About the host
Hosted by Jill
In 2019 I purchased the Historic Kemp house in downtown Ocala. After months of renovation, I opened it up for guests to enjoy. I have been in the rental industry for years, and always look to have happy guests. Thank you for considering the property.
Why they chose this property
The historic district is full of charm and character. I love to walk a few minutes downtown to eat at the wonderful restaurants, shop in the boutiques and listen to live music. The architecture of each home is completely different than the next making for an interesting eclectic collection of homes.
What makes this property unique
The suite is a great value located in a great downtown historic neighborhood. Guests have private parking, their own front outdoor sitting area, private entrance, bathroom, bedroom, living room/kitchen/ dining area, and private deck and a grill.
