The Villa on Rainbow River with Dock

About this place

12 guests  ·  5 bedrooms  ·  2 bathrooms

The Villa is a recently renovated five-bedroom, two-bath Rainbow River vacation rental in Dunnellon for up to 12 guests. It offers direct river access, a private dock, an upstairs balcony, outdoor gathering and grilling space, and comfortable accommodations for families and groups.

The Space

Wake up on the Rainbow River and spend your days swimming, paddling, fishing, floating, or simply relaxing by the water.

With five bedrooms and two bathrooms, there’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out while still enjoying the comfortable, gathering-place feel of a river house. Four bedrooms feature queen beds, while the fifth bedroom has a bunk bed with a queen on the bottom and a twin on top. For additional sleeping space, there’s also a pull-out futon in the living room. The home has been thoughtfully renovated with an updated interior while keeping the laid-back charm that makes a Rainbow River vacation so special.

Step outside and the river becomes your backyard. Relax on the large upstairs balcony, head down to the private dock with seating, or grab your gear and get right on the water.

The kitchen is stocked with the essentials for preparing meals, including a convenient two-burner stovetop. For even more options, fire up the outdoor grill and enjoy cooking in the fresh air with the Rainbow River as your backdrop.

What You’ll Love

Step outside and enjoy direct access to the beautiful Rainbow River from your own private dock with seating. Spend your days swimming, floating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or simply relaxing by the water.

Back at the house, enjoy the upstairs balcony and peaceful riverfront setting, or head downstairs where outdoor seating near the grill creates a comfortable spot to gather, share a meal, and unwind after a day on the water. Settle in, spend time together, and enjoy the laid-back pace of river life.

This is the kind of place where mornings start by the water, wet towels end up over the railing, laughter carries across the river, and “one more swim” turns into the best part of the day.

Come for the Rainbow River. Stay for the memories you’ll make together. Explore things to do near Rainbow River while planning your stay.
