Property Description
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.

Perfect Stay for Graduation!
Lisa and Jarred’s VRBO saved us after our prior VRBO plans fell through. They graciously accepted our last minute reservation. This is the Perfect spot for attending UF Graduation—just minutes from campus, restaurants, and grocery stores. The house had so much character, and we loved making pancakes in the cozy kitchen. Would absolutely stay again!

Great place to stay while in Gainesville
My son and I came down for spring break. The location is very close to the Florida campus. The property was very spacious. I think it had 4 beds and plenty of space to handle that many people. We didn't use any of the amenities but they do have a grill and an outdoor fire pit. Communication between the host was very good. They gave us ideas of places to see and eat. Very good ideas. When we return to Gainesville I will definitely check this property out again.

Quiet & safe
It's a fairly quiet house (block construction, new windows) except when it rained (metal roof), and as the photos show, the interior is mostly original. We had no safety concerns, and the neighbors were friendly. You can expect some nearby loading dock noises in the mornings. Everything in the house worked, and the host was quick to respond to a couple minor issues at the beginning. Garage access was a nice bonus, though we only used it for our bicycles. It would easily accommodate a large car.

Wonderful
The home was perfect for our family and our short stay! We came into town for a UF graduation. The home was clean, very well stocked, and in a quiet, very conveniently located neighborhood. The host was very responsive and acknowledged minor issues/concerns, and open to rectification. The only minor issue was missing/non-functioning light bulbs in some lamps & a request for more smoke alarms. Would absolutely stay again if we’re ever in Gainesville!

Wonderful experience
This house was spectacular. Check in was a breeze and the host attended to every single detail or issue. The house is exactly what the pictures indicated. I would recommend this property to anyone to visit . 5-star all the way.
