"Great little place and worked perfectly for us and another couple as we were visiting our kids at UF. Even had the girls come and stay with us for a night in the third bedroom, had a movie night and ordered in. Great location, close to campus, shopping, etc. Very clean and convenient. My only suggestion is a couple more pans to cook, if you are looking to cook, we only found one saute pan and one sauce pan. Host was responsive, neighborhood was quiet and safe."

"It’s a really beautiful property made up of several nice old Florida homes. The salt water pool was a pleasant addition. The included breakfast was nice but the cost for additional guests to join did not match what was offered. It felt a bit odd to charge so much so that people I was visiting could join me when for much less we could have gotten more from a local restaurant. The parking is limited - one spot per room, which wasn’t an issue for me but should be told in advance. They offer many...

"Check in when smooth way without any problems. Hotel room was overall well laid out and in good condition.
