Denise is fantastic to work with!!

Short stay to attend activities at UF. Convenient location, with a very clean and aesthetically pleasing decor. Beds were really comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. The unit looked and smelled the way you would want when staying away from home - perfect! Close to all the necessities.... Will definitely be staying again.

The unit was absolutely as described. if staying in the Ocala area you could not find a better place to stay. Communication with host was flawless.

Convenient and Comfortable - A Great Place to Stay in Ocala

I had a great stay at this property while in Ocala for a business trip. The location was incredibly convenient—close to main roads for easy access but set back enough to be quiet. It was also a quick and easy drive to both downtown and my work location. The space itself was bright, spacious, and very well-appointed with everything I needed. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean, and the AC worked perfectly (which isn’t always a given!). Plenty of parking. No onerous "check out" tasks. :-) Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be looking to book here again in the future.

Exactly as pictured

Great option for me and my family. Very clean with a lot of thoughtful extras like K-pods, detergent pods, basket of extra toiletries, etc. Easy access to 43rd to take us to 200 so we could visit my mom at On Top of the World. The neighborhood was quiet and close to lots of downtown stores and restaurants.

Denise, our host thought of everything. We had coffee and laundry detergent already there for our trip. She even had makeup wipes and qtips. There were extra blankets and an entire desk area to get work done. I locked myself out of the apartment and within minutes Denise had me back inside!
