House was great and as described! Super close to FAST for local swim meets. Tori was an excellent and very responsive host. We look forward to staying again, highly recommend!
We have rented VBROs for many years now, and this was the most organized rental we have seen, to date. We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time in Ocala.

Thank you for your kind review and for being an exceptional guest! Please come and stay with us again the next time you feel the need to get away!! *~Tori~*
Everything was great for our visit. We had a 20 foot trailer and several vehicles so the only thing that would have been nicer was if the driveway was a little wider. Also an actual heated pool with a privacy screen would have been nice but I know that's a lot to ask for. Overall it was def a great place to stay and I would def recommend it!

Thank you so much for your review and for being such thoughtful and considerate guests. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and I’d like to offer a little clarification on a few of the points you mentioned.
The listing does note that the pool is solar heated and available for use from March through October. During your stay, the weather in Ocala was in the 80s, and when I visited the home after your departure, the pool temperature was at 84°F — so the solar system was definitely doing its job.
In terms of privacy, the pool area is fully enclosed under a lanai, and the property itself sits on a large, tree-filled acre, which provides a nice sense of seclusion without the need for additional screens.
As for the driveway, that’s unfortunately not something I can change. I did mention prior to your booking that we’ve parked our own 27-foot travel trailer there without issue. I was aware of your trailer, but not that there would be multiple vehicles. Had that come up, I would have let you know in advance that the property allows parking for two vehicles only.
I truly appreciate your stay and your feedback, and I wish you all the best on your future travels. ~*Tori*~
amazing stay to visit family. Can not thank Tori enough for the great communication. The home was absolutely amazing. Everything that you can imagine was there to make my families stay perfect. Thank you again for sharing your home with us.

Thank you for the review Brandon. We appreciate the great communication to help make your stay comfortable and worry-free! We hope you will consider us again the next time you are in Ocala! ~*Tori*~
I can't say enough nice things about this property. It is convenient and clean and well stopped and well maintained. Communication with the owner is stellar. I could move it and live here. Owner has thought of lots of little special touches or two numerous count. Just load up the car and come you'll want to move in too

This property was an ideal location in proximity to FAST pool located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. The property manager was extremely responsive and accommodating. The house had everything you need and then some. It was a fantastic place to relax in between all the swimming sessions. I would definitely recommend and stay here again.

We were visiting to go to my masters graduation at UF in Gainesville. This was the perfect location for us halfway between Gainesville and the Orlando airport. We loved the house and the pool was clean and warm! Definitely would recommend for anyone looking to stay in the Ocala area. El Toreo was also a great dinner spot!

We were in Ocala for a swim meet at Florida Aquatics Swimming and Training, so rented this home because it was the closest we could find to that venue. It far surpassed our hopes for a place to relax and recover between swim meets! The home is spacious, tastefully decorated, the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals, and the pool area was like a quiet retreat. The neighborhood is beautiful and great for walking/running, and our hosts were communicative and hospitable. Our stay in this home was one of the best we’ve had, and we would certainly stay again if in town for another meet.
Very quiet and convenient location and house was in great condition. Beds were exceptionally comfortable, and cleanliness was immaculate. The pool area was relaxing with good seating. Hope to return soon!

About the host
Hosted by Tori
We fell in love with Ocala while visiting friends in 2020. In 2021, we purchased our first home and with the intent to provide a home-away-from home place for people to stay while traveling. We enjoy hosting so much. We have met so many wonderful people from all over the United States, Guatemala and the United Kingdom. In fact, we enjoy it so much, we purchased a second home in June 2022 and are actively looking for a third!
Why they chose this property
Since we love to travel ourselves, we know what we are NOT looking for in a home. Too often in our travels we have found homes that were not comfortable and not very well equipped. We made sure our home in nice and cozy with all the comforts of home. The kitchen is well stocked with upgraded appliances, including an air fryer, Keurig coffee maker and Belgian waffle maker. The kitchen is stocked with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, baggies, etc.
What makes this property unique
We have a large, one acre lot in a super quiet neighborhood, but we are still close to shopping and some of the best restaurants around!
