Excellent stay. The place was wonderful. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room. Everything working as it should. Great coffee place half a block away-called Coffee Culture. Excellent responsiveness from owner/property manager. Great location to explore UF and all of Gainesville. Would definitely stay again.
We stayed at this property for a week during Christmas. It has a wonderful large open space floorplan. The neighborhood was quiet , we enjoyed spending time on the deck during the week in the sunshine. The host was very responsive with any questions we had during our stay. We will definitely return to this property in the future.
This was the perfect size and location for our stay! We loved hanging out at night on the huge deck out back under the string lights! Would definitely stay here again if we’re in town.
My kids loved the game room! The kitchen was well stocked, especially compared to other places we’ve rented before, even had toddler dishes and high chair. The back yard was a decent size and my kids had fun playing there too. The bedrooms were as advertised.
Great stay - house has a great layout and backyard space. Well equipped and comfortable! My favorite coffee spot a few houses away - Coffee Culture! We will be back!
This was a great property. It's close to everything. My family enjoyed the provided games in the house. It was in a quiet neighborhood and overall was a peaceful stay. The owner had great communication and will try to stay again next time we are visiting the area.
Spent 3 days on UF campus for preview with our daughter. Great location to access campus, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Easy access to communicate with host :D. We would stay again. Thank you!
Property was clean and organized. Very cozy and convenient for out of town workers. We even helped cleaned up yard debris from roof and grounds after hurricane Melton.
This house was an awesome find!Spacious, great yard for pets, comfortable, and clean! Grand kids loved the game room! It had everything we needed to make our Baseball weekend a success! Great location to the University and restaurants. The hosts were perfect and made sure our stay was all and more than expected. I give this place 10 and would definitely rent again!
We really enjoyed our stay at this exceptionally clean and well thought out floor plan
We were in town for my niece's wedding and was a great place to come back to after our pre/post wedding events.
AC works well, comfortable furniture
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your property. The house was clean, comfortable and so spacious. The communication was great. The check in/out process was easy. We were in for a wedding and were so grateful for the space to get everything organized and prepared. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the back patio under the beautiful tree each morning. It was a great time. We will definitely be back!
My wife and I, a long with our dog, enjoyed the stay at this property. A nice fenced in back yard with plenty of room for outdoor activities. Very close to restaurants and grocery stores. Inside of the house was very modern and had everything we needed. Host was very communicative and checked with us to make sure we had everything that we needed. We enjoyed this property and would book again.
Everything lived up to the description. Kitchen is huge and modern. Open floor plan is very nice. It rained while we were there but the back yard is nice for sitting out, BBQ or sitting by the fire pit. Grocery store within walking distance!
We had one of the nicest weekends in Gainesville and stayed at one of the nicest places we have rented. The accommodations could not have been better. Everything worked perfectly super clean, nice and spacious. The backyard was awesome. It was close to shopping. We stayed there with my wife and I, my mother and my two sisters. We were in Gainesville for a wedding and things could not have gone better thank you very much to our host for making our weekend special.
Nicely updated home with lots of room. State of the art kitchen and all stone floors throughout. Game rooms were very handy. Fully fenced back yard with large flat decking and quiet neighborhood. Centrally located for U of Florida and many parks. We intend to use this house again in the winter weather.
My daughters and I needed a place to stay as we were displaced from Hurricane Milton. The house was great. We had plenty of room, there are a variety of games available. The location made it easy to get onto the main roads. There is a very large backyard with a nice deck and bistro lights which made the stay even more home like. I would highly recommend it.
We made reservations for this location as it was a short drive to UF. Contact with the management was smooth and we received all check in information the day of arrival. The instructions were on spot on and made it easy to find the home. The house was clean with plenty of room for a large family. Has everything you need to cook a meal and plenty of games for kids/teenagers. We found lots of restaurants around the area and Publix and pharmacy closed by. Great place to stay in Gainesville.
Very pleased with this home. Kitchen nice and spacuios for 3 people preparing food and cooking at the same time. House very clean. Loved the quiet neighborhood. Host responded very quickly to my question about operating this new to me thermostat. Very pleased.
We usually stay in hotels when we visit our son at UF, but we decided to rent a house so our dog could join us this trip. It was clean, and looked just like the pictures. The backyard was perfect for our dog and we enjoyed a bonfire each night. The owners were very communicative and the neighbors were friendly. We will definitely be back in the future!
