We'll be back.
The house was just as described. It had everything we needed including a shampoo, conditioner and shower gel dispenser in the showers which proved to me that Jarred and Lisa thought about making things easier for their guests. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked and it was in a quiet neighborhood. We spent a week and had a great time. We will be back.

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 love how close that this property is located to Downtown, UF, and UF Health Shands Hospital. I also appreciated that it was close to grocery stores, restaurants, various nature trails, and the beautiful springs.

What makes this property unique

This home has a lot of space designed for families and guests to have an intimate experience with one another within the living room/dining room/kitchen. The home also offers privacy fencing in the backyard along with a game room for extra fun!
