Fantastic house, very clean and well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay and will absolutely do it again. Host communication was great. If you go make sure to hit Flat Fish Donuts which is a short walk down 3rd Street, you won’t be disappointed.
We enjoyed our stay in the adorable "Peach House". Host was fabulous with communication and helpful with local restaurants, etc. The beds so comfy. Very clean and had everything we could ever need! Would definitely stay here again!
Great place. Very home. Well maintained. Comfortable. Clean. Beautiful renovated kitchen and baths. Lovely porch and backyard, well kept. Great communication with host. Close to UF. Quiet residential area. Will be staying here again.
We enjoyed our stay! The house was extremely clean and the rooms were comfortable. The bathrooms and the kitchen are modern and bright. Jennifer was fantastic throughout the process and communicated with us and responded to our inquiries immediately. Very convenient to all things UF. We will definitely stay again. Much better than the numerous hotels we have stayed at in the area.
The property was amazing! Extremely clean, well stocked with extra towels, comfy blankets on the couch and beds, plus the location is convenient too absolutely everything.
The Peach House was everything and more. Jennifer was a wonderful hostess and very receptive to any questions we had. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed was provided. She left coffee which was a great surprise since we were in need of a cup after our early morning flight. We would stay here again.
such a nice place, so close to downtown and campus in an old florida neighborhood with wonderful trees. The place is rare combo of bungalow yet surprisingly huge inside, and very clean - has everything and makes you feel like bragging to everyone else staying in hotels how much smarter than them you are !
Peach House was perfect! Very clean and comfortable. Great location. Quiet neighborhood. Host was very responsive. We would absolutely stay there again.
This was one our best VRBO stays! The property was beautiful inside and out! We only used the king bed, and it was so comfortable! Jennifer was great keeping in contact with us and we hope to stay there again!

Thanks for your feedback. We are so happy you enjoyed the house and found the bed comfortable. Thanks for being guests. You’re both welcome back anytime.
The Peach House was the perfect location for me and my family for our 2025 UF Graduation Weekend! Centrally located to UF, restaurants and grocery stores. We were never more than 5 min away from our activities.
This is the perfect place to stay for 2-4 people when visiting Gainesville. The Peach House is in an older neighborhood, but it’s very clean and modern - and in walking distance to downtown (about a mile). Communication with the host was excellent. We’ll definitely stay here again!
Host had amazing communication and everything was exactly as it should be. Close to UF, and downtown. Great place to stay with family and/or friends. Highly recommend the Peach house!
Jennifer’s house was clean, comfortable, very well equipped and extremely charming! Nice location, quiet neighborhood, spacious rooms, comfortable beds. The house was a great place to stay in Gainesville. We hope to be back!
