Great home!

We had a great stay! We are a small company based in Atlanta and were in town for work and really enjoyed our stay at this home. It is well stocked for extended stays, plenty of space for us to spread out, the beds were comfortable, and the location was great. I would stay here again.

Cute and comfortable home within walking distance to campus. Enjoyed a long family weekend with daughter, her roommate and her family. Plenty of space and amenities for family and friends for dinner after the football game. Would definitely book again the next time we’re in town!

Cool house close to campus

This is a great older house on the north side of campus. While it is on a busy road, you cannot hear the traffic from the home. It was a great home-base for a weekend of campus events.

Texas A&M vs Florida Game

The house was great. It was in a central location to be able to get to downtown as well as to campus and the football stadium. All of the amenities were great. We had two couples and had plenty of room within the house . Would highly recommend this to other people looking for a relaxed centrally, located house in Gainesville.

UF college visit

We rented for a few days to visit the UGLF campus for our daughter. Location and 8 blocks to campus and food was wonderful. The house layout and decor is basic but worked fine for how we needed it to and was reflected in the price per night. Check-in was seamless through VRBO and Evolve. Highly recommend as a base for being out and about in Gainesville!

Family weekend

Gainesville is the half-way point between my family in north Florida and south Florida; 4 of us (ages 40-80) met at the house for a weekend visit. The house was much nicer than expected and was a good choice for our stay. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were large enough for us to have plenty of personal space. The charging station in the living room was very convenient. We especially liked the dining room that looks out on the back patio & landscape, we spent a lot of time around the table talking, laughing, playing cards, and of course dining.

Great Location

First off, that s was very easy to book and any question I had was responded to very quickly. I stayed there with two if my brothers and one of my sister's. Each of the guys took a room & my sister and I shared a room. Spacious bedrooms. Two great bathrooms with a walk-in shower in each. We had my niece and her boyfriend over to visit one evening. Plenty of room in the living room to sit comfortably and visit. We loved the area outback that overlooks the patio. We sat out there each morning and had our doughnuts and coffee! Great Location close to the hustle & bustle of Gainesville! We would definitely stay there again

This house is a gem!

Our family of 6 stayed in this charming house over Halloween and the day after. The property is in a perfect location, close to the University, Publix, and many restaurants. It was immaculate on arrival, everything was spotless. The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and nice linens. The bathrooms, too, were spacious with lots of towels (in our experience mane vacation rentals do not have rnoiough. The kitchen was stocked with granola bars, chips, and everything you need to make coffee. But the absolute standouts of this house was the charming decor and the outdoor area/yard. Our grandkids played out in the yard for hours. We loved this house and hope to return. Thank you so much!

Toller Aufenthalt in Gainesville mit kleinen Abstrichen

Das Haus ist genau wie beschrieben sehr sauber, gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Toll waren auch die vielen Extras, wie Kaffee, heiße Schokolade, Gewürze, Wasser und Duschgel, Shampoo, etc. Die University of Florida ist fußläufig in 15-20 min erreichbar. Der einzige negative Punkt war der Verkehrslärm, weil das Haus an 2 Hauptstraßen liegt. Das war bei der Buchung leider nicht erkennbar.
