Great Stay by the River

Chaz's place is great. It was so clean and had everything we needed. The location is perfect. Just a very short distance to the river access. The community park was also very nice. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you so much!

Pro's and con's to staying here. We stayed 2 weeks. Pro's include a clean and comfortable home. Well stocked kitchen. The real bonus for us was the dark and quiet neighborhood after hours. The golf cart was nice for commuting to and from the Rio Vista riverside park but we mostly just used our bikes. The riverside park access was the saving grace for us. Without that piece of refreshing green space, there wasn't much else to enjoy for outdoor enthusiasts like ourselves. Con's: No bike trail access. We discovered a 2-track through the woods that eventually connected with the Dunnellon bike trail 2 miles away. This has no direct correlation to the rental but just a note worth considering. Inside had no bedside tables for small items like a clock, phone, water bottle etc. Mattress covers were plastic and impossibly hot to sleep on for us non-bed wetters. Internet was weak and progressively worsened by the weekend. Chaz responded to our informing him of that but we had already moved on to other forms of entertainment. The real turn off was this. About 3 days into our stay a friend from a nearby town came to visit for a couple of hours so we could plan an outing together. Within minutes of their arrival we were emailed that property management had noticed we had an unregistered guest on the property. No mention in booking that we needed to inform mgmt that we might have visiting guests. We felt like we were under constant surveillance our entire stay.

This is such a great property if you're a small family, or possibly three-four friends traveling. One bedroom has the private bath on one side of the home. The second bedroom has two beds on the other side of the house. The second bedroom has a gaming console in it and dresser drawers full of movies and games, which I can see coming in handy as we hit rainy season. River access is so fast and easy, especially with the use of Chaz's golf cart. You can load up the boat trailer with kayaks and SUPs, paddles, and life vests. A quick turn of the corner, and you're at the Rio Vista park, where you will find very friendly locals and other visitors. I have only gone kayaking with my husband, but felt comfortable enough here to try my own solo kayak. I used the smaller orange one, which felt very stable to me and tracked well when I stopped paddling. Easy to go upstream first and then let the river do the work to bring you back down. Love being able to see the otters up close. There's a sandhill crane pair that comes back to the little marshy area each evening at the Rio Vista park. If you are a photographer, you will love this. We would go out in the morning, come back, get a late lunch in the 3:00 hour, come back, and head back out in the 4:30 - 5:00 hour. Came back off river around 8 each night. Comfy beds to collapse into when we were done. Appreciate all the info Chaz provides his guests. It's evident he wants visitors to enjoy their time here.

We had a fantastic day at Chad‘s Diver’s Inn. The location couldn’t have been better - close to local parks and attractions, which made it easy to explore and enjoy everything. The area has to offer. We especially appreciated the generous extras like the kayaks and golf cart, which really elevated the experience and made getting around both fun and convenient. The home itself was spotless and clearly well cared for, which made settling in effortless. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made meals at home more comfortable. Chad was a true 5-star Superhost - friendly, responsive, and on top of every detail, including Park passes, and restaurant suggestions. Communication was smooth from start to finish, and we always felt well taken care of. Check in and check out was a breeze! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will absolutely be returning in the future. Highly recommend!

This was our first stay on Rainbow River. I'm not sure if it was all of the amenities or the host (Chaz) that was the highlight of the trip, but both were fantastic. We messaged him on the second day (in the morning) to ask some advice about how best to take advantage of uitlizing KP Hole with the equipment he has at the rental. He not only answered immediately, he provided us with information that helped us have an amazing day on the water and also saved us noticable money in the long run. This experience was memorable for us and our boys and we would certainly rent here again if we travel to the river in the future.

Diver's Inn was perfect for our purposes.

Neat and clean. Access to the river was close and the golf cart was a perfect way to get there fast. Electric went out around 5 pm on the 1st night til 1:30 due to a storm. Chaz was happy to make up for the inconvenience although it was no fault of his or the owner's. We really appreciated that and hope to be back again soon.

Altho the outside of this house is mediocre to say the best the inside is great. Clean. More than enough space . Attached bathrooms with 1 being a walk in shower which meant a lot to me since I had broken my ankle b4 going there. All amenities. Fans and good a/c. Great lanai but soft cushions fir iron chairs would have been nice. Association access to Rainbow River is huge plus and this house offers all the toys necessary to enjoy the water. I would recommend this place to everyone and don't be put off by the outside!

Great place!

This is a great place to stay, it is a short drive on the golf cart to the water. It has everything you need (kayaks, paddle boards and fishing poles). We took advantage of the local attractions (KP hole and the state park). You can also put the kayaks in at the boat ramp and went down river to Blue Run park, you will need someone to pick you up or purchase a shuttle service. If you are getting a rental car, get a pick up. The only thing that too my by surprise was the $25 extra person person/per night for more than 2 people. We had 4 people in our family so I paid an extra $200.
