About this property

Gator Alumni House with Private Backyard. 2 Miles From Campus & 1 Mile from I-75

This 3 bed 2 bath house was built in 2005 and is located 1 mile from I-75 & 2 miles from UF campus tucked away right off of University/Newberry Avenue.
The property now has a completely fenced in backyard, perfect for containing pets for peace of mind.
This centrally located home is a perfect place for families, alumni, groups & gameday BBQ's as well as just a quiet getaway. The house includes a fireplace, 2 desks/workspaces, a fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, a master bedroom & bath with 2 sinks, multiple shower-heads, and a large soaking tub.
The house has 3 beds (1 king, 1 queen & 1 full), 2 large reclining sofas, and air mattresses available. House is only <1 mile from North Florida Medical Center and a few miles away from UF Health/Shands.
The very private backyard has a 4 burner propane grill, charcoal grill and seating area on the back patio overlooking a spacious and private backyard that backs up against a large wooded area.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at 3525753836.
If you need any assistance, you will be speaking with me, the Owner, directly. I used to live in the house, but now live out of state and stay in the house when I am in Florida. So the house has many amenities that other rentals do not. I am not the best photographer and the pictures are an honest representation of the house. Many guests have said the house is bigger than it looks in the pictures.

About the host

Hosted by Alex

Host profile image
This house was my full-time home after I took a job in Gainesville. My job is still based out of the area, but I now work remotely and live out-of-state. I still stay at the house when I am in Florida, so it will be well stocked and have a warm, homely feel. Feel free to make yourself at home!

I am a frequent traveler. When I travel I look for a smooth check-in process, a comfortable bed, affordable price, and a welcoming place with a non-corporate feel; this is what I aim to provide to my guests.

Why they chose this property

The house is centrally located in town with quick access to major thoroughfares like 8th Ave, 23rd/16th ave, 43rd Street, and University/Newberry Avenue, allowing quick access to the interstate (I-75 is ~1 mile drive), UF campus, Santa Fe College, all of Gainesville as well as surrounding smaller towns.

What makes this property unique

I used to live in this house full time, and my family and I now stay at the house when we are in Florida, usually a few months a year. I hope you feel like more like a guest than a customer.
