Amazing property and great access to the river. Plenty of room to keep our large party entertained and included. Recommend taking walk in morning or evenings to see all the nearby wildlife, amazing part of Florida and a great property to make lasting memories with family and friends.

Thanks Chris, you are right! While the Rainbow River Estate is full of fun, it is also a perfect place to relax and let life slow down. The deer, turkeys, gopher turtles, birds, otters, and other wildlife on and around the river are cool to just sit and watch for hours on end. We are so glad you and your family and friends got to experience a little bit of everything and we can't wait to have you back!
Our host was awesome. Natalie was very accommodating, very quick to respond to questions. The new dock was awesome for sitting and the room to play outdoor games was outstanding. I highly recommend this place for large parties.
My husband loved the Rainbow River- so I rented the river house for family and friends who were traveling here to celebrate his life and attend his memorial. We needed a large property with activities for all ages- we had ages 12 to 89 year olds and this house worked for all of us.
We are Florida natives who love to spend our weekends on the beautiful Rainbow River.
Why they chose this property
