About this house rental

Walking distance to Coffee Culture, Planet Fitness and Alfred A. Ring Park Trail. Centrally located 2 to 2.5 miles from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, downtown Gainesville, and UF Health Shands Hospital. Enjoy this comfortable mid-century home featuring vaulted ceilings with impressive exposed beams. This home has been furnished and decorated with a peaceful and comfortable ambiance. Get ready to relax and enjoy Gainesville!

THE SPACE:
If you are looking for a comfortable home that is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood in Gainesville, then this is for you! Walking distance to the following:
- morning coffee at Coffee Culture
- your workout in at Planet Fitness
- experience the peaceful trail at Alfred A. Ring Park

You will find a lot of mid-century charm here, including the ceiling with exposed beams, built in closets in every room, and the original wood floors. There is also a built-in oven that many would say works better than modern ovens (heats 50 degrees hotter than the temperature you set). There is also a built-in radio in the wall that doesn't work perfectly without static, but you can still hear the radio on it which many guests find as a neat experience.

For those looking to stay in, a 55-inch flatscreen smart TV with access to Netflix, Hulu, etc. is available. In addition, a stocked kitchen is available for guests to cook and dine at their convenience..

LOCATED:
Coffee Culture is on the same block and is a short walk. The coffee is delicious with inexpensive prices, and it's a great place to bring a laptop and get work done. You won't be dissapointed!

The closest grocery store is Winn-Dixie in walking distance. Keep in mind that Ward's Supermarket is a quick 3 minute drive from the house and it has a wide array of fresh produce and plenty of natural and organic options. This is as local as it gets in Gainesville when it comes to grocery stores!

For outdoor lovers, Alfred A. Ring Park is a 10 minute walk away and it's very relaxing nature trail.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Make sure NOT to park on the street that is the same side as the house because it's a tow away zone. The other side of the street is perfectly fine.

There is an external camera looking outside the front door to ensure that the correct amount of guests in the reservation are staying at the property.

I want you to have an amazing stay and enjoy my home, but I do have a few rules!

OTHER HOUSE RULES:
– Park in the garage/on the driveway/or on the other side of the road, but NOT on the road side closest to the house since it's a towing zone. (I don't want you to get towed if you park on the street next to the house).
– I have provided black make-up removal hand cloths to be used for removing makeup. Please do not use other towels, washcloths, hand towels or linens for makeup removal (the stains are permanent and you will be charged for stained linen).

GAS FIRE PIT AND OUTDOOR LIGHTS RULES/INSTRUCTIONS:
- If you choose to use the gas fire pit, DO NOT leave the gas fire pit unattended.
- DO NOT put/burn any items within the flames.
- When finished using the fire pit, turn knob to the off position and allow the fire pit to cool off first, and then please make sure to put the COVER BACK ON to protect it from weathering.
- To IGNITE the gas fire pit, it needs the propane to first be let out by holding the knob in for 10 seconds and then it should be able to successfully ignite after doing that (Please refer to the fire pit instructions that are on the label inside the door of the base of the firepit OR refer to the paper instructions left inside the small room).
- If you choose to use the outdoor lights, please remember to unplug them before leaving the lights and going back inside.

House is as described. Works perfect for our family and our pup. Love the open living room with spacious and comfy couch. We didn’t cook while we were there so can’t comment on the adequacy of the kitchen. It worked well for our needs and was well equipped for coffee, drinks and heating things up. Bathrooms were clean and the beds comfortable. It could probably use a bit of updating but we embraced its charm and character. The spaciousness is a huge perk. We will definitely be back!

My favorite decor is mid-century so we all felt right at home. The home is impeccably clean and has a very relaxing feel. Lots of little positive messages scattered about. I ended up needing to cook a bit and the kitchen was well-equipped for fixing a meal. Beds are comfy and lots of space for everyone to read or work. It is a convenient location for us as well. Good communication from the host.

My family stayed at this mid century home for my son's surgery. Very close to the hospital, restaurant's, and grocery stores. Be aware this is an older home, which did not bother us, however there are a few things I wish had been different. The neighborhood did make me feel uncomfortable, although nothing negative occurred. The house on arrival was clean, however the floors could of been vacuumed better, and no vacuum was provided. I did mention this to the homeowner who offered to have someone come to vacuum. Another warning for anyone who is tall, the bathroom counters are very low! If you are needing to cook meals the oven only cooks to 400°, and the toaster oven provided is very small. This can make cooking a challenge. Overall our stay was good. These are just somethings other guest may like to know in advance.

Great property and location! We loved exploring the city of Gainesville, so it was nice to have a place close to the heart of town. It was the perfect fit for my group of 5!

The location is great! It is convenient to UF campus, restaurants, and shopping while being in a quiet neighborhood. We brought our dog and he loved the large, fenced-in backyard. My husband walked him early each morning and the neighbors stopped to chat - so nice! The house has everything you need for cooking - even the grill was in great shape which isn't always the case at rental units. The beds were comfy, the a/c amazingly cold :-), and there was a large water heater so no one took cold showers - hey, these bits matter! :-) I hope we can book it again in the future!
