Great Gainesville Stay

Very comfortable home that kept our kids and dogs happy. Close to food options and grocery stores. The house was immaculate and has a perfect layout for a family on vacation or visiting.

Comfortable and beautiful house

This house was perfect for our stay. Everything was clean and comfortable . The porch is nice to relax on and the beds/sheets/comforters are great unlike many vacation rentals. Would stay again.

Came to visit the local springs with my two adult children, their spouses and my 4 year old grandson. We had a wonderful time, loved the house, backyard with grill, swimming in pool and enjoyed the hot tub. Highly recommend!

Weekend for Baby Shower

Very nice place for a weekend to attend a baby shower. Kids loved the arcade and pool. Bedrooms and baths were very comfortable, living room was roomy. Tiny kitchen, big fridge, enough for our small group.

Great house for the whole family

We stayed at the Orange Blossom Retreat for our son's graduation from UF. It was a perfect house for the whole family. Extremely comfortable beds, clean, and the BEST game room! We all enjoyed ourselves tremendously! Really great communication from owner as well. Highly recommend!

House is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. However, the house and backyard are in need of maintenance. Both do not match pictures online.

Lovely Home

Perfect space to accommodate our weekend stay for the Gatornationals. We were located about 10 miles from the track, which was super convenient. The neighborhood is very peaceful. The home is well put together, updated, and comfortable. We were able to utilize the kitchen and enjoy the backyard space. The host was also very responsive with us. Highly recommend.

I couldn’t be there because of a family emergency, so it was just my husband. He said the house was lovely. Thanks for letting him stay!

UF graduation

This house was absolutely perfect for what we needed it for. We were traveling with elder grandparents for our sons graduation and a hotel would have been way too difficult. The house was clean, modern very comfortable and only a 15 minute drive to the UF campus, super convenient and the neighborhood was very nice, quiet, a great place to go running. The house has a great hot tub, pool, game room and a nice sized back yard!

Seamless stay

I can't say enough about the communication, help and follow through with the manager for this property. The house was perfect for our extended family including two toddlers. It was in a safe neighborhood, clean, kid-friendly, close to our event and other things to do. The weather was cloudy with sprinkles so we did not use the pool or hot tub.

Inside the house was very well decorated and updated. Alittle bit of a safety hazard with fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors missing from the walls. And some cosmetic stuff that the owner should notice and fix. Also very huge step to get into garage playroom and huge step to get into backyard. If you are small child may fall or if older and have mobility issues not good.Outside amenities a total lie and definitely not maintained at all even though host tells you someone comes. Probably should fire that company.
Toilet paper holder completely coming out of wall but housekeeping put toilet paper on it??
Smoke detector/carbon monoxide detector non existent but in house description. That’s in kitchen!!
Supposedly landscaper came day of check in also dead snakes by shed that kids can get too.
Tons of garbage dead fruit etc… but landscapers were there day of check in???

Hi Jess, The step into the garage and the patio have never been mentioned as an inconvenience for the past 200 stays. Jess was upset that the pool had leaves and pollen in it from a recent storm, which cleared up after the pump was run. Jess had no other complaints of the outside amenities during her stay, but she did happen to ask for a refund due to those “issues” after the fact.

We have mixed feelings about this review.

This house was extremely clean and seems to have been very recently remodeled. The yard needs to be cleaned up as well as needing removal of random junk. It is located in a quiet neighborhood. However, the house next door is under construction and woke us at 7:30 AM. The kitchen is sparsely furnished and we had to buy items in order to cook meals. We even brought in our own toaster oven. The beds were comfortable, as was the LR couch. The TVs were new and the internet was excellent. The hot tub was in horrible shape and should be removed or replaced. The host was quick to respond to questions, yet didn’t remedy our concerns. This house is more of a glorified hotel suite with a substandard kitchen. For the cost, we could have stayed in a hotel and eaten out daily. We feel the need to make people aware of what to expect..

Dear Linda, I don’t believe you review is an accurate reflection of the property by any means. You let me know that the hot tub cover was old which is entirely true but the hot tub itself was clean and functioning perfectly, hence why you used it. Since then, I purchased a larger hot tub to accommodate more people. The house next door was indeed under construction and woke you up early one morning. I called the city to make sure they adhered to quiet hours and did not hear another complaint about it even though I followed up after to make sure they are adhering. The kitchen is smaller and we note that in our listing. We provide the basics and have not had any complaints from anyone else. We did not have a toaster oven which bothered you, but we can not accommodate every appliance nor do we state we have one. We were extremely communicative and frequently did not receive a response from you. Had you have asked for us to address any concern you had, we would have gladly done so if it was in our power. While we are extremely receptive to feedback and love suggestions, we don’t think this review is accurate.
