Mid-century Home 2 miles to UF/Downtown/Shands & Walk to Coffee Culture

Walking distance to Coffee Culture, Planet Fitness and Alfred A. Ring Park Trail. Centrally located 2 to 2.5 miles from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, downtown Gainesville, and UF Health Shands Hospital. Enjoy this comfortable mid-century home featuring vaulted ceilings with impressive exposed beams. This home has been furnished and decorated with a peaceful and comfortable ambiance. Get ready to relax and enjoy Gainesville!

THE SPACE:
If you are looking for a comfortable home that is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood in Gainesville, then this is for you! Walking distance to the following:
- morning coffee at Coffee Culture
- your workout in at Planet Fitness
- experience the peaceful trail at Alfred A. Ring Park

You will find a lot of mid-century charm here, including the ceiling with exposed beams, built in closets in every room, and the original wood floors. There is also a built-in oven that many would say works better than modern ovens (heats 50 degrees hotter than the temperature you set). There is also a built-in radio in the wall that doesn't work perfectly without static, but you can still hear the radio on it which many guests find as a neat experience.

For those looking to stay in, a 55-inch flatscreen smart TV with access to Netflix, Hulu, etc. is available. In addition, a stocked kitchen is available for guests to cook and dine at their convenience..

LOCATED:
Coffee Culture is on the same block and is a short walk. The coffee is delicious with inexpensive prices, and it's a great place to bring a laptop and get work done. You won't be dissapointed!

The closest grocery store is Winn-Dixie in walking distance. Keep in mind that Ward's Supermarket is a quick 3 minute drive from the house and it has a wide array of fresh produce and plenty of natural and organic options. This is as local as it gets in Gainesville when it comes to grocery stores!

For outdoor lovers, Alfred A. Ring Park is a 10 minute walk away and it's very relaxing nature trail.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Make sure NOT to park on the street that is the same side as the house because it's a tow away zone. The other side of the street is perfectly fine.

There is an external camera looking outside the front door to ensure that the correct amount of guests in the reservation are staying at the property.

HOUSE RULES:
I want you to have an amazing stay and enjoy my home, but I do have a few rules!

FIRST, THE DEAL-BREAKERS (you could lose your deposit):
– Quiet hours are between 11pm and 7am. Our home is in a quiet neighborhood and we love our neighbors. Please respect our neighbors by adhering to our quiet hours.
– Absolutely NO smoking in or near the house
– Absolutely NO illegal drugs of any kind.
– Absolutely NO unregistered guests without prior approval.
– All overnight guests must be approved in advance through the booking process and are subject to an additional fee, as noted in our booking price.
– Limit of two pets are ONLY allowed if you have received pre-approval and have paid the one-time pet fee ($125 for one or two pets).
– Any significant damage or by not following these rules will result in the loss of your deposit.

OTHER HOUSE RULES:
– Park in the garage/on the driveway/or on the other side of the road, but NOT on the road side closest to the house since it's a towing zone. (I don't want you to get towed if you park on the street next to the house).
– I have provided black make-up removal hand cloths to be used for removing makeup. Please do not use other towels, washcloths, hand towels or linens for makeup removal (the stains are permanent and you will be charged for stained linen).
– Please always lock all doors and close windows prior to your departure (front door should lock automatically every 30 seconds, but please make sure it does).
– I expect that you will respect my home and that you will generally pick up after yourself.

PETS: DOGS ALLOWED BY PRE-APPROVAL ONLY and ADDITIONAL PET FEE.
– Pet fee ($125 for one or two pets) must be paid prior to check-in or your dog(s) will not be allowed on the property.
– Your dog should be friendly and house trained. Dogs that utilize pee pads are NOT allowed.
– Pets are NOT allowed on the couch, beds, or any of the furniture.
– Guests must clean up any pet waste in the backyard to prevent future guests
from finding any surprises.
– Your dog must be supervised by you at all times or crated in the room if left alone.
– Any dog that becomes disruptive will need to be removed immediately.
– You will be charged for any damage caused by your dog
– Limit of two dogs. An additional dog may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

CHECK OUT INSTRUCTIONS:
- Checkout is at 10am. (Late check out request for 11am must be made at least 48 hours in advance so that I can ask the cleaner if that could work with her schedule. Late check out request for 12pm will be an extra charge of $45 and will also require approval at least 48 hours in advance.)
- Put all used towels on the floor so we know the ones that were used.
- Press the lock button to lock the front door after leaving.
- Send me a message that you have left.

KITCHEN INSTRUCTIONS:
– Please do not put knives in the dishwasher (hand wash only).
– Please Rinse and Remove all food from dishes prior to putting them in the
dishwasher.
– Please ensure that all dishes are thoroughly cleaned before putting any and all
dishes away.

GARBAGE & RECYCLING PICK UP INSTRUCTIONS:
– Please bring out the garbage and recycling bins (should be inside the garage)
to the curb anytime on WEDNESDAY since garbage will be picked up by the city
early every Thursday morning.

GAS FIRE PIT AND OUTDOOR LIGHTS RULES/INSTRUCTIONS:
- If you choose to use the gas fire pit, DO NOT leave the gas fire pit unattended.
- DO NOT put/burn any items within the flames.
- When finished using the fire pit, turn knob to the off position and allow the fire pit to cool off first, and then please make sure to put the COVER BACK ON to protect it from weathering.
- To IGNITE the gas fire pit, it needs the propane to first be let out by holding the knob in for 10 seconds and then it should be able to successfully ignite after doing that (Please refer to the fire pit instructions that are on the label inside the door of the base of the firepit OR refer to the paper instructions left inside the small room).
- If you choose to use the outdoor lights, please remember to unplug them before leaving the lights and going back inside.

Thankful
I was in town for my daughters surgery- was so thankful for this place to stay. Only thing I would change is the oven. Could use a once over or replacement. The couch could use a little cleaning as well. Other than that we enjoyed our stay!
