Spacious and Comfortable
Our big family came to Gainesville for our niece wedding and this place was perfect for everyone.We had plenty of space to come together and celebrate.
Excellent house for what we needed. The Coffee Keri was not working but a smaller one was available. Pool table was falling apart but function able. Everything else was perfect
Overall, this home was great for our family. Plenty of space for everyone! Nice large kitchen table where we all had a seat. The host, Kevin, was very helpful. He was able to fulfill our requests for pack-n-play and high chairs and even a Christmas tree!

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
We are four retired social workers who travel together frequently. The management company was easy to work with. The home is spacious but some of the furnishings are in need of upgrading/repair/replacement. The home is listed as a five bedroom/4 full bathrooms. There are only 3 full bathrooms with a half bath off the kitchen area. The home is located on a very busy highway. This home would be great for a large group on a football weekend.

Great space for our family while we were in town for our daughters wedding. Plenty of space to spread out and the kids enjoyed the pool table and games. Kitchen was great although there were very few drinking glasses. The doors under the sink were falling off the hinges. Well stocked with pans and most cooking utensils. Few repairs needed but overall a clean and excellent space for a large group to stay. I would stay here again!
We had an amazing time in Gainesville last weekend! The space was incredible and accommodating for our entire family. The guys enjoyed playing pool, ping pong and basketball. Plenty of room for Everyone!! We will definitely return here again.
This is one of the best VRBO properties I’ve ever stayed at. Great value for money—huge inside and outside with every house game and activity you can imagine. 15 minute drive to UF campus for football games. Highly recommend!
Lots of room, well-appointed with plenty of seating, tables, snacks and water (much appreciated by travelers). Pool and ping pong tables quite fun. Dog-friendly and a nice yard and patio area. Thank you!
We were looking for a place for the family to stay while in town for our daughters college graduation. The size and location allowed us to easily get to the college and not have to worry about where the family would stay. If traveling with a medium to large group, I'd recommend this house.
Great place for the family to hangout and spend quality time. We love our games and it was fun to play cornhole, pool and foosball. We also brought cards and games of our own and they had good tables to play on. Nice size dining room table for eating together.
