Great central stay

We had a great overnight stay at this comfy home. The place is EXACTLY as pictured and even better. Very nice and well throughout decorations throughout. They even had a pack and play for my baby which was a great find. The place is quite and central to UF campus. Only thing we noticed was that the main bedroom was warmer in comparison to the rest of the house which we mentioned to the host and he promptly replied that they would look into it. overall 5 stars and would def stay there again!

Gorgeous Property!

Fabulous property on all fronts!!! Clean, beautifully decorated, had everything we could possibly need (including sleep sound machines in each room), comfortable beds (and we are picky!), and a beautiful backyard. Everything was exactly like the photos. We were sad our visit was only one night, and we can't wait to return. My son is going to be a Gator, so we hope to stay at this property many more times. The host and person who cleans the property were so wonderful and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Simply Charming

This home is such a treat. Gorgeously designed and decorated, it was refreshing for our family to stay here. The floor plan is extremely accessible and every detail (literally everything you can think of) has been graciously thought through by the hosts. It’s spotlessly clean and the hosts are extremely responsive and kind. 10/10 we are already talking about when we will come back. Don’t hesitate with this one, it’s perfect!
