Guest Review
Plenty of space, privacy, and comfort! The large kitchen was perfect for late-night conversations and relaxed morning breakfasts. While we didn’t use the pool, we loved the spacious pool deck, grill, and hot tub. With parents and adult children in our group, having private suites made all the difference.

About the host
Hosted by Brantley and Anne Overcash
Former CPA Tax partner (Brantley) and feature writer/soon to be Realtor (Anne) turned pool guy & gal, painter, chef, comedian, DIY experts and parents to three high academic young adults. When not looking like the pool guy and DIY intern - we're out and about lowering our blood pressure by biking, running, walking & playing pickleball. ANNE LOVES TO LAUGH & BRANTLEY TALKS TOO MUCH :0)
Why they chose this property
We've owned this property since 1989, We're tucked away on a hill-top and close to Big Box shopping, dining and entertainment. We neighbor the Villages and close by Lake Weir. Hwy 42 is a scenic gateway for bikers enroute to Daytona or Leesburg bike fest - and, to area springs, wedding and show jumping venues. It's the perfect stop for commuting to the Daytona races, dirt or ATV biking in the Ocala National Forest and visiting many of our area springs.
The property was originally an orange grove with literally 100's of acres of citrus. This three acres property is home to many birds and a wonderful sunrise and sunset. We have plenty of room for parking cars and boats. It's an easy commute to Florida's beaches and Daytona Speedway. You'll love the surrounding rolling hills dotted with lakes and orange groves, lake side recreation and restaurants within five minutes. We're a short drive to hiking, biking trails on the Belleview Santos canopied bike park and horseback riding on the Florida Greenway (Cactus Jack trail rides).
MUST SEE AND DO: Rainbow Springs for tubing and kayaking circa 40 mins west of us. The Ocala National Forest and it's area springs are only 40 minutes to the east and are HUGE attractions for folks who want to snorkel, kayak and dive (especially, Alexander and it's HUGE Bowl) Juniper & Alexander springs are our most requested visitors sites. ALERT - arrive early to avoid disappointment on holiday weekends and summer 'Before/shortly after the park opens'.
Dining and nightly dancing - we're located very close to shopping, restaurants and entertainment on the Villages picturesque town squares. Also, ONLY 5mins from
Lake Weir dining and Wend Entertainment - also The Dragonfly tasting Winery and eats 2 mins west on CR42.
WHO doesn't prefer their own private bathroom? That's what you'll get here.

What makes this property unique
VALUE FOR MONEY - per family - we're LESS than the price of a hotel room. Every sleeping room has it's own private bathroom and TV. Private get away on three acres. very close to the Ocala National Forest, kayaking, tubing and bike trails. The Villages less than 8 mins for visiting grandparents and dancing on unique town squares. Your own private pool & kitchen. If you enjoy being tucked away with larger city happenings within reach - you'll fit right in here!
