Professor Rousseau's Mermaid Lagoon
Quite and peaceful locale close to many natural and outdoor attractions. Perfect price for the area with plenty of amenities included. Host was great and very communicative. Bonus points for allowing my dog to join us on our trip

Professor Rousseau's Sea Turtle Sanctuary
Absolutely LOVED this place !! No complaints what so ever ! I highly recommend !!

Riverfront Apt w/ Kayak Launch in Dunnellon
The accommodations were really great for my holiday weekend stay! We used the lovely firepit -swing area every day. Bobby was responsive and helpful. The kitchen had everything I needed. Coffee overlooking the mist rising off the water in the morning was just so beautiful. The river is amazing… the hawks, ibis, anhinga, herons, and so many other birds were so cool to hear, and watch!

Docks + Balcony: Peaceful River Abode in Dunnellon
What a wonderful place! We rented this as a quick weekend getaway and quickly fell in love with the house & view. The unit is comfortable and close to everything. We would definitely come back for a longer stay in the future.

Withlacoochee Rainbow Townhome!
Terrific spot right on the river, around the corner from the kayak shop so you can paddle over and catch a shuttle up to the KP hole, paddle back down and end at the dock right by your unit. Fantastic time, the place was clean comfortable and well kept. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a riverfront view and easy paddling access, very nice spot. A little tip turn the air down a few hours before you go to sleep the top floor takes a little bit to cool down. Thanks Matt for our stay in your beautiful spot.

Professor Rousseau's Pirates Lair
This place is truly a hidden gem. I will be staying here anytime I am in the area! Colin was excellent to work with, quick to respond and made the entire process effortless. Colin and his staff were extremely accommodating and no further than a call or message away the entire time. My weekend getaway was everything I hoped for and more thanks to Colin, the facility and the property. The home was cozy, well decorated, surprisingly even better than the pictures and fully stocked with anything we needed from toilet paper and trash bags to extra blankets and towels. The property was beautiful and very clean. The trees with Spanish moss set such a peaceful tone along with the fishing area at the water front that was just outside of our back door. The wildlife was fun to watch, various birds, squirrels and some pretty big bass. The place was so perfect we found no need to go out to eat and just cooked there. It felt like a private island full of character and natures beauty. 10 out of 10!

🏝Waterfront Pool & Dock, Close to Springs & Gulf🎣🌞
Easy access to the River. Boat dock had plenty of room for my 26ft boat. Enjoyed having the pool and loved the layout of the house. This is a good home for a family or even if you have a few more guest with the split floor plan. The kitchen has plenty of counter space for everything,Enjoyed the stay. Thanks!

Waterfront home, boat dock, ice machine, & kayaks
Perfect spot for a relaxing time! Went to springs during day by boat, came home in evenings and relaxed. Very spacious and comfortable for my family. Host was very responsive and made everything easy! We will be returning again.

Inquire for Comp Nights w/ Rental < May 1, 2025
We had a great stay at Chimera. We brought our own tubes and floated from their other property upriver and back to this property saving us $120. The float took about an hour and a half. Parking at their other location was well marked. The walk from this rental back to the other location to pick up our vehicle took about 40 minutes. The walk was through a neighborhood slightly uphill without side walks. It’s not a bad walk for adults or teenagers. Using the kayaks was great.The river water by the private dock directly on the river at Chimera has two sandy river bottom patches we stood in and swam around. The current river depth was about five feet by the dock. We saw Fred the bird, fish, small turtles, a young bobcat, and four otters swimming/feeding by the dock almost every day. We did not see any alligators during this stay but have along the river during previous trips which have avoided humans. Chimera is in a great river location. Hal and Sandy are friendly and take ownership pride

Serenity Cove - Waterfront
We loved our stay at George’s with our toddler and dog. The house was very clean and the backyard was spacious. Very well equipped home with conveniences not included at all air bnbs, which we really appreciated. We had so much fun taking a few of the kayaks out on the river and also rented a boat, which we docked at the house. Our dog loved all the room he had to run and we enjoyed breezy afternoons and gorgeous sunsets sitting out by the river. Cranes, a turtle and an alligator were all seen from the backyard. We felt immersed in nature while still being a quick drive away from grocery, restaurants and both Rainbow River and Hunter Springs (15 min). My husband appreciated the grill and espresso machine. The only downside is the master shower, which js a bit cramped for a 6’2 guy and near impossible for me to shower without getting my hair wet, so I used the bath/shower in the other bathroom instead! We would stay here again!

Blue Cove Canal Pool Home on Rainbow Spring River!
10 out of 10 would recommend! I have traveled all over the US and often utilize Airbnb and this is going down in the books as one of my favorite homes! The house itself is like a time capsule. Lots of antique furniture and nostalgic pieces of the past. But also super clean, comfortable and up-to-date. The amenities are also amazing! Everything was clean, well organized, and ready to use. The main river is about a 15 minute paddle, but it’s gorgeous. My kids said this might be one of their favorite vacations we’ve ever taken! The Neighbor kids even came over and joined us for a game of basketball. All of the neighbors seemed super friendly. The house is also well stocked with things like pans, dishes, silverware, extra blankets, pillows, etc. And sitting on the deck for morning, coffee and to relax in the evening is amazing. Communication with the host was easy and painless. We will most definitely be staying again!

Perfect River Retreat
Loved our stay. Erin Ashley was super helpful, communicative and kind. The house was just what I needed, peaceful on the canal just off the main river. I enjoyed taking out one of the kayaks and exploring the river. Even made a long trip upstream to a nearby spring thanks to Erin Ashley’s recommendation. And the porch overlooking the water was a great spot to unwind. I’ll definitely keep this one on the list next time I visit!

Pet-Friendly Homosassa Condo: Walk to River!
We had an incredible stay during scallop season. The location was perfect. Just a short ride to the gulf. The house was clean spacious and had all the amenities we needed for comfortable stay. Can’t wait to come back next scallops season! We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable getaway.

Crystal River Bungalow with boat slip
Natalie’s place was a great find! We loved the pool and it was very peaceful. The condo was beautiful, however it was a little hard to find the right one since we got there when it was dark.

Gray Heron Victorian Townhouse
Geri’s place was clean and cozy. We were visiting family in town and felt Geri’s place gave us a separate space to unwind. We especially loved the upstairs balcony overlooking the canal. It was a great place to chit chat and enjoy the surroundings. There were plenty of towels, a very comfy couch and a clean refrigerator that we stocked during our stay. We would love it if Geri would have us back in the future. Geri was very responsive at all times. Great host with a great place.

Riverside Retreat
Had a great time at the condo. We felt right at home and enjoyed meeting new friends during the unofficial "happy hour". There is no shortage of things to do in the area and this was a great place to stay while visiting our daughter. We will stay here again. The only disappointing thing was that the pool temperature was very cold, but this was not any fault of the hosts themselves, the weather was unusually cold for FL during our stay. We still were able to use the pool during our stay.

Crystal River Condo on the gulf! 2 Bed/2 Bath
We stayed 3 months at Chet and Lizys place and everything was perfect and as expected. The area was peaceful and quiet and with all kinds of nature, our morning walks were always a new adventure whether it was local or one of the many trails nearby. Lots of great restaurants in the area and beautiful scenery at most. Chet and Liz were wonderful hosts and always available for any questions.

Waterfront Condo in Sawgrass Landing
Excellent!! Very clean, cute place. Natalie was helpful, responsive and extremely friendly. Absolutely plan to stay again!!

Cypress Cove Waterfront Townhome
Very clean place. easy to find. The host was super easy to work with and communicate with. We will def be back

The Boho in Crystal River with boat slip/pool
Amazing stay! Condo was gorgeous and the area was so peaceful. The house was fully equipped with everything you'd need for a coastal vacation. Bed was super comfy! Neighbors were all friendly and helpful when it came to boating/fishing.
