About the host

Hosted by Kayla Susan Sosnow

Host profile image
I moved to Gainesville nearly 30 years ago after traveling the country visiting all the cool communities I had heard of but never been to before. Gainesville keeps growing, but still maintains a small-town feel in many ways. I have grown roots here, adapted to the climate, and become pretty successful at growing peach and plum trees in my backyard!

Why they chose this property

Ever since purchasing my first rental property in 2004 I wanted to own Summit House condominiums across from the hospital. They weren't making housing any closer, and they still haven't! I'm delighted to be part of providing short to mid-term housing to medical guests.

What makes this property unique

My condo building is at the front of the community, making it the easiest to find and access, and the closest walk to UF Health, the VA, and Shands. Many guests take comfort in those safety aspects. There is also a bus stop right out front, and the laundry room and pool just steps away. Plus the location allows for walking to great fast food and sit down dining options and nearby drug stores.

Moreover, I take pride in thinking ahead of my guests' needs, providing things like umbrellas, pool towels, sleep masks, earplugs, a white noise machine, and toiletries you may have forgotten. In the moment you need them, these things can make all the difference. To me, it's about providing a top-quality experience.
