Amazing listing!
This is one of the best VRBO properties I’ve ever stayed at. Great value for money—huge inside and outside with every house game and activity you can imagine. 15 minute drive to UF campus for football games. Highly recommend!

Fun and very comfortable
Great place for the family to hangout and spend quality time. We love our games and it was fun to play cornhole, pool and foosball. We also brought cards and games of our own and they had good tables to play on. Nice size dining room table for eating together.

Everything was as promised
We were looking for a place for the family to stay while in town for our daughters college graduation. The size and location allowed us to easily get to the college and not have to worry about where the family would stay. If traveling with a medium to large group, I'd recommend this house.

Great place for a large family!!
We so enjoyed our stay here! Pool table & screened porch were great & bedrooms were large - especially the master bedroom & bath. The only bathtubs in the master and was a little hard to bathe a wild 2yr.old, but we managed! The home could use another air conditioning unit in order to keep the whole house cool enough, and not freeze out some people . The listing also says 4 bathrooms, when in all it is only 3 full baths and 1half bath. The lights in the main hallway are on a motion sensor, and every single time you walk down the hall the lights go on and it is quite annoying when everyone is asleep in the house. The home is close to grocery stores and restaurants, and convenient and close to the highway and the University. Overall we had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the house!! would stay again when needed!!

Our stay was great. The neighborhood was okay. House needed a few minor repairs; blinds at sliding doors, etc. Whenever I’m in the area, I’ll rent again.

Very Spacious home
We enjoyed our stay. However the home needs another air conditioning unit in order to keep the whole house cool enough. One other minor issue was the fact that there was not enough glassware for our party of 12 people. Easily remedied by a trip to the store where we got plastic cups. All else was fine. Comfortable mattresses, great screened porch area & inside game room. Large tv screen in front living room - with comfortable sofa & chairs to sit on. Also planets for room for all of us to seat at tables to eat. All in all, I highly recommend this home.
