Birthday Surprise

My best friend of many years came to celebrate her birthday with us. At the last minute we decided to try this amazing property (I am new to the area, so I was interested, too). It was all we needed and more! The extra touches of bakery, water, and eggs were appreciated. It was overall a very enjoyable few days!

Cute apartment in Ocala

The apartment is in the historical district, close to downtown Ocala. Parking was right in front and no stairs. It has a cute little living room and kitchenette. The AC worked great and the bed was comfy. The place was perfect for two of us for our two-night stay. Four farm-fresh eggs were provided in the fridge.

Beautiful Pet Friendly Property in Ocala

This was a beautiful property. The hosts were very gracious, and the property was lovely. They even left farm fresh eggs in the fridge, they were so thoughtful and kind. The shower in this suite is fantastic; it has a pebbled floor and a rainfall showerhead. Everything is close, it is only 60 miles to Daytona and very close to Silver Springs and Juniper Springs. Best of all, my best friend was welcome.
