If you're looking to get away without breaking the bank in Florida, you have plenty of options. From beachy cottages to hidden cabins, there's something here for everyone. However, there's one place with rentals that might top them all, Rainbow River.
Many are familiar with this blue water gem, but others might not know of the hidden beauty situated in Dunnellon, not far from Ocala in North Central Florida.
The Rainbow River is short in length but powerful and stunning in its draw. At the head of this unique river sits Rainbow Springs, one of the best swimming & kayaking spots in the state.
Most who drive here to visit the springs make a weekend out of this cool getaway, and while some like to camp, others may prefer the luxurious vacation rentals that dot the river.
If you're one of those looking for all the amenities plus water views, these rentals located right by the spring offer a good selection of both.
So grab the crew, and create a memorable weekend at the Rainbow River.
