We were in Ocala for a swim meet at Florida Aquatics Swimming and Training, so rented this home because it was the closest we could find to that venue. It far surpassed our hopes for a place to relax and recover between swim meets! The home is spacious, tastefully decorated, the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals, and the pool area was like a quiet retreat. The neighborhood is beautiful and great for walking/running, and our hosts were communicative and hospitable. Our stay in this home was one of the best we’ve had, and we would certainly stay again if in town for another meet.

UF Graduation Trip

We were visiting to go to my masters graduation at UF in Gainesville. This was the perfect location for us halfway between Gainesville and the Orlando airport. We loved the house and the pool was clean and warm! Definitely would recommend for anyone looking to stay in the Ocala area. El Toreo was also a great dinner spot!

Tori was wonderful to work with. She is genuinely concerned for the comfort of her guests. The home was clean and had extra little touches some owners don’t always think of. I actually reached out to her praising the cleanliness of the home. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

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!
