About this house rental

Come relax in Florida's Nature Coast in this eclectic, spacious riverside home. Take in the breathtaking view while lounging in the sunroom, hammock, or upstairs deck. Explore the wild beauty of the Withlacoochee River downstream from the Rainbow River and launch one of our kayaks or the canoe right from the backyard.
The space
After a great day on the river making memories gather around the fireplace and enjoy one of the many games or puzzles or have a foosball match. Cast a line and catch a large mouth bass, catfish, gar, or brim right off our peninsula with fishing poles provided. Challenge your friends and family to a game of bocce ball or corn hole. Cook a delicious home cooked meal in the well equipped kitchen or grill out on the high tech Cuisineart gas/pellet grill. Soak in the relaxing hot tub or roast marshmallows around the firepit. Pop a bowl of popcorn and enjoy your favorite movies or shows off Hulu Plus, ESPN, Disney and Netflix on the huge projector screen.

Additional rules
KEEP OUR RIVERS CLEAN!
There are steep fines if you enter Rainbow River with anything disposable, including wrappers! Please use the Tupperware and reusable water bottles and bags provided.
Do not leave trash, cigarette butts or have balloons outside.
WE ARE ON WELL and SEPTIC
The water is safe and delicious from the faucet. We just had a brand new Hydrogen Clean Water system installed. The faucet water is delicious, so fill up reusable water bottles and hit the river!

DO NOT flush anything down the toilets except toilet paper!

DO NOT SWIM OR FLOAT in the Withlacoochee River! BEWARE OF ALLIGATORS! You can kayak 25 minutes to Chaplin A Dinkins Park where Rainbow River meets Withlacoochee and you can swim there and of course the head spring!

Launch the Kayaks at the end of my peninsula, wipe down and place back on kayak racks when finished.

The Guest Shed is the portion to the back and the key is hanging on the hook by the front door. There are bags of pellets for the grill and an extra propane tank. You may use all items in the Guest Shed but please return items to their designated area, check off the check list hanging and report any broken, empty or missing items so I can replace them for the next guests.
Please respect our property and DO NOT take cover off or tamper with my pontoon boat. Also, DO NOT tamper with locked closets. And please DO NOT risk injury or property damage by climbing stairs onto the Florida room roof! I plan on having a contractor build an observation and sunbathing deck with railings in the future, and hope you will return to enjoy it!

TRASH DAY is very early morning FRIDAYS.
Citrus County unfortunately does not pick up recycling. But there is a recycling center 8 1/2 miles north on U.S. 41

One thing I have to say about this house is that you’ll never get bored. Whether you’re inside or outside. The house was loaded with games, bikes, kayaks, tubes, and even kitchen utensils for any kind of cooking and baking. We fell in love with the backyard. You sit in the hot tub and you feel like you’re one with nature. You have the squirrels by the river putting on a show every day, fighting over seeds and nuts haha.

Thank you Megan. We had a lot of fun. Enjoyed the house, with all its comfort. Loved the location out in the woods yet near everything. We didn’t have time to enjoy everything that was available. We spent the evenings in the jacuzzi which was perfect for us. Everything was super organized and well thought when it came to supplies and games.

The house was lovely and the location was perfect. Lots of wildlife on a private river yet close enough to kayak to Crystal River and restaurants. Then add relaxing in the hottub and viewing the stars around the firepit-the perfect vacation!

House was everything as described. Megan was great to work with and very accommodating. We kayak everyday, so we did not get to enjoy the house as we would have liked. I highly recommend staying here. We plan on staying there next year when we return.
