Beautiful Gem in the Heart of the Duck Pond

We had a great visit! Our vow renewal was at the Thomas Center, which is right across the street from the home. Perfect for our family, and we loved the historic feel of the property.

Historic Gem!

We stayed at the Duckpond house for 2 weeks while visiting family. The house is perfectly charming and very comfortable. The location was great for especially the downtown restaurants. Quiet and appreciated the very efficient A/C! The pool was sparkling clean and was enjoyed often as we had quite the heat wave! Well stocked kitchen as well. Really can’t say enough great things, it was a wonderful stay!

This property is gorgeous and the perfect setting for a large family and friend’s getaway! The location is ideal for getting around Gainesville and is easily bikeable to some of the best spots. The property management company is amazing and very responsive. The property itself is clean and very well maintained and the neighbors were lovely. We highly recommend this place for your next trip to Gainesville, Florida!

Great property but…..

Beautiful renovated 100 year old home! We had some issues with the power but were worked out. The house was in a wonderful location, and the pool was major plus!
