This is the second time seeing at this property and we love this home! It is very well equipped and close to everything university of Florida. Would highly recommend this property in every way.
Wonderful stay in this well equipped and beautiful home! Close to campus. Will stay here again for sure. Owners extremely responsive and accommodating.
We had a wonderful stay! The house is absolutely gorgeous, well appointed, fully stocked and beautifully decorated! It is centrally located and easy to get to. Narayan was an amazing host. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!!
We were delighted with the house. Everyone had wonderful sleeping accommodations. Every inch of the property was as described, (rare,) with a charming decor & in absolutely pristine condition. Our host was very responsive to every inquiry. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
My bridesmaids and I stayed here the night before my wedding, which was held at a venue right around the corner. The host was super nice and available, and the house was very clean and organized. Perfect place!
We stayed here while moving our daughter into the University of Florida. The home is very nice and comfortable. The reality matches the pictures. The location to everything we needed to do is great. You will also never rent from a nicer, more responsive host.

Barry, you are such a wonderfully kind person! We would be delighted to host you and your loved ones anytime 💫
My family and I had the best stay! Everything about the property is fantastic. My son just started at UF, so I'm happy we'll have lots of opportunities for future stays. A VRBO property doesn't get better than this one!
We loved staying at this property, we came all the way from Sarasota to try the Springs, we definitely had a great time and host was very communicative.

We’re so happy you and your family loved the house! Wonderful that you enjoyed the iconic springs nearby. Come back anytime!
We came to town for work and it felt like a vacation! The house was just as described and more. Our host was amazing! Very attentive and easy to communicate with! We have never had a host vacation or work that made us feel more at home! The attention to detail in making us feel welcome was off the charts. A welcome note and chocolates upon arrival and the starter toiletries, chefs kiss! If I could give 20 stars I would! We had a large group and there was plenty of room and everything was stocked to accommodate! There isn’t one thing I can complain about! You won’t be sorry if you book this property! The location is great and the neighborhood is quiet and close to everything! The street is a bit busy at times but the pros faaaar out way this one con! Also a side note…. Harry’s sea food and the original Sonny’s bbq are must during your stay and they are close by. Awesome place to stay! Defiantly recommend and will stay again if we are back in this area! Thank you Narayan and family!!
Great property. They had lots of beds and so close to UF. They had some snacks and chocolates waiting for us, which was really nice. The owner was so friendly. I would stay here again

Brenda was a great guest. She was easy to communicate with, kind and respected our house rules. We’d happily host her anytime.
Went to visit our daughter for a birthday weekend. The house was nicely decorated and clean. The check in and check out were very easy. Would definitely return on future trips.
We really enjoyed staying here. Quiet street. Close to downtown and eateries. Owners are very thoughtful toward the comfort and ease of guests. We appreciated coffee and tea supplied since we arrived late at night. Very beautiful home. We would definitely return.
This was such a wonderful home, absolutely pristine and great location. We absolutely did not want to leave, plenty of space for everyone to relax. All amenities were provided, the house was quiet as was the neighborhood. Recommend 💯 percent.
House is conveniently located to downtown and UF with plenty space for all the people it can hold and comfortable beds. It is a House that the host clearly pays attention to all details.
It is a bit noisy from the cars that go through the road…
We stayed at the property 11/15-17 2024. It was outstanding. House is great. Location is ideal for easy in and out, but close enough to campus. Plenty of room for 8 adults (and still more sleep space if you need it). Kitchen well set up. Backyard large with a great patio to enjoy morning coffee. We will be back. SuperHost!
Fabulous property on all fronts!!! Clean, beautifully decorated, had everything we could possibly need (including sleep sound machines in each room), comfortable beds (and we are picky!), and a beautiful backyard. Everything was exactly like the photos. We were sad our visit was only one night, and we can't wait to return. My son is going to be a Gator, so we hope to stay at this property many more times. The host and person who cleans the property were so wonderful and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We had a great overnight stay at this comfy home. The place is EXACTLY as pictured and even better. Very nice and well throughout decorations throughout. They even had a pack and play for my baby which was a great find. The place is quite and central to UF campus. Only thing we noticed was that the main bedroom was warmer in comparison to the rest of the house which we mentioned to the host and he promptly replied that they would look into it. overall 5 stars and would def stay there again!
