Another baseball weekend, another great stay! The house continues to check all the boxes for a great stay- convenient spot, has everything and is well kept, and the host is so timely and helpful. Continue to recommend it to anyone coming to Gainesville!

We booked this house for multiple Florida baseball weekends (wish the baseball was going a bit better!) and couldn’t be happier with the house and the host. The house has everything you need, including a great yard if you have a dog. If you are coming to Gainesville, I highly recommend you consider this house. Great place. Greater value. Even greater stay. And even greater host. Book now!

My family was in town for the Florida-Ole Miss baseball series and had the absolute pleasure of staying at this property. Conveniently located to everything you need, the house oozes old Florida charm. Bonus - the wife enjoyed the complimentary coffee items! But what truly made it was the host, who proves the notion that good things come to good people. Ananda is a good egg, and through kindness and communication has earned our family’s business for as long as we are welcome. We are scheduled for a few more stays the rest of the baseball season and can’t wait to return. Thank you Ananda for your hospitality and everyone out there do yourself a favor by staying at this house when you need a place in Gainesville.

We had another wonderful stay! This was our second visit to this house, and it was just as great as the first. The home is clean, comfortable, and has everything we need for a relaxing getaway. We especially appreciate that it’s pet-friendly—it’s so nice to be able to bring our dog along. The location is perfect, and the hosts make everything easy. We’re already looking forward to coming back again!

Cozy and Comfortable

The house was cozy and comfortable. No complaints except for the several broken blinds. I rated the "Cleanliness of Property" with only 2 stars because of the yard, not the house. Summary: I would stay there again.

Peaceful Cottage

This place is so peaceful. It is near the police station in a college town, so you do get the odd siren and car doors slamming when folks get home late, but man, those mornings are so peaceful, quiet and amazing. The decor is perfectly comfortable and gave me such homey vibes. A bonus was finding a ukulele in the living room. I tuned the ukulele, so play it!

Good house and close to campus

Overall, the house worked well for our family. Home is a bit on the small side. Good size bedrooms, and living room. Small bathroom, kitchen. Dining table and chairs don’t really fit the space. Fenced yard a huge plus for our pets. Outside seating area would also be nice in the cooler months.

Sad to leave!

This was our third time staying and I was honestly sad to leave. Not only is the house comfortable and clean, but everything is still in great shape since our first visit in March of 2023, which says a lot about how well the hosts care for the property. We got to bring our pups this time and they loved hanging out on the back deck and side porch. Location is quiet and super convenient. So grateful we were able to book here again for our trip. Big thanks to the hosts for another perfect stay.
