8 Reviews of Property 910353 in Ocala, Florida

My daughter and I stayed at this house for a week in the spring. The house was recently remodelled and very comfortable. It was well furnished and everything worked well for our entire stay. great deal for the price. would definitely recommend it to anyone. The lake was very peaceful and I wish we would have had more time to enjoy the water. great firepit, outside deck, and BBQ in the backyard under the tree for a nice evening near the water.

This comfortable, clean and modern lakefront cabin exceeded my expectations. Ed, the owner was fantastic. He clearly loves the area and wants his guests to enjoy it too. He provided us with great ideas for activities and restaurants. He called during our stay to make sure all was well. We kayaked the nearby rivers every day and each one was beautiful, and clear with plenty of birds and wildlife. Where else can you kayak a crystal clear river and observe monkeys in a natural habitat? There is plenty of room in this home and the fenced yard would be great for dog owners. The community is warm and friendly. One night we ate dinner at Ft McKoy community center. Home cooked food for $6.00 and the money went to a good cause as well. I would recommend the rental without hesitation.

The cabin is by far one of the best cabins we ever stayed. Really clean, you will find everything you need there. The view of the lake if just breath taking. The owner was really helpful and always available by phone or email. We had an awesome time, and we will definitely come back to the Island lake retreat.

This is a very clean and beautiful cottage. We rented both the cottage and the guest house. There were five adults and four very large dogs and no one got their toes stepped on. We went to the rope swing a couple of times and to Salt Springs. Rode for hours through the country. We canoed and swam around the lake all day and night, cooked every night on the BBQ. Ed’s staff made sure we had plenty of wood for the fire pit where we cooked smores and just hung out and did a lot of talking and laughing. I also took a volleyball/badmittin game and there was plenty of room in the yard. The dogs swam and ran around playing and we didn’t have to worry about them getting out onto the road. No one, not even the dogs wanted to leave. Thank you Ed and your staff for making this a vacation to remember. We WILL be returning to this lovely place.

This is a great cottage! It was plenty big enough for us to entertain all of our family. And my mom even got her own quiet time in the guest house! Ed and his staff are the best! So generous and very attentive to his guests! They all truly care that everything is ready for you to have a great vacation. Would recommend this to anyone interested in staying near the ocala area. Thanks Ed!

This home away from home was the perfect place for our "time off" get away! If you are looking for a place to fish, canoe, swim, walk, or just plain sit and do nothing, this is it. The views from the house are exquisite...morning, noon or night! The lake is peaceful and calm. The house is nicely decorated and comfortably furnished. Ed has done a nice job providing his guests with nice linens, pretty pictures, great wine glasses, Internet, flat screen tv, and a very nice fire pit on the patio.

If you are looking for a fancy house like you would find in the city ... you might be disappointed. Instead, the owner is providing you with a wonderful, relaxing get away in a casual, out of the way place.

We dined on the river at Corky's, watched mud bloggers on the weekend, shopped antique stores and enjoyed the location of "Doc Hollywood" in Micanopy, Florida. we took a cruise down the Silver River with Captain Tom, dined in Okala at Harry's Bar and Grill, sat on the patio til all hours of the night, and had a truly wonderful vacation.

Thank-you Ed for your wonderful hospitality, your great outlook on life and your dedication to making sure that your renters have a wonderful experience. We definitely will return if the opportunity arises and will recommend your island lake house to all of our friends and family.
