Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Alachua County

I had a truly lovely stay at Liz’s place in the Duckpond neighborhood of Gainesville. Liz is an exceptionally kind and attentive host, she checked in regularly and genuinely made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Her warmth and friendliness made the experience feel more like staying with a friend than just booking a place. The home was clean, cozy, and full of character, with a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. The Duckpond neighborhood itself is beautiful and quiet, perfect for relaxing or taking a walk among the historic homes and tree-lined streets. If you’re looking for a comfortable stay with a host who truly cares, I highly recommend Liz’s place. Thank you, Liz, for such a wonderful experience!

Great stay and a cozy house.

This was a great place to stay while we were in town for softball. It was very clean and roomy. It was fairly quiet and peaceful. All that is made available during our stay was very accommodating. We will definitely consider staying again if we are ever in the area in the future. Thanks for being such a great host!

Absolutely loved my stay here at under the oaks! It was the perfect get away

Beautiful home on a perfect lake - I rented both houses for a shared bachelor week, and every was amazing. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, including setting us up with 7 kayaks. The houses were both better than they looked in the pictures, with large modern kitchens and nice furniture. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were nice. Lastly, the docks are great, and there are lots of birds and fish around. Sunsets and sunrises were beautiful, and the property was largely shaded so it was pretty cool throughout the day. There was a bunch of parking.

We absolutely loved staying here! The place was super clean , easy to find, and In a great area. Our favorite part was definitely the game area in the garage which we really enjoyed. Though they were only 4 of us out of the original 6 we planned, it could have perfectly accommodated all of us there is a lot of room!

We were 4 adults who stayed for 5 days. Sundari's home is spacious and very comfortable. It is situated on a huge grassy lot. An especially lovely part of the house is the large screened porch off the sitting room in back that looks onto a beautiful yard with live oaks and gardenia bushes among other plantings. We would definitely stay there again.

Came out for a long softball weekend and was incredibly impressed with how beautiful and comfortable the home was. It had all the amenities we needed, was spotless, and located in a quiet area—but still close to tons of great food spots and activities. Check-in and check-out were a breeze thanks to the clear instructions. The host was super responsive and genuinely friendly. It was truly a pleasure to stay here for an extended weekend, and I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Beautiful location with easy access to the local springs and University of Florida

My husband and I were looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway and Cathy’s place was the perfect fit. Cathy and her husband were very friendly and welcoming. The place was well equipped with just about anything you could need. Cathy was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had and even had provided me with an update about when to expect the power to be restored when it had gone out. We enjoyed sitting on the dock fishing and just enjoying the water. We would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful place on the water and we are hoping to go back again.

We stayed here for a graduation ceremony . The place is centrally located , easy to find , tons of parking spots . Nice private backyard . We had some trouble trying to unlock the door but the host was quick to respond and assist . Would surely recommend this place to friends

Lesley was very accommodating, friendly and helpful if a need presented itself... made extra room for our Boat trailer and two cars and her husband Steve even found a Fuse for our boast when the Bilge Pump went out. The couple made an effort to make certain you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to coming back to say at the 2 bedroom cottage on the water in early Fall. Thanks, Jane

Nice clean cute space, convenient place to stay in Gainesville. Friendly, pleasant host.

The accommodations were clean and comfortable. We loved the location. The restaurants in the square were really good and there was live music on Saturday. Great experience for my family.

We were in Gainesville for our daughters UF graduation and rates are notoriously high in Gainesville for graduation weekend. We decided to look a little bit off the beaten path and also wanted a place that our other daughter and her husband could stay with us and have their own bedroom and bathroom. Liz’s lovely house perfectly fit the bill. Not only are the surroundings so peaceful that we just wanted to spend as much time as possible looking out at the water and trees, but the house was perfectly clean, much more modern than I anticipated, and was very comfortable for sleeping. We also loved watching Liz’s dogs play in their yard next door. The drive in to Gainesville was very easy. We would not hesitate to book Liz’s house again.

Jarred's home was exactly as pictured. The house is deceivingly spacious, with 3 bedrooms, each boasting large, comfortable beds. There is an obvious attention to detail around the "cabin in the mountains" decor, but with all the modern amenities you'd expect for comfort. The home was very clean, from kitchen to linens. The community is situated around a walkable circle. I say this because it was the perfect distance for my small dog to navigate. The host was always available and communicative. Would stay here again if in the area!!

My husband and son loved it! Everything was perfect for their fishing trip! They hope to go back soon.

Very nice people. The place is clean and quiet.

We were so grateful to have found such a chill and friendly family very accommodating! Great having all of the animals!!!

Always a pleasure staying at your property! The trampoline and other improvements were a really nice surprise! Your place is beautiful, just a gem! we always love staying there!

What a wonderful, unexpected place..Beautiful surroundings, excellent remodel of an old fishing camp. Wonderfully executed..would go back time and time again..

Enjoyed staying at this location. It was convenient and very nice and private. Very friendly host. Loved being able to put the boat in and fish all day. Would definitely stay again.
