About this house rental
Experience luxury and comfort in this clean and contemporary historic home in beautiful Gainesville, Florida. The antique charm is captivating and well balanced with modern furnishings and comfortable living spaces.
Location is a big perk to our home. When the University opened with 136 students in the fall of 1906, parking was not stressful. Today, parking can be chaos, especially during the football season. You will love being in close proximity (10-15 minute walk depending on your pace) to where the Florida Gators roar, the Ben Hill Griffin stadium. If walking is not for you, a bus stop is a block away. Our ample backyard/outdoor private parking is large enough that even an RV will fit (no hookups).
Enjoy being centric to all that Gainesville has to offer. The Philips Center of Performance Arts, Harn & Museum of Science and Natural History, Hippodrome, UF golf course, parks, local breweries and great restaurants should keep busy. If the outdoors call your name, our neighborhood is perfect for a good-morning jog. Majestic road and mountain biking trails, tree climbing, tubing in springs, and cave diving experiences are also available to keep your adrenaline going.
Our 1950 home is fully renovated to provide an enjoyable space for a party of 7. Sleeping arrangements consists of three bedrooms, 1 queen and 2 full beds. A portable crib and a twin sleeper sofa is perfect for the little lucky ones. Memory foam mattresses with soft, hypoallergenic and comfortable fabrics will enhance your experience. Each room is equipped with soothing white noise natural sound tracks machines to enhance your sleep, relax, focus and block inside/outside undesirable noise. The clean up department consists of 1 private bathroom with a shower in the queen room and 1 bathroom with a cast iron tub and original 50's tile floor for the full bedrooms.
The kitchen is fully stocked with efficient european style designs. Drip and french press coffee machines will sooth your mornings. A portable grill, cooler, indestructible wine glasses and two camping chairs are provided (ideal for tail gating). Indoor W/D and iron board available for your laundry needs.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the immaculate cleanliness and the thoughtful touches that made the place feel like a home away from home. The decor was modern yet cozy.
The location was ideal – we were able to walk to graduation activities and easily tour Gainesville on bikes. Very convenient to dining and shopping as well.
Overall, this vacation rental exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect Gainesville getaway!

The house was very clean and spacious enough for our family to visit UF. Kitchen and bathrooms were clean and functional. Beds were comfy and overall quiet neighbors. The road noise was a slight problem but not too great of a nuisance to where we won’t come back. Great location and comfortable.

The property was very clean. The home is on a main road and is very busy to much noise from cars and trucks. The owner offered ear plugs and noise cancelling equipment but my friends were not happy with noise or having to wear ear plugs in a house that you rent. The wood floors make a lot of noise when walking on them during the night and would wake up my friends if someone use the restroom.

our gainesville getaway
arriving at your home was easy from ft. myers. Just hopping on 75 and followed the directions to the house. The house was definately historic and we were central to the university. There were some things that did not work like the dryer. we were disappointed that there were no tvs in the bedrooms but we did enjoy our time.
