Great House Close to UF

Fantastic stay with a lot of amenities and nicely stocked cabinets. It was close to UF (we were there for a graduation). We had two people that had mobility issues and the house accommodated them.

Beautiful newly renovated home

My wife and I wanted a kitchen and a comfortable place to stay near campus. Pictures looked great on the internet so booked the house. The house was amazing. Exactly as set forth in the pictures. Decorated beautifully in a very nice neighborhood. Minutes from campus. Enjoyed the stay and would stay in the house again.

Great location for a medical visit to UF/Shands

I had medical procedures scheduled at the UF/Shands hospitals and needed a based for my family and for me to recuperate from surgery while going to appointments. This house was perfect. The local is convenient to just about everything in Gainesville including Shands. It made my recuperation much easier with my family around me. The only suggestion I have is to upgrade the wifi capacity. We are a very online family, with everyone having at least two wifi devices. So we pushed the wifi beyond its limits several times.

Great Location for Graduation, but owner can be challenging

My family and I rented this home graduation weekend for a monumental occasion; my mother was earning her Master's Degree. When we arrived at the property, several bags of mulch were sitting in front of the home. The mulch created an eye sore. The home's interior was very nice, decorated well, and in excellent condition—no complaints whatsoever regarding the interior of the house. We originally booked the home for five (5) people; ultimately, only three (3) individuals stayed overnight. An issue arose when we held a graduation dinner for my mother. We invited a few of our local family members to join. The dinner lasted about three (3) hours, and then our family members departed. The following day we received an email from the owner stating that she had been watching us from the ring camera and requesting we readjust our reservation to pay for every guest that visitors the home whether they stay overnight or not. I completely disagreed with this position. Renters should not be charged for visitors who stop by for dinner. I asked the owner to call me regarding the issue but never received a callback. If you rent here, be mindful of this. Also, be aware that the owner is watching you from the ring doorbell. We were so excited for my mother; however, this put a damper on the occasion.
