4 Bedrooms | 3 King Beds| Ping-pong near downtown
The Airbnb was so spacious and the photos were exactly as pictured. It was very clean and the ping pong table was a plus. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be returning if we are in the area again!

3/2, 1800 sq ft, Pets, WEC 11 Miles, Private
House was beautiful, was in a peaceful neighborhood, Ron was very informative and helpful responded quickly, had more than enough amenities and even had extra things you wouldn’t even think of needing. Was a wonderful time and host.

Splendid home in ocala
Awesome place to stay!

Modern Family Friendly Home-Close to Springs
Nice place to stay. Host was very nice. I was there during a hurricane, the host called to make sure that we were safe & had no issues.

The Retro Retreat - 10 mil to WEC
Great environment fun time quiet amazing neighborhood. Everything is 5-10 minutes away. Thanks for letting us stay!

Horse country retreat
Andrew's house fully deserves all the 5-star ratings. It is spacious, spotless, fully equipped and in a quiet neighborhood very close to the World Equestrian Center. Great beds and bathrooms, fast wifi - just a super place. We have already booked a second stay.

TWO Pool Houses, 5 mins from WEC, sleeps 16!
Great accommodations for a large extended family or several families. Great set up with the two homes with pool in the center. Many extras provided by the host. Very clean. Lots of room to park and very helpful and responsive host! Comfortable beds and nice appliances with well appointed kitchens. Pool was very clean.

Hibiscus Park Bungalow- Walk To UF/Luxury/Hot Tub
We had a great stay and the house was stunning!! Beautiful decor and sparkling clean. Enjoyed the backyard oasis and lounging on the front porch. The spa was clean and hot, so relaxing. Would absolutely recommend and stay again!!!

Zorada I - Artsy, Modern, 2b/1b w King Bed
Steven was very quick to respond with questions we had in preparation for the trip. The place was very well situated for our University of FL ceremony we attended. There was not a lot of extra parking available. We would also suggest that perhaps additional linens be provided (hand towels and dish towels) as well as addiitonal kitchen implements (knives, can opener, more plates and glasses). We would recommend this in a heartbeat and will consider it for future visits.

1st Floor Peaceful Property near UF/Downtown
Norma & Mike made my trip stress-free and gave me so much time to just focus on what mattered most while I was in town.

Private, beautiful apartment in historic district
I absolutely loved the location of the historical home - it was so convenient with easy parking available. The cleanliness and organization of the home truly impressed me, and the thoughtful amenities like snacks and water were a really nice touch. The check-in process was seamless, and the host was extremely responsive to any questions we had. But the highlight for me was definitely the amazing shower - it was even better than what you'd find at a 5-star hotel! We had such a great time during our stay and can't wait to come back. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience!

Treehouse apartment set among the big daddy Oaks
Very quaint and charming place. Quick to many places around and near Ocala. We will likely be back if our travel calls us to the Ocala area again!

Heaven on a horse farm !
This was our third stay on their property. It was our second stay at this particular one. It's always clean. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The property and area is beautiful and peaceful. Close to major city like Gainesville but far enough from the traffic and noise. The host is amazing. They leave fresh amazing eggs from their chickens and candy that we always enjoy! They also leave some sodas and other things there for enjoyment. Their showers have nice shampoos and water flow. I would highly recommend any of their places on this property! We plan to stay again. Thank you!

Lake View Apartment on Melrose Bay
We enjoyed staying at Lesley's apt. She and Steven were very friendly and made us feel right at home. It's a very cute place, right on the lake. The lake is beautiful and the sunsets off the dock were amazing. The kitchen is well equipped and the king size bed was very comfortable. The shower was quite small but sufficient. They've done a great job making it nice and comfortable.

Florida Room: Walk DNTN | Studio | Lux Bath
Great stay, room was very clean, right by downtown

Fernbank on beautiful Lake Alto. Laketime Getaway
This couple was so welcoming and friendly. It almost didn’t feel like an airbnb, more like I was visiting distant relatives. They were very friendly to my son, even asking him if he’d like to help gather eggs from their chicken coop. It was just overall a great experience especially with the arcade downstairs.

In-City Comfort: Condo Getaway
The place was beautiful and clean! They had extra towels and linens, and lots of utensils and cooking ware! Mustafa was friendly and responsive!

5-star Luxury Apartment - Atop the Seagle Building
We loved this place! It was very loud at night (all night), but that might just be a Gainesville thing. Overall, the place is clean and beautiful. the bed is also bery comfortable. Came to see our daughter and will for sure stay there again.

Haile Village 2bed/2bath Getaway
Great location right beside the Haile Farmer’s market which was fun to explore on Saturday morning. Playground across the parking convenient if you have young kids! Good location within 5-15min of major grocery stores, Target, Trader Joes and many restaurants. Would recommend those looking for a quiet place to stay while visiting the area.

Private townhouse at Foxmoor - just blocks to UF
location was perfect, we were in town for a conference at the UF Hilton one block away, this Airbnb was less expensive than a room at the Hilton and we had the whole place to ourselves. very clean, apartment complex is very quiet and safe on a dead end street. super convenient to campus and downtown. beds were comfortable, had everything we needed. would stay here again!

Spacious 1 BR Condo @ Celebration Pointe
Great place to stay and a lot of things to do in the area, as well as the host being very flexible and communicative.

Ying Yang Suite | King Bed - Zen Condo
This was a nice little spot! The laminate wood flooring throughout gave the unit a really nice feel, and everything was spotlessly clean upon arrival. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of having easily accessible charging plugs right next to the bed – so convenient! The water pressure in the shower was also great. Beyond the practicalities, the inside was quite stylish. It offered a comfortable amount of space for one person or a couple. The location was great for my needs, offering easy access to Gainesville while being just on the outskirts of the University of Florida. I'd definitely recommend this Airbnb!

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.

✨️Spacious with 2 Master suites next to I-75&Mall
It’s an older property, but owner tries their best to keep it in good condition. Was cheaper than a hotel and had much more room for our group. Would rent it again.
