Great spot!

Clean pool, house was nice! Only upgrade I’d recommend is to up the size of the queen bed. Felt smaller than a queen. And be careful of fire ants. Wild life was great though! Thank you!

Nice house at a great price.

My husband and I came to Ocala for the weekend to visit his brother. We found this house that was just a mile away. The location was also close to shops and restaurants, and not far from downtown Ocala. The house was clean and had everything we needed.

Perfect!

The home was just perfect; very clean, well appointed, wonderfully decorated. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. We honestly couldn't ask for anything more in a home rental. The owner, Tori, is the perfect host! She was super-quick to respond to any questions we had. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Tori

Host profile image
As seasoned travelers, we grew weary of renting homes that lacked essential amenities. It was frustrating to spend our vacation time shopping for basics like food storage containers, baggies, soaps, or aluminum foil. Therefore, in 2020, we bought our first property in Ocala to create a genuine "home away from home" for our guests. We acquired another home in 2022 and are now in search of a third. We've fallen in love with Ocala and believe you will too!

Why they chose this property

The property is situated in a tranquil neighborhood and is also near SR200, where you can find everything you need.

What makes this property unique

Close to shopping, restaurants and only 20 minutes from downtown Ocala!
Large private yard in a quiet neighborhood.
