Vacation rentals with a kayak in Dixie County

We absolutely enjoyed our stay while working to restore power to Steinhatchee and Keaton Beach after Hurrican Helene. This would be a great place to come back on vacation and enjoy the town!

beautiful house. awesome location. Sheila was very easy to talk to and very helpful

This has by and far been our favorite stay! The house is situated so that the views are wonderful from all angles and the house feels comfortable!

Very well done refurbishing on the inside. So nice! We especially loved the huge Florida room with the wet bar/kitchen area! Comfortable seating, huge tv and just so peaceful. The neighbor was also friendly. We had a great time on a short trip on the inlet of the river using the canoe and kayak that were supplied. We also utilized the fire pit. Wish we could have stayed longer and hope to go back again!

Despite the weather not being on our side, my family had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. The view was amazing. It was so relaxing and peaceful. The home felt like home away from home. Definitely 10/10 recommend staying.

Great place to stay. Plenty od space to spread out our group and great spaces to gather and enjoy each others company. Safe and secure from check-in to check-out. Very clean and quiet. Didnt hear the other guests or neighbors after we went to bed. There are PLENTY of creature comforts to make tge stay enjoyable. Dual thermostats, one upstairs for the living space and one downstairs for the bedrooms. As the community continues to recover from a bad hurricane, this will only get better and better as a place to enjoy a week or more. THANKS SO MUCH to the great host for providing such a wonderful vacation spot.

From the moment we arrived at the cottage, we felt instant nostalgia. This farm stay brought back memories of childhood retreats and gave our kids an unforgettable experience. The host’s thoughtful touches—from fresh eggs and linens to a personal barn tour and hayride—made us feel right at home. The animals, especially the gentle bull Trouble and Sammy the paint horse, stole our hearts. Mornings were peaceful with coffee and roosters, and the kids were never bored, enjoying the pool, hot tub, swings, games, and even axe throwing. Our final night’s campfire under softly glowing lights was the perfect sendoff. The sounds of owls and laughter created lasting memories. This was the first stress-free vacation we’ve had as parents, and we left feeling like family. Life Renewal Ranch is more than 5 stars—it’s a place we’ll never forget. Thank you, Michelle, for your hospitality and heart. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful home, with great back porch for viewing the canal to the Suwannee River. It was a great landing place for exploring all the various Springs and State parks in the area. The springs were beautiful this time of year and had manatees, alligators, jumping fish. There is a decent 32 mile bike trail that follows the old railroad. We couldn't find bikes to rent, so we purchased a couple from Walmart and then donated them to a church in the area to find a new home for them. We weren't there for fishing, but it would be a great spot to land a boat and head out to the river which is only 3-4 houses down the canal. There is an awesome bar & grill on the water on the river which you can walk to. Highway is close by for easy access to town, grocery stores, etc. Thanks so much for a lovely stay in your home. John and Wendi

Perfect spot for the location 20 minutes from anything we wanted to do.

Beautiful house lovely house, responsive, helpful

A perfect place for rest, quiet, sunshine, slower pace of life. My wife and I bicycle, the roads in the area are great for cycling- negligible traffic, respectful drivers. This cottage is close to the road for getting into town, it was perfect for cycling. There really is no ocean beach in Steinhatchee, the closest one is 17 miles up. There is kayaking on the river. Steinhatchee was hit hard by the last hurricane, not many stores/restaurants had fully recovered, but all were trying heroically. It's a fishing village and its main tourist season is in summer for scalloping. We were there in April so it was very quiet. The nearest bigger grocery store is 20-30 min away, so plan accordingly. There are smaller stores in town for quick items. The cottage is clean, it's cozy, and very comfortable. Jessica was excellent with questions, very quick to respond, and had good advice. We enjoyed our stay in the Big Bend area of Florida very much. Thank you for sharing your cottage, Jessica.

Was a nice and relaxing place to stay near some nice springs. John was very attentive! We will be back!

Abby was truly a gift from God. We went away last min for Easter and she surprisingly hid Easter eggs for our littles to find which had them excited and surprised to be welcomed in such a beautiful matter. It meant so much to us. We definitely felt at H❤️ME.

Phenomenally beautiful location. Clean river that provided a full day of fun. Some of the deepest sleep I’ve had this year. No loud partying and plenty of friendly local folks.
