The house and pool deck area worked perfectly for our needs.. the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, the hosts very attentive and we plan on renting it again when next Ocala event comes up next year
Responsive hosts and a great location, and excellent for the price. Time and weather kept us from checking out some of the amenities, but the pool looked lovely! Good sized kitchen and enough space for 3 of us to sit comfortably. The bathroom is small in size, but the shower is great. All in all, really hard to beat it for the price!

Beautiful accommodations in a historical district. Apartment was gorgeous on the inside. Very quiet neighborhood. Halloween night was a little hectic with all the little munchkins but the rest of the stay was perfect.

Thank you for the kind words Wanda, enjoyed having you.
My teen daughters and I were so pleased with this apartment. It was clean, comfortable, furnished, very reasonably priced. After bad experiences at hotels in the past, I prefer a pleasant stay such as this.

Thanks so much for the nice review! Please come back anytime!
This is a very beautifully designed apartment, with a gorgeous kitchen and lovely master bedroom. It’s in a very good location, with a pool and walking distance to many restaurants.
Jill’s place is cute, clean, and in a great location. We enjoyed the little touches like the fresh eggs, extra towels, and toiletries. We would stay again!
This was our 4th stay at this property. It is always so peaceful, never disappoints. Property is clean and very well kept and the owners are very sweet. See them from time to time and they are extremely good with communication. Highly recommend!!!!

Very quaint place. Location was great, close walk to downtown. Lots of shopping choices within a 15 minute drive. Also some nice antique stores reasonably close. The unit was very well equipped and the host gave us all the info we needed for our trip. Would definitely come back the next time we are up this way.

Thank you so much for the review Dawn, We really appreciate it. Hope to see you back next year
The house was just right for the 2 of us. Situated in the historical district makes the neighborhood interesting to walk around. Easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants. The grill on the back patio was nice, but, at this time of year the pool was cold. Overall highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Jill
In 2021 I purchased the Historic Martin house in downtown Ocala. After months of renovation, I opened it up for guests to enjoy. I have been in the rental industry for years, and always look to have happy guests. Thank you for considering the property.
Why they chose this property
The historic district is full of charm and character. I love to walk a few minutes downtown to eat at the wonderful restaurants, shop in the boutiques and listen to live music. The architecture of each home is completely different than the next making for an interesting eclectic collection of homes.
What makes this property unique
The suite is a great value located in a great downtown historic neighborhood. Guests have private parking, a large kitchen, living room, bathroom, large bedroom, private deck and shared pool deck all steps from downtown.
