Nice, quiet stay close to campus

Very cute little house in Gainesville. We were visiting our student at UF. Nice quiet location but close to everything; we were able to walk to restaurants downtown and also to the university easily. It was convenient but off the beaten path.

Felt right at home

We stayed at the “Peach house” for the gator FB opening game with another couple. Our stay was fantastic. We each had our own separate bedroom and bathroom, yet so much nicer than staying in a hotel. The house was clean and updated and Jennifer was great to work with. We will definitely stay again in the future.

Cute house

The Peach House is super cute, clean and newly remodeled. The location to downtown is convenient and Parking on the street was not an issue for two vehicles (our trucks would not fit in the small driveway.). It is in a gentrification neighborhood which I why I gave the location 4 Stars. Otherwise,everything else about it was great.

Great location comfy house

Stayed at the Peach House while my husband was having surgery at Shands, it was the perfect retreat after visiting hours ended. It was clean, I loved the front porch and back yard space. The neighbors were giving away free mangoes. We had a lovely stay where the family could relax.
