Jill was wonderful to work with. Somehow VRBO created my reservation for 2026 instead of 2025. I never noticed until the night before we were to check in.I messaged Jill right away and she figured it all out for us. The apartment is in the perfect location to get downtown. It's easy walking or driving. Magnolia had everything we could want inside. We've got family in town so we will be back again.

Fantastic place to stay

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.

Clean but not worth the price

Nice inside but wont stay here again.-black mold in the shower. Also barely had enough time to wash my hair and shave before water went ice cold- unit was hard to find and poorly marked -keypad to unit didnt work well-Heat didnt work well-every outlet had glade plugins that were overwhelmomg along witj an aroma therapy machine-tv didnt work well-clogged shower drainage -No checkout instructions- shared laundry unit that was somewhere outside and for our stay we couldnt use it bc of assigned times. -no directions of where to take trash or what to do with itCaught the unit on sale but even then it wasnt worth the cost. No extra linen we could find and it was hard to heat the unit without turning the heat up high, then it got too hot and we had to tuen the a.c back on to cool it off. We couldnt get a comfortable temp.
