About this property
Gator Springs ~ Close to Hospitals, Springs & UF
Weather here for vacation, business or health, we believe you`re here for important things! Things that should not include a long list of chores upon check out. Simply toss your towels in the tub, dishes in the washer and the keys back in the box! We`ll do the rest!
Bring the whole family! Pet friendly for dogs with current vaccinations and flea control.
Nestled on a wooded lot, we left much of the landscape untouched. Enjoy plenty of shade, dappled sunlight and lots of nature sounds. Inside is flooded with ample natural light as the house has lots of windows.
Unwind at the end of the day with a hot shower on the back deck then enjoy the deck and firepit as you relax under the café lights and stars.
When you decide it`s time to hit the hay, pull the blackout curtains and nestle under the quilt on a brand new queen gel mattress. You won`t want to get up but when you do... the coffee and tea area is stocked and ready for you!
We hope we`ve thought of everything but please let us know if you need more than the following:
>Plenty of fresh towels & wash cloths
>Shampoo, conditioner & body soap
>Kitchen gadgets for preparing meals & desserts!
>Mixer, mixing bowl, baking sheet, cake tins, muffin tins, measuring cups/spoons, basic spices
>Cutting boards
>Sharp knives
>Drip coffee maker, filters, cream & sugar
>Coffee, tea & cocoa
>Ironing board & iron
>Extra blankets
>Board games & cards
>Matches for the fire pit & skewers for smores!
The television is a 65” smart TV. We have an antenna but do not offer cable. Feel free to log into your own streaming services. We hope you enjoy the many choices offered by this “way-smarter-than-me” TV! If you’re looking for a special live athletic event, we suggest Gator Dockside right around the corner! Try the wings!
Send us a message for any special requests. We`ll do what we can to make them happen. We want your stay to be the very best here at Gator Springs!
Guests will enjoy the entire property minus the locked utility room on the front porch. Extended stay guests can request the washer and dryer.
Your experience and comfort while staying with us is paramount.
I’m just a text away!
Quiet neighborhood and very walkable. Walk your family to the park, to the woods, to the stadium or even to dinner!
Ride share services like Uber are available as well as public transportation. There is a bus stop at the end of the block. If you’re headed a little further to explore local springs or adventure farther to theme parks, Hwy441 and I-75 are easily accessible from the house.
There is one step from the front room to the living room area which makes our place not wheelchair friendly. Use care when stepping up and down this threshold.
Quiet hours are 10pm-7am
NO smoking or vaping INSIDE OR ON PREMISES
Park in designated areas.
Parties will not be tolerated.
Registered guests only.
For our families bringing a pet... we ask you cover the furniture with the provided linens or bring your own. We also appreciate you pick up poops. This provides a more sanitary yard for all our guests.
With all that said, ultimately, we ask you enjoy and make great memories while you’re here!
