Beautiful accommodation. Great location in the community with access to Rio Vista.. perfect for a weekend scuba certification. We mostly enjoyed sitting on the back porch at sunrise and sunset watching the deer.

What a great find. This home is very well kept, clean and tidy. It looks exactly like the pictures. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. The backyard is a gorgeous all wooded area. There is a fire pit, which we didn't use because it's summertime, but still, a nice touch. It's in a nice little neighborhood with friendly neighbors. The neighborhood has a private riverfront park/access which we used to get on the Rainbow River. Which was SO much nicer than battling the crowds to get in at KP hole. In addition, we could put our own floats in at this location. It took us about an hour and a half to 2 hours to get to the float take out point, which was the perfect amount of time. Not to mention being south of KP hoke kept us ahead of the crowds of other tubers. This neighborhood is close to everything but off the beaten path. We saw deer, wild turkey, and fox on the drive-in. This area is truly natural Florida at its best. Our host, Brianna, was extremely helpful and easy to get in touch with. We will definitely look to rent again when we're back to this area.
