Amazing property in a beautiful setting! Highly recommend!

We spent two weeks at this delightful property and enjoyed every minute of it. The scenery is incredible--we sat outside on the deck or porch every day and watched the river flow by. Just beautiful! The house is charming and had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and helpful. The area is quiet and peaceful, a great place to relax and unwind. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are planning to return next year to this wonderful property!

Great stay at Floats My Boat

My wife's parents live close by in McAlpin and we need a place for ourselves and our 2 grown girls and one boy-friend. We really loved the place. It was very nice and clean. We didn't get to use the canoe or the paddle boat, but we did make a fire two of the nights in the fire pit and had smores! The place is very peaceful and quiet. We did take my in-laws over to the place and they loved it as well. The host was awesome and we had no problems communicating with her. We would definitely stay there again.

Just a Great Stay Peaceful and Quite

We had the most relaxing time at Floats My Boat on the Suwannee River! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the peaceful setting and stunning natural surroundings. The house itself is well kept, and very clean, and nicely equippedThe highlight of our stay was definitely the river. We spent a few hours kayaking and the views from the porch were calming. It is relaxing to sit by the water, listen to the sounds of nature, and watch the river flow by. The area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and those looking to unwind in a serene environment.Not only was the house and grounds in very good shape considering the hurricane damage last fall to the area, the location is also perfect. It’s just far enough away to feel secluded and private, yet close enough to local attractions and shops if you need anything. The communication with the host Teresa was fantastic too—she was very welcoming and quick to respond to any questions we had.Looking forward to returning in the fall!

Love the old Florida vibes

Love the location! Amazing house to hangout at the river….next time we would probably stay during the winter to utilize the fire pit. The only negative thing for us were the huge ants in the house. There were big dead ants in random places and also alive, some crawling on the toilet. Other than that we loved it!

Family Mini Vacay

We enjoyed Floats My Boat River Home! This vacay home is very cozy and extra clean. Very nicely decorated.Everything we needed was available and handy. There was a little Smores Box with all ingredients you need for smores sitting in counter although we had all ingredients needed. Nice firepit with comfortable chairs, firewood stacked near by. This home is very welcoming ! Beautiful scenery of the Swannee River with great boat dock! I definitely recommend Floats My Boat Vacation Rental!! Our family enjoyed it very much!

We had such a wonderful time at Float My Boat. The pictures don't do it justice. Such a beautiful spot. We traveled with our boat and docked at the private dock for the long weekend. Enjoyed exploring the Suwannee and Santa Fe. Had a blast hanging out on the many porches/hangout areas. House has everything you could need and more. Very peaceful, comfortable and quiet. Highly recommending this one.

Piece of HEAVEN on Suwannee River

This place exceeded our expectations! Everything from top to bottom, front to back , was clean , well equipped , efficient and just down right cozy and adorable. I was so mad I had leave and go home ! The floating dock for our boat and fishing was everything we needed ! It’s set in a perfect location just around the corner from the public boat ramp. The outside screened in porch with bathroom was so perfect for our low country boil and all the nights we grilled. The fire pit was perfect for roasting marshmallows , the upper deck was my piece of heaven while sipping my coffee in the mornings. Beds were super comfortable and the air mattresses that the home is equipped with were nice as well! There was plenty of yard for my daughter and her friend to throw the softball around and play! I can’t wait to come back, hopefully every year ! It was a wonderful experience that my whole family loved! Thank you so much!

Just perfect!

This home was perfect for our family of 6 to attend a family reunion in the area. It was very convenient to Branford. Host left us a list of restaurants in the area which we really appreciated. Downstairs screened in area allowed for us to host other members of the family for dinner. Can’t say enough about how nice and clean and perfect this house is. Teresa and Tammy quickly responded to any questions we had. We would rent again.

Great getaway close to many springs.

Property was clean and had family plenty of room for us to hang out upstairs and downstairs screened in room. Comes well equipped with anything you may need as described. Great secluded location easy to get to. Within 15 to 30 minutes of many local springs (just a little research beforehand and you'll find them). Tip: Go early in the am to avoid crowds. Overall, if you like to relax in a secluded area with river access this is the place. Hopefully we will be coming again next summer!
