WE LOVE THE OUTDOORS AND THE ANIMALS YOU CAN OBSERVE HERE. WE HAVE RAISED FIVE CHILDREN AND ARE NOW IN THE "PLAN FOR RETIREMENT STAGE" SO WE ENJOY HOSTING AND EXPLORING ALL FLORIDA HAS TO OFFER.

Why they chose this property

WE PICKED ASTOR, DUE TO THE CONVENIENCE OF THE 4 SPRINGS THAT ARE NEAR BY, THE OCALA NATIONAL FOREST, THE ST. JOHNS RIVER, THE COZY RESTAURANTS, AND THE SMALL TOWN FEEL. YOU CAN ALSO GET TO DAYTONA FOR BIKE WEEK, AND THE VOLUSIA SPEEDWAY FOR SOME DIRT CAR RACES.

What makes this property unique

It’s cozy and affordable, private yet has neighbors who are always there to help if you need anything. Its location is so close to several really awesome things so you can do something difft each day.
