Gator Springs ~ Close to Hospitals, Springs & UF
Weather here for vacation, business or health, we believe you're here for important things! Things that should not include a long list of chores upon check out. Simply toss your towels in the tub, dishes in the washer and the keys back in the box! We'll do the rest!
Bring the whole family! Pet friendly for dogs with current vaccinations and flea control.
Nestled on a wooded lot, we left much of the landscape untouched. Enjoy plenty of shade, dappled sunlight and lots of nature sounds. Inside is flooded with ample natural light as the house has lots of windows.
Unwind at the end of the day with a hot shower on the back deck then enjoy the deck and firepit as you relax under the café lights and stars.
When you decide it's time to hit the hay, pull the blackout curtains and nestle under the quilt on a brand new queen gel mattress. You won't want to get up but when you do... the coffee and tea area is stocked and ready for you!
We hope we've thought of everything but please let us know if you need more than the following:
>Plenty of fresh towels & wash cloths >Shampoo, conditioner & body soap >Kitchen gadgets for preparing meals & desserts! >Mixer, mixing bowl, baking sheet, cake tins, muffin tins, measuring cups/spoons, basic spices >Cutting boards >Sharp knives >Drip coffee maker, filters, cream & sugar >Coffee, tea & cocoa >Ironing board & iron >Extra blankets >Board games & cards >Matches for the fire pit & skewers for smores!
The television is a 65” smart TV. We have an antenna but do not offer cable. Feel free to log into your own streaming services. We hope you enjoy the many choices offered by this “way-smarter-than-me” TV! If you’re looking for a special live athletic event, we suggest Gator Dockside right around the corner! Try the wings!
Send us a message for any special requests. We'll do what we can to make them happen. We want your stay to be the very best here at Gator Springs!
Guests will enjoy the entire property minus the locked utility room on the front porch. Extended stay guests can request the washer and dryer.

Clean and Comfortable home!
Home was immaculate, extremely comfortable, and well stocked. Cooked in both nights and had everything we needed. Really enjoyed the gas fire pit in the backyard. The TV was amazing for watching sports and shows! Makes me want to upgrade ours at home! Lisa was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. She clearly takes pride in her home as it was so clean! Would stay again!

My family and I came to town unfortunately for a funeral. This place really helped give us a chance to spend time together comfortably as a family. Very neat, comfortable, and updated home. The rear patio is a great sit around area . Not far from anything great place
