Our second stay at this location and it was just as wonderful as the our first. As before, it exceeded our expectations. Excellent accommodations, great host, perfect location for our needs. Weâve already booked our next visit and this is our new âgo toâ spot for any visit to the Ocala area.
This was a great place to stay. It was clean and full of everything you need. Great host. When we come back next year for Rock the country we will be staying there again.
Very clean with really nice decor. Had a hard time finding a nice place to stay for the weekend so we're very thankful to have come across this! It's nice how close it is to downtown.
This property was perfect in every way - clean, cute, fully stocked. Owner went out of her way to provide amenities for our toddler as well. 5 stars all around!
Property was well kept. Amenities were good.
Location was good for me because I have friends in several locations in Ocala. I was also back and forth for 4 days to WEC (World Equestrian Center). Easy directions to WEC.
This property is super cute and clean, very impressed with the thought that went into this stay, special touches down to having some hair products in the bathroom and soap and shampoo. The energy that went into making this VRBO feel cozy and comfortable was much appreciated. I would recommend to anyone staying in the area. Safe and convenient!
The place was clean and fresh. Location convenient to everything Ocala. 4 star on check in only because I went to the wrong unit at first. Probably my fault as I could have called to get the info I needed. Loved the ease of checkout.
Love the place. Itâs Perfect. Denise is an excellent host with excellent communication.
Denise has all kind of nice little details all over the apartment. For example, she has 2 types of coffee machines (love it), USB chargers everywhere, etc., etc.
Also, plenty of free parking in the property.
Highly recommend this place and host.
Thank you Denise :-)
I highly recommend this spot. Perfect for me and my teenage son. The host is wonderful. Every time
I texted her, which was a lot, I got a response within 1 hour.
We were there for WEC so itâs a perfect location. Lots of traffic on the main streets but the apartment street was very quiet as was the complex itself .
Highly recommend it . Very reasonable price for what you get.
Had never been to central Florida before but we will definitely be back! Loved the quietness and variety of the area. So much to see and do within no more than an hour drive. Very responsive host, the few minor issues were answered almost immediately. Loved the organization and labeling on all needful items.
Denise always responded accurately and in a timely manner. Her recommendations were helpful in finding things I wanted in the area. The place itself matched the photos and had the listed ammendities. The ammendities such as kitchen appliances and a washing machine made traveling easy. The apartment was tidy and comfortable. Outside of Ocala, there are lot of springs and nature activities. Gainsville is a 45 minute drive away, which is convenient. I would stay here again.
Stayed for 3 nights for an event at WEC, which is about a 15 minute drive from the apartment. Apartment was very clean with many stores and restaurants nearby. Host was easy to reach and promptly answered questions. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in town.
While my husband and I are native Floridians, we have also lived abroad for several years. We returned to the United States in 2015 and opened our first vacation rental in 2022. My husband is retired law enforcement, serving his community for 20+ years and I am retired from our local school system. We thoroughly enjoy spending time with our grandchildren.
The Downtown Retreat Six is located in an established, quiet and peaceful residential neighborhood close to hospitals, downtown, shopping and restaurants.
