Great location

Jill’s place is located in a beautiful section of the Historic District and has everything we needed. Less than one mile to downtown area. Easy check in. Jill touched base with us a couple times to be sure we had everything we needed. Definitely would book again.

Beautiful Pet Friendly Property in Ocala

This was a beautiful property. The hosts were very gracious, and the property was lovely. They even left farm fresh eggs in the fridge, they were so thoughtful and kind. The shower in this suite is fantastic; it has a pebbled floor and a rainfall showerhead. Everything is close, it is only 60 miles to Daytona and very close to Silver Springs and Juniper Springs. Best of all, my best friend was welcome.

About the host

Hosted by Jill

In 2019 I purchased the Historic Kemp house in downtown Ocala. After months of renovation, I opened it up for guests to enjoy. I have been in the rental industry for years, and always look to have happy guests. Thank you for considering the property.

Why they chose this property

The historic district is full of charm and character. I love to walk a few minutes downtown to eat at the wonderful restaurants, shop in the boutiques and listen to live music. The architecture of each home is completely different than the next making for an interesting eclectic collection of homes.

What makes this property unique

The suite is a great value located in a great downtown historic neighborhood. Guests have private parking, their own front outdoor sitting area, private entrance, bathroom, bedroom, living room/kitchen/ dining area, and private deck and a grill.
