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!

Highly Recommend

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.

The house on the inside was very clean. Definitely need to add some more items to the kitchen. Outside was not as clean. Spider webs everywhere, dirt dobber nest everywhere, vines growing on house. The view was beautiful and just as pictured.

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!

This place was great. There has been a recent renovation or upgrade to the home but the property and setting is really amazing. It's right on the river with a really great dock. It's private and secluded. I watched deer in the yard while I had my morning coffee. It's close enough to town for a quick run too. Really great place and I hope I get back here again soon.

If you're looking for nature, paddling or boating Floats My Boat is the spot

Very nice place, great decor, amazing view. Plus there is a little spring just a 15 to 20 minute paddle upstream. Grocery store is 10 minutes away. Had issues with some lights not working on the porch and fans but they quickly fixed it. I would stay there again for sure! The boat dock is really nice minus the small section of swirling stairs at least when your loading a boat with coolers. That didn't Bother me though because it was so nice to be on the river relaxing.
