Great weekend getaway

We loved our stay here. The house was clean and spacious. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard. The swimming pool was great, and the pool table got used a lot more than we thought it would! Everything was within 5 minutes of the house, it was great. Don was a great host. I highly recommend staying here!

Long weekend

We stayed over a long weekend for a swim meet. Location was close to shops and restaurants which was convenient for our group. Don was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We had the unfortunate mishap of a power outage due to a downed electrical line after a vehicle hit it down the street, but he kept in contact with updates and power was quickly restored. The house was clean and even stocked with snacks and beverages for us which was greatly appreciated after hours of travel! Thank you!

Beautiful Home

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. This place had more amenities than I ever expected and was meticulously clean. We enjoyed spending time out by the screened-in pool and we played many rounds of pool at the pool table. I would not hesitate to rent this place again.

We rented this property for spring break with our children and grandchildren. The house is beautiful and clean. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool, although the water was a little cool for me. The pool table got more use than I imagined. Would definitely rent this unit again.

Awesome House

My husband and I, along with our 9 children from infant up to 15 years old had a great time here. We live a couple hours away from Ocala and just wanted a little vacation with a pool house for the kids to enjoy and usually we go to Orlando but tried this and I loved the Ocala area way better. This house is literally right by all the restaurants and shopping you could think of without the traffic and chaos of Orlando. The house was clean and well furnished, the owner was awesome, loved the layout and the pool table. I highly recommend!

Home away from home!

This home felt like home away from home. The beds are super comfortable, my husband and I have bad backs and we actually slept in for the first time in years! Even though it was rainy and a little cold outside we didn’t get to swim but the pool was very nice. We really enjoyed the pool table! The home is welcoming, we will definitely stay there again when we come to visit our family! Communication was easy and Mr. Bell was very pleasant! Thank you so much for opening your home for my family and I to spend time with each other!

Horse family in town for a show

House was great and had everything we needed for the most part. House is about 15 min from the WEC, we were in town for the week of thanksgiving and our family made a great turkey dinner, oven was a bit wonky at first but it worked in the end. Pool was great even though it’s not heated so limited use at the end of Nov in Ocala. We’re greeted with snacks and beverages in the fridge. Centrally located in Ocala with easy access to the highway.

About the host

Hosted by Don Bell

Host profile image
I moved to the United States from Norway about 20 years ago. I have always been fascinated with infrastructure & real estate. I pride myself in providing a stellar vacation rental experience for others. I am always near my phone if you have any questions before booking or have any questions during your stay.

Why they chose this property

I saw this property come on the market and knew I had to have it immediately. It has tremendous curb appeal with the grand circular driveway and landscaping. A fully fenced back yard is great for those with children or dogs. A beautiful private swimming pool (that lights up at night) adds another layer of luxury to this property. There is also now an 8ft Craftmaster Pool Table in the game room off the living room.

What makes this property unique

This home features two Queen sized sleeper sofas (pull out couches) in the living room. There is also a Queen over Twin XL trundle bed in one of the bedrooms. Being only 10 minutes from The World Equestrian Center this is a perfect property for you and your family or team to compete. It is also located in the heart of shopping & restaurants for those who are not so interested in the equestrian scene. You will appreciate the brand new quality furniture I have purchased for this home. There were no corners cut in the furniture shopping escapade.
