House was very nice and the garage was well stocked with kayaks and paddle boards. We made great use of the fire pit and seating area as there was a nice cold front during our stay.
We plan to be back!Loved staying right on the river, took advantage of the paddle equipment provided every day! And the fire pit and grill!Comfortable beds, good AC, well stocked house. Recently remodeled so everything is clean and comfortable

My family of 4 had a great time at this property. The beds were super comfy, it was very clean, there were plenty of kayaks and water toys to play with, and communication with the host was quick and easy.
We enjoyed our stay at Flamingle, offers easy access to the river, kayaks and paddle boards available. Beds are comfortable and accomodations are perfect. Love the outside area and will definitely be back.
Had a wonderful stay here. House was immaculate. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of room to congregate and hang out. The rainbow river is BEAUTIFUL! Grocery stores are in close range. Thank you so much for a terrific weekend!

Beautiful home with great neighbor to the north on a canal that connects directly to the rainbow river. This home is everything that the pictures and description say it is, including updated interiors and plenty of watercraft to enjoy the river.
We loved the location and the tranquility of the river in the back yard! The home was perfectly clean, decorated beautifully and the beds were very comfortable! Easy check in and the host is available for any questions with a quick response time.
Really comfortable and exactly what we needed :) the beds are great, plenty of room, stocked with paddle craft.. thoughtful things like some waters in the fridge, lovely decor and lighting really added to our stay. Thank you!
Overall good place. Pictures claim on property there was a waterfall and there is not. House was well stocked. Beds very comfy. Not much organization in the garage and grounds outside could use some weeding. Neighbor mowed which helped. Kayak seats are in need of help and several chairs by fire pit were broken. But all in all it is a good place.

only had text contact with host who did not respond.The home was great inside and very well stocked. The exterior yard was very overgrown, the back patio was growing algae and was slippery. There was a ramp made of plywood laying on the ground to cross over to the boat dock that was scary and a set of nice chairs on the patio and one was missing support screws, so we set it aside. The BBQ was not working. This is a nice neighborhood with some nice homes and the neighbors were pleasant to us. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but were disappointed in the condition of the exterior and amenities.

There are definitely pros and cons to this property. We arrived at night to find the landscaping a bit neglected, which made for a less-than-ideal first impression. The check-in process, however, was very smooth and easy.Our first night wasn’t great — the beds squeaked quite a bit, and we found a few black beetles crawling in the master bed. I was honestly ready to leave the next morning… until we took the paddle boards out.Once we paddled down to the main river, everything changed. The Rainbow River is absolutely beautiful — crystal clear, full of fish and turtles, and surrounded by peaceful nature. We spent the whole day snorkeling and paddling, and it completely turned our stay around.
Very clean and completely updated. Comfortable furniture, lots of space, plenty of dish choices. The most paper products provided of any place we have stayed. We kayaked and paddle-boarded daily. Access to the river is very easy. Wildlife is abundant. Good food choices in town and close by (Don Pepe's and The Breakfast Station were our favorites). Swampy's is close enough to walk to. Close to lots of historic sites and walking/biking trails. So much to do that we would never run out of things. Most mornings spent sitting by the river. The only things I would suggest to future renters is to bring bug repellant and sunscreen for your outdoor adventures.
The pictures on site are exactly what it looks like inside and out. Very clean inside. The king beds are comfortable as well as the pull out couch bed. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils and cookware. The hostess was very easy to contact and had supplied all the necessities including bug fogger, citronella candles and bug spray for outdoor comfort. Rainbow river is easily assessable from the cove. The teens enjoyed learning to paddle board with the provided boards. The tandem kayaks were a little hard to maneuver but we enjoyed the convenience. We brought kayaks, too, and there was plenty of room in the garage to store them. The neighborhood was friendly and we felt like we were at home! We would recommend this property for those wanting to kayak the “ Blue Run” and who want to relax and enjoy the great outdoors.
This house made our Thanksgiving trip! It was clean and comfortable. The couch was a hit and the beds were super comfortable. The house is spacious and the backyard is perfect for hanging out and swimming or kayaking. Our family really enjoyed our stay. Kelley was also very easy to work with. We would definitely stay here again!
This beautiful house was very well appointed including all the best toys for a great Rainbow River experience.
The interior of very open a spacious. Each bedroom had a very comfortable king bed.
Not to mention everything was very nicely updated. The back dock area was also beautiful for hanging out and launching to the river.
The home was beyond our expectations and we enjoyed every minute on the back patio overlooking the river. It is well-appointed, incredibly comfortable, leaves plenty of room to spread out with a group, and ideally located— just a short drive to Rainbow River state park and Crystal river. Tons of water toys are available and we loved taking the SUPs and kayaks out to explore the surrounding waters
This was absolutely the perfect spot for a family. The house was clean, updated and no clutter which made it very easy to have a toddler here. The beds were absolutely amazing!! The outdoor space was beautiful with easy access to rainbow river, only about a five minute paddle. Plenty of floats, kayaks, paddle boards are all available as well as, some fishing rods. Kelly, the owner made our stay stress-free with having a fully equipped house!! We will definitely be staying here again.
