Swim meet getaway

This property was an ideal location in proximity to FAST pool located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. The property manager was extremely responsive and accommodating. The house had everything you need and then some. It was a fantastic place to relax in between all the swimming sessions. I would definitely recommend and stay here again.

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.

UF Graduation Trip

We were visiting to go to my masters graduation at UF in Gainesville. This was the perfect location for us halfway between Gainesville and the Orlando airport. We loved the house and the pool was clean and warm! Definitely would recommend for anyone looking to stay in the Ocala area. El Toreo was also a great dinner spot!

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.

Tori was wonderful to work with. She is genuinely concerned for the comfort of her guests. The home was clean and had extra little touches some owners don’t always think of. I actually reached out to her praising the cleanliness of the home. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
