Very spacious clean home away from home
My daughters and I needed a place to stay as we were displaced from Hurricane Milton. The house was great. We had plenty of room, there are a variety of games available. The location made it easy to get onto the main roads. There is a very large backyard with a nice deck and bistro lights which made the stay even more home like. I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic House
House was extremely clean and well stocked. House was spacious and was just like being at home for our long stay. We brought our 2 German Shepherds who loved running around in the yard and exploring. House is very close to UF and made the back and forth to there very easy. We will definitely try and book the house again when we go up for weekends to see our Gator.

Great location for visiting UF
We made reservations for this location as it was a short drive to UF. Contact with the management was smooth and we received all check in information the day of arrival. The instructions were on spot on and made it easy to find the home. The house was clean with plenty of room for a large family. Has everything you need to cook a meal and plenty of games for kids/teenagers. We found lots of restaurants around the area and Publix and pharmacy closed by. Great place to stay in Gainesville.

We usually stay in hotels when we visit our son at UF, but we decided to rent a house so our dog could join us this trip. It was clean, and looked just like the pictures. The backyard was perfect for our dog and we enjoyed a bonfire each night. The owners were very communicative and the neighbors were friendly. We will definitely be back in the future!

Also, I’m from Pa, so having a Wawa around the corner was wonderful. The patio out back is such a beautiful space and we loved the swing hanging from the big, beautiful tree.
