It had what we needed: full kitchen, 2 bedrooms and near relatives.
Our second stay at this location and it was just as wonderful as the our first. As before, it exceeded our expectations. Excellent accommodations, great host, perfect location for our needs. We’ve already booked our next visit and this is our new “go to” spot for any visit to the Ocala area.
My wife and i enjoying our stay at the facility. The kitchens was well supplied with cooking utensils and other cooking equipment, the bathroom clean and without any problems, bed were adequate size with nice size closets, the living area spacious and comfortable. The condo/apartment was located in an area close to businesses, supermarkets, shopping facilities, hospitals, the post office, banks and The Ocala Market. Overall, it was easy to travel to places by car. We would consider returning there.
Stayed for 3 nights for an event at WEC, which is about a 15 minute drive from the apartment. Apartment was very clean with many stores and restaurants nearby. Host was easy to reach and promptly answered questions. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in town.
Property was well kept. Amenities were good.
Location was good for me because I have friends in several locations in Ocala. I was also back and forth for 4 days to WEC (World Equestrian Center). Easy directions to WEC.
Had never been to central Florida before but we will definitely be back! Loved the quietness and variety of the area. So much to see and do within no more than an hour drive. Very responsive host, the few minor issues were answered almost immediately. Loved the organization and labeling on all needful items.
Denise always responded accurately and in a timely manner. Her recommendations were helpful in finding things I wanted in the area. The place itself matched the photos and had the listed ammendities. The ammendities such as kitchen appliances and a washing machine made traveling easy. The apartment was tidy and comfortable. Outside of Ocala, there are lot of springs and nature activities. Gainsville is a 45 minute drive away, which is convenient. I would stay here again.
Very clean with really nice decor. Had a hard time finding a nice place to stay for the weekend so we're very thankful to have come across this! It's nice how close it is to downtown.
Clean, spacious, stocked and centrally located. This rental checks all the boxes excellent owner, great communication highly recommended.

This property was perfect in every way - clean, cute, fully stocked. Owner went out of her way to provide amenities for our toddler as well. 5 stars all around!
This property is super cute and clean, very impressed with the thought that went into this stay, special touches down to having some hair products in the bathroom and soap and shampoo. The energy that went into making this VRBO feel cozy and comfortable was much appreciated. I would recommend to anyone staying in the area. Safe and convenient!

Little extras that only a caring owner would provide.
The place was clean and fresh. Location convenient to everything Ocala. 4 star on check in only because I went to the wrong unit at first. Probably my fault as I could have called to get the info I needed. Loved the ease of checkout.
Love the place. It’s Perfect. Denise is an excellent host with excellent communication.
Denise has all kind of nice little details all over the apartment. For example, she has 2 types of coffee machines (love it), USB chargers everywhere, etc., etc.
Also, plenty of free parking in the property.
Highly recommend this place and host.
Thank you Denise :-)
