    LUXURIOUS FINISHES: This home was thoughtfully designed and curated with you in mind! Each choice, from the comfortable beds, high-end soft, white linens, plush pillows & clean, charming aesthetics to the fully functional & renovated kitchen you will love. This vacation home will feel like your home away from home.

    PERFECT FLOOR PLAN: The floor plan is ideal for couples getaways or families, with two private KING ensuites separated by the beautiful fully-remodeled living areas. It's also PET-FRIENDLY! I welcome you to bring your furry family members (up to 2) as I love traveling with mine! It's such a peace of mind and they will love the backyard too!

    PRIVATE BACKYARD: The fully-fenced private backyard is also designed for your enjoyment! It features a gas firepit and string lights to enchant your evenings! Simply add your favorite glass of (x) and make some memories grilling out or enjoying your time spent with loved ones. This townhome features a large deck with a small dining table and lounge furniture. It also has a large gas grill as well for your BBQ afternoons or nights-in!

    CENTRALLY LOCATED: The home is centrally located in the heart of SW Gainesville 2 miles from UF and very close to Shands and the UF vet hospital. Archer road and all its amenities are steps away! If you’re looking to explore it’s also very close to I75 and 30 minutes from Ginny Springs and lots of outdoor adventure.

    COMFORTS OF HOME: It really is the small details that will make your stay comfortable. The little amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, laundry and dish soaps, plenty of toiletries and coffee are provided! If there is something that would enhance your stay you recommend I add, I would love to consider it!

    FREE PARKING (and plenty of it). There are two free parking spaces in front of the home as well as open-street parking for guests if needed directly in front of the home.

    BEDROOMS
    One of the most important parts of your home away from home is a good night’s rest! Each of the beds have hotel-quality white linens and at least four pillows. Each bedroom also has its own fan (FL necessity!) for your comfort.

    - Bedroom Ensuite #1: KING size, closet, ensuite with shower.

    - Bedroom Ensuite #2: KING size, closet, Shower/tub combo and access to patio/backyard

    KITCHEN
    Modern, fully equipped, includes microwave, toaster and new SS appliance suite as well as quartz counters. We stock some basic items for you such as coffee, salt, pepper, paper towels, sponges & dish soap & etc. There is a Keurig coffee maker for your enjoyment.

    LIVING ROOM
    Living room: Comfy sofa with chaise and club chair with 60" Smart TV and a bench for extra seating as-needed.

    I look forward to hosting you and I am happy to answer any questions you may have!

    *Some kind words from past guests*

    "Extremely pleased with our stay here. My daughter was graduating from University of Florida and we were centrally located for all the activities. The place is super comfy with aesthetic touches and attention to detail. We felt right at home. Definitely recommend."

    "Perfect ! Wouldn't change a thing. Just as pictured only better. Clean, beautifully decorated, cozy, comfy furniture and bedding, great, well stocked kitchen, will recommend and definitely stay again with Kate. Loved it. Convenient to Shands and University."

    "This is my second stay, and it absolutely won’t be the last! I can’t wait until next year‘s tennis tournament to stay at Kate‘s again. The decor is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen has up-to-date appliances. The resident is squeaky, clean and makes you feel completely right at home. This accommodation is centrally located to absolutely any and everything that you would like to do. I’m looking to come back for another stay just because! But surely next year for this tennis tournament! A complete home away from home! Kate is an awesome communicator, and a very gracious and perfect host!"

    "We've stayed at Kate's multiple times the past few years and it's like coming home each time:)"

    Guest access
    The entire home (no shared spaces), two parking spaces and a fenced in backyard
    Other things to note
    There are two parking spaces for the home right in front as well as open street parking. The home is also PET-FRIENDLY!

    My goal is for you to know exactly the home you're booking so it meets and exceeds your expectations so you may have an excellent getaway! As you enter the street you will see some of the initial homes are rentals and not as nicely kept, while the rear/remainder of the street are all family homes. It is a wonderfully centrally located, safe, and quiet neighborhood. Gainesville is an eclectic mixing bowl of renters, students and families alike! I have been happily hosting (now thousands of guests) here for over 8 years and I lived here myself for 4! I am happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to hosting you!
