About this property
Cute & Open one-story House, near World Equestrian Center & Florida Horse Park
Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, and backed up to a huge horse farm with giant oaks with dangling moss, this house in southern Ocala in horse country is peaceful and quiet while sporting all the comforts of home. We have added a furnished lanai with a sleeper sofa - a perfect place to have that morning cup of coffee or tea. We have large screen TVs in MBR, LR and kid's room and we featured a full kitchen for cooking and preparing meals. Add a huge fenced backyard facing a horse farm, this place is made for relaxing and for kids and dogs to run. Only 12 miles to the World Equestrian Center and even closer to the Florida Horse Park. Visit the many natural springs in Ocala, especially Rainbow Springs State Park for GREAT tubing down the Rainbow River. Use of garage for vehicles is by owner prior approval. Small dog are allowed after approval by owner.

About the host
Hosted by John and Sandra Boyce
We are a couple with deep roots in large families. Family interactions and memories made are key and we try to include family in all experiences. This is why we bought this house- to rest in a vacation styled home and to offer to family members who just want to get away.
We bought this house and gutted it and started everything from scratch. Summary, it was created with vacationers in mind. This is why we decided to offer it as a short-term rental - for those times when family is not using it. Now it's your turn!

Why they chose this property
We chose this property for is quiet and solitude. Close to I-75, its an easy jaunt to Orlando or Tampa - St. Pete. What we loved was the rural setting that is Ocala. And the horse farms - hundreds and hundreds of horse farms. A drive up on S Highway 475, past the Florida Horse Park or Rt 475A north towards the mall is a beautiful peaceful drive with southern ranch houses and horses.15 minutes from The World Equestrian Center and other close horse park venues, this is a great launch for your show needs.
What makes this property unique
A big draw for us was the opening of the World Equestrian Center here in Ocala. The largest equestrian center in the US, this place is a marvel just to drive by. Stop in and see where all the events and festivals happen. Gaze at the miles of fenced pasture land for horses, and the endless parking of horse trailers. We realized that hotels are a premium in this area, why not open a short-term rental. Great springs for swimming and snorkeling, its a short drive to Rainbow Springs, Silver Springs (glass bottom boats), Juniper Springs (Ocala National Forest) Salt Springs, and the St. John's River park.
