Perfect location. So much better than a hotel.
Exceptionally equipped with any amenity you could imagine. Very comfortable. Would definitely book again if we were in Ocala. Thanks, Jill, for being an awesome host.
Perfect walking distance to city center. Great place to stay! Clean, cute, and cozy. Would definitely book again!
Quiet and good location
Great stay! Close to downtown. We’ll definitely stay longer next time.
Thank you!
Property manager was very easy and quick to communicate .
Location was wonderful, so close to downtown. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
I am very satisfied with the accommodations at the apartment in the historic district in Ocala. The host was attentive and responsive. I found the photos to be accurate. The cost was very reasonable. I was comfortable and found the walk to downtown just right. Great experience.
Blue Heron was perfect for our stay in Ocala. From our home in Tampa we drove up for two nights to visit Ocala for our first time. We ate out out for all our meals. The historic-district apartment was fine for this. Easy parking. Easy trip to city-center restaurants. We are both 80+ and got along fine. No staircases!
This is an excellent place to stay, the area us a very nice historic district very near downtown. Had a wonderful stay thank you
Stayed while seeing Silver Springs and other attractions in the area
Simple, easy, clean. Easy check-in and check out. Parking is very close. Nice touches like water and eggs in the fridge. Great location, walkable to downtown sites. Bedroom has unusual noises. They have a noise maker but bring ear plugs for light sleepers. Would stay again.
Comfortable, nicely furnished on a quiet street. Very conveniently located close to the downtown square and easy to find routes from here to avoid traffic to get around Ocala.Highly recommended and will try to stay here again on our next visit to Ocala.
This was a great little spot and very affordable. It’s within walking distance of the Ocala city square where’s there’s great dining and cute little stores. Maybe a 10 minute drive to Silver Springs too! Super easy to check in and out and nice and quiet. Definitely a nice little VRBO. The host was super easy to work with. Looking forward to coming back.
Nice neighborhood, clean place. Furniture dated but clean. Better for just 2 people since only 1 TV in living room.
We loved this rental! Jill was very welcoming and we felt very comfortable contacting her about our needs. The location was central to our activities. It was a safe neighborhood. The rental was clean and had a great place to grill and eat outside. Jill also welcomed our little dog . We will definitely be returning to this lovely home. Thank you, Jill. Mark and Kathy
Loved this location. It’s close to downtown and the manager is easy to communicate with. The building is stellar and comfortable and I am going to try and stay here every time I come back to town.
This is a clean, cozy, charming apartment in the historic district of Ocala. We felt right at home here. We could walk to the downtown square and restaurants. We highly recommend this property and would love to stay there again!
I stayed here with a friend as we wanted to go hang out at the springs for the weekend. The location of this place was fantastic, about 4 minutes by car to any of the things we wanted to do in town. 12 minutes by car to the springs. We were able to each have a bed due to the pullout couch and the bedroom. The outside, private deck space was much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.
Enjoyed our stay. Hope to visit again.
I really liked staying here except for the barking dogs next door. Great neighborhood, close to everything. Jill was very nice and helpful.
