We stayed here while bringing our family to Gainesville for a Gator game and had a great experience. The location was excellent and very convenient for everything we wanted to do. The host was extremely accommodating, responsive, and made our stay very easy.The home is definitely one of those places where you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover—the exterior may not make the best first impression, but the inside is very nice, comfortable, clean, and well maintained. We had plenty of room for our family and really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again for another Gator weekend!

Wow, thank you for such a fantastic review! We're so happy your family enjoyed the Gator game weekend and found the home spacious and comfortable. For future guests: don't let the exterior fool you—this home is a hidden gem! Inside, you'll find plenty of room for the whole family, a clean and well-maintained space, and a location that's unbeatable for UF events, campus visits, and everything Gainesville has to offer. We pride ourselves on being responsive and accommodating hosts, and we'd be honored to host you for your next Gator weekend. See you soon—Go Gators!

College tour and game

We came in for the college tour and stayed for the game. This house is the perfect distance to walk to the university and restaurants. The outside of the house looked sketchy ……old Florida housing…..but the inside was clean and had great charm. The beds were super comfortable. It had everything we needed to cook and feed teenagers. Close enough to walk to things and experience UF . Would definitely recommend if you are coming in for a game.

Convenient location and Great Communication

Property manager provides detailed information for check in and access. Restaurants, grocery stores are within walking distance. Neighborhood is dog friendly (leashed). There are stations all around that provide bags and disposal so you don't have to walk around with your pet poo bag. One morning I was delighted by sighting a family of Pileated Woodpeckers nesting in the huge Live Oak on the corner.
