About this property

Peaceful and pet friendly, close to hospitals and UF

Super close to campus but more importantly, all three hospitals! We welcome you to seek refuge here while navigating medical procedures. It would honor the home owners that you be here to find peace and wellness. Of course we also welcome visitors coming for all reasons!

We are literally Not Too Far...for "R&R", a term my father used all the time. Short for "Rest & Recuperation". Both of our parents are retired nurses. Back in the day, when it was ok to offer kindness without worry, Mom & Dad would offer R&R in our home. Folks would stay with us for a short time after their hospital stays. It wasn't unusual to come home from school and meet a new face! Each of our guests became a part of our family even if only for a short while. This was our family home and we continue to offer R&R in honor of Mom & Dad.

Btw…Mom & Dad lived here for nearly 40 years. They are now living nearly responsibility free, across town in a retirement community!

So, more about the house… other than the garage, you have complete access to the whole house and fenced yard.

We hope we've thought of everything but please let us know if you need more than the following:

>Plenty of fresh towels & wash cloths
>Shampoo, conditioner & body soap
>Kitchen gadgets for preparing meals
>Utensils & basic spices
>Cutting boards
>Sharp knives
>Drip & Kcup coffee maker, filters, cream & sugar
>Coffee, tea & creamer
>Microwave
>Ironing board & iron
>Extra blankets
>Board games & cards

The television is a 65” smart TV. Feel free to log into your own streaming services. We hope you enjoy the many choices offered by this “way-smarter-than-me” TV! We do not offer cable so if you’re looking for a special live athletic event, we suggest Gator Dockside across the street or hike on up to the stadium! Both a short walk and especially fun on game days!

We have a fenced in yard for your pet to explore and ask that you pickup after your pet. Also enjoy walking the neighborhood with your leashed pup. At the very back of our neighborhood is a park with equipment, community garden and trails.

It might also be important to mention, we have a designated desk space. Located in the 3rd bedroom.

Send us a message for any special requests. We'll do what we can to make them happen. We want your stay to be the very best.

You have access to the entire house minus the garage.

Your experience and comfort while staying with us is paramount.

I’m just a text away!
