Photos and Description of the Gainesville vacation condo rental
2br 2.5ba PLUS SLEEPER sleeps 1-9.

Two bedroom 2.5 bath condo located in the heart of Gainesville!! Less than two miles to UF, BEN HILL GRIFFIN STADIUM (AKA THE SWAMP!!), Shands, Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center, North Florida Regional Medical Center, the veterinary school, and all on convenient bus routes! Less than 5 minute walk to any bus stop and the grocery store! No car needed. This condo is in a quiet professional neighborhood. Walk out your own private fenced in back porch and you are at the nice refreshing pool! This is an excellent vacation home or just for a visit for those amazing gator games, gator nationals, gatorback, girls weekend, a weekend wedding or graduation, or even while visiting in families that are in the hospital or for stay during your care here!! Please note that both bedrooms are upstairs. Call or email for inquiries! Thanks :) Want a girls weekend? Ask how we can help you find the perfect spa!

Plenty of parking and we do not charge cleaning fees!!

Newly Remodeled!: Many newer upgrades include brand new tile, stainless steel refrigerator, flat top stove, over the range microwave, dishwasher, and newer tubs and showers!! Place is furnished to the max including all dishes, pots, pans, glasses, Tupperware, blender, iron, ironing board, washer, dryer, and many more! This is an excellent vacation home or just for a visit for those amazing gator games, gator nationals, or a weekend wedding or graduation!!

Capacity: The Condo sleeps 6 comfortably but can accommodate up to 9 (has-1 queen, 1 double, and one pull out queen sized sleeper sofa). Please note--newly added---sleeper sofa has an additional quality 3 inch mattress pad topper to provide extra comfort! Plenty of room for an additional queen and twin air mattress (not provided). So, it sleeps 6 comfortably, and could sleep 9 people with the extra air mattresses you bring. Please note this is a condo, so if you all try to shower at the same time or close together, you will not have enough hot water! There is a 40 gallon water heater on site. Both bedrooms and showers are upstairs while the sleeper sofa is downstairs. Please email with any questions. We hope you will love our home as much as we have the past 8 years! We live close to the condo so if you have any questions or concerns or would like a tour before renting, please don’t hesitate to email us! We’d be happy to help you in any way!!

Please read before inquiring: Responsible renters over the age of 25 only. Copy of Drivers license required. No kegs, loud parties, or pets allowed on premise. Maximum amount of people spending the night is 9. There is also no smoking allowed INSIDE this property. Violation of these items listed above will result in renters being removed and neither deposit or rental payment will be returned. PLEASE NOTE.....We are close friends with the neighbors and also live close to the unit, so we ask that you please follow these instructions. Please don’t put us in the position to have to remove you from premises. The condo association charges $25 for each time garbage is left outside the front door, to keep our neighborhood cleaner. So, please make sure all your trash makes it to the dumpster, as we don't want to have to take that out of your security deposit :(

Check in times may vary depending if someone else is moving out the day you move in, to allow for cleaning. We get you in there as soon as we can. Check out time is eleven.

Notice: Both bedrooms and showers are upstairs, so not really handicap accessible (sleeper sofa is downstairs)

There is no land line telephone available in this unit. All renters must use personal cellular device for communication.

There is ample parking (no pass needed) and we do not charge cleaning fees!

New to the unit: Main living area: dual ipod and iphone docking station stereo system and New patio furniture!

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo! The location is very convenient to the interstate, shopping, UF, parks, etc. We've rented a lot of places on VRBO and you never know if the kitchen is really going to be equipped to cook for the week. This kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed! It was very roomy and in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. The grassy area in the back was a great place for the kids to throw the football around. Thanks for sharing your place!

Extended Stay

5 of 5
Submitted: April 8, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Our stay was for a total of 12 days, so we felt very much at home by the time we left. It is truly a home away from home. The kitchen is well stocked with all of your cooking and serving needs. It is very quiet, plenty of parking, nice patio and pool. I appreciated the secure wireless internet. Our grandson (3 yrs old) came and spent some days with us while his parents were working. He enjoyed the common grassy area by the pool and playing on the patio. Stephanie was very easy to work with. We have used Homeaway several times and I am truly impressed with the homes we have rented. This one is no exception. I would gladly recommend it to anyone who needs a place to call home in Gainesville.
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for the great review! We hope you guys are doing well and will consider us again in the future! Many blessings!
