Great place to stay.
My family and I were very pleased with this property. It is everything that is advertised. It was very clean and it has anything you need to be comfortable. The hostess was very nice and offered to help with anything that may arise during our stay. The neighborhood was quiet with no safety concerns. It was close to food and entertainment. I definitely recommend this property for anyone staying in the area.

Cozy Apartment
Very nice property and the host is super attentive and helpful! In a good location and quiet neighborhood, we didn’t even hear the other guests nor saw many of them. It was definitely a safe place for our family to hunker down during Hurricane Milton as we evacuated Tampa Bay Area. Bedrooms nicely decorated and comfy with lots of closet space (could use more hangers) as is the bathroom. Kitchen is somewhat stocked with useful items. Overall, it was a great place to stay!

Amazing property right downtown
My step son just moved to Ocala Florida and was graduating . A perfect vacation for us from Phoenix . The property was right downtown . Publix super market was less than 1/4 mile. Restaurants were the same distance away. When we arrived the code to the door worked . Always a positive . The place was immaculate. We started to unload our groceries and found that some of the stuff we purchased such as spices happened to already be in the cabinet . After further looking around they supplied many other items Garbage bags, kpods, qtips, etc . It also looked like he previous tenants even left some unopened items they didn't use such as butter, salad dressing , mustard , ketchup . I could go on and on . Point . You won't be disappointed with the location and home for your vacation . To top it off the property manager was amazingly available whenever needed by text for any question I had . I would definitely go back next year.

Very comfortable place to stay!
Denise was super accomodating. She helped me book her place at the last minute. The place was in a great location (although gps had us going round and round and didn't take us right to the apartment. It was confused lol) But the apartment had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were so comfortable. And Denise checked on us during the week. I would stay here again if I needed to stay in Ocala. The location was perfect for us because my dad was at the nearby hospital. Even when he got moved to rehab the drive was only 20 min. It's a very centrally located place.

Clean and stocked but dark
I loved the unit and appreciated that it was very clean and stocked with the necessities. And it was spacious! But we came in on a Thursday evening and we were the only ones there. There were no lights in the parking area at all. As we approached the building from the parking lot, there was a light that came on, but we had to unload the car in the pitch black and we didn’t know the neighborhood and didn’t feel safe. Our unit was in the back so once we passed the initial light that came on, we had to walk in the dark again until we got to our door. If there had been other people there, perhaps some porch lights would have been on which would have helped. But it was dark and we felt isolated.

Wonderful experience
This property was absolutely perfect for my daughter and I. We stayed for 2 months, and it had everything to call this place home for that long. The kitchen was well appointed, beds comfortable, internet was fast and reliable and everything was very clean. There is even a little deck to relax on. The location is central to everything Ocala, and WEC is only 20 mins away. I would definitely stay here again if we come back to town.

It was extremely clean, beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans. Denise was very responsive to all our questions.

Clean and comfortable with a great location
Hi Denise - Your place was clean, comfortable and in a great location. It would be helpful in your listing to communicate the unit number as it took us a long time to find the unit as we arrived late at night because of a flight delay and just had to try each key pad in the building (the good news is that it was the 2nd one)! Also, there was a candle burning when we entered the unit which was not only dangerous, but also made us uncomfortable because we thought someone was there. Other than those minor check-in hiccups your place was great and we would stay there again. Thank you!
