The space was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything needed for a relaxing weekend.The check-in process was smooth, communication with the host was easy, and the atmosphere felt welcoming from the moment I walked in. It was the perfect home base for exploring Ocala without spending a fortune.Highly recommend for solo travelers or a girlfriends’ weekend trip which is what this was for us. I’d happily stay again!

Cozy little place, perfect for one person or a couple. It has everything you need. Located in a quiet neighborhood right across from an elementary school, 15 minutes away from World Equestrian Center. If you are looking for a place to sleep comfortable and the next morning take a shower and get ready to go, this is for you.

I am elderly with low vision which is almost blind. And yes they do let us drive lol. At any rate the place I stayed at was clean and neat as a pin. It was located 30 minutes from where I met up with my family.. I drive using Waze especially if I drive at night which is rare. When I tried going to the home at night Waze malfunctioned and kept telling me I was at the right place even when I wasn't. I contacted VRBO finally and my host and they helped me find my way in. The host even helped park my car. This home was typical of a home built in the 50s. I live in one currently. It felt relaxing and most pleasant. The photos are good ones of how the house actually looks. It has a nice patio for sitting outside. The neighborhood is typical of old Florida and was quiet. Didn't take pictures because I didn't know I could. I would definitely stay with Kari again!!
