Perfect for family

What a beautiful home and it was perfect for our family to stay together while in Gainesville celebrating my daughter's wedding. The host is so accommodating and let us hold a small gathering the night before the event.

Very well done rehab of an old house. Very clean, well furnished and not overly decorated. Would be an amazing spot for a football weekend with friends & family. A little further from campus than we thought and the neighborhood is ‘transitional’ and the house is right on a main road (front bedroom is loud). We would stay there again as we have at least two more years (with our daughter) at UF!

Great house with lots of charm!

We had a great stay at The Key! We had 12 guests staying in the house and we had plenty of space. The house was clean, nicely renovated, and there was plenty of parking in the back. The hosts were very responsive with check in/ out procedures, additional information, and with correcting small issues we had during the stay. We stayed here for a Gator game and it was a short Uber ride to downtown or midtown. Thanks again!
