Vacation rentals in Gainesville

I had a truly lovely stay at Liz’s place in the Duckpond neighborhood of Gainesville. Liz is an exceptionally kind and attentive host, she checked in regularly and genuinely made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Her warmth and friendliness made the experience feel more like staying with a friend than just booking a place. The home was clean, cozy, and full of character, with a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. The Duckpond neighborhood itself is beautiful and quiet, perfect for relaxing or taking a walk among the historic homes and tree-lined streets. If you’re looking for a comfortable stay with a host who truly cares, I highly recommend Liz’s place. Thank you, Liz, for such a wonderful experience!

Many thanks to our hosts for being very accommodative to accept our stay request at the very last minute after we had just completed our 300-mile drive from Georgia! The location of the property was easily identified; and right upon entry, we found the place to be super appropriate and very cosy for the six of us! Every single detail was well designed, planned and thoroughly executed! There were three very decently-sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms for our convenience! John even popped over shortly after our arrival to check on some lightbulbs after we notified the host that there were some which did not work! Kudos for such a high level of professionalism! The unit we stayed at was located on the top floor, where there were balconies situated both at the front and at the rear catering to small hangouts during pleasant mornings and evenings!

This is an awesome place. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood, beautiful home. It looks simple from outside but is spacious and well-furnished inside. Big backyard, outdoor sitting area, fully stocked inside, plenty of bedding. If we ever go back to this city, we will definitely use Paige's airbnb again.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! Great place and very central to multiple springs. Our kids especially enjoyed the outdoor seating area with the fire pit

We enjoyed our stay while in town for a wedding.

This was our 3rd stay at Marlon's place and it was just as wonderful as the rest! This is home is lovingly cared for and thoughtfully set up and makes you feel at home the minute you walk in the door. You have everything you need in the house and if you need something, Marlon is always super quick to respond and offer assistance. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is situated on a peaceful corner lot extremely close to local amenities like a Publix grocery store as well as several restaurants/retail establishments. The home is a short, easy drive to the UF campus less than 10 minutes away. We love Marlon's home and will 100% stay here again next time we're back in Gainesville!

Our family enjoyed staying at Susan’s cottage. It is surrounded by lots of nature ( trees, birds, deer, and armadillo). The cottage itself was clean and cozy. Susan allowed us to bring our dog and rabbit which helped us out tremendously. She shared information on the history of Old Bellamy road ( the oldest road still in existence in America) and its surrounding properties which was really informative. Overall, we really had a fabulous stay and look forward to returning to this special place in the near future. Lots of thanks, Colleen and family

The house is beautiful highly recommended!! When we first got in, we had a WoW moment. Very nice spaces with all the comforts and luxury. Main bedroom adjoins the backyard. The room has a comfortable bed, adjoining large bathroom and walk-in closet. The neighborhood is very quiet. A somewhat older neighborhood. Amenities, such as a supermarket by car nearby. The communication with the host went super well, quickly and very friendly. And finally, a pearl!!!!

This was my second time staying at this Airbnb and I’ll definitely be back if I’m ever in the area again. Highly recommend. Great hosts, clean and quiet room in a safe neighborhood with lots to do close to the University I was attending.

enjoy my stay no complaints

Very cute place with a super comfy bed. Great for a quick stay for 1-2 people.

This place was amazing ! VERY VERY CLEAN!! Decor was very nice, everything was freshly stocked. Adel was very friendly and proactive, messaging me before check in. Again, the place was IMMACULATE! So clean ! I appreciate that a lot. We were here for a volleyball tournament and I will stay again next season!

Great location! Perfect size for two people. Place is clean and looks exactly like the pics!

Overall it met my expectations. I needed a two night small location where my dog could stay too. It was about ten minutes from the university hospital. It is on an isolated road, so it was very quiet. It was just what we needed.

Beautiful little pocket of woods, with good proximity to city. The cabin was cozy and the amenities provided were helpful. Mark is friendly and responsive - when we had an issue with the electricity, he came by the same morning to re-do the wiring and solved it. I would stay here again.

On occasion while staying in FL, there are Roosters or barking dogs in the neighborhood, making getting a full night's rest a struggle. This location was quiet and peaceful. Nice surroundings. The home was quaint and comfortable and had plenty of hot water :) The small freezer in the mini fridge wasn't the best but we were able to get ice nearby so no biggie. The loft beds were comfortable. One was easier to get into than the other but they offered a small pull out bed if the loft above the TV area would be hard to get in and out of for a guest. I did not have any issues accessing the loft above the TV area. I would stay here again should my travel bring me back to this area.
