About the host
Hosted by Brianna
We’re a fun-loving husband and wife with three little ones who love adventure and creating special memories together. We take pride in sharing our homes with families just like ours — people who value comfort, laughter, and connection. Hosting isn’t just business for us; it’s about helping others experience unforgettable moments and feel completely at home during their stay.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it’s the perfect mix of peace, safety, and convenience. It’s family-friendly, close to everything Gainesville has to offer, and surrounded by nature and good energy. We love that it’s just minutes from the University of Florida, downtown restaurants, and the springs — yet still quiet enough to relax, unwind, and feel like you’re on your own private getaway.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property unique is that it’s truly an Oasis of Fun! From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into your own private resort. The backyard is packed with activities for all ages — a half-court basketball court, swing set, zip line, trampoline, bikes, outdoor games, and a sparkling pool with a covered lanai for relaxing or dining in the shade. Inside, you’ll find comfort, space, and everything you need to feel right at home. It’s the kind of place where families laugh, friends reconnect, and unforgettable memories are made every day.
