Boathouse & Dock: Riverfront Dunnellon Getaway!

Reviews

• Kayaking trip with friends

  5/5

  We had nine adults staying for a week of kayaking at the nearby springs. Plenty of space for meals and game time at night. Living areas very adequate for this size group and home well equipped and very clean. Location very convenient to everything we needed and in walking distance to art gallery, garden and antique shops and restaurants. Great home!

  The location of the house was great and we were looking forward to a nice, quiet weekend to recoup from a lot of traveling we've been doing for work and the holiday's. Our first day started off with no issues but by Friday that changed. Half the house had no heat. We contacted the person who was our contact for any issues that arise. He immediately got ahold of an a/c-heat repair man to come to the house that day. Which was awesome. However, we just got back from kayaking and was ready to relax when our contact person stated their was no reason for him to hang around while the repair man went inside and outside the house...for hours! My husband and I sat their with this repair man when all we wanted to do was relax and go to dinner. About 4 hours later we are still sitting there. We call our contact person who stated that we can just leave this random person in the house with all of our belongings laying about. I wasn't happy, but was starving and ready for dinner. So we left since it wasn't our responsibility to sit at the house we rented. About an hour into dinner I received the text that the repair guy wasn't able to fix the heat unit and wasn't able to come back until Monday. Mind you this was Friday evening and it was a cold weekend in Florida and most of the house was freezing except the dining room, kitchen and 1 bedroom upstairs which is where we ended up sleeping just so we didn't freeze to death. No one offered to get us space heaters or make other accommodations to make sure we were comfortably. We had to make a trip to the local Walmart and buy a heated blanket and space heater. The bathrooms were freezing. I feel like this situation could have been handled better by the contact person whom seemed to not care one way or another. Other than that issue the house was clean and very roomy. It would have been nice to enjoy the whole house and not just a room.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Michelle, thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you found the home clean and spacious! We know heating issues can be frustrating, and after checking with the homeowner, they shared the following:
  - One of the heating units failed during your stay, though it was working beforehand. A technician responded right away, but full repairs weren’t possible until after checkout. The system is now fully fixed.
  - Additionally, the home has two heating units, and while one remained functional, we understand this affected your comfort. There’s also an electric fireplace that heats up to 1,000 square feet, which we hope helped.
  We appreciate your input and are always looking for ways to improve the guest experience!

• Would return in a heartbeat!

  Older home on beautiful lot, lots of charm and space. Great kitchen to cook in. Two bedrooms were small but workable with plenty of space nearby if needed. The half bath has a low ceiling. Wonderful screened porch and views. Totally enjoyed our stay.

  We were so impressed. The house was either newly renovated or kept in immaculate condition. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and every comfort was made available. I would recommend this property to anyone.
