Stay in peaceful comfort just a 10-minute walk from UF Health, Shands, the VA, and the UF campus. This thoughtfully equipped 1BR/1BA upper-level condo is ideal for medical professionals, patient families, or Gator fans seeking a restful, reliable space with every detail designed for a smooth, comfortable stay. Inside, enjoy a quiet retreat with no footsteps overhead, no headlights outside, and blackout curtains throughout. The queen bedroom includes extra towels and linens, a ceiling fan with remote, a dresser, and a stocked closet with pool towels, crib/high chair, laundry supplies, and more. The living room features a sectional with full-size pullout, smart TV, ceiling fan, and thoughtful extras like umbrellas and sleep kits with earplugs and masks for each guest. The kitchen is fully outfitted with a gas range, microwave, full-size fridge and freezer, filtered water pitcher, cookware, and multiple coffee options, including drip and pour-over, plus thoughtful touches like a Kind granola bar, fruit leather, and trail mix for each guest, along with salt, pepper, and olive oil. The bathroom features a gleaming white refinished tub and tile shower, hair dryer, and a wall-mounted dispenser with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. A “forgot something?” basket is stocked with helpful extras. Free parking for two vehicles is included - a rare perk this close to campus. The building’s location at the very front of the community makes it easy to find, especially for late arrivals, and offers the shortest walk to UF Health and Shands. Onsite laundry is just steps away, and the quiet pool area next to the building has loungers and umbrella tables. Guests love this unit for its walkability, privacy, and the level of care that goes into every stay. From pool towels and sleep kits to no-chore checkout, this is a stay designed for ease, comfort, and reliability - all in a primely located unit within an established community directly across from UF Health and Shands.
Hi there, and welcome to Gainesville! After nearly 30 years living in this unique city that still feels like a small town, I’ve come to know its rhythms, hidden gems, and the little details that make it truly special. From knowing the fastest shortcuts across town to who to call in a utility emergency, I’ve seen it all - and I bring that experience into every guest stay. What I love most about hosting is helping travelers feel at home while they explore this place I love. Whether you're here for a clinical rotation or observership, visiting family at Shands or on campus, or cheering on the Gators, I aim to provide a peaceful, spotless, and well-equipped space where you can relax and recharge. Outside of hosting, you’ll often find me tending to my backyard plum trees, hanging out with my awesome dog and cat, or spending time with family and friends. I’m a fan of local food, good conversation, and the charm of Gainesville’s tight-knit community. I’ve poured care into setting up my space so you don’t have to think twice about comfort or convenience. From a fully stocked coffee station and extra towels and linens to sleep masks, ear plugs, umbrellas, and even a “forgot something?” basket - every detail is there to make your stay smoother. You’ll also find laundry supplies, ceiling fans with remotes, and a wall-mounted dispenser with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so you can pack light and feel at home. I genuinely love this town, and I hope your stay here is every bit as memorable and welcoming as Gainesville itself.
