My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of space and everything was very clean. What I really enjoyed was the quiet neighborhood. We'd recommend to anyone who plans a trip to the area.
Great location with lots of outdoor patio space. It was an easy walk downtown to have dinner and drinks. We would absolutely stay here again when the need arises.
we really enjoyed staying for our two nights in Ocala. Everything was provided and easy access and check out process. Extremely clean bed was very comfortable! The location was perfect.
This property was great: friendly & accessible host, clean & comfortable unit, close to Historic Square & restaurants. Lots to do in the area. I am staying in another one of the host’s units next year! I give this property 5 stars!!!
We are in Ocala house hunting and selected this location to be near downtown. It was soooo much better than a hotel, convenient and gave us a feel for being in the neighborhood.
We had one small issue that could not have been rectified quicker! It was a lovely stay. Love the back and front patio! We played corn hole. We felt very comfortable. Excellent location. Host is super friendly, and super nice! Will be back. Highly recommended!
We stayed here 3 weeks ago on our way thru traveling to a job and came back on our way home. Much better than a hotel stay. Keep up with the at home feeling, cleanliness and pricing. It all matters.
This is a very lovely space, exactly as pictured. Everything was clean and comfortable. Very nice, quiet and safe neighborhood. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Would recommend to family and friends and would stay here again. Thank you!
I booked this for my wife and I while our son was at a nearby summer camp. The accommodations were perfect for us. The kitchen was clean and modern and the bathroom was very clean. The bed was comfortable and the apartment was very quiet. We will return to this location and stay with them again in the future as it's only about 1.5 hours from us. Also, it's walking distance to a quaint downtown square where there were a few good restaurants.
Little confusion in the beginning ref. incorrect information but it got worked out. Loved the rental. The bed was cozie and the shower was hugh with 3 shower heads. Clean kitchen and no bad odors. Close to the square. I would stay again for sure. Thanks, L
Such a beautiful property with cute apartments (they use to be artists galleries)
The owners were wonderful and gave us all the information before we got there during our stressful drive from escaping the hurricane.
Could not of asked for a better place to stay.
We love you so much. We’re going back in two weeks for my husband’s birthday so we can take the glass bottom boat tour and explore the town of Ocala more.
We were only a few blocks from downtown. We ate at bricks, which was exceptionally good. We’re going to try a couple more restaurants in the next few weeks when we return.
If you want a great place to stay in Ocala, this is it and book early because I think they fill up pretty quickly.
Convenient, attractive downtown location for walking. The bed was comfortable and the shower was fantastic. The floodlights were annoying. The rooms were broken up in an awkward manner. The furniture was totally wrong for us seniors: high table and chairs, a sofa that put us so far down that it was nearly impossible to get up. The "smart" television was too tricky to navigate. All we needed were the basic channels.
We came up here for a four day stay. The host was fantastic. She was very quick to reply, was responsive to questions and very helpful. The listing and photos of the inside were 100% accurate. Parking was very convenient and well lit. The apartment was very clean, well kept up, and well stocked with whatever you would need. The listing was very accurate. It had extra towels and sheets and blankets, shampoo and blow dryer in the bathroom. The kitchen had cooking supplies, including pans, utensils, and oil. Everything worked well. The barbecue was a bonus and we did use it. Time spent here was very quiet and relaxing. We didn’t have time to enjoy the private patio off the bedroom, but it was very clean and charming. I would definitely stay here again when we come back to Ocala next year or sooner hopefully. I definitely recommend this place and this owner.
The place was absolutely amazing. The hosts were extremely nice. The location was nicely situated in the middle of Ocala in a wonderful neighborhood. Great place to stay. Plus the outdoor courtyard was very relaxing w cornhole boards as a nice extra!!!Absolutely recommend!
