Great apartment with all the amenities we needed for a 4 night stay in Ocala. We were able to prepare meals and get a good night rest since the property was in a quiet area.Good restaurants close by for going out as well.

Great experience

We were looking for an apartment-type rental for 3 weeks in the Ocala area and the Downtown Retreats fit the bill. The apartment was sufficiently spacious and comfortable and stocked with the basics for our stay. We never heard noise from the other units, but you are near two hospitals and a nursing home so there were sirens, but not loud enough to be a bother. The several times I reached out to Denise, she replied right away. We will stay here again without hesitation when we return to the area. Thanks for a great stay!

Cozy Apartment

Very nice property and the host is super attentive and helpful! In a good location and quiet neighborhood, we didn’t even hear the other guests nor saw many of them. It was definitely a safe place for our family to hunker down during Hurricane Milton as we evacuated Tampa Bay Area. Bedrooms nicely decorated and comfy with lots of closet space (could use more hangers) as is the bathroom. Kitchen is somewhat stocked with useful items. Overall, it was a great place to stay!

Great place!

We came in from Utah to visit our family over the holidays. This was centrally located in Ocala and very easy to get everywhere. It was extremely clean, beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans. Denise was very responsive to all our questions.
