Stayed there with my wife, our three kids, and their respective boy/girl friends; 8 people in total. Kids ages ranges from 17 - 20.
THE HOUSE was great... the kids were all upstairs and they loved it... just far enough away from us. The dining room table was set for us when we arrived, which was really nice, the family room was very accommodating, the kitchen was great, useful, and we did a fair amount of cooking.
THE YARD is awesome! we hung out outside, grilled, hung on the beach, and used the dock. we brought our 21' boat and it was all wonderful. There is ample room for the boat in the doc, and for the boat/trailer in the driveway.
*one word of caution, make sure you have a cover for your boat as the trees there throw a lot of leaves & pollen.
THE LOCATION/TOWN is fun and convenient. Gas and Pizza right across the street, Gator Joes is fun, and Eatons (across the lake is great).
The Boat Ramp in town is very close [the ramp is $8. Plenty of parking, easy ramps. The weekend we were there the water was surprising ruff which I think is uncharacteristic for the area].
ACTIVITIES: we hiked Juniper Springs, did 4 hours Kayaking in Silver Springs, and hit a few bars in downtown Ocala one night.
...really a great trip, and the house made A great home base.
Excellent communication with the property owner too.
really a 10 outta 10 weekend.
