The house was lovely, spacious, and very clean. Loved the back porch and the serenity of the trees, birds, and nature trail in the back. Host was very responsive and even gave us areas to check out while we were there. Great location for the Springs.

Thank you so much! I did some research and Rainbow Springs State Park is starting an online day-use reservation process to streamline capacity. The entrance fee is only $5 a vehicle AND you can launch your paddle boards from their landing - no charge. Also, you can pump up your boards at the landing. Great deal! Hope you visit again.

We stayed for a couple nights for a golf tournament. The house was very clean and so comfortable. I enjoyed morning coffee on the back porch while watching the many birds and squirrels in the back yard. We didn't cook while there, but the kitchen was very well equipped and would have been great for cooking a nice dinner. The neighborhood was beautiful and very quiet. Close to many restaurants and the golf course. A perfect place for our weekend away.

Beautiful house, strictly ran

Honest review-The house is beautiful and well maintained, equipped with all kitchen, bathroom, and bedding essentials you may need. It is cleaned spotlessly and there are some games and other activities inside to make for some fun family time. The neighborhood is gorgeous with a walking trail out the back yard. The hot tub outback is off limits. Main problem is with surveillance. They seem to watch you at all times. No where in the listing or posted in the house did we find that the garage was “not an amenity”. The house was even posted to come with 2 new bikes, however we took a bike out and received an immediate 15 charge for use of the bikes which wasn’t allowed according to the owner. You feel like you are being watched so if privacy is important, look elsewhere. The cameras in garage actually follow you. I booked this as last minute getaway for my family of 5 (me, husband, infant in one room, and two children to share another room). There were not many options left in the area so we chose this 3 bedroom house. Invited another family along as we would only be using two of the bedrooms. My mistake for not going back and checking that it was listed for 6 people, as most 3 bedroom rentals sleep more. There are doorbell cameras and security cameras along the entire perimeter and we were charged for the 3 extra guests per night. Understandable, as it’s house rule. we left the place very clean and were only there to sleep. Probably more suited for older couples.

Thank you for your kind words relating to our property. We have installed 2 cameras outside and 1 camera inside the garage, as this is our second home. We also have a typical doorbell camera and access key pad, which is essential for check-in. We also need to ensure that guests are respecting the house rules. If you ever decide to visit again, please disclose the number of guests sleeping over and we will be glad to accommodate you.

Everything was perfect. We have stayed in many VRBOs all over the country and this was by far the best stocked house. It made such a difference having the house so well stocked - especially the kitchen. The screened in porch is amazing - it's so nice sitting on it looking out at the trees. And Cynthia is super helpful and responsive - she gave us wonderful recommendations.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia I

Host profile image
My family has lived in the Tampa Bay area for many years. Growing up we loved our beaches but we also found time to frequent Florida springs; Rainbow Springs and River have always been my favorites. When my husband and I were looking for property, Dunnellon was the obvious choice. We plan to retire here one day, but in the meantime we will visit as often as we can and share this beautiful place with guests whom we hope will love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We loved this neighborhood from the moment we drove through. The properties offered more privacy than others and the abundance of trees, greenery, and flowers made it feel like a beautiful park!

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique because it is located on a cul-de-sac, there is a greenbelt that borders the back yard offering maximum privacy, a walking/bicycle path is at the edge of the yard, it is a split bedroom plan, the lanai is covered by a roof and is screened, and the atmosphere is comfortable.
