Enjoy the birdsong and majestic trees from your private deck overlooking the backyard—or relax inside as light streams through the loft's massive skylights.
Only 0.5 miles to UF campus and exactly 1 mile to the stadium, you can easily walk to campus or games. Unwind by the shared fire pit or enjoy cooking on the grill
With soaring cathedral ceilings, this light-filled A-frame loft provides everything you will need for your stay in Gainesville.
*We require you to complete a verification process after booking to confirm your reservation. Please see our note at the end of the listing description for details.
BED
The king bed is equipped with four pillows and hotel-grade bedding to ensure you will have a peaceful night's rest when you stay here. If you have a third person in your party, we have an additional twin mattress that will be pulled out and made up for your stay (see photos). For a fourth person, we have a twin air mattress that will be provided (guest sets up in desired location).
TV
There is a projector and Fire TV Stick with multiple streaming platforms, so you can snuggle up and watch your favorite shows. We offer Hulu Live TV, Disney+, and ESPN+. Hulu's Live TV is the best way to catch just about any televised sports event.
BATHROOM
The bathroom features an expansive four-foot skylight in the shower. Watch red-tailed hawks soar and cardinals flit by as you take a rinse. Enjoy the vanity area with a large mirror as you get ready for a night on the town at one of Gainesville's many attractions.
KITCHENETTE/DINING
You will be provided a fully stocked coffee and tea bar with a quartz sink, mini fridge, and microwave, along with essential kitchen tools to make light meals.
Enjoy your favorite meal at the right-sized dining table—or sit in one of the comfortable chairs while you work remotely using the lightning fast fiber-optic WiFi.
OUTSIDE
Surrounded by towering oak trees, you will find the private deck tranquil and peaceful. This is a great spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening while viewing the magnificent Florida sunsets.
Come stay with us at Camellia Loft. We hope to host you soon!

Our neighborhood is a peaceful escape in the heart of Gainesville right next to UF. Enjoy strolling the streets under the shade of majestic oak trees, or eat a peaceful lunch on the picnic benches adjacent to our neighborhood pond. If you wish to venture further, it's a short walk to UF campus or the UF Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and Stephen O'Connell Center. You will also be walking distance (1.5 miles) to the UF Bat Houses and Lake Alice.
On busy game days, you can easily walk to the UF stadiums. There is ample onsite parking and you will have a designated parking spot in front of the two car garage. You will also be in a central location to explore the rest of Gainesville and all its wonderful attractions. The house is less than a 15 minute drive to the three top breweries in Gainesville, 7 minutes from downtown, 7 minutes to the HARN and Natural History Museum, and 3 minutes to Midtown.
Please note, there is a flight of stairs that leads up to the elevated porch where you enter the loft.
The driveway is narrow. Please be mindful of the house when pulling in and backing out.

My daughter and I were in town for my daughter’s procedure at UF Health. The loft is conventionally located near Shands Hospital as well as the UF campus. The loft was very clean. The space was just what we needed, comfortable bed, updated bathroom, cute kitchenette stocked with tea and coffee. We also found the neighborhood charming and quiet. Very easy checkin and checkout and easy communication with owner. I would definitely stay in the loft again!

I loved staying in this homey loft. It was super cozy and a great location. It was beautifully decorated with modern touches. Drinking coffee on the porch in the morning was my favorite part! Friendly, professional, and attentive owners. Would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Gainesville.

The place is beautiful…it’s compact.. but has everything you need. Being in the Loft, it felt like you’re perched in the trees… especially when looking up through the sky light in the shower and the Spanish moss covered trees!
The owners are very responsive and I loved reading about their story of the Loft and the Cottage on the same property.
There were other guests in the cottage which blocked the parking accessibility, that would be my only complaint was the lack of parking, if guests in the cottage get their first and then tell you to park on the street.

This is a quaint but modern loft space that is exactly as it’s described. It’s very comfortable and everything is provided. The sky lights are a beautiful touch to this space and it does feel like home in so many ways. I wish we’d had more time to enjoy all the amenities provided but we’ll be back again. Thank you to the wonderful hosts of this majestic property.
