. Host is dishonest.

Rio Vista retreat

Chaz the owner was very responsive . Resonded in a timely manner . We had a great time. Couple of Malibu or ocean kayak tandems added in the future would be a great addition to his fleet of kayaks. The ten foot singles are a little taxing to reach the head spring especially if you are new to kayaking. Also bring some dawn detergent, provided dish soap a little ineffective. The place looked and smelled clean. I was impressed for an older trailer no musty smell whatsoever . Great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Ac worked perfectly.

Kayakers dream

My family enjoyed our short stay and kayaking on the Rainbow River. This home was very clean upon arrival. We had everything we needed for cooking and comfort during our stay and had all our questions promptly answered by the host. It was fun and convenient to use the golf cart to transport kayaks to the neighborhood boat launch. It was a nice little spot to wade in the water at the launch site as well - very pretty place.

This house was great. We had the best time. Everything we needed and more was there. Chaz was awesome. Responded immediately and thought of Everything. The kids had so much to do and were never bored. The boat ramp/ park area was great. We hung out there all day on Sunday. Kayaks, kids games, extentisive movie collection, and pontoon boat were all put to good use. Beds were super comfortable. We will definitely be back. Thanks again Chaz for an amazing stay!!!

Everything and More

Chaz went above and beyond to make sure our two families “adults and kids” had everything anyone would need to enjoy and unwind for a weekend of fun on the river and at home. If anything we over packed because Chaz had all of the necessities covered inside and out. There was plenty of yard games, fire wood, kayaks, tubes, paddle boards, bikes, and the golf carts for transport. I had a really hard time leaving the hammock at night while staring up at the gorgeous night sky and stars by the fire. The Jon boat rental was perfect for getting up and down the river and the community park was beautiful and close to the rental. He was always accommodating and gave us the best suggestions on places to see and what to do while on the river. We will 100% be back to stay next time we visit Rainbow river. There is no other place we would rather stay. Thanks for an unforgettable weekend!!!

Chaz thought of everything!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & communication with the property owner, Chaz, was top notch! The property is well kept & a quick golf cart ride to Rainbow Springs. We were able to enjoy ever moment of our stay because Chaz has thought of everything that could possibly be wanted & needed, down to the smallest of details. Now last but certainly not least, I have to rave on the John boat named Jenny. She is just the right size for maneuvering the river. With just a little gas, she provided an easy & carefree day of fun on the water for our family of 4. We will definitely be back!
