    The house was perfect, 10 minutes to WEC, and we really enjoyed our stay. Its spacious and very comfortable with nice sofa's, good quality beds and a huge back yard. The host had set up the Christmas decorations which were very pretty. She was also very responsive when I called for some help with directions and the entry code.

    Excellent location for our needs and comfortable for 5 adults and one child. Kitchen better equipped than many vacation rentals. Slow internet the downside.

    The house is large and spacious, and although it’s in the middle of no where, the drive is beautiful and the kids loved seeing all the horses around the property. The cleanliness of house was disappointing however. But we appreciated the well stocked laundry room! Thanks for hosting!

    The kitchen is well stocked even though we only made dinner twice. Easy to find things. Beds are comfy. HVAC worked great. Very clean I love always having white towels and sheets so you know they’re clean. Washer and dryer is full size and nice. Nothing was missing. Quiet surrounding. WiFi is a little weak. If you wash your hair daily don’t stay in the master - however the closet is amazing!

    Incredible house to stay for horse shows, especially winter shows with the soaking tub and Fireplace. It also had fun games and entertainment. Only thing is that the internet was very slow. Otherwise it was incredible and hosts were amazing!

    We recently stayed at Swift Strides in Ocala, Florida, and it was a fantastic experience! My husband, a friend, and I were in town for a dog show, and this location proved to be incredibly convenient—not only for the Ocala Kennel Club dog show site but also for visiting downtown and the World Equestrian Center.The property was just as advertised on VRBO, with pictures that perfectly matched the reality, which is always a relief! There was plenty of space for the three of us, and the house offered all the comforts of home. It was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the living space was perfect for relaxing after long days at the show.Check-in was a breeze, and Pam, the owner, was exceptionally responsive and accommodating. She made sure we had everything we needed and answered any questions we had promptly.For anyone attending events in Ocala or just looking for a great place to stay, I highly recommend Swift Strides. It truly felt like a home away from home. Thank you, Pam, for such a pleasant stay!

    House is well maintained and ready for your visit. We felt at home which is hard to come by when you are on the road most of the year. Will be back!

    Beautiful, clean home just as described in the pictures. The grounds were very well kept and the view of the horse's was so peaceful every day. Very quiet place, home was spacious and all up to date appliances. King bed was very confy, sun room was a pleasure every day and Ms Pacman was quite addicting!!! Went to Butterfly Rainforrest in Gainesville and to Rainbow Springs. Nice, scenic roads winding through the horse ranches and by the World Equestrian Center. Thank you for a wonderful 4 nights!!

    The house has a great layout for multiple adult guests with 2 living spaces, kitchen and dining table. The host left anything you would need, included the always forgotten items (toothpaste, mouthwash and disposable razor) in both bathrooms. We had dark washcloths for makeup removal, coffee k-cups, sugar and some microwave popcorn. Plenty of dishes and good quality pots and pans. Will definitely stay again!

    Such an amazing home with all the comforts included. Home was clean, inviting, open floor plan, kitchen amenities and beautiful property with surrounding horse farms, pastures and trees for lots of shade. Catherine is a fantastic host, emails and texts with perfect check in and door code instructions, making sure everything was good after our arrival and a text with clear information on check out day. She’s a very caring and kind host. We’ve already booked our next Ocala getaway in her home.
