Relax in comfort with thoughtful amenities, quiet surroundings, and easy access to Gainesville’s best —including Gainesville Airport, Ward’s Supermarket, the Auk Market, Shopping Centers, and Shands Hospital. A perfect retreat for extended stays or weekend getaways!
The Space:
This cozy, thoughtfully-upgraded home features 3 private upstairs bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms—perfect for traveling professionals, families, or long-term guests. With 3 beds and a spacious layout, the home comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests max for an overnight stay. Clean linens are always provided to ensure everyone gets a restful night’s sleep.
Enjoy stylish interiors with modern furnishings, a beautifully restored vintage electric fireplace, a fully stocked kitchen, and an outdoor patio with a charcoal grill—great for game day cookouts.
The home includes fast WiFi, large Smart TV, hard floors, and central A/C to keep things cool in the Florida heat.
Shower essentials such as body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, fresh towels, hand towels, and washcloths are always stocked for your stay.
Complimentary coffee, natural sugar, creamer, and herbal teas are also provided to start your mornings right!
A long private driveway and additional street parking ensure there's plenty of space for your group to park comfortably.
Guest Access:
The 1308 sqft house is set away from the quiet road, offering plenty of privacy. Full access to the home, including: kitchen with pots, pans, utensils, and other kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, HDTV, etc., with ample parking space.
No areas are shared with others.
The Neighborhood:
The neighborhood is secluded and quiet featuring the classic old Florida historic charm. The neighbors are friendly and keep to themselves. The streets are lined with traditional ranch style houses each with their own quirky aesthetics. The neighborhood is truly unique and one of a kind. No cookie-cutter suburban vibes here!
The location is only 4 miles from UF Shands, and not far from all the amenities Gainesville has to offer; including 2.5 miles to Ironwood Golf Course and 4 miles to H Spurgeon Cherry Westside Pool and Water Park!
Getting Around:
Vehicle dependent to get to and from property with plenty of parking on front yard.
Other Things to Note:
All three (3) bedrooms are on the 2nd floor so climbing stairs is required. Please park in the front yard closest to the house.
Please Note: Any special gatherings require approval from the host, with an additional $250 fee. Thank you!
NO parties or loud music; $500 fee
NO smoking or vaping (incl. tobacco & marijuana); $250 fee
NO unregistered guests (all guests must be on the reservation); $100 fee for each unregistered guest
We have an active doorbell security camera outside to ensure the safety of guests and our home; it also helps us guarantee that all house rules are followed
We have an active noise decibel detector inside that detects excess noise and notifies us to prevent parties.
The charcoal grill is available for your use. We encourage you to bring your charcoal if you'd like to grill during your visit.
You have been charged for the number of guests selected at the time of booking; for more than 6 guests, there is a $12 nightly charge per extra guest
If you are staying on a Wednesday night, please place the garbage can by the road that evening for pickup on Thursday Morning
Please,
Be respectful of the space (this is our home) and clean up reasonably after yourself
Do not leave any trash outside - we like to keep our community beautiful. Trash days are on Thursdays. If your stay falls on that day, we'd really appreciate if you could pull the bin to the curb

Double-check closets and grab all your things before heading out. Forgot something? We’re happy to help return it for a $30 handling fee plus shipping.
