Two week stay
Great house and easy with the dogs! Easy drive to WEC, beds were comfortable and house was accommodating! Quiet neighborhood and absolutely loved the back yard for my dogs. Will stay here again!
I can’t say enough nice things about this little house. I came into town to show at WEC for a few weeks it was about 20 min to the show grounds and really kind of nice to not stay right on top of the show grounds. Access to great restaurants and a very nice Publix. Comfortable bed, well appointed kitchen, and a terri Little backyard in which i enjoyed playing with my dog after the show day was over. Owner is a great host and communicator. I can’t wait to come back next year.
Nice place for what we needed! We were there for volleyball tournament and nice to be able to wash clothes and have space to chill. And great space for dogs.
Very nice place, located near springs and world equestrian center.
Very good location for spring hopping, and the world equestrian center being close by was a real treat! House was very nice and the AC worked excellent!
The host went above and beyond with sticking the house with essentials. The house was immaculate and well appointed. The location was terrific. The downtown area has wonderful restaurants and charming center. Highly recommend the home.
We enjoyed our stay in this house. If a handyman spent a couple of days fixing the little things that were broken and got everything in working order, it would have been perfect.
Clean and cozy house! Great location. It was only a few minutes to restaurants and coffee shops as well as the springs. The owners were very easy to work with and communicated well. I would highly recommend it to others!
My daughter, her two children, and I spent a comfortable week in what we called our “cottage.” The location was close to downtown Ocala. We appreciated the children’s books and games. The kitchen was easy tol use.
The only drawbacks were the dusty porch and mosquitoes in the carport which we reported to the owner. Otherwise it was perfect.
The house is well represented online despite some reviews that say otherwise. The fenced backyard wasn't great for us because the neighbors also have dogs. So we used the front yard and it worked out fine. The neighborhood has a few less than ideal homes but all in all it is fine. We had no issues and found the neighbors we saw to be friendly and welcoming. The host was absolutely great to work with! They were super helpful and as accommodating as they were able to be.
Host was welcoming with great communication. House was spotless. We liked the open floor plan. Covered eating area next to pool. Pool was comfortable 82 degrees which was great for December. Pet-friendly secure yard with high fence for privacy.
We had an outstanding experience. Stayed here while visiting family over Thanksgiving who live about 0.75 miles away. Home was great, clean, had plenty of amenities (coffee pot/coffee press!), board games. Would recommend and would definitely stay again if in need of a place close to the downtown/historic area of Ocala.
This property is beautiful and cozy and it is in a great location. The home was very clean and had everything that we needed to relax and enjoy our time together! I would highly recommend this property, we will stay here again!
