Visiting Gainesville for UF sports, graduation, Shands, or sightseeing? We have the perfect place for you. Come back and relax after your event- or watch your event from the flat-screen TVs in the living room and bedroom. The house was renovated the summer of 2012 (it`s 1250 SF heated/ cooled).
You can walk to downtown bars and restaurants. The historic Thomas Center is just 3 short blocks away. We are also just a 10 minutes drive from La Chua Trail (a Florida State Park) where you are guaranteed to see 1 to 100 alligators.
We are also just 2 miles from UF campus, the Swamp, and the O`Connell Center.
The owners live next door to the house, and can be easily reached via phone and e-mail.
The shared backyard is fenced in and maintained by the owners, and connects to the backyard of the owners and our other historic rental home (the backyard is meticulously maintained with beautiful seasonal flowers and greenery-- winter is iffy for flowers depending on the weather).
The whole house is for the guests, and the backyard area is shared with 1 other rental house and the owners, and is beautifully maintained.
I allow for self-check in so that guests have privacy, but I`m available anytime I`m needed via phone, e-mail or in person.
Beautiful historic Duckpond neighborhood in downtown Gainesville.
Most bars and restaurants are within walking distance, but everything is within driving distance, and there is also a bus stop nearby.
The house has 3 small steps to get into all 3 entrances (it`s a historic home and is slightly elevated). Once inside, it is all one level.

Really nice old house with plenty of space in very quiet neighborhood. This place had everything we wanted including parking, proximity to downtown, A/C, two baths, and comfortable beds. The host responded to our questions quickly and followed up to make sure we had everything we needed. Great stay here!
Easy walk to the bars and restaurants downtown. Probably too far to walk to campus, but you could. The location is a quiet, mature, stately neighborhood and has one designated parking spot but free street parking is ample. Older home with all the charm-and quirks-that come with age. Lots of cooking equipment, but the main fridge is in the adjacent dining room so itâs a little awkward. The screened in porch is a great place for morning coffee. Owner VERY responsive. Reasonable requests on checkout-nothing weird or over-the-top.Would for sure rent again.
Perfect pad for a game weekend in close proximity to both downtown & campus. It was easy for us to walk everywhere and experience all the great options and atmosphere.
The house is wonderful⊠very well maintained and has everything you need for a relaxing stay - we were very happy all around!!
We stayed here with my parents the week before our wedding at Sweetwater Inn. It is very close and walkable to everything downtown.
The place looks humble from the outside but has a nice classic elegant interior. We enjoyed the screened in Florida room in the evenings. It also has a nice covered patio in the yard
