Serenity Haven: 5 Min Walk to UF Campus!

Welcome to this cozy and inviting cottage right off of University Avenue! You cannot beat the location of this renovated home – it lies on a quiet, tree-lined street a five minute walk to the Ben Hill Griffin football stadium and UF's main campus. With tons of space inside and outside to accommodate a larger group, this is the perfect spot to choose on your next trip to Gator Nation.

With four bedrooms and comfortable sleeping arrangements, you and your guests will have plenty of space to unwind.

Beautiful home with great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was lovely and the outdoor area great for a group of 10 to hang out. We were there for our daughter’s graduation and were able to walk to the ceremony. Would definitely stay here again!

Serenity Haven - aptly named!

My son and I chose Serenity Haven for his second post-op recovery location. The area is convenient to medical facilities, groceries, restaurants and everything we need. The house is beautifully decorated and the thick towels, comfort of the beds and relaxing back yard all contributed to a healing environment - times 2! We are grateful for Maria and her team, especially Tristan, for adding to our comfort this week.
