Serenity Haven: Tranquil Bliss 5 Min Walk to UF!

Welcome to this cozy and inviting cottage right off of University Avenue! You cannot beat the location of this renovated home – it lies on a quiet, tree-lined street a five minute walk to the Ben Hill Griffin football stadium and UF's main campus. With tons of space inside and outside to accommodate a larger group, this is the perfect spot to choose on your next trip to Gator Nation.

The space
With four bedrooms and comfortable sleeping arrangements, you and your guests will have plenty of space to unwind. All of the bedrooms have lovely restored original windows, which provide tons of sunlight while adding a touch of historical charm. There is also a sleeper sofa in the living room to sleep an additional guest or two.

As you make your way to the backyard, an attached deck welcomes you with open arms. On sunny days, use the umbrella for shade and relief from the heat. The deck is adorned with an assortment of comfortable chairs and tables, perfect for outdoor dining or relaxation. The backyard is a sanctuary filled with an abundance of greenery, creating a tranquil oasis.

Serenity Haven - aptly named!
My son and I chose Serenity Haven for his second post-op recovery location. The area is convenient to medical facilities, groceries, restaurants and everything we need. The house is beautifully decorated and the thick towels, comfort of the beds and relaxing back yard all contributed to a healing environment - times 2! We are grateful for Maria and her team, especially Tristan, for adding to our comfort this week.
