Weekend Getaway to Florida Springs & St Augustin

We had a great time in Astor FL visiting both Alexander Springs and DeLeon Springs State Park. This was the perfect location as both parks were located within about 15 minutes of the property. We had dinner at Castaways Restaurant - food was good, friendly crowd and live music! We did some shopping at Barberville Yard Art Emporium in Pierson, just down the road. Host was very friendly and communicated timely and answered all our questions.

Astor fishing trip

We enjoyed our stay at the “lodge”. It was very clean and decorated with a lodge feel. Linda was great to communicate with and loved her manatee items. It is a great location for fishing and sightseeing.

This house was perfect for working remote while enjoying Ocala National Forest. The internet was fast and stable enough for us to have zoom calls in different rooms. The kitchen was also well stocked with all the equipment needed for baking dinner and a pie or a giant stew. The giant shower was also a bonus. It was just what we were looking for, a home base for our Florida Adventure!

WE MOVED TO FLORIDA FROM PA IN 2014, WE HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS YOU CAN DO AND SEE HERE, AND NOW WE ARE HEAVILY INVESTED IN FLORIDA THRU ALL OF THE AMAZING MEMORIES WE HAVE MADE . WE LOVE THE OUTDOORS AND THE ANIMALS YOU CAN OBSERVE HERE. WE HAVE RAISED FIVE CHILDREN AND ARE NOW IN THE "PLAN FOR RETIREMENT STAGE" SO WE ENJOY HOSTING AND EXPLORING ALL FLORIDA HAS TO OFFER.

Why they chose this property

WE PICKED ASTOR, DUE TO THE CONVENIENCE OF THE 4 SPRINGS THAT ARE NEAR BY, THE OCALA NATIONAL FOREST, THE ST. JOHNS RIVER, THE COZY RESTAURANTS, AND THE SMALL TOWN FEEL. YOU CAN ALSO GET TO DAYTONA FOR BIKE WEEK, AND THE VOLUSIA SPEEDWAY FOR SOME DIRT CAR RACES.

What makes this property unique

It’s cozy and affordable, private yet has neighbors who are always there to help if you need anything. Its location is so close to several really awesome things so you can do something difft each day.
