Everything was great for our visit. We had a 20 foot trailer and several vehicles so the only thing that would have been nicer was if the driveway was a little wider. Also an actual heated pool with a privacy screen would have been nice but I know that's a lot to ask for. Overall it was def a great place to stay and I would def recommend it!

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy Ocala home during our son’s baseball tournament. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing few days. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, it was the perfect size for our family of three plus our older son’s girlfriend.The backyard pool was such a bonus — peaceful and perfect for cooling off after long days at the ballpark. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet, and the location was convenient to restaurants, stores, and tournament fields.One of the best parts of our stay was the communication with our host, Tori. She was an absolute pleasure to work with — kind, responsive, and so easy to talk to. From booking to checkout, everything was smooth and stress-free thanks to her.We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the area.

We were in Ocala for a swim meet at Florida Aquatics Swimming and Training, so rented this home because it was the closest we could find to that venue. It far surpassed our hopes for a place to relax and recover between swim meets! The home is spacious, tastefully decorated, the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals, and the pool area was like a quiet retreat. The neighborhood is beautiful and great for walking/running, and our hosts were communicative and hospitable. Our stay in this home was one of the best we’ve had, and we would certainly stay again if in town for another meet.

Thanksgiving Blessings

When we walked in the front door, this place felt like home. Tori pays close attention to details, like the sitting room in the back. That coffee table was perfect for playing games and puzzles with our Grandsons. The boys really like the Snoopy-themed bedroom. The yard was very well kept, we loved the Oak tress & Spanish moss. Beautiful!

Meets Your Needs!

We had booked this property, specifically looking for a heated pool for the kids, since we wouldn't be close to the beach this time. The pool was a bit chilly for us (solar heated but the kids didn't care and if you're not from Florida don't expect private pools to be heated 80+ degrees that costs big $$ down here!) but we expected it to be chilly due to the cool nights/mornings and it rained a good bit the first night/day- no fault of the host by any means and it was clean!! The house is very spacious and has a well equipped kitchen if you're plan to stay in and cook! The grill is in good working order. I wasn't sold entirely on the beds and the master bed could use a new mattress in the near future. The twin beds were decorated in a cute Snoopy theme but the metal frames will need replaced or maybe tightened up- especially if adults plan to sleep on them. The front bedroom was also a king and comfortable. There are a lot of extra pillows if needed in the closets!! The neighborhood is quiet and traffic is slow enough to ride bikes, run or take walks. Communication was great with our host as we had some questions and received quick answers and results! The house is clean and has a "lived in feel" that gives off cozy vibes! We enjoyed movie nights on the couch with all the extra fuzzy blankets. There is shampoo, conditioner and body wash for the bathrooms and appreciated the plethora of towels and the make-up towels! There are extra pool towels to use and bring your own dive
