Great stay at the Oasis

We had an extended stay at the Oasis and the place took good care of us. Weather it was 40 degrees at night or close to 9o at the end of the day we were in comfort. The home is spacious with an open plan and close to everything. You could not ask for a more centrally located home in Gainesville Florida. Directly across the street from Loblolly Park for long nature hikes and only 20 minutes of walking to the campus stadium. Maybe 30 minutes walking to Butler Plaza. It was great for getting steps in. There is a roomy kitchen and game room as well and a well appointed pool and pool area. Next time we want to be there in summer to use the pool as it was a chilly spring weather wise. also wanted to mention the internet speed was great for work meetings and streaming. Thanks Oasis, Jarred & Lisa for taking care of us.

Beautiful home, perfect for a family!

The Oasis was absolutely perfect. So great for a family and my teens were content staying in the entire time we were in Gainesville! The pool was lovely and the yard space was excellent. We had a bonfire and found wood for sale only a block away at Publix where we could also stock up on groceries. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice home with Fantastic pool!

The property was exactly as advertised. We arrived to a very clean, ordered home. The main feature is the pool and it was fantastic. The neighbors tall trees shade the pool in late afternoon which is an added bonus during the heat of the day. Just be aware that the home is next to a busy street. Honestly, it didn’t bother me at all and the primary bedroom sits in the back and isn’t bothered by any noise that I noticed during the night. The positive is that you are walking distance or very short drive to Publix and a number of good restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and as we will need to be back in the area in the future, we will stay here again.

Good Time in GVille

Was a good home base for a couple days over the 4th. Only issues were minor. Beds not the most comfortable, grill was charcoal not gas. Pool was huge, fire place was great for Smores. Very close to some nice walking trails and a city park. Would suggest to anyone visiting the area. Less than 6 mins to campus as well.

Gal’s Weekend

My group of 4 women were looking for a spa like location for a gals weekend and this home exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was well stocked which allowed us to prepare gourmet meals and eat Al fresco outdoorsy then enjoy an evening of beer, wine and laughter. We enjoyed our days between poolside and game playing. Locally we were able to appreciate the Butterfly exhibit and the convenience of shopping.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Becks

Host profile image
I moved to Gainesville in 2006 to become a gator grad and ended up staying because I fell in love with the city and all it has to offer. I am an avid traveler and enjoy going on outdoor adventures. I'm also a fitness junkie and a huge foodie who loves to try new things!

I am a passionate entrepreneur who owns a personal training business in town called Swamp Fitness. I am also a Realtor and real estate investor. I thrive on having a positive impact on the lives of others.

I love this saying: "Progress not perfection".

My goal as a host is to make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed during you stay. :)

Why they chose this property

The central location doesn't require you to have a car since it's walking distance to everything you need from Publix Supermarket to multiple restaurants. It's just a mile from the University of Florida and centrally located to both local hospitals, midtown, and downtown Gainesville.

The modern updates inside and outside offers a very comfortable and desirable experience from the moment you walk in the door!

What makes this property unique

This property offers an unforgettable experience with the salt pool, shade sail, intimate ambiance with bistro lighting over the pool and pergola, and the game room including something for everyone!
