Responsive hosts and a great location, and excellent for the price. Time and weather kept us from checking out some of the amenities, but the pool looked lovely! Good sized kitchen and enough space for 3 of us to sit comfortably. The bathroom is small in size, but the shower is great. All in all, really hard to beat it for the price!

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 private parking, a large kitchen, living room, bathroom, large bedroom, private deck and shared pool deck all steps from downtown.
