Vacation rentals with a kayak in Levy County

Great place to stay. We had lots of fun using the kayaks and paddle boards. The view of the river is awesome and relaxing while watching all the people tubing, kayaking, and boating up and down. The fire pit was great to make a fire at night. The kitchen had everything we needed and the entire home was very clean. The loft area stayed a little warm so my kids did not want to sleep up there. We had clean music playing on the dock, which people on the river seemed to enjoy too, but the neighbor gave us a dirty look and gesture - no issues otherwise. Overall a great place to spend a few days.

We had an excellent stay at Andres' place. The house was wonderful – plenty spacious for two families and our kids (11 year olds) who loved playing in the pool and playing all the games the house had to offer: ping ping, corn hole, chess, etc. Having access to the kayaks to explore Rainbow River (which was a short drive away)was awesome. We would love to come back.

Perfect stay! Steve and Tess were wonderful!!! They took me out on a boat for a river tour!! (it doesn't get better than that). The neighborhood was exceptionally peaceful and scenic. I had great morning walks with the dog. It was easy to meet the neighbors, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. It was just an unbelievably relaxing and perfect stay that ended far too soon! I plan to be back for sure!!

The house was great and spacious. Perfect for our Rainbow Springs getaway. The only thing that was a bit deceiving was the fact that the river access was a 15-20 minute walk from the house itself. The pictures made it look like the river access was in the backyard, which is what I was expecting. Other than that it was a perfect location to visit Rainbow Springs State Park. And then the next day, we drove about an hour to Silver Springs State Park, which was absolutely beautiful and worth the drive. FYI - Rainbow Springs you can swim, but Silver Spring you can't. The house was very clean and peaceful. A great place to book if you want to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city!

This AirBNB was a bit far from town but it was quiet and peaceful. I had a hard time getting in with the code provided and there was no internet or phone service so it took about 45 minutes to get an updated front door code that worked. When you enter the code you have to hit the lock button to unlock the door. This was a first for me and I wish that piece of info would have been in the check-in instructions. I'd recommend printing your check-in instructions before you arrive so you don't have the same issue I did. Once we got inside the interior was beautiful. The home was spacious and the amenities were more than I expected. The internet worked great and I was able to do some work on my laptop without any issues. The furniture and beds were top of the line. Seriously one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. The view was amazing!

Perfect weekend getaway to enjoy Florida’s nature. Super easy to use the kayaks and launch from the property. Area was very quiet and peaceful, and the home was full of charm.

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

The place was exactly what you want - clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful time and felt right at home. Julia was great with communication. The location is great for many outdoor activities and the home has outdoor equipment available to borrow. There's also a couple old school arcade style video games that where fun to play. We had a great dinner right down the road at Swampy's which was right on the water with outdoor seating. We'd highly recommend this place for your stay in the area.

Cheryl was very nice, responsive, and her thorough instructions were very helpful. Most important to me, the house was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utencils, and the bedding was very nice. We all had a lovely time fishing on the dock, kayking, and boating down the river. We explored Homosassa Springs, Rainbow Springs and several other Florida attractions. The whole family had a lot of fun!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was perfect for our weekend stay to visit Rainbow River. Located in a great place close to river access.

This was a wonderful experience. Everything was just like the description. I loved the privacy, fenced back yard and private dock to enjoy the sunsets and have our morning coffee!

We had a great stay. The Tree House was clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. The house is on a peaceful dead end street overlooking the gulf and Seahorse Key. The restaurants and shops are within walking or bicycle riding distance. We used the kayak to paddle around some mangroves. This was probably one of the most relaxing, restful vacations we have had in a long time. One evening there was a threat of bad weather and Cassandra notified us as to where the emergency power source and lighting was located. Thank goodness the storm blew over without incident but we appreciated the heads up. Even though the town has not completely recovered from hurricane Helene, there were enough restaurants and shops open to keep us busy, allow us to explore the island, enjoy the water, and relax at the house. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacay. Well, maybe a little less wind. It was brutal a couple days but it didn’t stop us.

Peaceful surroundings along with a unique home experience. We really enjoyed being greeted by “opossum” the barn cat. Lots of wildlife to enjoy from the porch. Just far enough out of town to be away from it all yet not too far to easily get dinner or see the UF campus.
