5 local springs, Gated Resort in Ocala Forest
Salt Springs Resort is definitely a fun little community where folks reside and use golf carts. The pool was nice the resort is friendly and it's A GREAT VALUE. I had a great time and people are smiling and happy laid back. The springs are across the street and chg $12 a person to enter. Well worth it!!

Fisher's Cove at Steinhatchee Landing
Our stay was excellent. The house was comfortable and fit our family perfectly. The location is absolutely wonderful and there is a lot to do at the resort to entertain the kiddos! The restaurants in the area are close by and have excellent food! We had a blast fishing and scalloping! We will definitely be back!

Gainesville Downtown
Our second time staying here, by far our groups favorite Gainesville Airbnb. After the first time we stayed here we wouldn’t shut up about how much fun we had so we had to book it again this year. Thomas is a great host! Helpful, responsive, and friendly! The star ranking system should be updated so I can leave more than 5 stars! Thanks for having us!

Eric was very communicative and a very gracious host. The cabin was cozy and clean and the surroundings were so peaceful, exactly what we needed. We spent a good majority of our time in the swim spa that seemed to melt away the stress of every day life. We got steaks from Mobley's, absolutely delicious. Very satisfied and a wonderful anniversary getaway

Sunflower Acres Cottage
This is our second time staying here, and we couldn’t be happier! This place has quickly become one of our favorites, and it tops our list whenever we're in the area. It has such a peaceful vibe and is always so clean. Plus, the interior is just lovely! We really enjoy our time here.

Steinhatchee Fun! King/Queen 2 bdrm Full kitchen!
Theresa was a wonderful host and so very helpful! The Villa is in a prime location between Sea Hag and the boat ramp. Everything was very clean and the bed was super comfy. Theresa made sure we had everything we needed and was available for any questions we had. We would love to stay there again!

The 1910 General Store - residence
This quickly became one of my favorite AirBnBs that I've ever stayed in. Really spacious and fun! Located in a great neighborhood.

Blueberry Farm Country Cottage
We had a wonderful stay with Walt and Cassandra. The house is very nice. The furniture and decor are very personalized and absolutely harmonious with the whole location The kitchen was excellently equipped - almost the best Airbnb we have ever had during all our travels. It was very easy to cook dinner. Another positive thing to mention is the bed - we slept very well on the mattress. About the area: The house is quiet and you can easily relax away from the hustle and bustle of a city. Super starry sky due to the low light pollution. There are chickens on the property, which provided us with fresh eggs every morning. There are also 2 cats living on the property. We can absolutely recommend the accommodation and would book it a second time.

The Garden Cottage at Moonrise Farm
Maureens place was exactly what we were looking for , very quiet , beautiful peaceful farm and it was exactly as described! Great value and would highly recommend! Thank you

Suwannee River Retreat
What a wonderful location! We were in town for a competition with our dogs and it was perfect for our needs. Very quiet and the lightening bug show every night was amazing!

Southern Comfort!
Great condo and location. Best stay we’ve experienced in Haile Village. Small problem with air conditioning upon check-in; contacted Jessica and fixed immediately. Thanks so much for the stay-would rent again while visiting Gainesville.

Peaceful Cottage in Alachua Florida
It’s a cozy place, but there’s plenty of beds and having 2 bathrooms was wonderful. The only slight complaint would be that the shower stall is so tiny, I could never quite figure out how to keep the floor from getting splashed, but I think that’s a me problem. Susan, the host, was so lovely, friendly and super proactive and helpful.

Stylish & Renovated Modern Farmhouse Boutique Apt
Nice accommodations. Convenient to Gainesville. Very comfortable bed. Only downside was traffic noise on I75

Cozy House mins from NAS JAX & Orange Park Mall
John was friendly. He responded quickly to any issue we had, and wee had very few. The water pressure was low. I was unhappy with the neighborhood, which was on its way to becoming a slum. But John was the BEST host ever. He always responded almost immediately. It was too cool to use the pool. We were close to our friends and Church. I would rent from him again.

1 Bedroom Condo: Walk to Shands / UF / VA- Pool!
We rented this place for the week when I had to have surgery at Shands. So, my husband and I stayed the first night, then after that my husband went back and forth to the hospital. It was a short walk, and it was nice for him to have an inexpensive place to stay. The night I stayed I thought the bed was comfortable and I appreciated the computer chair provided by the dining table. The main thing that stood out about our stay was that the hosts were very responsive. I will say that there were a couple of issues at the beginning: a missing parking pass, some lightbulbs out, and the drain was clogged, but as soon as I called them up, they had someone over right away who made sure that the issues were fixed and apologized that they even happened (and I called about the drain at 9:30 at night), which I appreciated. I suspect that the people they had clean for them simply were not telling them about these things.

Comfy 2B/2B across from Shands, walk to UF
This is perfect place to stay if you are looking to be close to UF. Its a great location, cozy and clean! would definitely book again!

Walk to Shands/ UF - Budget 2 Bedroom Condo, Pool!
The unit was clean to my satisfaction- kitchen, floors, bathrooms had been recently and properly cleaned prior to the arrival. Added bonuses were the king bed is very comfortable (did not try the other one), shower pressure is good and handheld shower head also a bonus. Parking is easy and close to the unit. The unit was mostly quiet and peaceful my only complaint is that my last night there a person next door (not sure if it was an actual housekeeper for an adjacent airbnb or a resident as they eventually left with multiple bags of trash) went on a massive cleaning binge at 1:30 in the morning. They dusted/ swept/ vacuumed and moved things very loudly alongside the wall on their unit which is where the headboard to the bed is on this unit. It sounded like a giant was caught in a toy box and trying to get out. It did prevent me from sleeping for about an hour until they left. Other than this one person being very disruptive which isn’t a reflection on the host everything was great!

Get-away condo in the heart of Haile Village.
We were in Gainesville for work and couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. It felt like a true home away from home, providing a comfortable and peaceful environment that allowed us to fully relax after long hours. The quiet atmosphere was a huge plus. We can't say enough good things and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Gainesville, especially for work.

Hotel like standards you count on.
Brian was very accommodating, he always replies back in a timely manner and the place was all I could ask for and more. Thanks Brian.

Centrally Located Townhouse
Alex was a very accommodating and gracious host. We had a situation in which we needed to extend our stay. Alex was proactive and flexible. Since another guest had already booked the place immediately following us, he had a recommendation for another accommodation that fit our needs perfectly. We would be very happy to do business with Alex in the future! Thank you, Alex!
