Excellent stay in Ocala

We had an amazing stay at this property! The location couldn't be better—just a short drive to Silver Springs and surrounded by beautiful outdoor activities. The house was clean, well-equipped, and very comfortable for our family. We loved the spacious front patio and the lovely pool for evening relaxation. Truly recommend this gem when visiting Ocala.

Clean, comfortable and fun

My stay was perfect! Super clean, the house was very organized and easy to access cookware and dishes. Even had little shampoos, and washclothes were made into cute little shells. Had a nice little gate outside for added sense of security! Perfect for my family!

Beautiful Ocala home

We enjoyed our stay at the Ocala Retreat home. The house was easy to access and in a beautiful tree-line area of Ocala. Pool was clean and warm and screened-in patio area was especially enjoyable. We will definitely stay again when in the Ocala area. Recommend bringing your own toiletries, hair dryer, trash bags, dishwashing pods, laundry pods as these items are not provided. Otherwise, kitchen items were stocked and there were plenty of towels in both bathrooms.

The property is conveniently located by Publix. There is also a large selection of nearby food options. The rooms were all a good size. The multiple living areas is perfect for families with different interests. House was super clean. It would have been nice to have some extra blankets for tv time. Only thing I would change is the grill. Slightly disappointed it was a charcoal grill versus a gas grill.

Ocala Wedding

When we checked in the dirty towels and linens were in a pile on the floor and the beds were unmade. We called the property manager and she was very apologetic - apparently the cleaning service had not come yet which she said never happens. We went out for dinner and everything was very clean when we got back.The house and pool were wonderful.

Another thing to be thankful for this year!

We booked the house for Thanksgiving week. It was a strange year for us - my grandmother passed away & it meant a very different Thanksgiving since we've always spent it at her house. We decided to spend it away from everything and it ended up being a wonderful week! The house had everything we needed & is so charming & comfortable. Even though the weather was too cold for swimming, there was still something magical about that pool area and I spent a lot of time out there with my little dog. The house really has everything we look for & my bed was possibly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on in a vacation rental. Very nice area, very nice yard space for the dog. They even provided coffee pods & sugar, so we didn't have to rush out to the grocery store for that first morning there! 5 stars all around!
