Family-friendly holiday rentals in Rainbow River

very nice and clean definitely would recommend to anyone looking for really great Airbnb

It was our first trip to Florida for a month. The place was everything it said and more. From the beautiful home, beautiful backyard with pool, hot tub and soaker tub I felt like I was at a spa. The backyard was so private. We had bikes to use and we did take advantage. We rode our bikes to the main square several times. Jennifer was very pleasant and friendly. She responded to my questions/ comments in a very efficient manner. I would recommend the place. Give a 5 star+++

Excellent house. I come to the area once a year to visit family, has been one of the better experiences. House well decorated and cozy. Made plenty use of the heated pool. Chris was ready to help out thru whole process. Would definitely book again.

Wonderful host and terrific property. It was exactly as described. We had a fabulous time and would definitely recommend staying here. Hope to return in the future!

The reservation, check-in and check-out process was simple. The staff was very friendly and made recommendations for shopping and restaurants. The amenities of the home were just as described in the listing and photos. The home was very clean and stocked with 'necessities', shampoo, soap, kitchen supplies, extra linens, etc. When the pool pump stopped working Thursday evening, Jessica arrived at the property within 10 minutes to make the repairs. Although we never received additional communication from Chris after check-in, we would definitely rent another unit from Chris.

Worked out so well for us as it’s very close and easy to get to the WEC

Stayed at this lakehouse many times over the past few years and it never disappoints. Great house, location, and host! Best place to make awesome memories and enjoy the lake!

We enjoyed staying with family to visit my brother who lives close by. The house was comfortable and was perfect for having a nice dinner, the kitchen was well equipped with all the essentials! We are sad we had to leave early to escape getting caught by the hurricane but we would definitely visit again! Hendrick is an attentive host and was amazing at answering any questions we had about our stay!

I believe this is our 7th year staying at the Coastal Cracker House. Great host and accommodations every year.

For nature lovers, ornithologist, fishermen…..this location is amazing. We kayaked and saw so many manatees in all the coves. The view is absolutely stunning! The downstairs smells very musty. This house is perfect for sleeping 3-4 guests. We really loved our stay!

My husband and I were in need of a quick getaway. We found Donna's place and knew this was exactly what we were looking for. It was in close proximity of Rainbow Springs (where we wanted to visit) and was pet friendly. The house was clean (all hardwood/tile flooring), spacious (open floor plan), nicely decorated, furniture in great condition & comfortable, fenced in yard for the pups, on the river, and had everything we needed! We enjoyed the quiet evenings out back on the deck & in the screened in porch and the pups loved exploring the yard. We cooked breakfast & lunch at the home and explored the town for dinner. We did not get to use the kayaks or bikes but loved that they were available. Donna answered all my questions and was very accommodating to my dates. I would definitely book this home again and recommend to others! Thank you!

This is our second time staying here and plan on always coming back! Thank you so much for letting us make unforgettable memories with our kids!

We loved the location and being on the horse farm! The apartment was clean, communication was great and if you’re going to a wedding at Andalusian Oaks, it’s very close by.

The location was beautiful, serene, and peaceful. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood directly on the Withlacoochie River. The outdoor space on the river is just as described and shown in the listing. It is private and there was hardly any river traffic. The deck is very large with ample seating for an outdoor meal or just to sit and watch the river or read in the outdoors. There were many mullet jumping in the river and I saw a couple alligators and a large manatee. There are many different birds outside too. It is a wonderful place if you're looking for some Florida nature in a peaceful setting. The access to kayaks and bikes was nice. The home is also very close to nature preserves, parks, and springs in the area.

Beyond satisfied with our stay. We booked this house as a group, 3 couples & kids. The house was very spacious and provided more than enough room for everyone. The host was extremely polite, resourceful, and very responsive to any questions or issues we may have had. The boat ramp & docks were perfect for each 3 24’ boats we had. The only suggestion I have is better parking for trucks/boat trailers. We all had a spot but it was a tight fit. Other than that, 0 complaints and would definitely stay here again!

Leslie was very responsive. The setting is private and the covered deck on rainy days wonderful to relax on. Leslie provided much appreciated extras like healthier cooking pans, sharp knives, a cutting board, and a medicine kit which are not usually provided in my years of experience. A word of caution apparently regarding airbnb policy. Check for potential price changes on your reservation Even IF you are subtracting something!!! Because I didn’t end up taking my dog with (deleting the pet fee), it changed my reservation and a $142.20 increase (county tax fee) was added! 😱

The home was perfect and so clean! The pool and the on site kayaks were all amazing. Joan was very kind and responded quickly with any questions we had. I highly recommend this home!

We booked the Flamingo House with Gale and Teri for our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. Quiet location within 3-5 mins of a dozen restaurants, activities, sights to see, and stores for essentials. They left a great list of reccomendations for the area and the house was super clean and beautiful. Plenty of space for a whole family and the screened in pool was the icing on the cake. We were able to go do things we wanted and then come back and relax in the sun by the pool and I dont think we ever even saw a neighbor all week. The wife and I have already decided if we can take another trip to Crystal River and surrounding area we will be returning to the Flamingo House!

Susan and Jerry were outstanding hosts, they were responsive, proactive and always available to us! The home was perfect for our family of 6, our kids loved thier place and already want to go back. The home was clean, clutter free and well kept. Everything in the home works and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Susan and Jerry left us all the passes and information needed to navigate The Villages. We are beyond Blessed to have them as hosts and enjoyed thier property during our stay. We will definitely be Air BnB'ing with them for future visits to The Villages.

Really excellent place this. Has everything you need and probably more. Good bikes, Golf Cart, extensively equipped kitchen. Also great value for money. Will definitely return but likely yo be booked up. You need to move fast

Had a great stay, very comfortable with super nice pool patio area! This is our second stay here and we will be back.

Another outstanding trip to rainbow river and the maple street house as we have started to call it. Third time staying there and we will be back!! The house and the host are great!!!

Roy left us a binder at the house with perfectly detailed instructions. The house was immaculate. We had no questions and everything was perfect. We can’t wait to go back.

Loved staying in this home with my family including 2 small children . Unfortunately the pool was too cold to enjoy but the patio/pool area is very clean and beautiful. The home is fully equipped with everything you may need and more ! A lot of towels , self-care items and more ! Spacious and clean ! Highly recommend 5/5 stars! Would definitely stay again when the weather is warmer to enjoy the pool with the kids !
