Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Gainesville

Perfect location for visiting our college kids, attending ceremonies on campus and near our favorite restaurants and stores. The house is immaculate, comfortable and well decorated. The fenced yard is great for our little dog. We own a short term rental and stay in them often. Stephen's communication is probably the best we have ever experienced. We will definitely be back!

Jarred was a wonderful host! He and his team promptly responded to our questions and were very helpful. The house was in a peaceful neighborhood and we truly enjoyed it. Being close to Devil Millhopper State Park was a nice perk.

We didn't get to enjoy all the house had because we were on the move the whole time we were there. But would love to go again! It was clean, and had all the extras to make you feel like you were wanted there. Hosts were great with our requests regarding pets, and we were very grateful. Definitely would recommend!

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.

What a beautiful home, from the moment we walked in, it was so comfy and homey. The home was just as described and most importantly it was very clean! The surroundings were so peaceful and green. The hosts were amazing, really went over and beyond to make us feel at home. They thought of everything by providing toiletries in case we forgot something and some welcome treats as well which was a very special surprise. We were in town for graduation but we will definitely be back just to relax and enjoy the tranquility this home offers.

Danny did a great job hosting this Airbnb! I needed to check in a bit early for a business trip, and he was very accommodating and quick to help resolve the issue. I definitely recommend staying here!

Our stay went well without any issues at all. Excellent communication-- very quick response time and very thorough which was appreciated. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and was well stocked with essentials -- more than most in so far as paper towels, toilet paper, soaps, etc... which was a pleasant surprise. Beds were comfy which is one of the most important things to me personally. Location was convenient to everything that we needed. My only recommendation would be for the back deck to be replaced soon. Otherwise everything was great and I would stay again if in the area. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay so much. The cabin is well stocked with thoughtful details, including the Information booklet. The aquifer water is truly special and delicious! The peace and quiet of the property are blissful, including the grazing deer and pileated woodpeckers calling through the woods. The river access cannot be overvalued…We swam the Iche around 5 pm and literally had the run entirely to ourselves. Well, along with several birds including a night and green heron. What bliss! Kim was incredibly responsive with clear communication. The “neighborhood” is well cared for and easy to navigate either walking or driving. The cabin was a lucky find and I’m already looking at future booking.

is a nice place to stay, is clean and you have everything you need to feel good.

We had such a lovely time! So easy to find and close to the springs!

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

Great stay! The condo location next to UF was perfect for my work trip. Margaret was a great host and the condo was well stocked with all the amenities. I would definitely stay again!

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.

We enjoyed feeding the animals. We brought apples and carrots for them. The baby goats are adorable, and Highland cows and donkeys and ponies! We rented a slip for our bass boat at Sportsmans Cove nearby. The fishing was not very good maybe due to time of year, but we caught a few small bass. The hydrilla is thick throughout Orange Lake. The Airbnb had a comfortable bed. We requested an additional portable heater because the one heater wasn't enough for both rooms, and it was immediately provided. . The induction stove has only one burner, but there is also a crock pot and an air fryer and outdoor grill. As other reviews stated, the dogs do bark in the mornings at times, and roosters crow very early. We used ear plugs at night which helped us to sleep. Don't miss the huge old Live Oak in their front yard that's hundreds of years old!

110% met our expectations. Tomy was responsive and very accommodating. Home is very clean and comfortable. Neighborhood is very nice. Very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend! Thanks Tomy :)

Will stay there again

This was my second time staying at William’s Airbnb, and it was just as magical as the first! The place is absolutely stunning—so beautiful and majestic, with a peaceful energy that makes you feel right at home. William and Claudia are incredible hosts—so warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. Every detail is perfectly curated, and you can truly feel the love they’ve poured into the space. I can’t recommend this place enough, and I already know I’ll be coming back again!

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.

Highly recommend this peaceful spot if you’re looking to recharge and check out a beautiful area about 30 min outside Gainesville, though it feels much further away when you’re there. Very convenient for multiple Temple of the Universe visits, access to trails and natural springs where you can swim, kayak and paddle board in crystal clear waters. The Chai home is just as sweet as pictured and the hosts were easy to work with and kind. The land is magical, you can’t not feel it. 💖 My solo 3-night stay was exactly what I needed.. Thank you, Gary and Varuni 🙏

Perfect for our quick weekend getaway for a friend’s graduation, close to everything, super comfortable beds!

I had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and just as described in the listing.

This place was amazing ! VERY VERY CLEAN!! Decor was very nice, everything was freshly stocked. Adel was very friendly and proactive, messaging me before check in. Again, the place was IMMACULATE! So clean ! I appreciate that a lot. We were here for a volleyball tournament and I will stay again next season!

More than amazing property! The location was great and centrally located to everything. The interior of this location is beyond amazing!!! Everything in here was immaculate! This was a last minute need for us while in town and I had messaged the host and she was available very on demand and was very responsive to getting our reservation going and set up. This host was amazing and very responsive and even offered to extend our stay as my project was pending ending (I wasn’t sure if my work project was done yet or not), this host was very patient and understanding and offered to extend my stay. I love all the personal art in this unit and all the personal touches. The hot tub and back yard are also beyond amazing and immaculate. Also, fully stocked with some games which we did enjoy during our stay! The monopoly game was very much fun! This would be a truly ultimate location to visit in prime sports season as well if traveling with a larger party! Highly recommend this unique property!

We had a great stay here! The house was very clean and in a good location. We never felt unsafe. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was very clean. Also, because it’s Gainesville, everything is 10-15 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again on a future visit!
