Great Homebase for Gator Game
Home was very clean and had all essentials needed for our UCF (son & fiancé) vs Gator (Mom & Dad) weekend! Only 20 minutes to Stadium area and easy escape after game! We didn’t get to use fire pit area, but looked like a fun hangout area in cooler weather. Easy checkin and comfortable stay!! One caveat: on the VRBO app, the price per night was discounted by $20, but during checkout that price was not reflected. I went back and forth with host, who said she had no control over the site. I looked again and the discounted advertised price is not reflected when you get to the checkout page. We booked and paid original price since options were limited in our desired area.

Cozy and perfect
We were very pleased with the property!!!! The kitchen was well stocked, the backyard was nice and the rooms were clean and cozy. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. We were in town for UF parents weekend and we loved being close, but slightly away from the crowds.

Nicely Appointed Retreat
Lovely house with all the necessities and conveniences. Loved the coffee bar! Enjoyed the privacy of the backyard for relaxing. Walking distance to Main Street and a short drive to the bike trails of San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park.

Quiet and Clean
We have rented 6 houses/condos in the Alachua/Gainesville area over the last 14 months and I can say without a doubt this was the best of the best. It’s well appointed, nicely furnished and decorated, smells wonderful, nice yard and fire pit, beds are comfy, and it’s just so quiet. It was also our closest option for biking at San Felasco. We will stay again.
