The house was perfect, 10 minutes to WEC, and we really enjoyed our stay. Its spacious and very comfortable with nice sofa's, good quality beds and a huge back yard. The host had set up the Christmas decorations which were very pretty. She was also very responsive when I called for some help with directions and the entry code.

The house is large and spacious, and although it’s in the middle of no where, the drive is beautiful and the kids loved seeing all the horses around the property. The cleanliness of house was disappointing however. But we appreciated the well stocked laundry room! Thanks for hosting!

Everything you need for a Great Stay!

The house has a great layout for multiple adult guests with 2 living spaces, kitchen and dining table. The host left anything you would need, included the "always" forgotten items (toothpaste, mouthwash and disposable razor) in both bathrooms. We had dark washcloths for makeup removal, coffee k-cups, sugar and some microwave popcorn. Plenty of dishes and good quality pots and pans. Will definitely stay again!

Our stay in beautiful Ocala, horse country!!

Beautiful, clean home just as described in the pictures. The grounds were very well kept and the view of the horse's was so peaceful every day. Very quiet place, home was spacious and all up to date appliances. King bed was very confy, sun room was a pleasure every day and Ms Pacman was quite addicting!!! Went to Butterfly Rainforrest in Gainesville and to Rainbow Springs. Nice, scenic roads winding through the horse ranches and by the World Equestrian Center. Thank you for a wonderful 4 nights!!

Wonderful A+++

Such an amazing home with all the comforts included. Home was clean, inviting, open floor plan, kitchen amenities and beautiful property with surrounding horse farms, pastures and trees for lots of shade. Catherine is a fantastic host, emails and texts with perfect check in and door code instructions, making sure everything was good after our arrival and a text with clear information on check out day. She’s a very caring and kind host. We’ve already booked our next Ocala getaway in her home.

Great for a lengthy stay

The kitchen is well stocked even though we only made dinner twice. Easy to find things. Beds are comfy. HVAC worked great. Very clean I love always having white towels and sheets so you know they’re clean. Washer and dryer is full size and nice. Nothing was missing. Quiet surrounding. WiFi is a little weak. If you wash your hair daily don’t stay in the master - however the closet is amazing!

Convenient location for horse people

House was super comfortable and secluded yet near WEC and all the things I needed for a horse weekend. I did arrive at night with a horse trailer and it was difficult to see where I needed to turn in, but I blame my bad eyes and not knowing where I was going in the dark. Once I figured out the driveway, it was good to get in and pull my truck and trailer through (just a small 2 horse trailer). Beds were super comfortable and also provided some snacks and coffee area. Backyard is super peaceful and would definitely stay again. Thank you for allowing us to visit and bring my fur kids.

Great House

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home in Ocala. We were there for the horse shows and so appreciated the bed comfort, the open, spacious floor plan. We even used the gas fireplace! Catherine was responsive but not intrusive and we appreciated the app download about the house and area. She had snacks and coffee waiting for us supplied by her. The house is tastefully decorated. We literally had everything we needed for our relaxing and comfortable 2 week stay. The yard was spacious and we were thrilled to be able to bring our 2 dogs. We highly recommend the home to everyone and we will definitely be back.

Highly Recommend and would stay again!

We recently stayed at Swift Strides in Ocala, Florida, and it was a fantastic experience! My husband, a friend, and I were in town for a dog show, and this location proved to be incredibly convenient—not only for the Ocala Kennel Club dog show site but also for visiting downtown and the World Equestrian Center.The property was just as advertised on VRBO, with pictures that perfectly matched the reality, which is always a relief! There was plenty of space for the three of us, and the house offered all the comforts of home. It was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the living space was perfect for relaxing after long days at the show.Check-in was a breeze, and Pam, the owner, was exceptionally responsive and accommodating. She made sure we had everything we needed and answered any questions we had promptly.For anyone attending events in Ocala or just looking for a great place to stay, I highly recommend Swift Strides. It truly felt like a home away from home. Thank you, Pam, for such a pleasant stay!
