About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire house boat to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Florida Tropical paradise. House boat is on the end of a long dock, total privacy and extremely close to some serious nature. Alligators, Ospreys, Eagles, Manatees, Otters, Turkey, Racoons, ..the list goes on and you will seen them. Feed turtles from the dock. Jump into a Kayak for at trip into the outback, creeks and streams. . Fish off the dock and catch you lunch. Our marina is at the end of a country maintained road thru the Ocala forest. Super quiet, starlight, orchestra of nature at night. Sustainable composting toilet, romantic outdoor shower with a view of the water, you feel like the Swiss Family Robinson. BBQ, fridge, freezer, a kitchen with all the gear to cook. This is a place to make some memories, connect with nature and each other. But...short drive (10 mins) to the quaint town that sits on the St Johns river and you have a number of really good restaurants, some with water views, steaks and seafood, entertainment and sports bars. Its got it all! The highway here is quick and connects to all the Interstates, to all your favorite theme parks and also the best beaches. See old Florida, real Florida, meet locals., make memories, make romance. This is the spot. Need someone to prep some meals? Trained chef can whip up some great meals for a reasonable extra fee. Or, stop by the local market and pick up you own favorite foods.
