Just as advertised!

Very quaint place. Location was great, close walk to downtown. Lots of shopping choices within a 15 minute drive. Also some nice antique stores reasonably close. The unit was very well equipped and the host gave us all the info we needed for our trip. Would definitely come back the next time we are up this way.

Great location close to downtown

The house was just right for the 2 of us. Situated in the historical district makes the neighborhood interesting to walk around. Easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants. The grill on the back patio was nice, but, at this time of year the pool was cold. Overall highly recommend.

Wonderful 4-day stay

My teen daughters and I were so pleased with this apartment. It was clean, comfortable, furnished, very reasonably priced. After bad experiences at hotels in the past, I prefer a pleasant stay such as this.

Be back soon

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at this location. It may be my favorite spot ever, and we definitely will be back! We live about 2 hours away and came to Ocala to paddle Silver Springs for my birthday. I found this place and booked it. The pictures do not even do it justice, I was blown away, and the hosts have thought of EVERYTHING! We were going to go out for a nice dinner the night we stayed but liked the location so much we bought food to cook and stayed in. We can’t wait to come back and stay again.

Cute historic place near downtown

Our family rented both A and B units to accommodate grandparents, parents & kids. Both units are decorated in a cute coastal theme and have access to the pool (which our kids loved). The deck and outside areas were nice as well. The apartments/house is near downtown and not a far drive from Silver Springs. Would love to stay again if we are in the area!

Just Right

Great unit with nice little extras included. The location was fantastic; very safe neighborhood in historic downtown Ocala and an easy walk to a variety of great restaurants. The unit was clean, spacious, and there was a nice outdoor patio where we enjoyed our coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. We will look to renting again next time we are in town.

Lovely upgraded historical home

The home was beautiful, immaculately clean, and provided my friend and I a perfect place to stay close to where we needed to be. We didn’t have any time to enjoy the pool or deck but it was beautifully appointed. Highly recommend if you need a place to stay in Ocala.

About the host

Hosted by Jill

Host profile image
In 2021 I purchased the Historic Martin house in downtown Ocala. After months of renovation, I opened it up for guests to enjoy. I have been in the rental industry for years, and always look to have happy guests. Thank you for considering the property.

Why they chose this property

The historic district is full of charm and character. I love to walk a few minutes downtown to eat at the wonderful restaurants, shop in the boutiques and listen to live music. The architecture of each home is completely different than the next making for an interesting eclectic collection of homes.

What makes this property unique

The suite is a great value located in a great downtown historic neighborhood. Guests have private parking, a large kitchen, living room, bathroom, large bedroom, private deck and shared pool deck all steps from downtown.
