    Well kept, large space to move around in. Extremely clean and well kept. Farm fresh eggs from owner's farm in fridge. Well stocked for needed items like, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags. Coffee maker with filters. Suggestion, to make sure there is a way or clear understanding to turn off the pool/patio lights as they shine very brightly into Apt B at night.

    Was a very nice apartment in the old home. Was in the historical district so very safe and easy access to any events/shopping/restaurants. J.P. was always available for any questions/suggestions. Had a little trouble with the Induction cook top so l used the crock pot & air fryer that was there more. Maybe I'm just not used to Induction or more detailed instructions would help. Pool looks very inviting but I was there during record lows so I only took advantage of the many outdoor seating options. Overall very nice, would stay again.

    The host was quick to respond. The property was great. Community pool, Grill and fire-pit. We didnt use any of them but they looked like great areas and well maintained. They kepp the house a comfortable temperature but there is an electric fireplace in the bedroom and the living room. Plus a portable A/C. So we stayed at a comfortable temp at all times. It has a claw foot tub that my wife loved and soaked in a couple of times.It has 2 smart TV's but there is a lot to do in the Ocala area. There is a Publix in a strip mall about 4 mins from the property. Which has a Chinese restaurant, a pizzeria, a sub shop and a nail place for the girls. Plus other stores in that same area. The apartment was well furnished and maintained. Everything is there for you.If we ever go back to Ocala, this will be the place we will try to book again.

    This was one of the nicest stays I’ve had in a very long time. Where to begin….before you even arrive, the hosts are very responsive and helpful. If you leave a message they reply right away. The historic location is beautiful, large trees, and a fairly quiet neighborhood. If you wanted to walk or jog, it’s a perfect spot, and seemed close to downtown. Once at the property, you discover it is charming, welcoming and clean. They seem to have thought of everything! The kitchen is well-enough equipped for a couple or single. The bedroom is the highlight. It’s spacious, with lovely lighting, and cozy nooks for reading, relaxing or napping. The desk in the bay window is perfect for your computer and anything work-related you might need to take care of. The four poster bed is very comfortable and I honestly slept 12 hours, as deeply as I do at home. The clawfoot tub is charming! The bathroom is well lit and equipped with basics you will need. Outside spaces are shared but there is plenty of separate seating areas on the two decks. The pool is gorgeous! It’s screened in and so clean! I would have loved for it to be warm enough to go for a swim. Kids along for the trip would happily spend hours swimming and playing with the toys and inflatables. I would have loved to stay longer and the price seemed reasonable. I will definitely be back if I come this way again.

    This location was exactly as discribed. It was cozy and comfortable. Private, quiet and in a safe neighborhood. Pool was clean and right outside the door! Shower was very small and probably not handicap accessible. But the water was hot and there was a great showerhead (2 of them).Bed was soft and comfortable. Plenty of extra blankets, pillows and towels. There is surprising amount of storage for an old house. Thanks for breakfast, that was a nice touch.

    This was the perfect place to stay for my fiancée and I to get away for a weekend. The value in staying here versus a hotel or bnb was immense. The room is more like an apartment, and is absolutely beautiful. It’s located in the quiet and also beautiful historic district, and was the best choice we could make. I’ll definitely be staying here again to go to the springs and get away from Miami in the future.

    Normally we don't spend much time at our rentals because we are out visiting with family. However this time me and my girls got sick and spent a lot of time there. This was a great place and we enjoyed our time there. Very comfortable and they had everything you would need. We hope to stay there next time when it is warmer and we can enjoy the pool.

    Great location for couples that want to get away from the highways, crowds, and noise while remaining relatively close to shopping and restaurants. The apartment had all the amenities for a peaceful, relaxing stay. The pool looked very inviting but the temperature in late December is not warm enough to encourage a swim. We will stay there again
