Studio loft/ kitchenette/porch/bath
My good friend, her 5 month old and I had a wonderful stay, we cooked dinner on the fire pit and breakfast on the outdoor grill. We took long baths and had deep peaceful sleep. It felt like staying in a treehouse and was perfectly magical

King room at Pareners Branch Creek Guesthouse
This place was a perfect getaway for us. The pool area is amazing and so relaxing. My family enjoyed the pickleball and basketball. The beds were so comfortable and the room was very clean. Jane greeted us and was very friendly and accommodating. We would love to visit again.

Sunflower Acres Cottage
The place was exactly as advertised. Very cozy, clean, and easy to find. I loved the mint and roses right outside the front door. I will be booking again. Thank you Lorrie

Renovated Private Studio - Walking Distance to UF
PEACEFUL, EVERYTHING SO PRISTINE AND VERY COMFORTABLE! HOST IS REALLY PROACTIVE AND NICE. I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

Beautiful Cottage 10 Minute Walk from UF & Stadium
We were in town for a UF graduation and the place was perfect. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the stadium. The place is a bit tricky to find but Rich gave use the exact address to use for the GPS and that seemed to work fine.

Blueberry Farm Country Cottage
My husband and I had a great 3 night stay. We wanted something away from the main city and we got it! The cottage had everything we needed and the host was very responsive when we had questions. Their dog was the absolute sweetest and we were greeted by the cat as soon as we arrived. We pulled fresh eggs from the chicken coop and had a lovely fire the last night. We left feeling rejuvenated!

Private bed and bath above detached garage.
Cute place in a beautiful setting. Great communication - proactively provided details on location and made it simple to find.

Papy's Place - Horse Farm Retreat
Dawns place was a fantastic place to stay. When you arrive you're greeted by the most adorable shepherd who will instantly become your best friend. The house was super well maintained, dawn was an awesome host, and the property is super peaceful. I would definitely book here again in the future and would seriously recommend it for others going forward.

Millhopper Modern near UF&Shands
A super cozy and quiet studio! It has everything you could need in a place with a great atmosphere to it. Would definitely recommend.

Hilltop Retreat
Our stay at Hilltop Retreat was incredible. Christina and her brother Ryan were very helpful to us during our entire stay. Christina was very responsive to our questions prior to arrival even though she was on vacation. Hilltop Retreat was very private and quiet. The place was spotless and well appointed. Two smart TVs, large shower and a very comfortable bed all made the stay outstanding. My wife and I would highly recommend Hilltop Retreat. Thank you to both Christina and Ryan.

The house of smiles.
“What a wonderful stay! The space was spotless and filled with charming personal touches that made it feel incredibly warm and welcoming. It was both cozy and private—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Angela was an outstanding host, always responsive and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend!”

Horning’s Guest House -room for 14
Was a perfect place to stop for the night with a big crew, everything was easy to find and lots of amenities offered! Would stay here again!

Our Nest Cute House! With pickleball court
A great retreat! Excellent location-easy and quick access to UF! I wish I would have known about this place sooner! Love the pickleball court too! I’d stay here again!

Ocala - Reddick Equestrian Studio Apartment.
This is a nice private location. It’s at the end of a gated driveway. There is a small horse stable present as well. It can be hard to find if you are arriving after dark. Some lights on the gate or a light at the end of the driveway would help. I called Phil to help find the location - he was very helpful and friendly, and answered right away. I texted to say I was arriving late due to flights and he already had the A/C on for me. Great little kitchen. Bed was comfortable. Great place to stay! Many thanks to the hosts.

"Nest" in the Guest House up in the Trees near UF
I've been in many Airbnbs all over the world and the Nest might just be my favorite. It's truly a lovely place hosted by a lovely person and I look forward to staying there again!

Mother in Law suite/Apartment @ Staycation
My husband and I visited the springs and Michael’s apartment was perfect size for just the 2 of us! We got that super late at night and had struggled with finding the correct door entry but other than that it was perfect! Michael was very responsive!

Adorable cozy cabin near North Florida Springs
We had such a wonderful stay at Lisa’s cabin! It was such a relaxing and cozy place to stay after coming home from a long day at the springs. Everything was so clean and Lisa and her husband were so friendly and very responsive. They know the area very well and had lots of great recommendations on what to do. We even got to explore the beautiful neighborhood/community there! I highly recommend if you are looking for a fun and relaxing place to stay :)

Cedar Guesthouse | Near UF, Stadium, Bat House
Very affordable, private entrance, matches the photos exactly. Perfect little cottage located minutes from UF, the Flying Biscuit Cafe, David’s Pit BBQ, and I-75 to enjoy a 35 min trip to Ichetucknee Springs. 10/10!

Garden Cottage Sanctuary
This is THE BEST Airbnb experience I've ever had (and I've stayed in a lot of Airbnbs). The cottage is clean, comfortable, safe, and in an excellent location. I had everything I needed for a month-long stay, and Laura and Naomi made me feel so welcome and right at home. Laura and Naomi are the best Airbnb hosts I've ever had- so thoughtful, considerate; they went above and beyond to make my stay perfect in every way!

Palm N' Pillow • Guesthouse by UF, HCA-FL & Shands
Gabriela was very nice and respectful it is nice that she is next door. I enjoyed my stay. I would recommend this place to other people looking for a place to stay.

Lovely Studio Apt, Walk to UF
Joanie was an amazing host! The studio was supplied with water bottles, snacks in the fridge, and we were welcomed to some delicious homemade pumpkin bread. It is very peaceful and quiet, we enjoyed our stay!

Amazing farm cottage !
We loved staying at Keara and Don’s cute little cottage! Everything was spotless and comfortable. We had everything we needed. Driving down the road through beautiful old oaks covered in Spanish moss takes you back into old florida. My husband and I loved being able to walk right out the door and pet the horses and ponies in the stable. It was very relaxing and peaceful. Perfect spot if you are wanting to go to Devil’s Den or Cedar Lakes Woods and Gardens. It’s literally right around the corner! Keara and Don were very kind, helpful, and responsive. We will definitely stay again if we are ever back in that area!
