Exceeded all our expectations!!!
We recently stayed at The Pond House, and it exceeded all our expectations, earning a well-deserved 5-star rating! The outdoor space is a nature lover's dream! The screened porch offers breathtaking pond views and the chance to witness wildlife. The lush greenery provides both privacy and beauty. Also, it is in a great neighborhood with close proximity to the University of Florida. An ideal spot for both tranquility and accessibility. The master bedroom, with its pond views, is a luxurious retreat featuring a king bed, en-suite with a large shower, and a generous 65” TV. All bedrooms have queen beds, premium linens, and large TVs. The kitchen had all new appliances and was well stocked with everything you need. The coffee bar which included a Nespresso machine was a great bonus. The Pond House is designed for large groups, offering two living areas and two dining areas. The quality of the furniture in both areas was excellent. We can't wait to return!

Great Family Reunion
We found this home to be perfect for our family group. We had a reunion of ten adults and ten children (not all stayed overnight) and the accommodations worked great. There was plenty of room, and the kids could hang out and adults easily keep an eye on them while spending time together. They loved the pool even though the weather was a little cool. The older kids hung out in the "game room" and we all enjoyed the pool table. The kitchen and open concept living and dining areas were spacious and convenient. There is a large outdoor area with a firepit. The big plus for us is that the location is near our home in the center of Gainesville, close to UF and the stadium, shopping, etc. We will definitely consider this property again for hosting a large group.
