Spacious 3BR/2Bath Downtown Gem w/ HUGE Yard • Firepit • Grill

Welcome to our Downtown Gainesville Gem!

Tucked between downtown Gainesville and the UF campus, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is your cozy retreat in the heart of downtown. Whether you’re here for a game, graduation, or a peaceful getaway, you’ll love the mix of comfort, charm, and nature all around you.

What You’ll Love

- Spacious 1,200 sq. ft. home — all yours!
- Large backyard surrounded by trees (and a friendly resident owl!)
- Fire pit with seating for everyone to gather around
- Fast WiFi + 65” Smart TV for streaming
- Full kitchen with everything you need to cook and share meals
- Two full bathrooms (one with a bathtub)
- Driveway parking for 2–3 cars (one covered spot)

The Space

Step inside and feel at home. The open layout features a cozy leather Article couch, custom butcher-block bar, and a warm, boho-inspired design with a bookshelf full of reading materials, plenty of natural light, and a washer dryer inside. It’s the perfect balance of comfort and style — ideal for relaxing after a day exploring Gainesville.

The Yard
The backyard is lush and full of life — a peaceful space to unwind, sip your morning coffee, or enjoy a fire under the stars.

The Neighborhood

Located on a quiet, friendly street on the edge of College Park, you’ll find neighbors tending gardens and waving from their porches. Walkable, safe, and close to everything — downtown, UF, and Shands Hospital are just minutes away.

Good to Know

- Bedroom 2 connects the main living area to the master suite. Guests can walk through it or use the master’s private backyard entrance.
- Quiet hours: 10 PM–8 AM
- No smoking! $500 Smoking fee applies.
- Small gatherings OK so long as place is treated with respect... any excessive mess will be charged an extra cleaning fee.

You’ll have the house all to yourself, but we’re just a message away if you need anything during your stay.
