Graduation Weekend

Stayed the weekend to attend my brother’s UF graduation and we loved the house. The location is great, super close to campus and great neighborhood. The house is spacious and very well stocked with anything you’ll need and the kitchen has all the essentials. This has been one of the cleanest rentals we have stayed at. Very nicely decorated and beautiful view from the ceiling to floor window in the living/ dining room area. The host was very nice and attentive, communication was super fast. If we’re back in town this will be our go to rental for sure.

Return to the Sunshine House

This was our 2nd time visiting the Sunshine House, this time for our son’s 21st birthday. It did not disappoint! The house was exceptionally clean, had all kitchen amenities to make meals, & close proximity to UF & local restaurants. Our small dog loved exploring while we relaxed on the back patio. It is surrounded by a lovely, quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walking. We look forward to returning!
