Wow Monica - thank you so much for your all 10 star review and awesome comments - we try very hard to offer a well stocked heated pool home, offer free early check in when available, and work with great third party providers such as house cleaning/yard/pool - so we appreciate it doesnt go noticed and for staying with us - we welcome you back anytime you are in town - have a great 2026!
Positives... quiet neighborhood, great host communication, internet service was reliable, plenty of supplies, cleaning service provided for our extended stay and the kitchen was well stocked. We used the gas grill and appreciated having a water cooler. However, the living room furniture needs a major refresh and other parts of the house could use some TLC. Overall good stay.

About the host
Hosted by Scott and Kathleen (Private Owners)
We are 40 somethings who do real estate, mortgages, and investments and love Ocala - and treat all guests as if they are close friends or family. We will always try our best to get back to you fast and make you feel right at home.
Why they chose this property
We like how close it is to downtown and has no HOA, nosy neighbors, and is very private and quiet. No doubt it gets hot and humid in Ocala - but, with all the trees, greenery, and breeze at this house - its very enjoyable year round.
What makes this property unique
Its been recently upgraded and remodeled (2022) from the kitchen, to the bathrooms, to the floors, to the ceiling fans in each room - you name it. One of our favorite upgrades are the tinted windows and shades and then black out shades in all 3 bedrooms. Need to work as you play? No worries, we have up to 1 GIG internet (fastest in Ocala) and a private office with 2 work desks. Want to relax in the private screened off Florida room overlooking the heated pool? You can, private heated pool and yard are yours to enjoy.
