We were very happy to be staying here, we could have not asked for friendlier people who run this place. The people who permanently live here make you feel like family here. Each Sat they have live music and potluck at a nice open bar grill on the lake. Showers are very clean, the place is well maintained, quiet and peaceful. We would definitely come back!

Bar plays music till 10pm which isnt bad at all. They'll accept mail on your behalf. Never did walk to the bathroom/shower. Dog park had neglectful owners and left droppings behind. Most of the long term residents were quiet and some very run down. Could hear the pump house run constantly. About 10-15 to nearest gas and grocery stores. Wish more people were as honest as me.

The service was just fair, but do to the amount of tables that were filled, I wasn't surprised. My husband had a hamburger and I had the prime rib burger and they were large portions, and we both had to bring some of it home. I enjoyed my meal, my husband wasn't quite as impressed by his. I think we will go back another time when they aren't as busy, as they are very near where we live and we do enjoy a convenience.

There was a nice sea breeze and a pier you could walk out on with a few tables there too. There is a food truck that is always on site that serves some tasty beef tacos with a delicious homemade pico as well as several other food options. Drink service at the bar was very slow as several people (I assume locals) came in after me but were served before me. It's great that everyone knows everyone, but we out of towners would like to support you too. We only ended up getting one drink each because of this.

So after winning the gift card, I decided to stop in and I had the mango habanero wings! They were fantastic!! There were several old timers in there and I had fantastic conversation also. Mary, the bartender was very sweet and on top of her game. So I paid with my gift card and they tell me that the gift card was issued in 2023 but they were gonna honor it since I was a big winner. They didn't have to do that but they did and I'm glad! I will be returning for more wings and fantastic conversation. Thank you so much castaways for making my first time visit there a great visit and eating the cost of my wings because the gift card was from a previous owner donation. Thank you!!!!

Can't go wrong with their daily 10 under $10! Pit stopped here between Ocala and heading home. The…read more10 for $10 means you get to choose between 10 entrees (with two sides) under $10. We both got the 4oz grilled pork chop with coleslaw and house salad. The food was nothing too special, but we were full. We also ordered a couple of beers and shots, which was on happy hour. Overall - it's a cheap place to eat and you definitely get money for your buck. They have pool tables upstairs and two arcade games. You need quarters for which we didn't have. Our server was nice enough to make change for us, but we had to head out.

Service was quite good, but the food was very basic. Nothing special. Not worth coming back.read more
