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.

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.

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.

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.

I highly recommend this spot. Perfect for me and my teenage son. The host is wonderful. Every time
I texted her, which was a lot, I got a response within 1 hour.
We were there for WEC so it’s a perfect location. Lots of traffic on the main streets but the apartment street was very quiet as was the complex itself .
Highly recommend it . Very reasonable price for what you get.

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!
