Outstanding Rental and Host

I understand why Denise is a Premier host. VRBO had the wrong entry code so Denise made sure she got the correct one to me before she went to dinner. Her property was clean, and well equipped. Amazing attention to the details

PERFECT!

The property was perfect - clean, spacious, well-appointed, and very comfortable beds. The owners were very responsive, had great communication prior to and during the stay, and were extremely helpful. We are in Ocala on a somewhat regular basis and this will be our go-to property moving forward.

Good location

Place is as pictured. Good location and host is very responsive. The only draw back is there isn’t a dishwasher which is tough if you are cooking a lot of your meals. The place does have a washer and dryer which is helpful. I would stay again.

Absolutely perfect

My mom loves on Ocala and she had been staying with my husband and I for 5 months. My husband's mom is not doing well so we flew down to see her in Gainesville. When we all got to my mom's house we knew someone was instantly seeing because it was 84 degrees on her house. Long story short, the AC would be replaced in 5 days. I reached out and we were able to secure this rental for nights starting that night. The owner was so ready to work with and responded immediately. We were pleasantly surprised that the "bungalow" as I husband called was clean, spacious, quiet, in a good area, and quiet. We happened to be the only one in the 6 rentals. I highly recommend to anyone looking for some where to stay in Ocala or if you're for somewhere for family this is perfect.
