Guest Review Plenty of space, privacy, and comfort! The large kitchen was perfect for late-night conversations and relaxed morning breakfasts.

Our family had a delightful Christmas celebration in Brantley and Anne,'s wonderful home. The house is immaculate and we enjoyed the large kitchen, comfy beds and fun pool. Our parents enjoyed the quiet and comfort of the cottage. Great place to stay with lots of nearby trails and spots to visit

Exceptional guests - great communication - easy going - very clean. Thank you Leslee for your stellar clean-up on exit - this was truly appreciated on a same day check-in! What a relief to not have to fix, replace or put any items back in-place - even the hot tub cover was put back on - no heat escaping! Many thanks for helping wash pool towels, etc., that saved us a ton of time on the turn around. Applause and thank you very much!
Our group of 14, The Best Friends Club, enjoyed cooking our own meals, playing games and using the pool. The convenient location to town was great.

Highly recommend this Beautiful property!
Great accommodations for a large group of visitors, very clean and well keep. We highly recommend it. Brantley and Anne Overcash made our group feel very welcome !
We stayed at this quaint and just right for our team B&B. It accommodated our group perfectly and we hope to stay again in the future. The hosts are very warm, responsive and helpful from the moment you book with them until you depart. We truly had a great time staying at the Shamrock Crown & Thistle.

Thank you very much for visiting, Anita. Hope to see your sweet faces again sometime. Merry Christmas.
We absolutely loved everything about this house. The pool was perfect for my 4 year old son. The owner was always there for anything we needed help with, and the location was perfect.
We actually live near this property but with 2 of my grandchildren in college this year we didn't have time to travel north. What a special place to have the family under one roof. My wife wants to have All of our gatherings here now, we will definitely be back.

Thank you very much Randy for your visit and for taking fantastic care of the property. You have a very sweet family circle.
This is an absolutely delightful place for a warm & wonderful reunion of family or friends. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own private space or gather with the entire group. Lovely quaint touches and "personality" everywhere. Highly recommended if you want a relaxed, unique and memorable vacation gathering!!

Many thanks for the spectacular clean-up on exit - all is very much appreciated! Our best to you and yours on your next big adventure. Take care, Anne and the family.
Our stay was fantastic. The owners were very nice and responsive. We hope to stay here again! The house was perfect for our large family and the pool was very nice. The house was very clean and we had no issues at all. I would highly recommend this location.
When making arrangements from Minnesota there is a trust factor that the place you rent is going to be as shown online. This place exceeded our expectations!! Beds were comfortable, spacious kitchen with everything you need, relaxing pool, veranda and poolside sitting stupid were amazing! Thanks you so much for a wonderful stay!

You all were fantastic guests. Thank you very much for visiting.
We were celebrating my mother's 60th birthday (a few months late) and it was perfect. The kids could swim, the kitchen was huge, and there was plenty of space for everyone. You aren't too far from stores but still outside of the city center.
We were all from out of town coming in for a family wedding.
We wanted a to enjoy as much time together as possible.
The home was perfect. The pool was inviting and the spot where we all sat and visited. Very quiet and relaxing.
I would recommend this home for a group event or family reunion.
Fun memories!

Great stay for my Dad's surprise 90th Birthday party
We traveled from Florida, Atlanta, Oklahoma and Connecticut for my Dad's 90th surprise birthday party/
House was wonderful fit all of the families that traveled, giving everyone their own space if needed.
Patio area was perfect for our family BBQ party.
Everyone had a great time and fully enjoyed our stay.
Would highly recommend this property for large family reunions, more than plenty of room for all.
House was well fitted and very clean.
Owners were wonderful and available if needed.

Thank you! So glad that your big family had a lots of space and a great time.
Fantastic memories for your dad - seeing all the family in one place. He sure was surprised!!! Best to you all.

Property provided everything we wanted for a relaxing home while visiting nearby Villages. Everyone having their own bedroom with bath allowed individuals to maintain their own routines without impacting others. As the weather was perfect during our stay, we spent most of day and early evening around the pool and patio. The ability to congregate as a group in the evening was easy with the multiple large rooms on the first floor of the house. Overall a very enjoyable experience for the 4+ days we were there.

Family reunion with 18 of us from various parts of U.S.
We used all bedrooms which were well furnished and all had their own bathrooms! The kitchen was large and very well furnished with every appliance and gadget we needed. The pool was great and best sized for pool volleyball. We felt safe and secure. The owners were prompt in replying to any questions. Nearby were many forms of entertainment and stores. We loved this place.
The house fit our needs! Each family group had their own room & bathroom. The pool and sitting area was wonderful. The owners returned calls immediately, answered all questions and fixed problems promptly. We cooked most of our meals in the large kitchen & found enough utensils & cooking items. The house sits away from town, secluded, great porch sitting, but super close with easy access to stores & restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again if we needed to.

Thank you very much, Susan. Glad you all made wonderful memories.
Our host was very accomodating and was readily available. Nice, well-stocked kitchen for cooking in. The house was very dark inside and there was no place for our large group to gather except the dining room table. The outside patio was lovely with two umbrella tables and extra chairs. The property needs a lot of maintenance, but that did not impact our stay. Overall, we had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend this property,

Glad to host Mr. Jones and his Class of ’62 classmates. We take seriously all guest suggestions on how we can improve our property. We have reprioritized some projects to address concerns mentioned by Mr. Jones. Among these are…touching up some fascia at the back of the house and cottage, repainting the ramp to the front porch to address some chipped paint, addressing some small gaps below a few porch spindles, touching up a few spots on the front porch ceiling that need recaulking, and adjusting a couple of fence posts to get everything into alignment. We try to be proactive, but often times more pressing repair items take priority over the items mentioned above. We’re hoping to have these items taken care of in the next 60 days (or sooner).
I am perplexed however at the statement that the house was very dark inside. We have overhead lighting in every guest room, hallway, and common area & use almost exclusively 800+ lumen LED bulbs. There are multiple other light sources (lamps, wall sconces, canned lights) for every room. A few areas have dimmers which can make a big difference if they are turned down. We did find one overhead light (two bulb fixture) in a room off the kitchen where one bulb was putting out very little light. We’ve also added a 1600 lumen bulb to a two light fixture in the back hallway, and same to one overhead bathroom light. I will see if these areas are too bright as this is the first time anyone has ever mentioned lighting being a problem. One gentleman in Mr. Jones’ group did call us one evening to find out how to turn off lights in the library and other common areas (we like to keep lights on in common areas for safety). The lights over the piano were disconnected, one lamp on a timer was turned off and with the overhead lights off, yes it most definitely will be dark. In addition every room/area has at least one other source for outside light (windows, French doors) and most have two or more.
Regarding a gathering place for more than 8 persons, the dining room can hold up to 14. There are actually two dining areas which can accommodate collectively 20 when dining. We have hosted over 150 groups in the last 7 ½ years in addition to our normal operation as a Bed & Breakfast, & with few exceptions the groups have found our covered porches and large pool area more than meets the need for group gatherings. Our large kitchen also provides a regular place to gather & the room right off the kitchen accommodates 8 comfortably.
This was the perfect place for my whole family to spend the weekend celebrating my mother's birthday. Everyone was thrilled to have their own room and my parents loved the privacy of the separate cottage. The kids spent hours in the pool, running around in the huge backyard, and playing the piano. The adults enjoyed lounging on the pool deck and playing board games in the dining room in the evenings. The large kitchen was great. Even with multiple cooks in the kitchen, it never felt crowded. Our host, Brantley, stopped by to make sure everything was in order and shared some stories and laughs. A wonderful home for a memorable family gathering!

Why they chose this property
We've owned this property since 1989, We're tucked away on a hill-top and close to Big Box shopping, dining and entertainment. We neighbor the Villages and close by Lake Weir. Hwy 42 is a scenic gateway for bikers enroute to Daytona or Leesburg bike fest - and, to area springs, wedding and show jumping venues. It's the perfect stop for commuting to the Daytona races, dirt or ATV biking in the Ocala National Forest and visiting many of our area springs.
The property was originally an orange grove with literally 100's of acres of citrus. This three acres property is home to many birds and a wonderful sunrise and sunset. We have plenty of room for parking cars and boats. It's an easy commute to Florida's beaches and Daytona Speedway. You'll love the surrounding rolling hills dotted with lakes and orange groves, lake side recreation and restaurants within five minutes. We're a short drive to hiking, biking trails on the Belleview Santos canopied bike park and horseback riding on the Florida Greenway (Cactus Jack trail rides).
MUST SEE AND DO: Rainbow Springs for tubing and kayaking circa 40 mins west of us. The Ocala National Forest and it's area springs are only 40 minutes to the east and are HUGE attractions for folks who want to snorkel, kayak and dive (especially, Alexander and it's HUGE Bowl) Juniper & Alexander springs are our most requested visitors sites. ALERT - arrive early to avoid disappointment on holiday weekends and summer 'Before/shortly after the park opens'.
Dining and nightly dancing - we're located very close to shopping, restaurants and entertainment on the Villages picturesque town squares. Also, ONLY 5mins from Lake Weir dining and Wend Entertainment - also The Dragonfly tasting Winery and eats 2 mins west on CR42.
WHO doesn't prefer their own private bathroom? That's what you'll get here.
What makes this property unique
VALUE FOR MONEY - per family - we're LESS than the price of a hotel room. Every sleeping room has it's own private bathroom and TV. Private get away on three acres. very close to the Ocala National Forest, kayaking, tubing and bike trails. The Villages less than 8 mins for visiting grandparents and dancing on unique town squares. Your own private pool & kitchen. If you enjoy being tucked away with larger city happenings within reach - you'll fit right in here!
