Everything was great for our visit. We had a 20 foot trailer and several vehicles so the only thing that would have been nicer was if the driveway was a little wider. Also an actual heated pool with a privacy screen would have been nice but I know that's a lot to ask for. Overall it was def a great place to stay and I would def recommend it!

I can't say enough nice things about this property. It is convenient and clean and well stopped and well maintained. Communication with the owner is stellar. I could move it and live here. Owner has thought of lots of little special touches or two numerous count. Just load up the car and come you'll want to move in too

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!
