About this house rental
Welcome to Camellia Cottage, located in the heart of Gainesville. Built in 1924 and surrounded by Camellia trees, this home has been meticulously preserved and tastefully updated. You will love the huge windows throughout, the original hardwood floors, and the beautiful natural surroundings. Enjoy the expansive backyard and patio with cornhole, fire pit, & BBQ grill. Walk to UF football games (1 mile), campus (0.5 mile). Enjoy everything Gainesville offers from this central location!
Take a step back in time as you enter Camellia Cottage. Featuring original hardwood floors and light-filled windows, this cottage style home will make you feel like you are living in the roaring 20's—while having luxe modern decor and amenities such as a state of the art HVAC system with MERV 13 filtration, abundant hot water, and lightening-fast fiber optic WiFi.
*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.
BEDROOMS
To us (your hosts), the most important part of choosing a place to stay is ensuring a good night's rest. We have equipped each of the three beds (two kings, one queen) with four pillows (two firm and two soft) and hotel-grade bedding to ensure you will have a peaceful night's rest when you stay here. Each of the king rooms features a private desk that can double as a work area or vanity to get ready at.
KITCHEN
The kitchen is stocked with coffee, tea, a full-sized refrigerator, a Calphalon cook-set, and Henckels knives to prepare meals. Gather around the large antique walnut dining table that can seat up to 8 people for your favorite meal or game of Monopoly (yes, we have board games!).
TV & LIVING ROOM
During the day, enjoy the light-filled living room featuring a 60" 4K Smart TV with a soundbar and subwoofer.
If you want to get the blood pumping, step into the sunroom workout area to make use of the supplied weights, mat, and other gear to get in your vacation sweat.
OUTSIDE
If being outside is more your thing, you will love this property. Our home is surrounded by old growth camellia trees, oak trees, mature azaleas, and abundant bird life. Spend some time on the back patio under the shade reading a book, or grill out on the shared Weber grill. On cooler evenings, the firepit is a fantastic place to gather and make lifetime memories.
We look forward to hosting you at Camellia Cottage.

We quickly respond to all messages, and are glad to answer questions or offer recommendations!
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. 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 that we deeply cherish and love this historic home and its original character. If you wish to throw a party or have a rambunctious gathering, we kindly ask for you to book another home. All we ask is that our guests follow the golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Our cleaner occasionally uses the laundry room and supply closet on the back of the house when the loft apartment (separate structure) needs to be cleaned. There is a clasp-style lock on the laundry room door if you wish to keep the laundry room door from the kitchen locked.

Perfect for visiting my gator. Very easy to walk to the stadium & campus, but due to heat I drove. Convenient location & short drive to retail areas & exploration of the Gainesville area. Easy self check-in. Charming area populated with many student rentals, but very quiet. Beautiful back garden & old oaks. Perfect for a family or even 2 or 3 couples.Great hosts. i highly recommend!

I do not know if I have enough space to describe how great this house is! The house presents exactly as it is pictured. It was super clean. Dealing with Cameron was so easy. Any question we had was answered quickly. They supplied us wonderful local coffee for the stay and we went and bought some. It is perfect location to UF and we walked there very easily. Beds were comfy! Great house!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this well maintained and super clean home. It’s close to the university so our daughter was able to “scoot” over no problem. The home is well stocked and the communication with the property manager (the owners) was flawless.
It’s obvious the owners take pride in their property and providing the best service. We can’t wait to go back and book again!

We like having the big table to play board games as well as the games provided by the hosts. The house felt roomy with large beds in two rooms an a cozy double in a smaller room. We played charades in the living which had perfect setup using the fireplace for the performer. We loved staying in a home built in the 1920's. The bathroom was huge which was surprising. We hope to schedule another visit with the grandkids.

I grew up in Gainesville, and this charming, immaculate cottage was right in the heart of town. Waking up each morning surrounded by the soaring, protective boughs of live oaks, hearing the birds and frogs, was more than I could have hoped for. Thanks for allowing me a peaceful return to the quiet and safety of m childhood. And, the kitchen was well stocked and the beds very comfortable (from the grown-up lens).

The home was very welcoming and comfortable. Loved it.

What a fabulous stay at this beautiful house. The whole place was spotless and the vibe was a charming mid century cottage. All the details were there from the wide baseboards to the gorgeous original wood floors. The hosts paid close attention to making it super comfortable. The beds were great and the kitchen had spices, creamers….. all the things to make it feel like home. If you are in Gainesville- stay here…..you’ll love it!
