Location was perfect for the wedding venue we were attending. Close proximity to grocery and restaurants. Home was spacious well equipped and pool was a huge bonus. Neighborhood was quiet and safe. We will definitely stay again when in the area if available.
The pool was a refreshing temperature with the screened in porch. It made for a relaxing stay!

Great Property
We stayed at the home in October during Hurricane Milton. It was clean, very comfortable and the property manager, Kelly was amazing. Highly recommend.
We vacationed with another couple to visit friends in Ocala. Excellent setup with each couple having their own side of the house including a bathroom. Beds were very comfortable, everything we needed was there and the wifi was extremely fast. Host was very easy to get a hold of.
The neighborhood was nice and quite. Close to many places that one can travel to for entertainment. Local restaurants and shopping are kinda far. Have to go to Ocala most times, about ten miles. Took a day trip to Orlando.
We enjoyed our stay! Beds and linens were fresh, there was a full service kitchen with an abundance of spices, and a pool!
The pool is located under some trees so there is natural debri in the water. Overall a comfy place with everything you need, for your stay! Also the property manager was responsive and helpful! Recommend!
Great property just like listing. Super quiet neighborhood. Centerally located. House was more than spacious and inviting. Outdoor space was my favorite and private. Enjoyed our week!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
Not up to my cleaning standards. I dont believe the showers or floors/kitchen walls were cleaned before we arrived. Crumbs and small hairs everywhere. Zero communication with property manager despite multiple attempts before we even arrived. Washer was also full of crusted washcloths.

From the owner: “I’m very sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations. Cleanliness and guest satisfaction are top priorities for me, and I’ve shared this feedback with my property manager to ensure it doesn’t happen again. The home is now thoroughly rechecked before each stay to make sure everything is spotless and well-prepared for every guest. I truly appreciate your comments and the opportunity to improve.”
I love this location. I stood at this location just with my daughter. I felt extremely safe around this area. I loved seeing other children playing outside. The house was beautiful and the pool was amazing.

The house was nice and clean it needs few little thinks fix. The mattress was so comfortable we all commented the same in the morning.

Great property
Clean, quiet, comfortable, safe neighborhood. Down sides, hot water heater barely lasted through one shower, the icemaker didn’t work, no blankets, front door light bulb and master bedside lamp burned out w/no replacements, no nearby grocery store as Winn Dixie closed.
WiFi information was incorrect, we searched and found a router with the correct information.
I feel just a few updates and the property will be perfect. We enjoyed our stay!
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you soon! Thank you for being amazing guests!

Great house! Great host! Well equipped.
Our stay was great. The house was easy to access and clean upon entering. It was very well equipped with everything needed for our stay. The host was very responsive when I couldn’t figure out the WiFi password because I wasn’t looking in the right spot. I would recommend this home to anyone for a great stay. My 14 year old loved the private pool as well. Plenty of furniture to sit outside and enjoy. Would book again without hesitation. 5 stars all the way around.
Comfortable home in a nice neighborhood. Lots of room and a refreshing pool. Not too far from town and the interstate, so it is easy to get around. There is a Wyn-Dixie not far off and a dollar store. It was a pleasant stay in a clean relaxing home. The only criticism would be that basic cable would be nice instead of just internet tv, but that was minor as I don't watch tv much anyway.
