Perfect Location for a Gator Sports Weekend

Five alums returned to Gainesville for a weekend watching basketball, baseball and softball, and this VRBO rental was the perfect place for our stay. Four bedrooms, a big kitchen and TVs everywhere made it easy and fun. We'll be back, if you don't book it first!

Remembering old times

I took my 84 year old dad and his best friend from their college days at the University of Florida to the Kentucky vs Florida series this past weekend. We all had the best time. It was so enjoyable getting to sit around the living room listing to those two talk about there time at the University. The location was fantastic and the house itself was awesome. Won’t be the last time we stay there.

This place is nice!

This is an awesome property! Great location very close to shopping and restaurants, spacious, comfortable, well appointed and impeccably maintained. Our host Mitch was super conscientious, communicative and hospitable. Every detail thoughtfully addressed from the comfy throws on the big cozy leather sofa (perfect for afternoon naps) to the air purifier to the new stainless grill in the ground floor storage room. Nice fenced in backyard for your furry friends, a fully furnished bright and airy kitchen and dining area, a huge big screen TV with all the streaming services ready to watch. The second story screen room looks out over the backyard and the mature oaks keep it shady and cool all day. Quality bedding, great water pressure and tons of hot water…let’s see, what did I forget? Oh yeah, my wife actually said she could live here. A first for any of the hundreds of vacation rentals we’ve stayed in. We didn’t want to leave but we’ll definitely be back! Thanks Mitch!
