Gorgeous, Historic Downtown Home – Tucked into UF!

Great location for our visit (we were doing some stuff out of town to the East too).

This was a lovely property -- clean, comfortable, within walking distance of many restaurants, and an easy drive to the campus of University of Florida. The owner was friendly and easy to reach.

We had a lovely stay over graduation weekend. The house was comfortable and well situated to Downtown Gainesville and walking distance to 4th Ave Food Park.

We had a lovely time staying at the Red House this past weekend while in Gainesville for a conference. It was super well located for our purposes. The house itself was cool and calm, very clean and tidy, and communication with our hosts was great. We'd absolutely stay there again if we have an opportunity to come back.

Proximity to campus was nice, host was very responsive. Thats about where the positives end. The road the house is on appears sketchy, stray cats live under the house across the street, house is DEFINITELY not as pictured. Exterior is cute in the pics, but its faded and looking a bit rough. Interior is very dark, lights dont help much, 3rd bedroom is just that, a bed in a closet. On the surface the home was clean. Those are all things you can absolutely live with. However we had ZERO hot water for the 2 days we were there, we reached out to the host about it but it was never addressed even though we did get a response back. Not luke warm, we showered in ice cold water for 2 days. The neighbor is obviously a rock star in the making because night 1 his band played for hours but thankfully all that noise stopped before dinner time. The second night however the music played until 3am and the houses are so close together you could hear every word and the bass vibrated the walls. It was absolutely horrible. The final straw was coming home from dinner the 2nd night and upon entering the middle bedroom multiple roaches were walking across the floor, as i went to get a paper towel to kill them they scurried across the floor and ran into the wall. There is no baseboards on the walls so who knows how many roaches are actually living in those walls. I would look elsewhere if i were you, I know my family will never be back.

We thought we canceled. We arrived at the rental on 31 July. The appearance was nothing like the online presentation. Also the neighborhood was terrible and we were very uncomfortable. We found somewhere safe to stay. I really feel we should be reimbursed something. For one thing, no cleaning was required. Vrbo should drop this listing.

Easy ride to hospital and walk to restaurant

We were in town for graduation and found the location to be great. The directions and description were as listed and was convenient to get to campus.

This house was very quaint, comfortable and inviting. Very clean. Communication with owner and instructions provided, excellent! Location great as well! Highly recommend !

Lovely vintage home near downtown Gainesville. Very easy to find and no issues with parking. There was plenty of room for our family of 3 to spread out or be together. Very comfortable beds and nice large couch. Will definitely consider staying here on my next trip to visit my Gator.

Amazing location just a short walk from downtown. Place was clean, large, had everything we needed. Will definitely be looking to stay here again!

I was in Gainesville for masterclasses at the music department of U of Florida. This was the PERFECT place to call home while here. Maria provided all we needed in a charming setting. I would definitely come back!
