Beautiful lake house property

This property is just like the listing. The house was clean and comfortable. Owners were very helpful with recommendations for dining and hiking. They were all very friendly and went out of their way to be sure we had anything we needed. Beautiful lake in a quiet neighborhood. My husband and I definitely recommend this property for families or couples. We stayed for 2 weeks and would rent again!

Amazing place!

I had my whole family from 78 years to 9 months old. It was perfect. Lots of space, privacy, and just an overall great location. I wasn’t sure how having someone on site would be but it was fine. He was there if you needed him but we never saw him otherwise except when we checked in and when we left! My family is already asking to rebook!

Lake access and free ski lesson

I picked this VRBO for the lake. I wanted to be on a lake where we could, if the moment struck us, go take a dip in the lake. I also wanted a place where my family in the Ocala area could come and visit and stay overnight if possible. I got what I wanted. Our hosts, are barefoot skiers and you can tell they love it and want to share it. So they gave my husband a chance to try skiing on the lake for free. He enjoyed it. The lake was one of the smaller lakes and we had no concerns about gators or such. Don told us that in the past 5-6 years he has not heard anything about any alligators. This put my mind at ease. There were otters. We did not see the otters, just the evidence of otters of spent mussel shells. We also saw Sandhill cranes. There was a canoe available for use. My nieces were able to try their hand at going out on the lake. Another day my husband explored the lake in the canoe. Don pointed out things of interest that my spouse might like to explore while out on the water. The house was big enough to host 3 or 4 extra family members for dinner. I am sorry we did not have enough time (or energy.... so much to do) to do any grilling on the deck. The kitchen is decently stocked to make dinner and the Publix isn't too far of a car ride from the house. Don lives on the other side of the shared laundry room in a little apartment. We didn't hear him and I'm guessing he didn't hear our very loud son. So I felt that we had our privacy. All in all it was a wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Don Simon, Jon DeBelak or Marc Donahue

The three of us all own & rent out properties in Florida, Indiana, Wisconsin and Canada.

Why they chose this property

It is a large property that is secluded and has plenty of privacy. We found this foreclosure next to a legendary Barefoot water skier friend and had a vision to rehabilitate and restore property for the three owners & welcomed guests to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Spacious lake front 1963 brick home has a workable layout to accommodate large groups if needed. The property has a nice lake view on private Bowers lake that has two Palm trees by the sandy shore and fresh water to recreate in or relax while viewing.
