“Great location! There are lovely woods behind the home and you can see deer and birds from the back porch. Close to everything/ UF, Celebration Pointe, Butler Plaza, 75, etc.”

“This was the best experience at airbnb my wife and I ever had!Minor issues were handled quickly and efficiently by our host. Check out was a breeze, no restrictive instructions during stay. Pool was fantastic! Super clean water with pool pump running continuously. my daughter accidentally broke a ceramic coffee cup, and they told us not to worry about it. I highly recommend this place and we definitely wish to stay there if our travels bring us back to Gainesville ….many thanks! Thomas from Central Arkansas”
