Homey, comfortable stay!

We were in town for our son's freshman orientation at UWF and needed a home to accomodate my husband and myself and our 2 teen sons. Ruby's Retreat did not disappoint! Equipped with all the comforts of home, tastefully decorated, and located just minutes from UWF, it felt like a home away from home. We will definitely be returning.

Stay was great, the house was clean and up to date, neighborhood was good, one thing to consider would be the yard. Our stay lasted a little over a month during that time the grass was cut once. Even the neighbors commented on the grass not being cut in a timely manner.

Excellent stay at Ruby's Retreat

Ruby's Retreat is a well-kept small house in a quiet neighborhood, but close to stores and restaurants. It was clean, well-stocked, and very comfortable. The backyard is spacious and we enjoyed seeing the birds while we grilled on the BBQ. We will absolutely stay here again.
