From the moment we arrived, it felt less like a rental and more like a beautifully designed home created by someone who truly understands hospitality. Every detail was thoughtful — stylish décor, comfortable spaces, a well-equipped kitchen and coffee bar, and an absolutely spotless home.The backyard was our favorite part — perfect for morning coffee, evenings by the fire pit, playing with dogs and relaxing after exploring World Equestrian Center and everything Ocala has to offer. The location is peaceful, private, and incredibly convenient.Most importantly, the hosts were fantastic: kind, responsive, and clearly passionate about creating an unforgettable stay. If you see availability, book it — this is the kind of place people will return to again and again.

I’m Cindy! My husband and I are commercial horse transporters and we travel the entire country delivering horses, and other four legged pets, to their new homes. We love exploring this beautiful country and meeting new people.

Why they chose this property

We spend quite a bit of time in Florida for work and absolutely love the Ocala area. We decided to purchase a house there so we would have a landing zone for our down time. When we aren’t in town we love sharing it with others. We put quite a bit of love and effort into preparing it for our guests. We hope you will enjoy your stay!

What makes this property unique

We tried to think of everything! The house is very well equipped with just about anything you may need! Everything in the house is high quality and brand new. We want to you to relax during your vacation and not have to worry. Stay and enjoy!!!!
