Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Alachua County

Spacious and lovely home. Makes you feel like you live here.

5 Stars - Exceptional Host! I’ve stayed at several Airbnbs, but Lisa was by far the best host I’ve ever had. She was incredibly communicative and responsive, which was especially important during our stay. The place was perfect for our needs—very clean and well-maintained. What stood out most was how thoughtful and accommodating Lisa was. My wife was scheduled to be induced at the hospital nearby, but when our plans were unexpectedly delayed, Lisa went above and beyond to ensure my family and I had a place to stay. She was so understanding and made everything stress-free for us. As a sweet gesture, she even got my little one a new toy and something special for our newborn daughter. That level of kindness was deeply appreciated. I highly recommend any Airbnb managed by Lisa. She made our experience memorable and stress-free, and I’ll definitely return if I ever need a place again.

Stayed here while visiting a friend for her baby shower. Beds were comfortable. Everyone has a place to sleep. Great location.

Very peaceful neighborhood. Room to cook, relax, enjoy the backyard and more. We had six guests stay and had plenty of room without feeling cramped! Would book again.

Stayed over Christmas and made some good memories with the family. Beautiful location on Lake Santa Fe. We brought kayaks and our sons made the most of it.

Stayed for 5 nights, and it was lovely. The house is very clean and comfortable. Super easy to find the house and check in. Loved having the 2 living rooms. The outdoor space was fantastic. Perfect place to have a cookout and relax. All the furnishings were very comfy and the kitchen was probably the best stocked of any Airbnb we’ve stayed in. The hosts were friendly and responsive. We didn’t have any issues during our stay, and I would definitely recommend this house to anyone staying in the area. Look forward to coming back next year.

This was hands down the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in, and for so many reasons. From start to finish, communication was flawless. The home itself is a perfect balance of professional designer style and comfortable, practical living. It’s beautifully decorated, and the landscaping is just as stunning. What really sets this place apart, though, is how thoughtfully the hosts have considered every guest’s needs. We arrived to a personalized welcome basket with a heartfelt thank-you card, special graduation gifts for our kids, a bottle of wine, snacks, and cold water. It was a lovely, welcoming touch that made our stay even more memorable. We couldn’t have had a better experience. I truly believe this host sets the bar for what an exceptional Airbnb experience should be. If you're looking for the ultimate stay, look no further!

We enjoyed staying at this property. Located near Gainesville and near the quaint downtown area of Micanopy. Property features local art and several antiques which represents the area so well. Only a short walk to local antique shops and restaurants. Upon arrival, the home was clean, well lit, A/C was on and even a bouquet of fresh flowers. Very cozy place for our family to stay. We had everything we needed. We had several questions prior to our stay. Host was host was helpful and accomodating to our needs. Would recommend!

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

Our stay with Cathy and Dale Lakefront Retreat was nothing short of amazing. They were warm, generous, and super helpful from start to finish. The property is incredibly tranquil with plenty of privacy and nature all around—perfect for outdoor lovers. Birdsong greeted us each morning and evening, so bring binoculars if you’re into birding! Plant lovers, get ready to be wowed by Cathy’s stunning tropical collection. Local gems like The Grove Shack and Italian Betty’s hit the spot, and the BBQ truck on the corner was a delicious surprise. If you’re looking to unwind, reset, and escape the rat race, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Excellent location, very clean, and easy right out front parking!! Will definitely stay again if we can get a reservation. With the location right across from UF, it’s probably super booked!

I really enjoyed my stay here and the location is great! Norma and Mike are super responsive and helpful. There were plenty of heaters to keep the house warm in the cold days and the place is stocked with many things to make a long stay comfortable. The location is close to many parks and there was so many things to do nearby. The bed was a bit softer than what is comfortable for me but I still slept well and had a great month!

Lovely place close to the springs. Would use again in the future.

This place was so unique and fun to stay in, it was exactly in the area I wanted and I felt transported into the heart of historic duck pond. I loved how quiet it was and after longs days of travel and sights coming back to a place where I could unwind was so important. Anna Marie is easy to get a hold of and courteous, her place is clean and well stocked with amenities that one might need on a short or long stay. Would recommend and would stay there again

I had a few doctor appointments, and this place was perfectly located. It was just like the description, and the balcony at the back was perfect for relaxation and stargazing.

Great place to stay in Gainesville! Tina is a great host.

Very nice place clean & comfortable! Pictures matched up! I would recommend this home.

This is a nice condo in a very quiet and peaceful area. Several restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance. Other restaurants within a short drive. Grocery stores nearby as well. We attended UF graduation and although this condo was a few miles longer drive than something closer to campus, it is well worth it. Haile Village is a nice area in Gainesville. We highly recommend renting this condo.

Great place to stay and a lot of things to do in the area, as well as the host being very flexible and communicative.

This was a nice little spot! The laminate wood flooring throughout gave the unit a really nice feel, and everything was spotlessly clean upon arrival. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of having easily accessible charging plugs right next to the bed – so convenient! The water pressure in the shower was also great. Beyond the practicalities, the inside was quite stylish. It offered a comfortable amount of space for one person or a couple. The location was great for my needs, offering easy access to Gainesville while being just on the outskirts of the University of Florida. I'd definitely recommend this Airbnb!

Great condo and location. Best stay we’ve experienced in Haile Village. Small problem with air conditioning upon check-in; contacted Jessica and fixed immediately. Thanks so much for the stay-would rent again while visiting Gainesville.

My husband and I so enjoyed our stay. We were looking for somewhere to unwind for a couple of days. The condo was perfect and we took advantage of the lovely weather and used the pool. Thank you Steven. We would certainly recommend your ab&b ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay at this property. The condo was very clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect for exploring Gainesville and surrounding areas. Would recommend.

It’s an older property, but owner tries their best to keep it in good condition. Was cheaper than a hotel and had much more room for our group. Would rent it again.
