Great spot!

Clean pool, house was nice! Only upgrade I’d recommend is to up the size of the queen bed. Felt smaller than a queen. And be careful of fire ants. Wild life was great though! Thank you!

Awesome house

This was the best VRBO rental we have stayed at. It was stocked with quality amenities and basic supplies. Tori was always responsive for info but we had zero problems with the house. The house was very well decorated. Pool was great. Location served us very well. We went to U of F, WEC, Silver Springs, Ocala national forest and universal studios. Downtown Ocala is very charming. Restaurants are close by and delivery also available. I would highly recommend this property.

A Beautiful Place

We stayed there for almost a month and had a wonderful time. The house is beautifully decorated and well supplied. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. It was the nicest VRBO that we have stayed in. Tori was great at communicating and was quick to respond to any request. When we were there we didn't have anyone next door so the place felt very private. The only slightly negative thing about the house is that it is in a well established neighborhood and not all of the neighbors kept their places up. Most of the places are real nice, just not all of them. If you are expecting a perfectly manicured HOA type of environment, that isn't the case.

Wonderful experience!!

The house is really really nice and super clean! Tori was a wonderful host and was so prompt with responses and was flexible with us when we had to make some changes to dates and etc. This is the most accommodating VRBO I have stayed at! They supplied soap and shampoo and conditioner and laundry soap and dryer sheets and she had everything so neatly labeled. All the beds were super comfortable including the bunk beds!! She gave plenty of towels and other necessities! We felt very comfortable staying here! Located close to stores and every thing you need! We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Ocala!

Nice house at a great price.

My husband and I came to Ocala for the weekend to visit his brother. We found this house that was just a mile away. The location was also close to shops and restaurants, and not far from downtown Ocala. The house was clean and had everything we needed.

Just like home

The home is beautiful. The neighborhood quiet. There was a lot of attention to detail. Extras like bubbles for the kids, pool toys coloring books. It was so nice to have Kerig pods and coffee available and condiments to go with coffee. Just a lot of extras. 😀. I would recommend if you want a relaxing time with family.

Wonderful in every way!!!

This home is exactly as it's presented in the pics & descriptions... such a beautiful property that's well taken care of & so many details that give it the best "home away from home" vibe. Very well stocked/accommodating for anything you may need/want. The only thing better than our stay here is the absolute top tier response & overall service given by Tori before, during, & even after our stay!! The only negative about our experience is that we actually had to leave!! We will definitely be back & will absolutely suggest this property to our friends & family. If only every experience could be this way!!

Ocala Stay

This property is one of the well-decorated and fully stocked places we’ve stayed in for a family vacation rental. It is very clean and comfortable and feels very much like home. The grill is clean and convenient to use. There are board games and pool items that our children were able to enjoy. We had nice meals at the formal dining area and more than enough kitchen items to help us prepare them. We felt at home as soon as we walked into the house. I wish we had the time to ride the bikes. Tori, the host, was wonderful and quick to respond to our messages. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

About the host

Hosted by Tori

Host profile image
As seasoned travelers, we grew weary of renting homes that lacked essential amenities. It was frustrating to spend our vacation time shopping for basics like food storage containers, baggies, soaps, or aluminum foil. Therefore, in 2020, we bought our first property in Ocala to create a genuine "home away from home" for our guests. We acquired another home in 2022 and are now in search of a third. We've fallen in love with Ocala and believe you will too!

Why they chose this property

The property is situated in a tranquil neighborhood and is also near SR200, where you can find everything you need.

What makes this property unique

Close to shopping, restaurants and only 20 minutes from downtown Ocala!
Large private yard in a quiet neighborhood.
