This was our 2nd time visiting the Sunshine House, this time for our son’s 21st birthday. It did not disappoint! The house was exceptionally clean, had all kitchen amenities to make meals, & close proximity to UF & local restaurants. Our small dog loved exploring while we relaxed on the back patio. It is surrounded by a lovely, quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walking. We look forward to returning!

The Sunshine House is fabulous! The house was spotless and well thought out with tons of space for our group. Beds are comfortable and the lighting in the bathrooms is great! (You rarely find King beds or good lighting!!) also a great location close enough to to campus but just off the main streets. Highly recommend!!

We had a lovely time at the Sunshine House for Easter weekend & the UF Florida Relays. My husband and our 3 adult children stayed with us in the spacious home, which was in close proximity to UF, Publix, shopping & restaurants. We especially enjoyed the fenced in backyard garden area. The house was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet & shaded, which was perfect for taking walks. Stephen, the owner, was responsive & a wonderful host. We plan to be back!

The Sunshine House was perfect for all of us (including my dogs!) as we were in town for my daughter's graduation. The house is clean, very comfortable, had plenty of towels and blankets and even has a washer/dryer if needed. The kitchen is ready and well stocked for cooking, including a nice set of grill utensils. I did bring paper plates, napkins, gallon size bags, etc but only because we drove there so was able to bring stuff in the car. The home is in a quiet and safe neighborhood just minutes to Publix and very close to UF as well. Would absolutely love to stay there again if we ever travel back to Gainesville!!

This was my first home rental experience, and I was pretty stressed about making everyone happy. If I had only read all the comments beforehand, I might have realized this house was going to be perfect. This super clean house was very spacious for our party of 5 and 2 dogs. Everyone loved the cool, updated features and decor. And like someone mentioned below, this house had more than everything we needed. I think there were 3 kinds of coffee pots, including expresso and Keurig. My furbabies appreciated exploring the yard and resting in the dog bed. Thank you so much for making this a great and relaxing trip!!!

We chose the Sunshine House, first, for its location close to UF because we were on a college visit for our daughter. The style of the house REALLY appealed to our daughter AND being able to park the car in the garage sold the Sunshine house to my husband :D. I loved the house because it is dog friendly with a fenced in back yard and a quiet neighborhood. The interior design of the Sunshine House is very comfortable. Everything we needed to cook dinner, do laundry, bathrooms were perfect, beds are super comfortable, and easy access to the outside for the dogs. From check-in to check-out - our stay was perfect. We are very happy we chose the Sunshine house for our 4 day visit. When we visit UF again, this would be our first choice of places to stay (hopefully it will be available :D). We had a couple of questions for Stephen who responded quickly. Thank you Stephen for sharing Sunshine House with us! :D

Lovely, spacious, well-equipped home--what you see in the photos is what's there! Our family of 4 and our dog had a wonderful time visiting our extended family in Gville. The layout is perfect--lots of comfortable seating and everyone can be together in the open kitchen/dining/living area. The home was prepped with everything we needed, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, hand soap, etc. Plus the owners provided coffee, tea, and a variety of cream options. So thoughtful and appreciated! Last but not least, our dog loved the very private, fenced back yard. There was lots for her to check out--ferns, pretty camellia bushes, some trees, and grass too. There was even a water/food bowl for her, and a large, comfy dog bed. If you're wondering if you'll enjoy staying here--you will! Many thanks to the owners for providing such a lovely experience!

Nicely updated house. Stayed with the family and 2 small dogs. Neighborhood was beautiful, well kept and the house was really close to UF. Hosts were very responsive and instructions were perfect. Loved the little signs of where everything was in the kitchen and on the light switches. Made my life a lot easier! Definatley will stay again.
