I enjoyed my stay- the house was beautiful, very clean and had everything I needed and then some. It was ideally located near Sonic, Texas Roadhouse, Cracker Barrel, Wawa, and Celebration Pointe. Queen of Peace Catholic Church was 15 minutes away and easy to get to. Kanapaha Botanical Gardens was super close by. Would love to stay at this rental in Finley Woods again in the future.

Unfortunately, due to the same day turnover our handyman was not able to fix the showerhead. The showerhead had been installed by a previous guest, who broke our other showerhead. It has been since replaced with a with a higher quality and works like a dream.

Was listed to sleep 5. 2 bedrooms and third sleep space. Unfortunately that sleep space was a couch with a sheet on it. Figured it would be a pull out mattress. There was no napkins or paper towels in the kitchen. Was very clean except extra Bathroom toilet had a lot of black around the rim.

This place is great. The house is nearly new in a really nice modern neighborhood. House has all the amentities needed and even some extras provided by the host. Great communication and easy access to the building as well. We stayed in Gainesville as it is nearly the halfway point between our home in Tampa and my Daughters current home at FSU. We met here to celebrate my 60th birthday with my family together. Next time we need a halfway stay location for certain this will be my first choice! Thanks !!

About the host

Hosted by Kyla McMullen

Host profile image
I am a professor at the University of Florida and I rent out this house to anyone who is looking to spend some time in Gainesville. Finley woods is a wonderful community. We live down the street from the house, in the same community, so if you need anything during your stay, we are close.
My husband and I love Gainesville for its downtown nightlife, proximity to the beaches, Gator games, unique restaurants, and awesome weather.

Why they chose this property

You should stay here for the following reasons:
- It's close to the highway so you won't have to fight traffic to get out of town.
- When Archer is clogged with traffic, you can go down Williston which allows a quicker trip to campus.
- The community is very quiet and safe in a tucked-away location.
- The neighbors are friendly.
- We are 3 minutes from everything you need like Starbucks, Whole Foods, Target, Chik-Fil-A, Trader Joe's, Regal Movie Theatre, Nike Outlet, Prime & Pearl, Spurrier's Gridiron Grille, Celebration Pointe, Dave and Busters, Publix, Best Buy, etc.
- The house has everything you need for a short or long stay.
- The community has nice sidewalks for walking or taking a run.
