Gator Springs ~ Close to Hospitals, Springs & UF

Nestled on a wooded lot, we left much of the landscape untouched. Enjoy plenty of shade, dappled sunlight and lots of nature sounds. Inside is flooded with ample natural light as the house has lots of windows.

We are 21 miles to Ginnie Springs and 22 to Devils Den. Bring your snorkel & fins! At the end of the day, enjoy a hot shower on the back deck and toast a marshmallow over the firepit.

When you decide it's time to hit the hay, pull the blackout curtains and when you wake, the coffee and tea area is stocked and ready for you!

We hope we've thought of everything but please let us know if you need more than the following:

>Plenty of fresh towels & wash cloths
>Shampoo, conditioner & body soap
>Kitchen gadgets for preparing meals & desserts!
>Mixer, mixing bowl, baking sheet, cake tins, muffin tins, measuring cups/spoons, basic spices
>Cutting boards
>Sharp knives
>Drip coffee maker, filters, cream & sugar
>Coffee, tea & sometimes cocoa
>Ironing board & iron
>Extra blankets
>Board games & cards
>Matches for the fire pit & skewers for smores!

The television is a 65” smart TV. We have an antenna but do not offer cable. Feel free to log into your own streaming services. We hope you enjoy the many choices offered by this “way-smarter-than-me” TV! If you’re looking for a special live athletic event, we suggest Gator Dockside right around the corner! Try the wings!

Send us a message for any special requests. We'll do what we can to make them happen. We want your stay to be the very best here at Gator Springs!

There is one step from the front room to the living room area. We provide a ramp to assist. Use care when stepping up and down this threshold.

We ask that you treat the house and neighborhood with respect.

Clean and Comfortable home!
Home was immaculate, extremely comfortable, and well stocked. Cooked in both nights and had everything we needed. Really enjoyed the gas fire pit in the backyard. The TV was amazing for watching sports and shows! Makes me want to upgrade ours at home! Lisa was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. She clearly takes pride in her home as it was so clean! Would stay again!
