About this house rental
Nestled in Gainesville, this charming house for $120 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Walking distance to Coffee Culture, Planet Fitness and Alfred A. Ring Park Trail. Centrally located 2 to 2.5 miles from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, downtown Gainesville, and UF Health Shands Hospital. Enjoy this comfortable mid-century home featuring vaulted ceilings with impressive exposed beams. This home has been furnished and decorated with a peaceful and comfortable ambiance. Get ready to relax and enjoy Gainesville! THE SPACE: If you are looking for a comfortable home that is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood in Gainesville, then this is for you! Walking distance to the following: - morning coffee at Coffee Culture - your workout in at Planet Fitness - experience the peaceful trail at Alfred A. Ring Park You will find a lot of mid-century charm here, including the ceiling with exposed beams, built in closets in every room, and the original wood floors. There is also a built-in oven that many would say works better than modern ovens (heats 50 degrees hotter than the temperature you set). There is also a built-in radio in the wall that doesn't work perfectly without static, but you can still hear the radio on it which many guests find as a neat experience. For those looking to stay in, a 55-inch flatscreen smart TV with access to Netflix, Hulu, etc. is available. In addition, a stocked kitchen is available for guests to cook and dine at their convenience.. LOCATED: Coffee Culture is on the same block and is a short walk. The coffee is delicious with inexpensive prices, and it's a great place to bring a laptop and get work done. You won't be dissapointed! The closest grocery store is Winn-Dixie in walking distance. Keep in mind that Ward's Supermarket is a quick 3 minute drive from the house and it has a wide array of fresh produce and plenty of natural and organic options. This is as local as it gets in Gainesville when it comes to grocery stores! For outdoor lovers, Alfred A. Ring Park is a 10 minute walk away and it's very relaxing nature trail. OTHER THINGS TO NOTE: Make sure NOT to park on the street that is the same side as the house because it's a tow away zone. The other side of the street is perfectly fine. There is an external camera looking outside the front door to ensure that the correct amount of guests in the reservation are staying at the property.

Exactly as advertised, great mid-century house with plenty of space for a large group of people. Centrally located and extremely convenient shopping and dining. Host is responsive and provided timely access details and thorough information pertaining to the property. Will definitely rent again, next time the family is in town.

I was in town for my daughters surgery- was so thankful for this place to stay. Only thing I would change is the oven. Could use a once over or replacement. The couch could use a little cleaning as well.
Other than that we enjoyed our stay!

Overall the place was okay. Sinks were low, shower height and lights were really low, floor was taped so maybe a remodel caused the amenities to be lower than standard. It was close to where we needed to be and suitable for the weekend.

We traveled for work, and after a long day, this was the perfect home to unwind at. The couch is unbelievably comfortable.

Location is perfect for easy access to the springs and downtown Gainesville. We had 2 Couples and 3 kids and had plenty of room. The living room is very spacious and a great place to gather at the end of the day and relax!

My husband and I needed to come to Gainesville for some appointments that were going to take a full day. We have a dog that can get antsy in hotel rooms so I have found VRBO’s are just more comfortable. We also just wanted to get away for a couple of days. Peaceful Vibes definitely fit the bill. The neighborhood was very quiet. The house was quite comfortable and has a long back yard to play ball. Only issue was the Wi-Fi was a bit sporadic and would cut out during movies.
We enjoyed driving around the area as well. Back in 1991, the current site of the Lowe’s store up the street was once a department store where my husband I met! That as many moons ago, but the Hungry Howie’s is still there! Good memories! Lot of great places to eat nearby and there is a coffee place on the corner within walking distance.
Owner was great at communicating and provided all necessary information timely.
Will definitely look into staying here again when we need to come back up during the year!

We stayed here for UF Preview (orientation) with our daughter. This property was very close to campus and offered great coffee shop within walking distance. House was very clean and has a large garage for parking. Jarred was very responsive and professional. Keep in mind that most neighborhoods near campus are older model homes, but this property was very clean and well kept. Beds were great. We would definitely return for another stay.

I needed a property for my family to stay and attend my daughter's UF graduation. The location of this property is fantastic. Close to all of the campus activities and about a 5 minute easy drive to the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. It is a short walking distance to a very nice coffee shop "Coffee Culture". The property was exceptional for us because it allowed us to travel with our dogs and have a FENCED IN back yard with a lot of room to run. The property was clean and everything was in good working order. And very easy to communicate with the owner. Thanks Jarred for hosting us!

My 3 friends and I travel quite a bit together to get the heck out of town sometimes. We threw a dart at Gainesville and stayed the weekend. The house is adorable! It is well-cared-for, simply decorated, and well provisioned. The little house has been redone but not so much as to have taken any character away. The big glass windows in the living room made us very happy! The owner was nothing but kind and helpful and quick to respond. In my opinion, definitely a 5 star house. We will be back!

Jarred is very communicative and cares very much that you are comfortable and happy. Master bed was comfortable. We could park our car in the garage, which is something you don't find often. Everything worked.

Spacious, comfortable house with fenced in backyard
Our family with teens stayed here while in town to visit UF. The large living space was great - plenty of room for family games, large eating area, and room to spread out for a movie. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen is not updated but has everything you need. Attached garage available. Quiet neighborhood, cute little coffee shop one block down.
