The area has the largest artesian spring formation in the world with 72 degrees warm crystal clear water all year round. Numerous other rivers are nearby such as the Ocklawaha River, the Rainbow River and the Santa Fe River which all meander through a stunning wilderness. So enjoy kayaking, snorkeling and swimming. These Springs are in reach: Silver Springs, Rainbow Springs, Silver Glen Springs, Juniper Spring, Salt Springs, Blue Spring, DeLeon Springs, Alexander Spring.

Just minutes away from the house you find access to the Cross Florida Greenway and the Marshall Swamp, a jungle-like wilderness. With lots of trails they offer a paradise for bicycling, hiking, roller blading, birding and wildlife watching.
Across the road is the Diamond Golf and Country Club, with 18 holes to play and the title 'Highest Slope Rating' in Marion County.
Goethe State Forest with it´s 23 miles of hiking trails and 41 miles of horse riding trails is only 40 miles away.
Supermarkets, drug stores, other stores such as a Walmart Supercenter and gas stations are also just around the corner.
You are within a radius of 80 miles or less to Orlando with all the amusement parks and outlet malls, as well as to Daytona Beach and to Crystal River. St. Augustine, the oldest continuously occupied European-established city and port in the continental United States is 85 miles away.
This beautiful bungalow is furnished, smart and comfortable. There are two double (queen) bedrooms and one twin bedroom. Master-bedroom has a big walk-in closet. Both bathrooms with a walk-in shower. The master-bathroom also has a bathtub. There is also a big kitchen, a recliner sofa, a double rocking recliner loveseat and a 50' flatscreen LED TV.

Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds. House has plenty of space for relaxing. Great location for enjoying many nature trails and beautiful waterways. The house is located next to a busy road. Although it is noisy on the outside, it is very quiet on the inside.

Wonderful place with lots to do
The home is very clean and located in a quiet neighborhood. The pool and pool table leave you with plenty to do when you are not visiting the springs or town. The bed was comfortable and we had everything needed to enjoy our stay. Plenty of stores and restaurants nearby but you are not in the middle of town. It was the perfect spot for us.

Cute House
House was clean and perfect for couple stay. It is on a side street which seemed to have heavy traffic so outside area was kind of noisy. Inside was quiet though. Ceiling fan in living room didn’t work and pool wasn’t clean. Small issues that I didn’t bring to owner’s attention. Pool guy came a day late which may have been the issue. Owner and property manager were very responsive to any communication I had with them. Different than some of the VRBOs we’ve stayed in as the house was also a residence it seemed. Overall a nice stay and convenient to what we wanted to do. Less than a mile from Walmart also for things you might need.

The house was exactly what was advertised. It felt like home away from home. We will definitely be returning, but next time hopefully the weather will cooperate so we are able to use the pool.

We didn't spend too much time
at your beautiful home. We were gone before sunup and back after sundown. It is a lovely home. The "second" (not master) shower tends to get slippery. It could use grab bars and a bath mat.
