I booked this trip in January for a stay beginning 6/21. On 6/19 I was canceled and it was due to the A/C going out. I have lived in Florida my whole life and A/C businesses are everywhere. All units, all parts can be found and installed in a day. I was given alternate postings, but not a one was anywhere near water. Not comparable at all. Finding nothing last minute, I switched to AB&B and was instantly booked in another place which turned out to be better overall. Vrbo will not be used again in any of my future bookings. Vrbo offered nothing to compensate the inconvenience. very bad experience.
Fishing, relaxing, and watching nature unfold for the day, right where you stay. Crystal clear rivers and lush gardens nearby, along with miles of hiking and biking trails await all guests.
This house is beautiful and so accommodating! My husband was so happy to hang out on the dock and fish all day. We enjoyed the company of all the wildlife, including the resident gator. The layout of the house is built for entertaining guests with many amenities. The beds and pillows are extremely comfortable!! The home owners were very easy to reach through text, they are super sweet and great hosts. We will be back!
Excellent!! Would definitely go back!!
There are a few things that need attention on this property. First, the fishing there is OK, just too many weeds to work around, giving a small area to fish in. Then where the gators that would actually brock the small area you had to fish in. Second, both me and my wife fell when the outdoor chairs collapsed, sending us had to the floor. We both are elderly and the falls did hurt. This owner needs to make sure his beautiful outdoor chairs are safe to set in. We left 1 day early frustrated with gators and chairs.
Lots of different places to view the beautiful scenery! Very clean & comfortable accommodations! A good time was had by all!
Rod’s home had everything you can imagine inside and outside. Can’t say enough about how relaxing the home and the grounds were. It was perfect for us as we did day trips to Crystal River and Homosassa.
We enjoyed our stay, spent many hours fishing from the dock and watching the alligators watch us. House had everything you'd need and more. Very clean and quiet, with lovely decks to sit on to watch the wildlife. Highly recommend this property.
Great place to stay! The home had everything we needed. The kitchen and grilling area was great for meals. It was spacious for our family. The dock was a great space for fishing and enjoying a beautiful view. The owner greeted us and showed us around the home and property. It’s close to Rainbow River and Rainbow Springs State Park. I would love to stay here again!
Beautiful house at even more beautiful location. Right on the lake. Amazing bass fishing. If you have your fishing boat, the boat ramp is about 4.5 miles away, but once in the water we tied up at the dock at the house. It does get little challenging when waning to go to Gulf. Dock 15 miles away. Thank you for great time and I know we will be back.
The house was beautiful and very well appointed. Rod the owner was a fantastic host. The lake was peaceful and we fishing everyday. We would definitely recommend this house to others.
This was one of the best vacations ever! Not being the fisherman framily - we learned quickly how theraputic it is just just relax and fish while enjoying the beautiful enveance of tropical birds, fish of all sorts, alligators, otters, you name it - all of Floridas finest are here!! Rainbow spings and Crystal River are just minutes away as well - so tubung and swimming with manatees are also a favorite for us too!!! We will be back here for sure - life long memories made!! Thanks to the wonderful homeowners for opening this paradise up to others to expierence!!
Great location, house, amenities, and owner was very very helpful in so many ways. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great relaxing vacation spot. We will be back for sure.
The house was every bit as nice as the pictures show.
