Stayed the night here on our way further south Fl, this place was in a great location! Super cute inside and out, the owner has thought of everything you may need to accommodate. I would definitely recommend to others.

Best Option for your Gainesville Visit!

I came here with my brother to visit extended family from California, and being hotel snobs, we knew we wouldn't find something that met our expectations at a standard hotel. Instead, we took a chance on a VRBO property and were very happy that we did! Conveniently located in a safe and quiet neighborhood, this four-bedroom, two-bath "bungalow" has all the amenities of a 5-star hotel. The master bed and bath are especially lux, and I felt like I was at a resort on the California Coast, a la Bacarra or Terranea. Hakeem went out of his way to ensure we were happy and all our needs were met, and was very prompt in communicating with us. The beds are super comfy, everything was spotless and we were very grateful for the Keurig for coffee in the morning. The only intel I'd share is that the 4th bedroom is off the master bath, so if you're sharing the place with littles, this would be perfect for you. We ended up not using this room and honestly didn't even discover it initially. Also, the lock box is a digital keypad on the door, which is easy to use, but if you're old like we are, don't get confused and look for an old-school lock box; this place is high-tech. The only issue we had was figuring this out as there is no light on when you get to the property so we wandered around a little. You will love this adorable little space; it may be the best thing in Gainesville! (besides our Grandmother, obviously ;-)

Perfectly Appointed & Pristine

Everything about this stay and this place was pristine and professional. There isn't a single thing you will want and not find in the place. Great location across from a park. Also loved the ample parking.
