Family Vacation
The house was great. Had lots of fun games to play and room for all of us. The only thing it was lacking was lighting in the back year and in the driveway at night time. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. Alex was great responding and if ever needed will stay here again.

Very accommodating stay
The host & the house were absolutely amazing. Our family needed a temporary rental during our fathers surgery. The host was super accommodating to our needs, in our time of need. We are beyond thankful for that! The close proximity to Shand’s hospital was a critical necessity to be able to be back & forth. This location is close by to all the wonderful restaurants & shopping. We found this little gem of a place called Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park you must go check it out! Fascinating to actually see & great for a morning hike! Our family really enjoyed this wonderful home! During our stay we also dealt with a Cat 4 hurricane Idalia & this home was superb on keeping us all protected & the host was very attentive! 5 stars all around

The Alum Housr
We are six UF alums that meet up annually for football & fun (missed 2020 and 2021) started looking in August and found this house. It was perfect for our group- privacy, plenty of room and close to stadium (west of stadium which is perfect for leaving game)- Alex was responsive and helpful. Nothing fancy but a great house for a large group!

Great Location
We loved staying in this area. It's very convenient to everything. The house backs up to undeveloped property so it's great sitting outside, very private. The yard is not fenced in for a dog -- the fence runs along the back property line. We didn't use it but the grill looked clean and maintained. The house was very well stocked and had everything we needed for the 1 week stay. If you have 6 people staying there, you might find the dining table too small. The bed in the main bedroom was comfortable and the double sinks are great.

we were very pleasantly surprised how spacious the house was when we arrived. The picture on VRBO made it look small. My daughter LOVED the antique record player and old vinyl collections... too bad we're not allowed to play music on it!

Comfort with Amenities in GATOR NATION!
Rented this house for its proximity to the stadium and covid-level cleaniless not found in hotel/motels etc. Awesome house! Great beds, very well stocked kitchen and pantry, best I've seen -- normally I bring everything. Didn't get to try jacuzzi tub. Roku tv system with movies, shows but couldn't figure out how to get local stations and forgot to ask... No worries, we won the game! Go Gators!!!!! Great location, easy to get to campus and main roads.
