Chaz's place is great. It was so clean and had everything we needed. The location is perfect. Just a very short distance to the river access. The community park was also very nice. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you so much!
Average place to stay. Kayaks and golf cart for transporting boats to river a short ways away.

Was not what I expected. I thought hot tub was on property. Thought it was on the river. Poured 1st day, sunny and cold 2nd day. Couldn't have a fire in the back yard. Very clean however, stocked well.
This is a great location just off the river. Chaz made it easy to enjoy the private park for this neighborhood. It's a bit rustic but full of whimsy and a great way to really enjoy Real Florida
Very comfortable beds, and house. Super clean. Quiet area. Host has all the water crafts you need included in your stay. Definitely will stay here again.
Chaz is a great host and the property is as perfect as VRBO gets. The kayaks, river access, the helpful hints about the area. Everything about this place makes our stay special. We just spent our honeymoon here and are bound to come back. Book with this guy!!
Such a fun place to visit and great times on the Rainbow River. Golf cart and trailer is available for use to load kayaks or boards to KP hole or the Vista Private Park Down the road on the right. Such a great perk making it easily a place I would love to book again. Back yard fenced in with a fire pit and bbq grills. The locals are super friendly and helpful. Such a great time, thanks Chaz!
This place is definitely worth checking out! Cleanest place we’ve stayed at! The price is awesome! Chaz was so easy to get a hold of! So close to the water. All the amenities you could need or want! Will definitely be going back!
Clean, Comfortable, Everything you need for a fabulous Rainbow River Experience!!
Chaz is an awesome host. We rented both of his properties near the Rainbow River. He had golf carts, bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, and everything you need to have a memorable Rainbow River Experience.
Great job Chaz on communication and putting in all the right toys at the property. Thanks for the games on the porch, access to TV, great kayaks and paddleboards. Nice touch with the map drawn on the golf cart as you drive around the neighborhood! The six acre, gated park on the river was excellent!
This property has everything you could possibly need and want! Boat rental, golf cart, kayak, SUP, rafts, tons of games and movies! Private river access that is beautiful and well kept to enjoy swimming. We will be back!!! This is a perfect rental for family and friends!!! Communication was great with owner!!!! We loved every minute!!!!!!
Neat and clean. Access to the river was close and the golf cart was a perfect way to get there fast. Electric went out around 5 pm on the 1st night til 1:30 due to a storm. Chaz was happy to make up for the inconvenience although it was no fault of his or the owner's. We really appreciated that and hope to be back again soon.
This was our first stay on Rainbow River. I'm not sure if it was all of the amenities or the host (Chaz) that was the highlight of the trip, but both were fantastic. We messaged him on the second day (in the morning) to ask some advice about how best to take advantage of uitlizing KP Hole with the equipment he has at the rental. He not only answered immediately, he provided us with information that helped us have an amazing day on the water and also saved us noticable money in the long run. This experience was memorable for us and our boys and we would certainly rent here again if we travel to the river in the future.
Altho the outside of this house is mediocre to say the best the inside is great. Clean. More than enough space . Attached bathrooms with 1 being a walk in shower which meant a lot to me since I had broken my ankle b4 going there. All amenities. Fans and good a/c. Great lanai but soft cushions fir iron chairs would have been nice. Association access to Rainbow River is huge plus and this house offers all the toys necessary to enjoy the water. I would recommend this place to everyone and don't be put off by the outside!
This is a great place to stay, it is a short drive on the golf cart to the water. It has everything you need (kayaks, paddle boards and fishing poles). We took advantage of the local attractions (KP hole and the state park). You can also put the kayaks in at the boat ramp and went down river to Blue Run park, you will need someone to pick you up or purchase a shuttle service. If you are getting a rental car, get a pick up. The only thing that too my by surprise was the $25 extra person person/per night for more than 2 people. We had 4 people in our family so I paid an extra $200.
This place is perfect for a short stay to enjoy the river. The property has everything you need for a great river vacation and the private boat ramp is a huge plus.
