Plenty of space inside but love the screened in area on the bottom level! The full bathroom on bottom level was definitely a plus for after my son played in the river.

Waterfront Wonder

Great vibes. The stay was amazing. Close to town, yet very private and serene. Kitchen was well stocked. Canoe and paddleboat were great amenities. All the comforts of home in a perfect relaxing environment. Was just what we all needed.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Excellent trip

Needed 3 days in N Florida on way south. Float the boat worked great, secluded away from people, beautiful river view. Warm, comfortable, well equipped, clean, lots of upgrades. Only minor negative could use better deck and outside lights around house, fire pit and dock area. But still great and would definitely go back.
