ok for a short stay

there is no working dishwasher, usually accessible washer/dryer and only a counter top oven (not full size).If there for more days or hoping to do any cooking would need a real oven, more cookware, and more silverware.

Perfect Spot for a Visit

This property was perfect for us! We have family we were visiting in the area and this home was a perfect place to retreat to at the end of the day. Everything was neat and clean when we arrived and while there was some patchwork in one of the bathrooms, this in no way detracted from the charm of the home. I loved how close to everything we were and the neighborhood felt safe. We would definitely stay in this location again!

Nice clean house, nothing fancy

The house was quite clean, beds were good. Could have been more towels and washclothes but Miguel brought us 4 more washclothes when I asked. Silverware should be updated. It is old and not much of it. Dishwasher was not useable, had a sign on it so must have been out for awhile. Lock on screen door on screen porch doesn't work. But two doors going into house from screen porch have good locks on them. Back yard is fenced with about 4' high kennel fence, suitable for dogs. House faces a round about but traffic noise was not a big problem. Would probably stay again. Host was very attentive to our needs and questions.

Very clean & great location

We came to kayak some of the local springs. This was perfectly located within 10 min to Silver Springs. We loved how spacious and clean the home was. Simple & comfortable- This fit our needs perfectly. Did I mention how clean it was? I had spilled water on the floor and wiped it up and my paper towel was clean.. that said a lot!

This home is centralized in Ocala which was easy for where we needed to be. A cute clean house right on a corner walking distance to the Veterans Memorial park.

Great and quaint getaway!

We stayed at this property to visit some family for the holidays in the Ocala area. Great and convenient location, it was clean and our dogs enjoyed the fenced backyard. Will stay again if I come back to the area.

Family visit

Location is nice and a quiet neighborhood. It was perfect for my wife and kids, 7 and under. Very clean and comfortable. Only complaints is the grass was a little tall and needed to be cut, and bed frame were a little bent which made the mattresses have dips and not level when laid on. Overall a nice clean place.

Rock the Country festival

There were Only two down sides to the property. The yard was way overgrown and should have been fresh cut! We saw a few roaches in the kitchen!

Great Place

We were down for a quick trip for a wedding. We lucked up on this rental. I would highly recommend this place. Very clean and the pictures do not do this place justice. The house is very large and is also pet friendly. The fenced backyard was great and we loved the sun porch. When we come back down again I hope this place is available so we can stay here again. The host answered any questions we had very quickly. If you are looking for a nice place, look no further you have found it.

Waiting to close on our new home

We stayed at this wonderful house while we were closing on our home and we’re thinking about returning just for the location. We have recommended this house to friends and family. The owner was on point with his communication, the property was everything as promised, and we enjoyed the fenced in backyard for our dogs!

Great location

The house had been updated and was really nice and VERY clean. I particularly liked how the bedroom had tables with lamps, providing a space for my iPhone and glasses. The bed was comfortable and the TV easy to use. I really liked the "guest" availability. Also pleased with ample electrical outlets. Great WiFi - strong signal - and loved the microwave. Nice size yard that is totally fenced it. The screened porch was a nice addition for letting the dogs “in and out” and a place to dry them off when coming "in" during the thunderstorm. I do wish there was a light at the door to the screened porch and a few security lights around the back of the house. I had to use a flashlight when going to the back yard at night and early in the morning with the dogs. The street in front of the house was busier than I expected, however, not an issue as the driveway is on a side street. The neighborhood was nice for walking and the neighbors friendly. Location was GREAT. Everything you could think of was within a couple miles from the house: Publix, restaurants, WAWA, RaceTrac, fast foods and so on. . .
