Fantastic home. Fantastic amenities. The size of the house was awesome and the pool-hot tub area is very well done. One small thing: in a perfect world, it would have been nice to have a tv or two in the bedrooms, but overall, my stay was great! Highly recommend.

Very surprise
From the moment we opened the door until the day we left, we were so happy with our stay here. The pictures do not do this house justice! We had plenty of room! It was clean and beautiful. The communication with the property manager regarding the heater for the hot tub was always answered promptly. I would definitely stay here again!

Necessary Stay
My daughter had surgery so we needed a place to stay from Iowa. We wanted a pool and hot tub. Beautiful place, well kept and guest conscious. We were a bit confused about the pool/hot tub heating but didn’t take away from our schedule. Such a big house I would have liked a broom to clean up any messes. I would absolutely stay again!! Thank you for accommodating out additional day.

Great Location!
This property worked out perfectly for us. The location was perfect! Close to everything but tucked away in a cul-de-sac that felt completely private. Quiet neighborhood. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.

Property was as good or better than advertised. It is on a quiet neighborhood street but still convenient to UF, grocery stores and etc. The inside was more spacious than expected.

Great place in a quiet location.
The place was spacious and clean. Checking in and out was easy. The pool and hot tub were nice but it required the the host to switch the heating from the pool to the hot tub daily and communication could take a few hours.

First time VRBO user. If all hosts are like this one I am hooked.
We needed a place to stay in Gainsville for my father in law's memorial. This property gave us the space we needed to be together and mourn as family and friends outside the celebration. Super quiet. Excellen
