The kitchen is large and open with white shaker soft-shut cabinets, stainless steel sink and appliances. There are new energy efficient windows throughout the home and new sliding glass door that leads out to a new 28' x 28' wooden deck where you can't miss the wooden swing hanging from a majestic oak tree and hanging bistro lights in the backyard.

For those looking to stay in, there is a 65-inch flatscreen smart TV in the living room, a 60-inch flatscreen smart TV in the media room, and a 55-inch flatscreen smart TV in the master bedroom; all with access to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. In addition, a stocked kitchen is available for guests to cook and dine at their convenience.

Great Property & Close To Everything
This was a great property. It's close to everything. My family enjoyed the provided games in the house. It was in a quiet neighborhood and overall was a peaceful stay. The owner had great communication and will try to stay again next time we are visiting the area.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Becks

Host profile image
I moved to Gainesville in 2006 to become a gator grad and ended up staying because I fell in love with the city and all it has to offer. I am an avid traveler and enjoy going on outdoor adventures. I'm also a fitness junkie and a huge foodie who loves to try new things!

I am a passionate entrepreneur who owns a personal training business in town called Swamp Fitness. I am also a Realtor and real estate investor. I thrive on having a positive impact on the lives of others.

I love this saying: "Progress not perfection".

My goal as a host is to make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed during you stay. :)

Why they chose this property

I really loved the feeling of being in the backyard with the beautiful oak tree with the swing attached along with the large wooden deck. On top of that, everything is updated to be modern and very nice with an open concept inside. It's perfect for a large group that wants to get away for a little while!

What makes this property unique

The large wooden deck with bistro lighting underneath the oak tree offers an enjoyable experience in the backyard. It's walking distance to a wonderful local coffee shop called Coffee Culture, Winn Dixie Supermarket, a nature trail, and much more!
