A delightful and sunny getaway awaits when you book this fantastic vacation rental in the countryside of northern Florida. Find adventure on this capable property with a boat ramp and boat slip for activities on the water, like fishing and kayaking. Challenge your loved ones to some fun with friendly games on the volleyball court, basketball court, shuffleboard, tetherball, or let the kids play on the swing set and horseshoes. Go for a scenic picnic at the springs in the area for picturesque views while you dine.

Upon entry, you'll be met with a bright interior and a cozy atmosphere throughout the well-appointed living area. Marvel at the plush furniture, the vaulted ceilings, and the natural light blanketing the space from the large viewing windows. Stream your favorite movies on the Smart TVs or entertain your loved ones with a myriad of board games available. Prepare grand meals and touring snacks in the sophisticated eat-in kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances, a floating island breakfast bar, and a formal dining table. A dedicated workspace with a desk and chair is provided for those who need to work remotely.

Comfortable beds in spacious bedrooms ensure that everyone receives a wonderful night's rest from the day's adventures. Kids will love hosting sleepovers in the bunk room, where they can create memories that'll last a lifetime. Enjoy the outdoor space either by serving cocktails on the screened-in deck, or roasting marshmallows at the firepit until the stars come out to dot the sky.

A separate bungalow is just a few steps away for those who want some privacy, with a kitchenette and full bathroom.

May not be the place for you. very disrespectful property manager. Big families beware!!!!!!!
Nice place, but micromanage the whole time the soft host /property manager (John) is his Name is very negative person he threaten me got in my face pointing his finger in my face yelling at me in front of my kids and family. Because I advised him that the security camera over the front door is facing in the children’s bathroom.and I had my emotional support dog with me for my PTSD, so I asked him to keep his dogs from running freely so his dogs and my dog are safe. he got loud and angry, and went to violently yelling and, pointing in my face, He informed me that none of the security cameras work on the premises. later came back harassing my guests telling them that you would have to be standing on the toilet to be seen on that camera after I was advise it didn’t work. it’s a very nice place but John the property manager. not so well. We paid all that money to be able to relax and enjoy our time on the water with our family every day for the four days I was there he was showing up on his golf cart with his dogs morning and night. I have PTSD and have my dog with me and it is irresponsible for him to keep coming over with his dogs off leash and that just set him off. He told me that he was angry with me for having visitors when nowhere in the contract says I cannot have visitors over I’m not talking about overnight guests. Payed for 11 guests never had more than 10 stay the night.
