Lovely older home in a charming neighborhood

This is an older property, but utterly charming and overlooking a pond with a great egret, and we even saw a baby alligator sharing the sun with three big turtles, all under majestic sprawling live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. The home is really beautifully equipped, with everything one could want for a stay of almost any length. The owner is exceptionally responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this old stone cottage!

College Athletics Trip

Very nice location and the home is in the heart of UF I would definitely stay at the property again. Very responsive to requests and questions leading into the stay. 3 bedrooms which made it convenient for our group. The property is a charming cottage type style in a great location. What more can you ask for.

Wonderful Place!

We had an awesome weekend stay for the FSU/FL football game. The house was a perfect distance. Away from the noise, but only a 15 minute walk to the stadium.
