We had a wonderful time enjoying the Rainbow River. This house had everything we needed for visiting and socializing inside. While we did utilize the back yard and dock some, there weren't many chairs. After a visit from the neighbor about property lines, it was clear that this was by design.
We spent plenty of time on the river with the kayaks that were provided. We tubed and rented a pontoon on other days. We could not get the pontoon we rented into the little inlet that this house sits on, but kayaks made it through fine, (and smaller boats would be okay), so we "taxi'd" via kayaks to the pontoon. The water in the inlet is like a pond, not as clear and clean as the river and not what I would consider swimmable. We had a small gator and a lot of gar there who were fun to watch. Kids did some pond fishing from the dock. You can see Rainbow River from the house and dock, but you just can't walk to the river from the property without trespassing into the neighbor's yard.
If you are not expecting river front access, a fire pit or gathering outside a lot, this is an awesome house at a good value. Getting to the river via a quick kayak ride allowed for amazing days on the river!
