The house was very roomy and comfortable, it felt like home away from home. The hostess is over the top excellent and willing to accommodate your specific needs. She knew we had travelled such a long distance and let us have the house early to rest

The host family was wonderful! They communicated well from day one prior to check in. My family had plenty of space to enjoy themselves! The screened in back patio was my grandmothers favorite spot all 3 days. The home is beautiful. We had children from age 3-18 and everyone was happy! Any questions we had were always responded to in a timely manner! We would definitely book again.

About the host

Hosted by Brianna

Host profile image
We’re a fun-loving husband and wife with three little ones who love adventure and creating special memories together. We take pride in sharing our homes with families just like ours — people who value comfort, laughter, and connection. Hosting isn’t just business for us; it’s about helping others experience unforgettable moments and feel completely at home during their stay.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it’s the perfect mix of peace, safety, and convenience. It’s family-friendly, close to everything Gainesville has to offer, and surrounded by nature and good energy. We love that it’s just minutes from the University of Florida, downtown restaurants, and the springs — yet still quiet enough to relax, unwind, and feel like you’re on your own private getaway.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique is that it’s truly an Oasis of Fun! From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into your own private resort. The backyard is packed with activities for all ages — a half-court basketball court, swing set, zip line, trampoline, bikes, outdoor games, and a sparkling pool with a covered lanai for relaxing or dining in the shade. Inside, you’ll find comfort, space, and everything you need to feel right at home. It’s the kind of place where families laugh, friends reconnect, and unforgettable memories are made every day.
