About this property

Private pool w/ tropical Oasis setting and minutes to Rainbow River access

Are you looking for a relaxing atmosphere for that weekend getaway or monthly winter vacation? Want to enjoy the Florida outdoors in your own private tropical oasis? this comfortable home is a great place to do just that. It's a great place to relax, unwind, and getaway from" life in the fast lane". Outdoor activities are the focus of the area. Hiking, biking, walking, kayaking, tubing, boating, fishing, swimming, its all here. Begin your day sitting on the deck or beside the pool enjoying your morning coffee.
The Pool can be heated for $15 a night, $75 for the week and $125 for the month. The temperature is set at 83 degrees. It could go higher with lots of sun and use of the solar blanket. January we have some pretty cold days so I cannot heat unless a 2 week notice is given to guarantee heat to 83 degrees when you arrive. If the temperature stays below freezing for an extended time the pool cannot be heated. It is an electric heater. The pool cover will need to be rolled out at night and rolled up if swimming during the day.
We are located within the Rio Vista Community of Dunnellon. KP Hole and Rainbow River State Pare are close by. We are located within minutes of restaurants and shopping.
After a day of outside activities come sit poolside with your own outside bar area (BYOB), beverage cooler, TV, deck with a gas grill, and table for 6 for outside dining. Take a night swim in the pool using the beach entry.
There is a community park just a few minutes walk or rent the golf cart and drive it down with our kayaks or canoe to the boat ramp on the Rainbow River.
The house is decorated with a coastal cottage feel from the coffee bar to the picket fence headboard in the master bedroom. The living room furniture is very comfortable with and oversized recliner and U-shaped sectional. The front of the house has a glassed sunroom for added seating for your relaxation.
Both bedrooms have queen size beds and the sun room has a queen futon with its own air conditioner and heater. Master bathrooms has a tub/shower combo and guest bath has walk in shower.
We have xfinity Wi-Fi and smart TV. Netflix and fubo tv provided. We also have games, movies, and books for your entertainment.
Ocala and Crystal River are only 30 minutes away.
Come enjoy all Dunnellon and the area has to offer.

Entry to the house kind of surprised us..guess we expected it to be a bit more welcoming (wood fencing to the front door falling on the side & needs to be properly installed) but it's a beach/river house! The inside was quite comfortable and the decks and pool were remarkable...besides spending time on the Rainbow River and at the Park, we spent a good part of our time on the decks and pool which is completely fenced in & great if you have dogs like we did...the golf cart was a must to get the kayaks & canoe to the river...GREAT LOCATION WITH PRIVATE ACCESS TO THE RIVER A BIG PLUS! MY FAMILY TOTALLY ENJOYED OUR STAY!!! HOPING TO BE BACK!!!

This is the third time we’ve stayed at this property and plan to stay there again next year. It’s a lovely spot with a very romantic pool and patio area. If you are into kayaking, the community launcharea is very handy and easy to get in and out. Convenient to shopping and restaurants.

Cute River House

Perfect house for a weekend (or longer) getaway. House was very clean and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. The extra amenities including the pool, kayaks, and golf cart are a great touch. Only issue was we didn’t get to stay longer to truly enjoy the house and the area. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Guy

Host profile image
I am a retired school teacher of 35 years. I taught most of those years in Marianna, Florida at Riverside Elementary. I now have 2 grandchildren that live in Ocala, Florida. I live in Dunnellon and have 5 rentals. I enjoy hosting and keeping up the rentals to make sure guests have a great experience while vacationing here in Dunnellon.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property because of the backyard setting. Just love the pool and landscape. So relaxing to sit around and enjoy nature.

What makes this property unique

This house is unique because of the pool area. You don't find a resort type of pool at just any home. The beach entry is wonderful.
