No pool usage!!!!😡😡😡

We come to Florida every March, we are from Wisconsin, so we always book a house with a pool, we love to swim, the pool was not filtering, we told the owner, they did send someone out three times, but it was never fixed,to say it ruined our vacation is an understatement, the house and everything else was great.

Great Host and place

Everything accommodated our travel softball team and parents. Great location and amenities. The Host Javier was super supportive of our request and needs and even offered us a late checkout to allow us to play our games without the worry of rushing our checkout. Would definitely use his property again when we come back in the summer.

Reunion of friends and UF Graduation - MS Microbiology

We had a great time at the Hidden Lake property. It was perfect for our relatively large group, and the flow of the kitchen, dining area and living room was great, with the bedrooms offering privacy off the main flow. It was a beautiful location, only wish we had better weather to enjoy the outdoor areas more (quite the rainy weekend (& of course, no fault of the owner!). Despite the weather, the house is open and spacious and we had no complaints. Conveniently located close to UF campus, with plenty of nearby shopping for everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!!

Very responsive and accommodating

Javier was absolutely awesome with communication. Also so accommodating. We had a fantastic weekend with friends and family. The house was very clean and we loved all of the Gator memorabilia and decorations. Would most certainly stay here again!! Javier, thanks for the memories and all of your assistance!!!

About the host

Hosted by Javier Garrido

I am a professional Vacation Rental property manager and this is our personal home where both of our kids were born. During the pandemic, our kids fell in love with the home and we decided what better way to share it with others than to make it a luxury vacation rental. We aim to provide you with the highest level of professional service expected at any 5 star resort, only better and private!
We encourage constructive criticism and any ideas you may have to make Hidden Lake Vacation Club the best it can be and we plan to make improvements over time for guests to enjoy year over year.

Why they chose this property

Hidden Lake Vacation Club is a one of kind estate located on a private, "hidden" lake that is IN town and close to everything Gainesville has to offer. Comparable properties of this size and seclusion are located far from the center of town and the University of Florida. We believe Hidden Lake will provide you with a very unique experience, especially for "Hogtown"!
