I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, but, we are sorry we were not able to accommodate the additional day you requested. Batteries do wear out even though we replace them routinely, which is why we keep extra batteries under the sink. Sorry for any inconvenience

About the host

Hosted by Jill

Host profile image
In 2021 I purchased the Historic Martin 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 parking, a kitchen, living room, bathroom, large bedroom, deck and shared pool deck all steps from downtown.
