No pool usage!!!!😡😡😡
We come to Florida every March, we are from Wisconsin, so we always book a house with a pool, we love to swim, the pool was not filtering, we told the owner, they did send someone out three times, but it was never fixed,to say it ruined our vacation is an understatement, the house and everything else was great.

Great Host and place
Everything accommodated our travel softball team and parents. Great location and amenities. The Host Javier was super supportive of our request and needs and even offered us a late checkout to allow us to play our games without the worry of rushing our checkout. Would definitely use his property again when we come back in the summer.

Reunion of friends and UF Graduation - MS Microbiology
We had a great time at the Hidden Lake property. It was perfect for our relatively large group, and the flow of the kitchen, dining area and living room was great, with the bedrooms offering privacy off the main flow. It was a beautiful location, only wish we had better weather to enjoy the outdoor areas more (quite the rainy weekend (& of course, no fault of the owner!). Despite the weather, the house is open and spacious and we had no complaints. Conveniently located close to UF campus, with plenty of nearby shopping for everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!!

Beautiful home
We traveled to Gainesville for my son’s wedding. My family and came from different states and stayed in this home. The home was spacious and just a beautiful home. We loved spending time by the fire pit in the evenings, having dinner together. The home is closed to several restaurants and grocery stores. Very very convenient location. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay very much. I had to reach out to Javier a couple of times, and he responded right away, he’s very friendly and he ensured we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this property.

Awesome Location!
This property is a peaceful retreat in the heart of Gainesville. It’s feels like you’re miles away from the city, surrounded by the beauty of nature. Within minutes you will find all the amenities Gainesville has to offer, grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, and of course the University of Florida. The house accommodated our family of twelve very well. There’s plenty of room inside and out for all to enjoy.
