Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ocala

10/10 Excellent

Beautifull 4 bedroom home, swimmng pool with Lanai and Fenced in yard.

10/10 Excellent

"Very spacious rooms and a beautiful pool area. Lots of towels and a well stocked kitchen. Mario was quick to respond and allowed us to check in early. We would definitely book again if in the area."

Exclusive Villa, Ocala

10/10 Excellent

"Home was very neat and nice! The host responded quick to questions and to anything we needed! Highly recommend"

Spacious 4-bedroom home, minutes from I-75 with a game room and sleeping for 8!

10/10 Excellent

"I would love to return for another stay at this home. It was beautiful and roomy. Quiet neighborhood which also made it more enjoyable. Each room has it's own theme which was fun. Beds were firm yet comfy, like sleeping at home. A relative had another vrbo , cheaper but not as nice at all. The sound machine was great awoke to singing birds. Only suggestions, more coffee cups, softer tp, and some air in the game area. Hope to stay again."

Merlin's Manor

10/10 Excellent

"We rented this home because we were attending Rock the Country Ocala and it was a convenient property for that festival. The pet friendly, fenced backyard was excellent, and our two miniature poodles loved running around. Home was very clean and the beds are comfortable."

Family-Friendly Ocala Retreat: 18 Mi to Dtwn!

8/10 Good

"The check in was smooth. The property had all the amenities listed. Everything worked and the location was perfect for the venue we went to Ocala for. I would recommend."

Farm living by Santos Trails & the Villages!

10/10 Excellent

"Property owners were great, very kind and even took my granddaughters out to the farm to meet the chickens and the cows. Overall experience was very very good. And an excellent price for sure! We visited all of the springs in every direction and the location was perfect. Indiana brought new towels 2 minutes after I messaged her. There's a few minor reasons I didn't give it a totally perfect score. I know this is Florida and it's hot, the room stayed moderately cool, but the unit worked hard the whole time and it would've been great to be a couple degrees colder. We didn't have hot water the last night, I'm not sure if it shares hot water with the main house, but two minutes into my shower and it was lukewarm so I threw the girls in as fast as I could, they were shivering lol. The other nights when we showered, there was plenty of hot water. The king size bed was a bit soft, but I still slept well, a couple of kitchen towels would be helpful, but I really appreciated the hot plate to cook on. Bring tupperwe. There was a gap around the doors, perhaps a pet had torn the weather stripping off, but that might be why the room didn't cool off as much as I would've liked. The futon would be fine for a small child, my nine-year-old did OK, but probably not suitable for an adult or an older child. We brought our kayaks and paddle boards, and there was plenty of room in the carport to leave some during the day. Overall a wonderful time and a great family to work with. 9/10!"

Fenced Yard & Dog Wash! Mins to Springs & Racing

10/10 Excellent
