Private Family & Pup Retreat w/ Pool Oasis
Relaxed Ocala retreat where families, friends, and pups can spread out, unwind, and enjoy time together.
- Sleeps 9 | 3 bedrooms | 5 beds | 2 baths - Private outdoor pool(not heated) - available all year, open 24 hours - Detached game room w/ pool table, arcade games & Smart TV - Screened lanai, fire pit, BBQ grill & fenced backyard - Pet-friendly & family-ready w/ baby gear on request - Single level home, smart lock & dedicated workspace
The Space: Morning light slips through the trees as you settle into a slow start, coffee in hand, with a clear view of the pool just beyond the screened lanai. The air feels crisp in Ocala this time of year, making it easy to linger outside for a few quiet minutes before the day unfolds. When evening comes, the glow of gazebo lights and the pull of the fire pit invite everyone back together - for stories, games, and unhurried time you’ll remember.
Sleeping Arrangements: Henry’s Hideaway sleeps 9 with 3 bedrooms, 5 beds, and 2 baths. Inside the home, you’ll find two king beds and three twin beds set up for comfortable nights, along with bed linens, extra pillows, and room-darkening blinds. For additional sleeping space, there’s a queen pull-out sofa in the detached game room.
Indoor Living: The single level home is designed for easy gathering, with an open concept living area, high-beamed ceilings, and a large sectional paired with a recliner. Settle in for a movie on the 65 inch HDTV, enjoy board games, or let younger guests spread out in the children’s playroom. Central air conditioning and central heating keep things comfortable, and the indoor fireplace adds an extra touch of warmth on cooler Ocala nights. A dedicated workspace in a private area includes an ergonomic chair and laptop stand for anyone who needs to log on between adventures.
Kitchen & Dining: The kitchen is ready for everything from quick breakfasts to group dinners, with Samsung appliances and the essentials you need to cook and serve meals. Start your mornings with the coffee maker options - a drip coffee maker and Keurig coffee machine - then gather around the dining table or take meals out to the lanai’s screened setting when the weather cooperates.
Outdoor Living & Pool: Step out to 1.5 fenced acres with a fully fenced private backyard that gives kids and pups room to roam. The outdoor space centers around a private outdoor pool - available all year, open 24 hours - with a pool view from the lanai. After a swim, rinse off and settle into the outdoor furniture, fire up the BBQ grill: gas, or wind down by the fire pit under a clear Florida sky.
Detached Game Room: Just steps from the main house, the detached, climate-controlled game room brings everyone together with a pool table, arcade games, a game console, and a 55-inch Smart TV. It’s an easy place to shift the vibe from daytime play to relaxed evening competition.
Family, Pets, and Safety: This stay is pet-friendly, with family-ready touches like baby safety gates and children’s dinnerware. A crib, Pack ’n play/Travel crib, and standalone high chair are available upon request. For peace of mind, the home includes exterior security cameras on property, smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit. We do not put a limit on the number of dogs people can have…We state 2 but are open to more depending on breed (training).
Neighborhood & Access: Located minutes from downtown Ocala, Silver Springs State Park, and the World Equestrian Center, you’re well-placed for dining, nature, and local events.

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.

We had another return visit to the area and of course we chose Henry’s. We love the central location in Ocala while visiting family and friends. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. The backyard is huge with the pool, the available grill to cook on, and the fire pit to enjoy a nice fire at night. Let’s not forget the playroom with the pool table. Great place, perfect location from town or the villages will return again soon. Perfect place if you have pets or kids or both.

this was a wonderful place to stay, and I would definitely stay again. Henry’s Hideaway was clean had plenty, had plenty of room, and things to do. Our host was very responsive. We were in town for a funeral, unfortunately. There was a lot of running around to prepare for it and then of course the funeral itself, so unfortunately we didn’t get to stay at the home to enjoy it a lot. We will probably be coming back to work with settling the state, and visiting family., If so, I would definitely try to book it again.

Our stay was perfect! Everything we needed/wanted was right there all in one. The kids had the best time swimming and using the game room. My husband and I enjoyed the screened in patio area to watch football. We dined as a family out on the patio as well. I fell in love with the comfort of the couch and master bed! Couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay for our family weekend get a way! Thank you for sharing your lovely comfy home!!

Silver Springs Visit
We traveled with toddlers and they had the best time swimming in the pool, running in the backyard, and playing in the game room. The house was set up perfectly for a family getaway. We have listed the house as on of our favorites and we hope to be back in the future. We highly recommend Henry’s Hideaway!

Perfect In Every Way
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.

The house is exactly as pictured but the pictures don't really do it justice! It is a beautiful property with so much to do, you don't really need to go anywhere else. But if you do, things are close by! Grocery store - 8 min, The Canyons Zip Lining - 25 min, Silver Springs - 20 min. It was also so nice to be able to bring it pups along.
