Sleeps 15 | Walk to UF, Downtown + 50+ Restaurants
An Unbeatable Location Between UF & Downtown Gainesville
You won`t find many Gainesville homes that combine this location, this much space, and accommodations for up to 15 guests. Stay in the heart of Gainesville`s Innovation District, perfectly positioned between the University of Florida and downtown Gainesville, with some of the city`s most popular restaurants, coffee shops and gathering spots within easy reach.
This is a location made for enjoying Gainesville. Walk to Midpoint Park & Eatery, practically across the street, or grab your morning coffee at Opus Coffee just down SW 2nd Avenue. You`re also close to Karma Cream and downtown favorite Wyatt`s Coffee.
And, of course, no Gainesville stay is complete without a visit to the iconic Swamp Restaurant, a destination in its own right for generations of Gator fans, UF alumni, students and families.
Head toward downtown and you`ll find even more Gainesville favorites, including Dragonfly Sushi & Sake Company, The Top, Harry`s Seafood Bar & Grille, Flaco`s Cuban Bakery, Loosey`s and an ever-growing collection of local restaurants, bars and coffee shops.
In the other direction? The University of Florida. (four blocks to the edge of campus; one mile walk to the stadium)
For football weekends, graduation, UF family visits, weddings and group trips, this location is exceptionally hard to beat.
Space for the Whole Group
The location may get your attention, but the size of this home makes it truly special.
Up to 15 guests can stay together under one roof, making this an outstanding choice for extended families, groups of friends, Gator weekends, wedding parties, reunions and multi-family trips.
Instead of splitting your group among hotel rooms or multiple rentals, everyone can stay together while still having room to spread out.
The home`s classic red-brick exterior is full of Gainesville character, while the interior is bright, spacious and comfortable. High ceilings, beautiful architectural arches, oversized windows and abundant natural light give the home a sense of space that you simply don`t expect until you step inside.
The bedrooms are generously sized and thoughtfully furnished for a comfortable stay. Multiple sleeping areas give larger groups flexibility, while the layout provides plenty of room to gather without feeling crowded.
Gather, Cook & Relax Together
The spacious kitchen is fully equipped for everything from quick breakfasts before heading to campus to game-day spreads and family dinners.
A large dining area gives everyone a place to gather, while additional counter seating provides even more room for coffee, meals and conversation.
Throughout the home, you`ll find the space and comfort that make traveling with a large group easier: plenty of sleeping accommodations, gathering areas, natural light and room to actually enjoy being together.
