Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Rainbow River

Kelley’s place was excellent. High quality furnishings and spotlessly clean. The place was awesome and worth the price paid which was reasonable for what we received. It felt like a combination of a five star hotel and home. Our host communicated very clearly both prior to and during our visit.

We really enjoyed our stay! Great price, great location! Minutes from the beach & great seafood. Thanks, Tom!

Peaceful place on the river! Very close to a public boat ramp. Also close to local restaurants and stores.

Beautiful home and peaceful neighborhood! We only stayed for one night, but overall the home was very clean and pleasant.

Susan’s place was great, really peaceful, we had canoes and barbecues and a place called the freezer just down the road, a short bike ride away, ice cream bar everyone in in area is super friendly, we’d totally recommend it to anyone. A great place to stay.

This is a wonderful property in a wonderful, scenic part of Florida, Rainbow Springs. The home is located on a small cove that is adjacent to the springs so accessing the water of the Rainbow River and the Withlacoochee River is as easy as it gets. The home is well equipped for vacationers and very comfortable and beautiful. Our family loves this spot and have returned multiple times. Couldn't be better!

We loved our stay here so much! Everything was well thought out. My daughter wanted to play the record player but has never seen one and didn’t know how to. There was a QR code right there to scan! Everything was clean, plenty of cookware, a grill with gas, kayaks and a peddle boat. I enjoyed having my coffee every morning outside watching the birds. The beds were comfy, a lovely living room. We really enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay at Chimera. We brought our own tubes and floated from their other property upriver and back to this property saving us $120. The float took about an hour and a half. Parking at their other location was well marked. The walk from this rental back to the other location to pick up our vehicle took about 40 minutes. The walk was through a neighborhood slightly uphill without side walks. It’s not a bad walk for adults or teenagers. Using the kayaks was great.The river water by the private dock directly on the river at Chimera has two sandy river bottom patches we stood in and swam around. The current river depth was about five feet by the dock. We saw Fred the bird, fish, small turtles, a young bobcat, and four otters swimming/feeding by the dock almost every day. We did not see any alligators during this stay but have along the river during previous trips which have avoided humans. Chimera is in a great river location. Hal and Sandy are friendly and take ownership pride

this place is in the most beautiful setting, so peaceful and beautiful. the hosts were outstanding. felt welcome right away. gave space to do what I wanted to do which was often just sitting in their most beautiful space and soaking it all in Do not hesitate book it !

This place had absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay in Crystal River. Our party of five had plenty of room to spread out among the three bedrooms with five beds and two bathrooms. We took my 88 year-old grandmother and so having a place that was easy for her to navigate was key. This first floor condo is close to its parking and is all one story. She was able to get around perfectly. The picture windows in the living room provided is all the entertainment and people watching we needed when we were on property relaxing. The property is spotless. We highly recommend a stay and will definitely be back.

Lovely place!! Beautiful space, felt right at home. Fabulous location, it’s a great area to walk around and accessible to so much. Excellent communication from Jill throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend this place!

I enjoyed another wonderful stay at Joyce's place (my third stay). As always, great communication and very clean and welcoming space. The neighborhood is top notch for an easy walk to historic downtown, while residing in a tranquil tree layered oasis.

Regina was friendly and helpful host, and we had a wonderful stay. She went above and beyond to help us with local recommendations. I was very grateful that she had bikes and her tandem kayak available for us to borrow to explore the area. We would love to return again to see the manatees!

We loved the location and being on the horse farm! The apartment was clean, communication was great and if you’re going to a wedding at Andalusian Oaks, it’s very close by.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Very clean and convenient to what we were doing in the area. Host was great at answering quickly any questions I had.

Our stay was very comfortable, just like we were in our own homes. The Lodge was so unique!! Hope to stay there again.

Monica is a wonderful host. She was responsive and caring during a difficult time for my family (death of a loved one). The place was in great shape and was exactly what I needed and conveniently located to where I needed to be in Ocala. Kitchen provided needed appliances, amenities and supplies where required. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean with necessary linens and supplies. Ample closet space if you are traveling with more than just a carryon. Note to anyone reading this - know that the bedrooms are on the top floor, so climbing stairs are required. Consider this when booking. Thank you Monica for the use of your place.

The property was well maintained. While it was some distance from town, it was helpful to have GPS for directions. The house was comfortably appointed and nicely decorated. It was well equipped with all necessities. The stacking washer and dryer was particularly useful and easy to use. The spiral staircase to the upstairs bedroom, however, could be a challenge for some folks. All in all, a good property, attentive host, and a good stay.

We had a blast staying at this wonderful and beautiful house for four days. Gerri made the stay unforgettable! The place was clean, everything what we needed was there. The pictures are exactly how the house looks. I highly recommend this place for everyone who wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery and to have a relaxing time in Inverness. Thank you Geri, we will definitely come back!

I had a great stay! I loved the quiet location and easy access to everything I needed. The condo was exactly as described, and very clean.

Cleanest place ever, hands down. A spotless place. It's Florida and I never saw one bug. Everyone needs a lesson on cleaning from this host.

Chris's place was lovely! Unexpectedly spacious and very comfortable. Very clean and well kept!

I had a great stay! It was exactly as advertised and I hope to stay here the next time I’m in town. The location was perfect. Within walking distance to many shops and just a short mile to the grocery store and Walmart. Tons of locally owned places for food along with chain places. My favorite thing was being so close to Rainbow Springs State Park. I went hiking a few days and it was amazing. Perfect trip!

This little place was perfect for what we were after. We wanted to be right on the water and have the ability to have a slip for our JetSki.
