Hampton Inn & Suites Ocala - Belleview

10/10 Excellent

"Change nothing"

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."

Beautifull 4 bedroom home complete with couvered swimmng pool.

8/10 Good

"Great property overall! The pool right in the backyard is nice to have, however the pool deck could’ve used a good clean, as well as the cage around the pool."

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

"Excellent stay, very accommodating host. Highly recommended option for your home away from home. Great yard for pets and children."

3 Mi to SummerGlen Golf Club: Ocala Getaway!

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The home was extremely clean with no odors at all, which made it feel fresh and very well cared for. It was also very comfortable and had everything you could possibly need during your stay.The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, which we really enjoyed—it made for a very relaxing experience. Overall, a great place to stay and we would definitely come back!"

Family Fun Getaway, Spacious, Cozy & Kid-Friendly

8/10 Good

"The house was beautiful and It was very clean. The host was willing to work with me, because we were so early. I really appreciated that. The only reason i gave 4 stars was because there were no dressers or hangers. Everything had to be on the floor in suitcases the whole week."
