    The perfect location and house layout for our family and bridesmaids. Highlights were the game room with pacman game, foosball and back yard being totally fenced in for children to play. Easy trip to grocery stores.For our use, kitchen was well equipped for our needs except for only 4 forks. Easy to solve with purchasing disposable forks. coffee bar was very nice.The only improvements I would make would be access to extra bath linens, ie each person having bath, hand and wash cloth each. Bath mat in each bathroom. We made it work though. House keeping could do a better job cleaning, dusting and cleaning bathrooms.

    We enjoyed our stay in Gainesville! It is very convenient to the University of Florida. We had a minor plumbing issue during our stay and the host/owner had it resolved the next day. The host promptly communicated with us and got things working properly

    Great stay. Plenty of space and not too far from campus. Plenty of restaurants and amenities nearby. The nature trail was close by as well. Overall, a great stay!

    Rented to attend a family wedding, plenty of space for all family members. Owner was gracious to provide 2 extra folding tables and chairs to be able to have a big sit down family dinner. Nice and quiet neighborhood and close to everything.

    Great layout for multiple family groups. Good location. Quiet street. Very relaxing back yard with fire pit and fountain. Older house but clean. Only issue was pool table was swapped for foosball. Not a big deal but was expecting pool table.

    This property was a perfect place for a weekend get together with friends. It is close to the university and surrounding restaurants/shopping. Plenty of space for everyone to retreat or gather.

    We stayed at this home for a graduation at UF with our family, friends and dog. The place is well laid out with plenty of room. The rooms are a split plan so there are two bedrooms and a bathroom across the house which was nice for our friends for a little quite. The kitchen has all the basics, with a stocked coffee bar and a grill outside. The home was clean and comfortable. The location was a straight shot to UF and well located to Publix and other places to eat. The backyard is large and fenced and was perfect for our dog. We used the fire pit outside to make s’mores. My only suggestion would be adding a hot tub to enjoy the outside in the evening. We would definitely stay again .
