Plenty of space, great location. The kitchen could use more kitchen tools, bakeware, bowls, etc. The beds could use thicker comforters. All in all, a beautiful home with plenty of space for a large gathering.

UF is a short walk away, Publix is close. Nice grass yard for pups — not fenced in, though, so bring your leash. We’d stay here again.

Perfect!

We came in for a football game and it was the PERFECT place for our group to stay!! We walked to the stadium and back and didn't have to worry about parking. The owner provided extras that you don't see at other rentals (snacks, water, toothbrushes). Overall great stay!!

Great house and location

We were a group of UF alumni coming back for a football game and this was a great house. The location was perfect- close to Publix, midtown, and campus. The snacks and coffee were a nice touch and the kitchen was well-outfitted with enough cups and dishes for such a large group. The lock was tricky sometimes and the futons were not very comfortable but we were able to work it out. The host was very responsive and flexible with check in.

Beautiful Home

The newly renovated home was beautiful. Clean, lots of open space and plenty of room to sleep 8 or more. The kitchen could have been equipped better with some of the basic cooking necessities but contained all the major and even small appliances. Great location to UF, supermarket, and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall a nice stay. Location was great.

Size of house and location was great. Not sure when the house was checked before we got in but there was some burrrowing creature in the vault ceiling dropping wood chips on the family room couch. Also had a hard time talking with someone about checkout.

Like Home away from Home

It was like stepping into an Island Resort - very comfortable, quiet and conveniently located. Our Family of six really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend all to “Check-IN” However, discovering severely stained bed sheets at bedtime and mattress covers when we pulled off the sheets was discustingly Gross! Our rating for cleanliness would have been a 5 if not for this!
