We booked this house for multiple Florida baseball weekends (wish the baseball was going a bit better!) and couldn’t be happier with the house and the host. The house has everything you need, including a great yard if you have a dog. If you are coming to Gainesville, I highly recommend you consider this house. Great place. Greater value. Even greater stay. And even greater host. Book now!

My family was in town for the Florida-Ole Miss baseball series and had the absolute pleasure of staying at this property. Conveniently located to everything you need, the house oozes old Florida charm. Bonus - the wife enjoyed the complimentary coffee items! But what truly made it was the host, who proves the notion that good things come to good people. Ananda is a good egg, and through kindness and communication has earned our family’s business for as long as we are welcome. We are scheduled for a few more stays the rest of the baseball season and can’t wait to return. Thank you Ananda for your hospitality and everyone out there do yourself a favor by staying at this house when you need a place in Gainesville.

The house is very cute, everything we needed. Our 2 pups were very comfortable. It is very "downtown" Gainesville, but we did not have any issues.

We had another wonderful stay! This was our second visit to this house, and it was just as great as the first. The home is clean, comfortable, and has everything we need for a relaxing getaway. We especially appreciate that it’s pet-friendly—it’s so nice to be able to bring our dog along. The location is perfect, and the hosts make everything easy. We’re already looking forward to coming back again!
