Orange and blue game.

Great layout for multiple family groups. Good location. Quiet street. Very relaxing back yard with fire pit and fountain. Older house but clean. Only issue was pool table was swapped for foosball. Not a big deal but was expecting pool table.

Long weekend stay.

We stayed at this home for a graduation at UF with our family, friends and dog. The place is well laid out with plenty of room. The rooms are a split plan so there are two bedrooms and a bathroom across the house which was nice for our friends for a little quite. The kitchen has all the basics, with a stocked coffee bar and a grill outside. The home was clean and comfortable. The location was a straight shot to UF and well located to Publix and other places to eat. The backyard is large and fenced and was perfect for our dog. We used the fire pit outside to make s’mores. My only suggestion would be adding a hot tub to enjoy the outside in the evening. We would definitely stay again .
