Gator Getaway ~ quiet & pet friendly

We welcome your whole family! Pet friendly for animals with current vaccinations and flea control.

1950's home with recent renovations to make your stay most comfortable. The house sits in the host’s childhood neighborhood. Explore Gainesville and enjoy the convenience of being tucked away in a bubble of old fashion neighborhood charm.

So much natural light and plenty of space to relax. The screened in porch welcomes you to sit for coffee and conversation while the front porch rockers invite you to rock the night away.

Charming parquet wood floors, quilts and wrought iron beds...

When you decide it's time to hit the hay, nestle under the quilt on a brand new queen gel mattress. You won't want to get up but when you do... coffee and tea is stocked and ready for you!

The television is a 65” smart TV. We have an antenna but do not offer cable. Feel free to log into your own streaming services. We hope you enjoy the many choices offered by this “way-smarter-than-me” TV! If you’re looking for a special live athletic event, we suggest Gator Dockside right around the corner! Try the wings!

Fenced in yard for your pet to explore. Also enjoy walking the neighborhood with your leashed pup. Loblolly trail head is close by as well as WestSide Park. Much to sniff and “water”!

Send us a message for any special requests. We'll do what we can to make them happen. We want your stay to be the very best!

Ample parking in the driveway on the south side (LEFT SIDE) of the house. It is lit along the fence for when you come home late.

Your experience and comfort while staying with us is paramount.

I’m just a text away!

Quiet neighborhood and very walkable. Walk your family to the park, to the woods, to the stadium or even to dinner!

Ride share services like Uber are available as well as public transportation. There is a bus stop at the end of the block. If you’re headed a little further to explore local springs or adventure farther to theme parks, Hwy441 and I-75 are easily accessible from the house.

The Gator Getaway has an attached suite we call The Hoggtown Hideaway, also a short term rental. Separated by a wall and double locked laundry room (laundry may be available upon request), your living space, parking and yard are private and you should never see the other guests.
We ask that you treat the house and neighborhood with respect.
Observe quiet hours 10pm-7am
Park in designated areas.
No smoking or vaping inside or on the premises.
Parties will not be tolerated.
Only registered guests permitted.

For families bringing pets, we welcome up to two canines. Additional pets can be presented for approval. Unapproved pets will result unfavorably. We appreciate that you pick up poops. This provides a more sanitary yard for all our guests.

With all that said, ultimately, we ask you enjoy and make great memories while you’re here!
