Perfect Gainesville Stay

The house was very roomie and clean. The owner was very flexible with checking in and out, and communicated well with us. The neighborhood was nice and safe enough for us to take a run outside. The kitchen and bathrooms were well-equipped with all of the extras, such as spices, dish detergent, shampoo..

Family Vacation

The house was great. Had lots of fun games to play and room for all of us. The only thing it was lacking was lighting in the back year and in the driveway at night time. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. Alex was great responding and if ever needed will stay here again.

Very accommodating stay

The host & the house were absolutely amazing. Our family needed a temporary rental during our fathers surgery. The host was super accommodating to our needs, in our time of need. We are beyond thankful for that! The close proximity to Shand’s hospital was a critical necessity to be able to be back & forth. This location is close by to all the wonderful restaurants & shopping. We found this little gem of a place called Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park you must go check it out! Fascinating to actually see & great for a morning hike! Our family really enjoyed this wonderful home! During our stay we also dealt with a Cat 4 hurricane Idalia & this home was superb on keeping us all protected & the host was very attentive! 5 stars all around

The house was clean and perfect for the needs. We were in town for a wedding with all of us coming into town at different times. Getting into the house was simple. The only draw back was the number on the house were behind a large bush. The home had everything and more that was needed! There was a glitch with VRBO when booking, and the dates were off by a day. Alex, our host, was accommodating to the glitch. Alex was quick to respond and ensure all would be fine. The location of the house was amazing! If you are looking for a house in Gainesville. This is the place! Highly recommend! Also the hammock in the back yard was the winning feature!!
