Sep 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Fun Vacation Our family (6 adults and a baby) had a wonderful time in Ocklawaha. This location is quiet and out of the way yet only 30 minutes from shopping and restaurants. We ordered a couple of pizzas and had a great pool day after a couple of hours “in town”. The hosts also provided lots of board games and a mini pool table with ping pong. I loved the fact that the host had the pool toys already inflated as well. They went above our expectations and we were very comfortable!! Great property for a family getaway! ##### Kathleen B.
