Charming well appointed property in a great location. The Carriage House was as advertised and very convenient to the historic downtown area and all the restaurants, shops and entertainment. The hosts were very gracious and responded in minutes to any inquiry. We've stayed at the hotel downtown but this was a much nice place to stay. The cottage will now be our "go to" place when we want to spend time in downtown Ocala. It's also located in a lovely, quiet historic neighborhood. As mentioned our hosts were wonderful too which added to overall satisfaction with our stay. We would recommend the Carriage House without hesitation and look forward to our next visit!
Everything about this property was great. It was just as described and easy to locate. Check-in process simple and hassle free. Decore was so cute and charming and the neighborhood is amazing, located and surrounded by beautiful, historical, southern homes. Very convenient to historic down town and area attractions. Everything was so perfect we never needed to contact the hose but she did reach out several times to make sure everything was good. Will definitely stay there when in the area.
We couldn’t had asked for more. Our lovely cottage, the friendliness of the owners, the amazing historical district, the shops, the food, I could go on and on. This place is the best! We’ve stayed in or around Ocala for the last 5 years for the week of the 4th. This was the 1st year we changed it up and stayed in the historical district. What an upgrade!! If we could give more than 5 stars we would! We will be back next year!!!
The Carriage House is well worth your stay! We only stayed 3 nights but didnt want to leave. We were treated with utmost respect! I would recommend staying there!
My family had a fantastic week here - we walked downtown every night for dinner. A lovely walk with tall trees and beautiful 100 year old homes. The VRBO was comfortable, clean and perfect for my family. I highly recommend Ocala and the stay here made it even better.
