We just returned from our second stay at the Carriage House in Ocala’s Historic District, and we’re already planning our third trip next year!Every 4th of July we load up the Jeep for a 9–11 day vacation based in Ocala. It’s the perfect central spot — only a couple hours to completely different adventures. One day we’re off-roading in Ocala National Forest, the next we’re exploring St. Augustine, Mount Dora, Daytona, Cedar Key, and more.The Carriage House is clean, comfortable, and has everything we need: a 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout, fully equipped kitchen, coffee bar, welcome snack basket, and a nice reclining couch with TV for chill nights.The owners, JP & Jill, are fantastic. They’re always a quick phone call away and incredibly accommodating. When my wife got sunburned, JP immediately brought over aloe and lotion — that kind of care really stands out.The location is unbeatable. You’re walking distance to downtown’s great restaurants and craft breweries. The Historic District is full of beautiful late 1800s/early 1900s homes, and the surrounding area offers tons of history, old forts, and forest trails for 4x4 fun.We highly recommend the Carriage House. Clean, comfortable, perfectly located, and hosted by truly wonderful people. Book it — you won’t regret it!

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful property! The host was excellent with communication and very responsive. Absolutely loved the decor, amenities, and cleanliness of the place. Very close to downtown which was so convenient, you could even walk there. I highly recommend staying here!

We have enjoyed multiple stays at different properties that Jill hosts and have never been disappointed.

Jill and JP are most welcoming. We immediately felt at home in their Carriage House.
