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*~

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.

About the host

Hosted by Tori

Host profile image
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!
