Hi Rob and Amy,
Thanks for the kind words. We always appreciate reviews so we (and others) know how we’re doing.
We hope to host you again sometime.
Blessings,
Jeff and Joan
Nice modest cottage. Clean and well supplied Quiet. About 8 miles to nearest grocery but lots to do in area, springs and Workd Equestrian Center in Ocala. We usually choose areas not heavily populated so it fit our bill. Hosts very helpful, friendly and responsive.

We were happy to host Dena and her husband. I think they did like how centrally located we are for day trips all around North Central Florida.
The World Equestrian Center is a popular place, as are the local springs like Silver Springs and their glass-bottom boats, and other local springs recreation areas.
And of course only an hour away one way or the other is Daytona Beach, St. Augustine, and Homosassa Springs for the manatee-watching in season.
One place I keep mentioning - especially for the men - is the Don Garlits Racing Museum just south of Ocala. Very interesting, and there is also an antique auto museum right next door included in the admission price. That is also very interesting.
I can’t wait to return to this VRBO! The beauty of the area plus the peace and quiet was priceless. The cottage itself was comfortably furnished and the kitchen was well equipped with anything you might need! The owner was close by, a very nice person and easy to deal with.

It was a pleasure to have Robert here and get to know him. They were on the go most of the days, so they were definitely quiet and left on very good terms with us.
The hosts were excellent ,very friendly and kept communicating about trip-fast response And very accommodating with last-minute changes-would stay there again-cute place and dock for fishing- had a wonderful time and the only thing I would recommend is redoing some boards on the dock for safety -otherwise a great place and would recommend 100%
Jeff and Joan and family provided a warm and cozy winter for us. The cleanliness was a 10! Anything you may need for cooking and baking is provided. The kitchen aid stand mixer, blender, Henkels knife set and a charcoal grill was much appreciated. Top class rental!! Smiling, welcoming and helpful new friends were made - we truly enjoyed our stay. . It’s a bit far out from where we wanted to be, but the whole experience made up for it. Thank you, Jeff and Joan!

It was truly a pleasure to have Tom and Cindy visit with us. Instant friends and we had a good time teaching them new card games.
We are hoping they will come and visit again next year.
They left the house squeaky clean.
Jeff and Joan were wonderful, helpful and informative. Accommodations were spacious and clean and the view on the water side of the cottage lovely. So nice to sit outside and enjoy the variety of wild shore birds. This location made a good central spot for our day trips in all directions which was a real plus.
