This is a wonderful property and the host was extremely helpful, both before our arrival and during our time there. I stayed there with two colleagues during a conference at the university. The kitchen was perfect to have a lovely hot breakfast each morning and we were in easy walking distance from our work and restaurants. The beds are very comfortable and the surroundings are very quiet. We had a fabulous time and hope to rent again if work gets us back there.

The decor inside was ok! The location was convenient. It's pretty run down from the outside. We were excited about the pool but it was chained shut and they didn't let us know it wasn't available. Our kids were so disappointed! The floor looked clean but our feet got filthy after 2 minutes, they have clearly never mopped. There were bugs everywhere, little ants crawling on my computer and in my drink. When I reached out to the management company, they were very polite in their responses and apologetic but suggested I take care of the bugs by doing something with the sink instead of offering to refund some of the money we spent on the place, or sending the pest control straight away. The beds were comfy and the couch pulled out in a cool way but it was quite hard and uncomfortable to sleep on.

Nice job lace

A nice place to stay while attending a class at the hospital. Just bring a long charger cord for your phone as the outlets in the bedroom are a long way from the bed.

We enjoyed our visit to Gainesville and staying at this cute VRBO. We were missing some necessities, and the admin was very responsive to take care of them. The place was clean, comfortable, and we appreciated the kitchen being well-stocked. We did read a review before saying to bring an ext. cord for the bedroom bc the outlets weren’t close to the nightstands, and we’re glad we did that. We also appreciated the big TV and the pool being so close to the condo. Our kids enjoyed movie times and the pool. Definitely recommend.

Turkey Weekend Football Fun!

Wonderful property with a great location for the walking to the football game. Property was clean and linens on the beds were super-soft. A parking tag was missing, but ended up not being an issue. Also, extra set of linens/blanket for futon in living room would be nice for people in the future. Thanks for the yummy box of chocolates, our family enjoyed! :)

Cigarette smell but good customer service

The property appeared clean and nicely appointed. However, it has a very strong stale cigarette odor. The flooring is also broken in several places with pieces of flooring sticking up. We did not stay due to asthma issues but VRBO refunded us readily which we appreciated.

Thank you for your review Audrey. We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you encountered during your visit. The stale odor and flooring concerns are unacceptable and not reflective of the standards we strive to maintain. We’ve already taken steps to investigate and resolve these problems to ensure they do not affect future guests.
