This property was exactly as advertised, and more. The owner has thought of so many details that made our stay comfortable, with every amenity we needed, and more! Proximity to UF, Shands, and downtown was so convenient. The owner is also VERY responsive and concerned about the comfort of their guests. Highly recommend.

The place was perfect for what we needed, My wife and I, plus a 16 and 12 yr old. No complaints from anyone. You get on-site parking, you get a back yard, you are centrally located. They provide the basics like, body wash, shampoo, rags, towels, dish soap, coffee maker, trash bags and toilet paper. I may have left something out but essentially all we really had to do was focus on our vacation. If we go back to Gainesville, I would not hesitate to book the same place.

Gainesville Trip to Visit Friends

Check-in was easy with a pre-programmed keypad. The kitchen is well-stocked with gadgets, cookware, and a variety of utensils. I loved eating breakfast on the front porch! We needed assistance with something and even though it was late at night, Janen responded right away and was very easy to get in touch with quickly!

Cozy Cottage

The cottage was very conveniently located to the UF campus. Just a few minutes away from University Ave. Upon arriving the check process was simple. The home is obviously a new remodel and newly furnished. The host did a great job decorating it with very nice finishes. The home was very clean and pleasant in a wooded serene setting. We really enjoyed the space and it was exactly what we needed for our short stay in Gainesville. The kitchen was well equipped and the coffee station was great for the caffeine fix in the morning. I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future.
