Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Gainesville

We needed somewhere to stay for the Florida game. Kimia was proactive about check in, and very friendly and helpful. The space was very cozy with a great view, and within walking distance of several restaurants and the stadium.

Excellent place to stay! Great location! Near UF.

We came to Gainesville for a Florida football game. Amy’s place was conveniently located near campus and a quiet, cozy retreat before and after the big game. The condo was well stocked and peaceful. Amy was very communicative and very thoughtful making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. Great stay! Would stay again!

Hannah is a wonderful host. I enjoyed my stay from October 10th till January 6th 2025. the place is unique & close to the UF. Thank you Hannah

Wonderful host will stay again!

We thought that Marcos’s AirBnB was fantastic. It was a large beautiful, spacious apartment set in a wonderful village community in the countryside and only about 3 miles from the city. We had everything we needed in the apartment and also had access to the swimming pool and gymnasium. Outside in the village there were a few bars, cafe’s, restaurants and shops. Also the communication with Marcos was first class, receiving prompt and clear instructions about how to get into the property. We also thought that the apartment was excellent value for money and we would recommend anyone who needs to stay in Gainesville to check Marcos’s apartment out.

Vacasa/host was very responsive when needed and had questions and the apartment was very clean and modern. If local host was not available, the chat feature provided a good backup for questions . A great location to the nearby indoor track which was the purpose of our visit. There are two bedrooms and sofa. There were sufficient kitchenware to cook but cooking utensils were limited to mostly silverware. Will definitely look to this place if we return !

We enjoyed our stay.. Host was very quick to respond to my questions. The King Condo was just as described Very comfortable & convenient to Campus

Margaret's place it great. I had to bring my dog for consultation at the University of Florida Small Animal Hospital and Margaret's place is literally 2 blocks away so it was perfect for me! The university is right around the corner and very convenient for everything on Archer. The complex is very quiet and easy to get to. The parking is right outside the door and check-in was a breeze. Will definitely stay again if it's available.

It was my first time using airbnb giri was a great host, very responsive & the whole house was very clean!

Maria‘s rental was just as stated in her listing. It was very clean, kitchen was well furnished, and the back seating area was so peaceful. We truly enjoyed our stay. Also, Maria did a great job of communicating with us prior to, during, and after our stay. Would definitely rent her place again if we were in the area

Host was extremely responsive and very helpful. Property is a little outdated and pool was dirty. Surrounding area a little run down but plenty of space in this condo.

This place was great, exactly as described. I would stay at one of Giri’s listings again! We used this condo for a very last minute and quick trip to watch a cousin graduate. The 6 of us had plenty of space and were very comfortable for our short stay.

We attended the graduation ceremony at the University of Florida to celebrate my daughter’s achievement, and we truly loved every moment of our stay at Sally’s condo. The village feels like it’s straight out of a Hallmark movie, complete with amazing restaurants and a vibrant farmers market every Saturday. I only wish we had discovered this gem four years ago when my daughter first started at UF! Every detail is thoughtfully arranged for guests' comfort. We highly recommend staying at Sally’s place!

This is a two-level condo in a large but quiet development with the bedrooms above the living and kitchen space. Easy access to major roads made travel easy, and large, open, comfortable space on the first floor made it the perfect place to relax and recover between events at an athletic competition twenty minutes west. Restaurants within a mile (eg, BJs for dinner and First Watch for breakfast) made eating easy when we were too tired to cook. The host responds within minutes (literally) to every question. We will be back!

My kids and I really enjoyed the BNB and amenities on site! The RV had everything we needed and then some! Melissa was very helpful and responsive! She gave me a heads up to bring fishing poles and thankfully she did! The resort has a little bit of everything you could need! The BNb itself was so cute and had a peaceful atmosphere in and around it! Lots of room inside also!

This place is a hidden gem! Close enough to everything you could do in the Gainesville area but far enough away to be away from the hustle and bustle. Heather was super helpful with suggestions for my family and very responsive whenever we reached out. Loved the little neighborhood and the other residents were nice as well. Additionally, the little things that Heather did for us really hit home, super sweet of her! When we come back to Gainesville, we will be staying here.

Tiania’s home is beautiful and very well laid out to accommodate our larger group of nine. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was very clean. It is in a gated community, so it was definitely safe and very peaceful. This is a very quality built home and is furnished with modern decor. She gave very clear instructions and the process was very easy.

Radhika and Sudevi are the nicest people :) The place was very clean and comfortable. It made me so happy to stay with them because I felt so welcome and invited! they are excellent hosts.

Perfect and peaceful! We were extremely comfortable throughout our stay! The location is perfect and we lacked for nothing. Highly recommended jem of a home!

Another wonderful stay at Matthew’s place in Ocala! This was our second time staying and we are already looking at dates to book for next year. The house is exactly like the pictures and very comfortable. The furniture and carpets and kitchen and bedrooms are very clean. All the linens are labeled and had extras. They provided lots of paper products for us and fun games for the kids to have in the yard. There’s a huge garage, which is easy for loading and unloading. Had a backyard that we did not use enough but there’s a lot of space to the lot. We are not fans of charcoal so didn’t use the grill. The bedrooms are spacious and each has a set of drawers in them. Matthew was super responsive. Anytime we had difficulty he responded and even refunded us for a night when there were local water issues that impacted our stay even though it was out of his control and not his fault, he still went above and beyond to make us happy. It was another great Florida circuit in our home away from home!

Worked out so well for us as it’s very close and easy to get to the WEC

Perfect place to stay while visiting my daughter at UF. Great location, about 5-7 minute drive to campus. Quiet, peaceful location.
