Northwood Estate, 15min from UF

Our home is located in a very quiet family friendly neighborhood. We have no neighbors behind our home. The yard is roughly a quarter acre. The house itself is about 2,000sqft. Please be mindful of the homes age, it is almost 50 years old. Despite the multitude of upgrades there are still some small quirks such as: The AC takes a second to kick on, please be patient and lower the temperature just a few degrees at a time for the best results. The water takes a second to be hot and our hot water heater isn’t huge so if the water begins to get cold after 3-4 people shower just give it a minute to refill and heat up. Please make sure to close both sliding glass doors completely before attempting to insert the pin, it needs to be able to line up properly. The master bathroom toilets handle gets stuck down at times, please make sure after using the restroom that it is in the upright position. Finally please do not try to break into our linen closet etc. if you need anything reach out and we will be more than happy to help.

Little Love Shack

This house is TINY but it’s comfortable and fun. By tiny I mean it’s got a lot of 1950’s character squeezed into 690 square feet. The “official” dining table is outside on the patio so if you’re more than 2 people you should plan on spending quality time outside or out and about in Gainesville because the living space is limited. This is a GREAT rental for people who want to explore Gainesville, like being in the heart of 6th Street and prefer old school homes. No cable at this rental.

The entire property is fenced in for complete privacy. Even though you are in downtown Gainesville you will feel peacefully secluded.
