About this property

Cozy Hideaway in the Duck Pond

Beautiful home in the historic Duck Pond neighborhood. Built in 1930, this newly remodeled home is conveniently located near Downtown, University of Florida, and many unique restaurants.

The entire property is fenced in for complete privacy. Even though you are in downtown Gainesville you will feel peacefully secluded.

The property is unique in that it is the oldest house on the street and features pine trees with evidence of sap harvesting from the turpentine production days.

Home away from home
We are so thankful to have started in such a nice place. The little touches were amazing. We needed to stay a week after we sold our home before we could move to our new home and we loved it here. Loved the fenced yard for our pups. Loved the spacious parking. Thank you for having us!

Wonderful location
Located on an expansive lot with trees and flowers it was a quiet getaway for a Chicagoan. Yet it was also with walking distance of duck pond's beautiful homes, parks, and downtown Gainesville/ U of F so you got two experiences in one place. The home itself had everything you could need, with plenty of coffee sleeping area, TV's and even a little Rhumba vacuum.

Gainesville Getaway
The host was very accommodating and communicative. He provided so many thoughtful touches (snacks, spices, extra blankets, etc.) and made my stay so comfortable and easy. The bed was comfortable and everything was functional and clean. I really enjoyed my time there but was a little disappointed with the neighborhood. The neighbors across the street have a large boat in the front yard and the house next to them is being overtaken with weeds. Some of Duck Pond was absolutely beautiful with stately older homes but it was a little spotty with some derelict properties scattered throughout.

Parents Weekend Success!
We had an uneventful (which is good) stay here! We arrived a little later than expected, but had zero problems getting in. House was older and I’m a little sensitive to smells, but I acclimated just fine. Shower was good. Owner was very prompt in communicating and attentive to any need one might have. We didn’t spend much time there because we were always doing something with our daughter out and about, but I did make my husband play a provided kids board game Sunday before we left! :)
