Picturesque, Bright & Comfy ~ Near Ben Hill Stadium & UF Campus ~ Porch ~Parking

Escape to the charming 4BR 2Bath oasis immersed in a tranquil and friendly Gainesville neighborhood. It offers a relaxing getaway a few steps away from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, UF Campus, O'Connell Center, and booming Midtown with excellent restaurants, shops, attractions, and landmarks.

The spacious kitchen and the dining area are where you'll prepare and enjoy tasty meals with your loved ones before unwinding in the living room, setting the stage for unforgettable evenings. Natural sunlight bursts through the large windows, making the house very bright during the day, accenting the tastefully picked furniture, and enhancing the soothing setting.

Recharge in the four comfortable bedrooms, which feature 5☆-hotel comforts that allow you to rest after a thrilling day of Florida adventures.

But wait! The best is yet to come! Step out into the spacious backyard to bask in the sun, catch a breath of fresh air, or sit back on the enclosed porch and gaze at the mesmerizing natural environment while relaxing on the cozy sofa.

There's so much to do in this gorgeous home. We look forward to you experiencing its full comfort and coziness.

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!
