Great place to relax

My wife and I stayed here in January, and we loved it. The house is exactly as you see in the pictures, and the host was great to work with. We would definitely stay here again if we vacation in Citrus Springs in the future.

Family friendly

Truly enjoyed our stay! Two things in particular really stood out. First, the “game room”. We really didn’t anticipate using it much as we had plans to be outdoors, but when the weather did not cooperate, the game room was amazing. It really had something for everyone, and it was an unexpected delight to be able to play pool with my elderly father. The second thing that we really enjoyed was the fully equipped kitchen. Not only was there an air fryer, but we also really appreciated having so many spices available for cooking! It was just nice to not have to purchase a bunch of spices and oils to only use for a few meals. The owners didn’t skimp on anything; there was plenty of pool towels, sunscreen, coffee Kcups, shampoo and soap, just to name a few. We have stayed at many rental properties over the last 15 years in this area and this one is our favorite. Thanks for such a great experience!

Lovely get-away with lots to do under 1 roof

Silver Dollar Sanctuary was exactly that: fully-loaded with things to do, tip-top clean, and very well appointed with lots of pillows, lovely linens & toiletries, and a significant variety of k-cups, spices, and streaming services. During our stay we also enjoyed a kayak tour to see the manatees in Crystal River (10 miles), visited the World Equestrian Center in Ocala (24 miles), and went to the movie in Inverness (12 miles). The hot tub and pool were both enjoyed (in late November) and were found clean and in working order. Any questions that came up were promptly resolved by the hosts. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this secluded get-away.

Guys weekend 2024

It was perfect for what we needed. Plenty of amenities. Everything worked. All new appliances. Lots of big screen tvs for watching games or just having background ambience playing. Huge Jacuzzi and heated pool were great. Loved hanging out at the fire pit till late. We mostly just hung out grilling and relaxing. Billiards and gaming table were fun too being that it rained the entire weekend but we loved it. This is a great property for family vacations. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Jerry and Matt Chesser

Host profile image
We are incredibly proud to be VRBO Premier Hosts and thrilled to share a piece of Florida’s natural beauty with you. The Chesser family has called Florida home for nearly 200 years, and we love welcoming guests to experience the wonders of our magnificent state.

As a father-and-son team, we’ve been business partners at 1st Priority Technologies for almost two decades, bringing the same dedication and attention to detail to our role as your VRBO hosts.

Matt, the IT Supervisor at Black Prong Equestrian Resort, was raised in Orlando but has a passion for country living and music. He enjoys concerts, dating, and spending time with friends.

Jerry also grew up in Orlando, spending summers working on family farms nearby. With five years of graduate studies in two different fields, he ultimately pursued a career in computer networking at its inception. He enjoys concerts, reading, and playing the piano, but nothing is more important to him than time with his six grandchildren.

One of our key strengths as hosts is availability. With Jerry’s flexible schedule and both of us working as a team, we ensure that any urgent issues or questions are addressed promptly. If one of us isn’t available, the other likely is. Plus, our handyman is just five minutes away, Jerry is 15 minutes away, and Matt is 20 minutes away, so in-person assistance—though rarely needed—is always within reach.

Our goal is simple: to make sure you have an absolutely spectacular vacation! We genuinely love what we do, and there’s nothing better than helping guests create lasting memories. Vacationers bring excitement and positive energy, which we wholeheartedly embrace.

We look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

Welcome to Florida’s Best-Kept Secret!

Florida is in our blood—our family settled near here nearly 200 years ago. So when it came to finding the perfect place to experience the true magic of Florida, we knew exactly what to look for. And we found it—right here.

Say goodbye to the same old vacation routine and get ready to be swept away by nature’s breathtaking wonders! Just minutes in one direction, experience something truly unforgettable—Swimming with the Manatees. This one-of-a-kind adventure is ranked by TripAdvisor as a “Top Ten” Bucket List experience in the world! No wonder Crystal River welcomes over a million visitors every year.

Head the other way, and you’ll discover Rainbow Springs, where half a billion gallons of crystal-clear spring water flow daily, creating a paradise for swimming, tubing, kayaking, and snorkeling—an adventure enjoyed by over 500,000 people a year.

And that’s just the beginning! You can also:
🌊 Go scalloping in the Gulf
🐠 Kayak through the crystal-clear waters of Three Sisters Springs with the manatees
🏖️ Relax at Hunter’s Park Beach
🌿 Explore the stunning Devil’s Den, a geological marvel
🐴 Visit the World Equestrian Center or go horseback riding
🚤 Take an exhilarating airboat ride on the Withlacoochee River
🍽️ Enjoy charming local shops and unique restaurants

But it’s not just the adventures that make this place special—it’s the feeling of a perfect escape from the city. Gaze at the stars, enjoy the quiet, and reconnect with nature.

We grew up in Orlando, surrounded by the glitz of theme parks. But no roller coaster or manmade shows can compare to the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world. We love helping people trade in their routine vacations for experiences that truly stay with them—ones you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Of course, words can only do so much. Come and experience it for yourself! Let us show you why we chose this incredible place—you’ll be just as amazed as we were!

See you soon!
Jerry & Matt
