We stayed here while moving our daughter into the University of Florida. The home is very nice and comfortable. The reality matches the pictures. The location to everything we needed to do is great. You will also never rent from a nicer, more responsive host.

Gators vs Tigers

We stayed at the property 11/15-17 2024. It was outstanding. House is great. Location is ideal for easy in and out, but close enough to campus. Plenty of room for 8 adults (and still more sleep space if you need it). Kitchen well set up. Backyard large with a great patio to enjoy morning coffee. We will be back. SuperHost!

The house is just as pictures show and nicely stocked. The floors were not clean so our socks and feet were dirty. The neighborhood we did not feel was safe at all. The home was beautiful.

Absolutely the best VRBO property yet!

The Floridian was comfortable, clean, charming and well-stocked. Everything we could possibly need was provided. Management labeled every drawer so supplies were easily accessible. Pre-registration questions to house check-in to our welcome to periodic messaging—all communication from our hosts was first-class. In the future, I will happily stay at any property that Sugar Lilies offer. Thank you

Gorgeous Property!

Fabulous property on all fronts!!! Clean, beautifully decorated, had everything we could possibly need (including sleep sound machines in each room), comfortable beds (and we are picky!), and a beautiful backyard. Everything was exactly like the photos. We were sad our visit was only one night, and we can't wait to return. My son is going to be a Gator, so we hope to stay at this property many more times. The host and person who cleans the property were so wonderful and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Simply Charming

This home is such a treat. Gorgeously designed and decorated, it was refreshing for our family to stay here. The floor plan is extremely accessible and every detail (literally everything you can think of) has been graciously thought through by the hosts. It’s spotlessly clean and the hosts are extremely responsive and kind. 10/10 we are already talking about when we will come back. Don’t hesitate with this one, it’s perfect!

Great central stay

We had a great overnight stay at this comfy home. The place is EXACTLY as pictured and even better. Very nice and well throughout decorations throughout. They even had a pack and play for my baby which was a great find. The place is quite and central to UF campus. Only thing we noticed was that the main bedroom was warmer in comparison to the rest of the house which we mentioned to the host and he promptly replied that they would look into it. overall 5 stars and would def stay there again!

Very clean home convenient to Downtown

The house was beautiful and very, very clean. We really appreciated that! The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. Thank you. The children enjoyed playing cornhole in the backyard and the location was a short drive to UF and convenient to downtown. The only reason we would not rent this home in the future was that we regularly heard the sounds of engines speeding off and loud music as cars waited at the stoplight nearby. We could hear people talking on the sidewalk in front of the house into the morning hours. There are sound machines in each of the bedrooms which helps a lot for sleep. A sound machine in the living room would be a great addition since it is counted as a sleeping area as well.
