About this property
Pet-friendly hideaway w/ arcade & fire pit
Welcome to Henry’s Hideaway - a dog-themed Ocala retreat for families & pups alike!
- Sleeps 9 | 3 bedrooms | 5 beds | 2 baths - Private pool (year-round, not heated) - Detached game room w/ pool table & arcade - Fenced 1.5-acre yard w/ fire pit - Fully equipped kitchen w/ Samsung appliances - Pet-friendly ($99/pet fee) & family-ready w/ baby gear on request
Morning light settles over the lanai while steam rises from your coffee cup, the yard still quiet before the day gets going. By afternoon the kids and the dogs have claimed the fenced yard as their own, and once the sun dips, the fire pit takes over as the evening’s gathering spot. Henry’s Hideaway is built around that rhythm - open space, easy togetherness, and room for everyone (two legs or four) to settle in.
Sleeping Arrangements: The single-level layout sleeps up to nine across three bedrooms and five beds - two kings and three twins - plus a queen pull-out sofa in the detached game room for extra guests. Every bed comes with cotton linens, extra pillows and blankets, and room-darkening blinds for a proper night’s rest.
Indoor Living: The main living area opens up with high-beamed ceilings, a sectional and recliner facing a 65-inch HDTV, and a game console for quieter nights in. Central air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans, and portable fans keep things comfortable regardless of the season, and an indoor fireplace adds warmth when the evenings turn cool. A dedicated workspace with a chair, desk, and surge protector is tucked into its own private space if you need to get some work done.
Kitchen & Dining: The kitchen is fully equipped for real cooking, with a Samsung refrigerator, Samsung stainless steel oven, SAMSUNG stainless steel electric stove, microwave, dishwasher, mini fridge, and freezer. Mornings run on a drip coffee maker or Keurig, and the dining table seats the group together, with the lanai’s table for eight as an easy overflow for meals outside. Cookware, dishes, silverware, wine glasses, a toaster, baking sheet, and blender round out the setup, and barbecue utensils are on hand for the gas grill outside.
Bathrooms: Both bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower gel, and cleaning products, plus a hair dryer and a bathtub for soaking off the day.
Outdoor Living: Outside, 1.5 fenced acres give everyone - kids, dogs, grown-ups - room to spread out. The above-ground pool runs 4 feet deep and is open all year, though it’s not heated, so expect it to run cool outside the warmer months. The detached, climate-controlled game room sits just steps from the house with an 8-foot pool table, 60-game arcade, life-size games, a theme room, 55-inch Smart TV, and a beverage fridge - built for rainy afternoons or just escaping the heat. Beyond that, you’ve got a fire pit, gas grill, outdoor dining area, and plenty of outdoor furniture for sitting out under the gazebo lights.
Pet & family Details: This home is pet-friendly, with 2 dog max on how many dogs can come along - (may consider more on case by case basis) and we may ask that you check in with us first, since it can depend on breed and training. A $99 per-pet fee applies. For families, a crib, pack ‘n play, and standalone high chair are available upon request, along with children’s dinnerware, outlet covers, baby safety gates, and board games. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit are on-site for peace of mind, along with exterior security cameras (a Ring camera at the front door and a Ring Floodlight at the game room) for guest safety and comfort.
Location: You’re just minutes from downtown Ocala, Silver Springs State Park, and the World Equestrian Center, with easy access to trails, dining, and local attractions nearby.
Getting In There: Self check-in with a smart lock makes arrival simple, and you’ll have a private entrance plus a 2-space residential garage for parking. Wifi keeps you connected throughout your stay at Henry’s Hideaway.
Guest Access: Exclusive access to the entire house and property. Keyless entry with advance smart lock code provided.
Pet-Friendly Guidelines: Dogs only, max 2 pets (more on a case-by-case basis with extra fee). Pets must be vaccinated and flea/tick free. Blankets provided to cover furniture.
Additional Details: Rental Contract: Required for booking.
Game Room Features: Detached Room: Just steps away from the main house.

Loved it, great place to just relax and have family time. Plenty of room and plenty of fun. The dogs loved the big backyard, the kids loved the pool and game room. I loved the screened in sun room with tv.
Just like the photos. VERY clean, beds were comfy. I loved sitting on the back porch watching football with the family. 7 of us stayed, 4 adults and 3 teen boys, having 2 kings and 3 twins was perfect. Rooms were big, could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you!
Thank you for a lovely house to stay at!! It made our week full of swim competition relaxed and enjoyable!!
We appreciated the super clean house!!!
We loved the house and the location. We will definitely stay there again if it is available.
Thank you 😎.
We loved the home! Very clean, exactly as advertised, maybe even better. Incredible back yard. Set up for pets although we didn’t bring ours. Everything provided that we needed. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
We booked before any hurricanes and stayed during Milton and power outage occurred for maybe six hours while sleeping. The stay was very pleasant and wonderful for my family. We enjoyed pool time swimming to pool time in the game room. Wonderful and nice flow through home setup. We would definitely stay again.
My daughter was getting married that weekend and we needed a bigger place for the siblings to stay during the wedding festivities. We could not have asked for a nice place. The home was very clean and appropriately appointed. The host was outstanding in providing all the information everyone needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Do not hesitate to stay at this property.
This property was exactly as described and as seen in the photos. The host couldn't have thought of anything else to make our stay more enjoyable. Our dog absolutely loved the huge fenced in backyard. Although, it was just me, my husband and our dog, this house is perfect for a large family. We will be back when in the area.
This was the most relaxing staycation I’ve had.My family and pups enjoyed every moment .As I was driving away on my last day I already was missing Henry’s Hideout .Mary was a great communicator and amazing host . We truly appreciate letting us stay in this lovely home .
Every single detail was taken into consideration even doggy bowls and doggy towels .
Thank you
This house was amazing from the start! Great communication, very clean, fully stocked kitchen, amazing game room for the kids and a massive pool. We stayed five nights and loved every minute.
The house was incredibly clean and comfortable! The property and outside area was beautiful! We didn’t bring our dogs but it is nice to know we can and you can’t even tell dogs have stayed there they’ve taken such good care of the place! I highly recommend this VRBO to anyone staying in Ocala!
We arrived to a clean home that was in good shape and well maintained. My family enjoyed the pool and the location was central to many of the theme parks and activities we had planned for the week. The back porch is great for relaxing. I’ve stayed at many VRBOs and this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Definitely recommend if you’re visiting Ocala.
Henry’s hideaway was very welcoming. The kitchen was stocked with all tools to cook our family meals. Nicely decorated with plenty of seating. Easy to get in and out of. We enjoyed the yard, the pool and had a campfire our last night.
Stayed with wife and friends and our doggies. Everything about the property is wonderful and as advertised. We will be booking here again for our next trip to Ocala, Fl for sure!!
Had such a great time!! Very nice and peaceful place to stay!! The Family enjoyed the pool and game room!! Very convenient location to everything we wanted to do and see. Mary was a great host!!
