Vacation rentals with a kayak in Saint Johns River

Great, private location in Homosassa. Easily walkable to McRae's, the Monkey Bar and a few other spots. The house is as described on AirBnB. It is spacious and comfortable. Susan is a great and quick responding host!

Loved this area and how peaceful it is. This neighborhood itself is adorable with a friendly safe welcoming vibe. The neighbors are awesome, super friendly and helpful. The house was great very comfortable and relaxing stay. Very clean and smelled great. The weather was perfect and we were in the backyard most of the time. Haven’t seen my kids off electronics like this in forever. They had so much fun fishing off the dock and playing corn hole. We enjoyed taking the golf cart to the beach and watching the sunset with the kids. Kayaking was great to watch the sunset as well. There were a few minor mishaps (things that just happen) but the owners were quick to respond and offer a solution to any issue we had. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family that want a more lowkey beach vacation.

The house was cleanly, had some nice touches like games, movies and things for kids. The swim spa was amazing and we also enjoyed the bikes and kayakes during our stay. Terry was a great host!!!

We really enjoyed our stay in this home! The host was very helpful and responsive. The highlight of our stay was definitely the ability to kayak right out the back door - we paddled out into Mud River Springs and saw manatees absolutely everywhere. It was a magical experience! The yard was peaceful and it was relaxing to sit out with coffee on the deck and watch the wildlife (squirrels, birds, fish). Situated in a small quiet neighborhood (but still close to all the activities we came to the area for), we couldn’t have imagined a more peaceful place to spend our week. We really loved this spot and hope to enjoy it again someday!

We were very happy to find this house. It was perfect for two couples. The best part was taking the provided kayaks out to seven sisters springs. Beautiful. There was also a canoe for those that don’t like kayaks.

We had a fabulous weekend at Kelly’s. We brought our 2 dogs who loved playing in the water. There were plenty of kayaks for our group, and we were close to the action on the main river but tucked back enough to where it was quiet and peaceful at night. The house was clean and updated and had everything we needed for the weekend. We will def be back!

Excellent location, great patio river view my family and I love the place. Sonia is an Excellent host!

Matt’s home is a great location with many local outdoor activities to partake in on. A private dock with kayaks was our best day out in the canals to experience countless birds and plant life on the water (not sure if I’m disappointed or relieved I didn’t see alligators😜). It was the perfect outdoor private getaway we were looking for. Matt was a great communicator!

Our stay exceeded our expectations 🤍 Kayaking and fishing was relaxing and fun! We saw dolphins from the dock, and lots of great restaurants and beach close by! Me and my fiancé got engaged on Melbourne pier during our stay! Our hosts were so friendly and accommodating! We will absolutely be back to this lovely cottage and I can’t wait! 😍

Great location and wonderful place. Super responsive host. I'd love to go back

Leanda's home was exactly what our family needed over the Christmas holiday. Morning coffee on the screened in porch with sun coming through the small tree was the best way to start our day. Her home is close to everything we wanted to do. We drove into New Smyrna Beach every day which had a variety of beach spots, shopping and restaurants to choose from. We found thrift stores and even made the 2 1/2 hour drive to Crystal River and swam with the manatees. Most importantly Leanda's home came equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen to cook meals and even offered chairs and boogie boards for us to use at the beach. Her home was the peaceful getaway we needed and Leanda was very responsive and made check-in and check-out super simple.

AMAZING. Great hosts, great place! I stayed here by myself and it was heaven on earth. I am a nature lover and this exceeded my expectations. The house & the property are stunning. The house is a lovely mix of tasteful tropical & Victorian decor. The outside is like being in the garden of Eden. So private & peaceful. I was able to meet manatees my first evening taking the kayak out; they were as interested in me as I was in them and came all around me and the baby came up to say hi. It was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had. It was just me and the manatees not another human in sight. The next morning I paddled out again and saw otters playing. I saw turtles, lizards, many beautiful birds, including green heron, great blue heron, and an owl. Coffee in the morning on the patio & a fire at night under the canopy of trees. Close to so much to do- springs, beach, nature parks, but by far the best was being able to paddle pretty much out the back door. I’m so glad I stayed here!!!

Dream cottage was just that! It’s a quiet spot in the perfect location! We saw dolphins, and manatees! Brian was super awesome, and right next door! The remodel of the place was adorable and it was very clean and comfortable. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

We arrived at Maria's place and it looked just like the photos, it was beautiful. If you are a nature lover then this is the place for you. My husband loves fishing and they have a boat dock and kayaks you can use. It was the perfect place for him to fish and relax on the water. The hot tub was a perfect way to end the day afte walking around sight seeing the gorgeous surroundings. Maria gave us alot of great advice as to where to go eat and also the best places for my husband to go fishing.

This place was so beautiful!!! I can’t wait to revisit.. we woke up to dolphins in the water!!

Second time staying here and we will be back again! Best place we have stayed!

Everything was great. Very peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Be prepared to have little to no reception when in the area. The wifi in the house worked fine, though.

It was a beautiful place to stay. Perfect place to disconnect your self from everything. We love our stay!!! The cabin was just perfect for the 3 of us. Love the River and the screened porch.

This place provided us with exactly what we were looking for. it was very quiet and secluded and felt like home. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed and we're very responsive and communicative before and throughout our stay. we absolutely loved this little getaway and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a little peace and quiet away from the rest of the world!

Cute little place. Mattress was very firm. I would buy a cheap air matress next time only because I like a soft Mattress. Didn't stay at the house much. But if i had more time would have loved to take out the kayaks and explore the streams around the cabin.

We had a great time at this location. It was in a lovely wooded neighborhood that was safe and had access to the Rainbow River. We used a lot of the toys provided by the host including the golf cart and the boat trailer to get the kayaks to the river. The house had just what we needed for sleeping comfortably and relaxing at the end of the day. We didn’t get a chance to use the kitchen or fire pit but it was very kind to provide wood for the fire pit! The kitchen had a nice stove as well! The host was also very very attentive and responsive to questions. They made sure we checked in even though we arrived much later than expected. I would wholeheartedly recommend this location to anyone wanting to spend time on the river. The private community access was a huge bonus and benefit!

We absolutely loved our stay and our dogs had so much fun! The amenities were endless and a lot of thought was put into making sure the guest was comfortable. We especially loved feeding the birds and squirrels, hanging out on the porch, paddling on the lake, sitting and watching the view. The stay is close to silver springs and juniper springs which we both really enjoyed. We definitely hope to back! Thank you for a great stay :)

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at the log cabin. It was everything we hoped for -- cozy, well-appointed, quiet. Our favorite activity was spending mornings reading, paddling, swimming and fishing on the lake. We didn't need to use the A/C at all since the weather was mild and many of the windows had screens.

Very nice and peaceful place.. Will definitely be back again.Awesome view!!! Cozy and clean.
