We are so thankful for the very special experience we had staying at the Downtown Retreat #6. It was so open, inviting, and lovely. The amenities provided made our stay so comfortable. The owners Denise and Darrin were wonderful! S.. & B.
This is the second time we have stayed, this time was just as wonderful as the last! Very clean, very comfortable, they have thought of everything! Great location too! We will stay again!
Location was very convenient for my mum and I to visit family at Avante nearby. The apt was perfect. So nicely decorated and clean and everything we needed. We were so impressed. Denise was very responsive and kind. Location good for restaurants and near Publix. Highly recommend !
Very nice apartment. The unit was clean and very comfortable. The host was extremely responsive. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone staying in the area.
Place is as pictured. Good location and host is very responsive. The only draw back is there isnât a dishwasher which is tough if you are cooking a lot of your meals. The place does have a washer and dryer which is helpful. I would stay again.
My mom loves on Ocala and she had been staying with my husband and I for 5 months. My husband's mom is not doing well so we flew down to see her in Gainesville. When we all got to my mom's house we knew someone was instantly seeing because it was 84 degrees on her house. Long story short, the AC would be replaced in 5 days. I reached out and we were able to secure this rental for nights starting that night. The owner was so ready to work with and responded immediately. We were pleasantly surprised that the "bungalow" as I husband called was clean, spacious, quiet, in a good area, and quiet. We happened to be the only one in the 6 rentals. I highly recommend to anyone looking for some where to stay in Ocala or if you're for somewhere for family this is perfect.
This property has everything you need for your stay. Beds are extremely comfy and very well decorated. Checking in was a pleasure with a very quick response.
I understand why Denise is a Premier host. VRBO had the wrong entry code so Denise made sure she got the correct one to me before she went to dinner. Her property was clean, and well equipped. Amazing attention to the details
The unit was nicely decorated and clean. Beds were comfy. Located minutes away from great restaurants and shopping centers. Host was excellent. Would stay again.
Our two adult daughters and my husband and I enjoyed a great stay! Such a clean property, very good communication with the host and an overall superior property!!
The property was perfect - clean, spacious, well-appointed, and very comfortable beds. The owners were very responsive, had great communication prior to and during the stay, and were extremely helpful. We are in Ocala on a somewhat regular basis and this will be our go-to property moving forward.
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.
