Thanksgiving Blessings
When we walked in the front door, this place felt like home. Tori pays close attention to details, like the sitting room in the back. That coffee table was perfect for playing games and puzzles with our Grandsons. The boys really like the Snoopy-themed bedroom. The yard was very well kept, we loved the Oak tress & Spanish moss. Beautiful!

Meets Your Needs!
We had booked this property, specifically looking for a heated pool for the kids, since we wouldn't be close to the beach this time. The pool was a bit chilly for us (solar heated but the kids didn't care and if you're not from Florida don't expect private pools to be heated 80+ degrees that costs big $$ down here!) but we expected it to be chilly due to the cool nights/mornings and it rained a good bit the first night/day- no fault of the host by any means and it was clean!! The house is very spacious and has a well equipped kitchen if you're plan to stay in and cook! The grill is in good working order. I wasn't sold entirely on the beds and the master bed could use a new mattress in the near future. The twin beds were decorated in a cute Snoopy theme but the metal frames will need replaced or maybe tightened up- especially if adults plan to sleep on them. The front bedroom was also a king and comfortable. There are a lot of extra pillows if needed in the closets!! The neighborhood is quiet and traffic is slow enough to ride bikes, run or take walks. Communication was great with our host as we had some questions and received quick answers and results! The house is clean and has a "lived in feel" that gives off cozy vibes! We enjoyed movie nights on the couch with all the extra fuzzy blankets. There is shampoo, conditioner and body wash for the bathrooms and appreciated the plethora of towels and the make-up towels! There are extra pool towels to use and bring your own dive

Close to WEC and perfect for the weekend.
We stayed two nights to show at WEC. It was SO CLOSE and made it easy to get to and from the show. The house was clean, comfortable and had great amenities. My son was upset it was too cold to use the pool. The property manager responded to us very quickly when we had a question. It was perfect for what we needed. It was in a very nice quiet neighborhood.

We highly enjoyed our stay at Tori's property. She was very responsive to questions prior to booking which helped us to make a good decision on where was the best place for us to stay. She also was very helpful in returning some valuables I left behind me. We enjoyed the Lanai and other amenities. Wi-fi worked great which sometimes can be an issue if you need to work on your vaca..lol. Kitchen appliances all seemed very new. Bedrooms very nice size with plenty of space for clothes and such. All around very clean home and property. Very nice neighborhood. 5-10 minutes to WEC.

Perfect for us!
This was our first VRBO experience, having always done a condo exchange in the Orlando area previously. This property was just perfect for us, spacious, clean & comfortable. The generator was an appreciated bonus as we did lose power during a thunderstorm. Booking and checkin very smooth, communication with the host was timely and very pleasant. Overall just a great experience! We will be back, and hope to make this our home base when visiting our son’s family in Ocala.

Swim meet
What a fantastic venue. We came for a swim meet at the fast aquatic pool which was a few miles from the house. Very convenient and quiet. The home is very large beautiful grounds and lovely neighborhood. They have thought of everything and more. Extremely comfortable and fully stocked kitchen with spices pots blenders you name it. The pool area was also very enjoyable in the late afternoon. The kids enjoyed the warm pool and the bicycles were a nice surprise. Would highly recommend.
