Comments: (2/9/05) - "This is one of the nicest, if not THE nicest, horse motel we have stayed at. The owners are friendly and caring and the facility is wonderful. The human accommodations are awesome. We were welcomed warmly and graciously and our horses were taken excellent care of. Large stalls in a well kept, clean barn. The human accommodations are upstairs - two bedrooms with a little balcony/patio. It has my very highest recommendation.". . . (3/5/06) - "Easy Access, clean facilities, friendly host, and a wonderful room to stay for those that are looking for lodging. I used the RV hookup. I plan to come back any time I am in the area.". . .(11/20/06) - "This was a great overnight experience for the equine and human travelers! The McGahas were very friendly and accommodating, and the horse facilities were very nice. A welcomed break on our three-day cross country relocation with horses in tow.". . .(12/31/06) - "Wonderful barn, highly recommend! Staying at this barn was like a like a horse lover's dream come true. My family rented the lovely 2 bedroom apartment located within the barn. I was able to check on my horse simply by stepping onto the balcony and gazing down into her stall. The stalls were very clean and roomy. Mr. Mcgaha was very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this facility for a short or long stay. If you are like me, you won't want to leave!". . .(3/25/07) - "What an outstanding facility! The owners -Robert and Lynn are very friendly, fantastic, well organized, and very very hospitable. We were very lucky to find their facility to stay overnight with our horses as we traveled through the area. We will definitely go there again, with or without our horses. Any one reading this would greatly benefit from staying there. We simply contacted a horse motel for our trip and ended up making new friends for life. Thank you again Robert and Lynn!!". . .(6/26/07) - "This was a great facility and the hosts were very accommodating to all of our needs. We would highly recommend staying here as it was very close to the interstate with very clean accommodations for humans and horses.". . .(8/8/07) - "Exceptionally clean stalls and barn area. The two bedroom apartment was as nice as any hotel we have stayed in. The hosts were very friendly, allowed us to use the round pen and pasture, and sent us home with some newly picked tomatoes! A most definite recommendation!". . .(11/8/07) - "The hosts were super friendly, and their barn is beautiful! The apartment they rented us above the barn was gorgeous as well and I only wish they were closer to things we had wanted to see because I would have loved to stay longer!". . .(11/17/07) - "This was absolutely the most wonderful place to stay. Lynne and Robert were the nicest and most wonderful hosts that anyone could expect. I stayed on my way to FL and looked forward to my return visit. They are great.". . .(11/19/07) - "Wonderful place and owners! Gracious and kind! Robert came to find us around 1 am, in the bitter cold and darkness as we had gotten lost. Would recommend this place to anyone! They are extremely kind to animals and people. GOD BLESS YOU!". . .(1/15/08) - "Very clean, safe and lots of shavings. The owners were wonderful, and living arrangements for us were great too. Very comfortable bed!". . .(2/4/08) - ". . . . At the end of a long day of driving their kindness was very much appreciated. Even helped me clean out my trailer and load a rather reluctant filly the next morning. The stall was well bedded and spotless. Their upstairs appartment is stunning, not to mention their personal apartment right in the barn. Absolutely fabluous! I give this facility the highest marks possible and, if traveling that way, will certainly plan to stay with them again.". . .(3/23/08) - "It was an awesome experience and I recommend this facility to anyone! Bob and Lynn were gracious hosts. The apartment was out of this world. They made us and our horse feel right at home. The stall was ready for our mare upon arrival - clean and neat. We were able to look over our mare throughout the night. We had one of the best nights sleep there! Thank you so much! We will recommend you and stop if we are ever through there again.". . .(9/3/08) - "What a wonderful place to relax and enjoy! We needed somewhere to get away from Hurricane Gustav with our horses and dogs and could not have found a better place. We ended up staying 4 nights and it was such a pleasant experience. I will certainly recommend R & L Farms to anyone coming through this area. We were made to feel like family and their help and expertise was very much appreciated. Thank you Rob and Lynn!"

Comments: (8/13/07) - "On our late afternoon arrival from the AQHYA World Show in Ft. Worth, TX to Orlando, FL we were immediately greeted by the owners and shown to our stalls. The stalls were spacious, well-bedded and had fresh water waiting. We were able to hang fans to keep horses cool and hose them off if needed. They offered us refreshments and use of the bathroom in the barn if needed. They were very kind, welcoming and helpful by assissting in cleaning and parking the trailer. Overall great facility, that is safe and relaxing. We will be highly recommending this stable to everyone! We want to again thank the owners for all their help and greatly appreciate our time spent there.". . .(12/14/07) - "Marty and Lynda were very hospitable.

Marty met me and helped unload my horse, cleaned out my trailer and backed it up for me at the R.V. spot. They offered me food and the use of their bathroom in the barn.

Their hospitality was wonderful. My stay with them was as good as you can get while on the road with horses. I highly recommend them in every way.". . . (5/23/08) - "I have never been treated so well at an overnight facility. I was greeted by Marty & his daughter & as soon as I got my horse out of the trailer Shelby was cleaning it out. Marty helped me get my horse settled in & my trailer plugged in. The stalls are clean & spacious with deep bedding. There was fresh clean water there waiting for me. He had a restroom there for us to use in the barn. If I get back down this way I woud go out of my way to board here again. Thanks Marty.". . . (7/31/08) - "My daughter and I stayed going and coming home from our trip to New Mexico. What a pleasure it was to stay at the Circle G Ranch. The accommodations and hospitality were beyond expectations. On our way back we were running late and they had food there waiting on us so we wouldn't have to go into town to eat. Marty and his lovely christain family were so refreshing to be around."

Comments: (10/30/07) - "Antonia Casciano is a wonderful host. I had problems getting to that destination at a reasonable time, but Antonia met me at the gate with the type of friendliness that everyone should have. Thanks Ocean Breeze Farm.". . . (11/4/07) - "Absolutely Fantastic! My husbands second and our families first visit at Ocean Breeze. Antonia is wonderful...even though we arrived late in the evening (we did call to let her know) - she was waiting for us...the stalls were perfect - the "people" accommodations offered comfort and privacy. Truly a wonderful family - security was not even a thought...If you need a place for you and your horses and dogs too - this is a place you can rest your head and sleep peacefully...and wake to a wonderful cup of coffee before you hit the road again. Whenever our travels cross this way again, we will stay at Ocean Breeze." . . .(11/13/07) - "Antonio & Mario made us feel very welcomed in their beautiful home. They are very knowledgeable about horses. Their barn and stall are very well kept. If traveling to/through their area again with horses I would definitely stay with them and I highly recommend anyone traveling through there to stay with them. Excellent hosts and facilities. Thank you again, Robin Hunter.". . . (11/14/07) - "Host very friendly and helpful, did a great job making you feel right at home. Couldn't have asked for better. Pictures of the place are great, but not as great as the real thing.". . .(11/14/07) - "Antonia and Mario were so delightful. We will always remember their patience in waiting till we arived, the dinner and their overall hospitality. The facility for my horses and myself were very home like. I give them 5 stars. I can't wait to stop there again.". . .(12/6/07) - "Antonia and Mario do a wonderful job for us horsemen on the road. I stayed on the first night of a Florida to San Diego trip. Their facillity was the best I encountered on the trip. Antonia greeted me at the gate and was incredibly helpful. That night we had a tremendous all night storm but her barn kept my three horses dry and rested. I'd definitely recommend their farm to anyone.I also appreciated the good directions and easy access that was provided. Thanks.". . .(12/13/07) - "Outstanding facility and wonderful people. I am very careful where I stay with my client's horse(s) and this is by far one of my favorite places to have an overnight. I can't wait to go visit Antonia and Mario. They make you feel right at home. Annick Chappot-Look". . .(1/1/08) - "Antonia and Mario were outstanding hosts! Staying at their place was the best part of my trip.

Antonia has been wonderful to work with and the farm is immaculate! Mario and Antonia make you feel very much at home and are wonderful hosts. This is now a regular stop for me as I haul horses FL to/from CA several times a month. I highly recommend anyone looking for a place to layover in the area to stay at Ocean Breeze Farm!". . .(5/28/08) - "We arrived late (10:30pm). Antonia and Mario were very gracious; we unloaded the two horses and they settled right into their clean, prepared stalls. We stayed in their roomy comfortable guest room, got a good night's rest and were on our way early the next morning. Very well worth the price. Thank you both!". . .(7/5/08)- "I highly recommend Ocean Breeze Farm. Our host, Antonia, was most cordial. She attended to her business of overnight stabling /bed & dinner facility with enthusiasm and organization. Her farm is secure, clean and well maintained which continues on into the barn that has large stalls. Our horse settled in quickly. Antonia was in contact with me on the day we were to arrive and greeted us on the driveway. We enjoyed the evening with her family, the delicious dinner she served, our overnight stay in her guest room and the continental style breakfast. We will definitely stay again when traveling this direction. A great experience for our family. Shanda Wallin". . .(7/9/08) - "Antonia, Mario and family are a delite!. I would go out of my way to stay at their facility again. I was ill when we arrived and Antonia knew just what to do. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with their family as well.
