Patti was a wonderful guest! They stayed with us while attending a dog show and took great care of the home. The house was left clean and tidy, and communication was easy throughout their stay. We’re so happy the backyard worked well for their four-legged friends, too! You are welcome back anytime and we would gladly host you again.
We only stayed for one night, but the property was perfect for what we needed. We had an event at the world equestrian center, and the house was less than 15 minutes away from there.
Backyard was wonderful. Great lighting at nighttime to see the dogs. Nice and clean no poop from previous occupants. My dogs loved it. Also nice clean garage to park car and unpack directly into house.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so happy to hear your corgi enjoyed the big backyard — it really is such a fun space for them to run around. I’m glad you loved the southern charm of the home and found everything you needed to feel comfortable. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. You’re always welcome back anytime! 💛
There is nothing I could have wished for (well okay a dishwasher but i grew up without one so that was nothing. ) The house is beautiful and the privacy fenced backyard was awesome. The neighbors are very nice people and as a woman alone I felt very safe and comfortable even at night. My dogs loved it. I will 100% suggest this to friends and she will see me next year!

About the host
Hosted by Beatriz
Hi, I’m Beatriz! 🌸 I’ve lived in Ocala for many years and absolutely love calling this area home. I’m a photographer, a mom, and someone who truly enjoys meeting people from all over the world. Traveling has always been a big part of my life—I’ve been lucky to explore places like Brazil, Egypt, Barbados, Italy, Portugal, and Dubai—and those experiences inspired me to open my home to fellow travelers. Hosting gives me the chance to share a little piece of Florida with you and make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it perfectly blends peace and convenience. The area is quiet, safe, and welcoming—ideal for guests who want to relax and enjoy their stay—yet it’s only minutes from the World Equestrian Center, I-75, and many of Ocala’s most popular attractions. Another key reason is that this is one of the few neighborhoods in Ocala that allows short-term rentals, making it possible for me to share my home with travelers while supporting the community.
What makes this property unique
Unique Western Theme – Your home isn’t just a place to stay, it’s an experience. The western-inspired décor ties in perfectly with Ocala’s identity as the Horse Capital of the World. Guests love themed spaces that feel memorable.
Prime Location – Only about 10 minutes from the World Equestrian Center, close to I-75 for easy access, and within reach of Silver Springs, Rainbow Springs, Devil’s Den, and even day trips to Disney. Many homes don’t offer this kind of central access.
Family & Group Friendly – With space to sleep up to 8 (King suite, Queen room, and a fun bunkroom), plus family extras like a high chair and pack & play, it’s ready for families of all sizes.
Pet-Friendly Touches – Not all rentals allow pets, but yours welcomes them, with thoughtful touches like food and water bowls provided.
Comfort Meets Functionality – Fully equipped kitchen (minus a dishwasher, but everything else is there), cozy living spaces, and a peaceful backyard to unwind.
Extra Care for Guests – From the Schlage smart lock entry to a detailed guide of local attractions and dining, guests can feel secure and cared for.
It’s not just a convenient place to stay—it’s themed, family-ready, pet-welcoming, and located right where visitors want to be when coming to Ocala.
