The Depot Village Family were very responsive to my questions before arriving and for things needed while we were there! The location was super convenient to downtown and the campus. Would definitely stay again!!

Thank you so much for your kind words!
We’re really glad we could be helpful both before your arrival and during your stay. Making things easy and stress-free is always the goal, so it means a lot to hear that stood out. And yes, the location really is hard to beat when it comes to getting around downtown and campus.
We’d love to have you back anytime and truly appreciate you choosing Depot Village!
Cool Place! Clean, staff very responsive and helpful. Close to everything and parking as well! I will be staying here again for sure when in town. 5 Stars!!
Rate this property very high, very close to university and all the restaurant. There is a store which sell the CBD and stuff, which I felt was no no for a family stay, but there was no trouble overall.
Great for what we needed! Host happened to be available on site when we arrived and was friendly and accommodating. It was me, my husband, 2 young sons (4 yo, 2yo) and 2 dogs staying one night for the Medieval Faire. Great location, walkable to Depot Park and several restaurants. We had a little hiccup with the check in process but it was resolved quickly, not a big deal at all.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review!
We’re so glad the space worked well for your family (and your pups!) and that you were able to enjoy the walkable location to Depot Park and nearby restaurants. Sounds like a fun trip to the Medieval Faire!
We also appreciate you mentioning the quick check-in hiccup and are really glad we were able to get that resolved right away. That kind of thing matters to us, and we’re always working to make the process as smooth as possible.
It was a pleasure hosting you all, and we’d happily welcome you back anytime!
We loved this small quaint place. Very clean. Loved the area. Outside area with a view. Beds were a little hard. Overall definitely a cool place. We will be back.
Accommodations were as expected. Only complaint is the beds were hard and uncomfortable.

Hello Lisa!
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We sincerely apologize for not giving you the 5-star experience we strive for. We have high-quality mattresses and have generally received positive feedback on them, so we are sorry to hear they were too firm for your comfort. Your comments are valuable, and we’ll keep them in mind to further improve our guests’ experience. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
We stayed in the treehouse suite! Easy check-in, ordered in for dinner from Harry’s, walked to our concert and had a great time! We were welcomed by friendly staff and assured if we needed anything, to just ask! 5 stars, only needs a little more lighting inside😊
The experience was overall great,the place had a full kitchen and shower which made the whole stay smooth. The beds were comfy,but it be nice if they had extra pillows and blankets. They could be folded in the closet if needed.
I had an amazing experience here! The property is just as described. Very clean, the kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, the water was hot, and the air conditioning was cold. The owner is fantastic, very quick to respond to messages. Our first night there, we got to see a live performance of The Princess Bride, and the second night was live music. 10/10

Thank you Jason! Sorry about the delayed response! We hope to have you back in the future!
We had to take our pup to UF for major surgery. The treehouse was perfect. Well updated, clean, and private. Perfect location. Just a warning for the tall folks 6 ft and greater, doorways are shorter than average. My husbands 6.5 and hit his head on the doorway a few times.
.We decided not to stay at this apartment. Description and photos of apartment and property was not accurate.

This is unfortunate to hear we work hard and have a amazing property from what we hear from most guest, can you please message us and let us Know what was wrong with the pictures vs what you saw in person we would love to make it up to you some how 🏡❤️
Stayed October 2023. This was a wonderful place to stay when traveling with my dog. It is in a small, unique complex with a handful of units managed by an onsite team. The staff were great and eager to help with restocking the room and carrying bags up the stairs (this unit is a second floor walk up). The space was exactly as pictured. The far ends of the property are protected by a privacy fence, and there are plenty of cozy outdoor spaces to chill and get some fresh air within the grounds. There is a large stage area in the middle of the common area outside, but it was quiet the weekend I stayed. I would absolutely recommend and would stay there again!

Thank you for your kind words and for staying with us :) It was wonderful to have you here. We hope to see you and the 4 legged friend again soon!
No parking instructions given and when we got there we found no parking onsite. Parked across the street to check it out. That when we notice a few homeless guys hanging around and one that took interest in our jet ski. Walking to the room we walked right into a couple guys smoking weed, drinking beer, and listening to music right outside our room. Owner say they were guests and doing nothing wrong since that is normal here. We immediately left and ate the money just to get a hotel up the road. I was not going to have my wife and kids in this environment. Beware, the ad says nothing about this. Very sketchy. Not family friendly
Property manager was great. Super fast response. It was a little confusing finding the rental at night but with the help of the property manager and some other guests it was a smooth checks n and check out. Place was nice, clean and comfortable and exactly as described. Will stay here again for sure.

This property was renovated as a 2 bedroom-instead of a 1 bedroom with living space. There is no common area-except for the kitchen—which is a very nice kitchen. That worked for me but I would’ve have enjoyed a sitting area also.
Also, could have used some cleaning supplies—particularly a broom and some extra garbage bags. I did some flower arranging and cooking for an engagement party and had a hard time cleaning up.
Communication was easy and complete—accessing property and parking were no problem. I’d definitely stay again!
