    Our stay was truly wonderful. The host was incredibly responsive and kind, which made everything feel easy and welcoming from the start. We absolutely loved how spacious the property was and being right on the water made it even more special. The home was spotless, warm, and so inviting,it comfortably accommodated our entire family and gave us the perfect place to relax and make memories together. We are so grateful for the experience and will absolutely be renting from them again.

    This property is just like the listing. The house was clean and comfortable. Owners were very helpful with recommendations for dining and hiking. They were all very friendly and went out of their way to be sure we had anything we needed. Beautiful lake in a quiet neighborhood. My husband and I definitely recommend this property for families or couples. We stayed for 2 weeks and would rent again!

    I had my whole family from 78 years to 9 months old. It was perfect. Lots of space, privacy, and just an overall great location. I wasn’t sure how having someone on site would be but it was fine. He was there if you needed him but we never saw him otherwise except when we checked in and when we left! My family is already asking to rebook!

    I picked this VRBO for the lake. I wanted to be on a lake where we could, if the moment struck us, go take a dip in the lake. I also wanted a place where my family in the Ocala area could come and visit and stay overnight if possible. I got what I wanted. Our hosts, are barefoot skiers and you can tell they love it and want to share it. So they gave my husband a chance to try skiing on the lake for free. He enjoyed it. The lake was one of the smaller lakes and we had no concerns about gators or such. Don told us that in the past 5-6 years he has not heard anything about any alligators. This put my mind at ease. There were otters. We did not see the otters, just the evidence of otters of spent mussel shells. We also saw Sandhill cranes. There was a canoe available for use. My nieces were able to try their hand at going out on the lake. Another day my husband explored the lake in the canoe. Don pointed out things of interest that my spouse might like to explore while out on the water. The house was big enough to host 3 or 4 extra family members for dinner. I am sorry we did not have enough time (or energy.... so much to do) to do any grilling on the deck. The kitchen is decently stocked to make dinner and the Publix isn't too far of a car ride from the house. Don lives on the other side of the shared laundry room in a little apartment. We didn't hear him and I'm guessing he didn't hear our very loud son. So I felt that we had our privacy. All in all it was a wonderful stay.

    So glad we found Don's place to stay at during our weekend trip to the Santos Fat Tire Festival. Lots of parking behind the house so we never worried about bikes and gear in the trucks. Plus, having the huge lawn, right on the lake, was perfect for the kids. Don is an extremely good host. The house is only 10 minutes from the Santos park. We will definitely be back for the biking, and the BAREFOOTING!! Thanks for getting me back up on my feet after more than 20 years Don!! Your rock!!
