Great stay at the Oasis
We had an extended stay at the Oasis and the place took good care of us. Weather it was 40 degrees at night or close to 9o at the end of the day we were in comfort. The home is spacious with an open plan and close to everything. You could not ask for a more centrally located home in Gainesville Florida. Directly across the street from Loblolly Park for long nature hikes and only 20 minutes of walking to the campus stadium. Maybe 30 minutes walking to Butler Plaza. It was great for getting steps in. There is a roomy kitchen and game room as well and a well appointed pool and pool area. Next time we want to be there in summer to use the pool as it was a chilly spring weather wise. also wanted to mention the internet speed was great for work meetings and streaming. Thanks Oasis, Jarred & Lisa for taking care of us.

Beautiful home, perfect for a family!
The Oasis was absolutely perfect. So great for a family and my teens were content staying in the entire time we were in Gainesville! The pool was lovely and the yard space was excellent. We had a bonfire and found wood for sale only a block away at Publix where we could also stock up on groceries. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice home with Fantastic pool!
The property was exactly as advertised. We arrived to a very clean, ordered home. The main feature is the pool and it was fantastic. The neighbors tall trees shade the pool in late afternoon which is an added bonus during the heat of the day. Just be aware that the home is next to a busy street. Honestly, it didn’t bother me at all and the primary bedroom sits in the back and isn’t bothered by any noise that I noticed during the night. The positive is that you are walking distance or very short drive to Publix and a number of good restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and as we will need to be back in the area in the future, we will stay here again.

Good Time in GVille
Was a good home base for a couple days over the 4th. Only issues were minor. Beds not the most comfortable, grill was charcoal not gas. Pool was huge, fire place was great for Smores. Very close to some nice walking trails and a city park. Would suggest to anyone visiting the area.
Less than 6 mins to campus as well.

We stayed for a Daniel tosh show on campus. It was a 3 minute drive to the show and easy to get to. Plenty of restaurants and a Publix nearby. Great setup for entertainment and relaxing in the pool or by the fire.
