Kanapaha Weekend Wedding

I booked this property as a place to get ready for my wedding at kanapaha botanical gardens and as a place to stay on my wedding night. This place was so perfect for the occasion! So clean, really beautiful space and a perfect giant closet for my bridesmaids and I to get ready in. Plus the host was quick to respond and very communicative

This is a beautiful house in a beautiful community, if you are looking to explore around Gainesville this is the place to be. The host is great which made the stay all that much more enjoyable. This is a dog friendly property but you would never know with the cleanliness.

Great Stay at Finley Woods

We only stayed 1 night however the accommodations were just as described and very welcoming. Communication was great. The only downfall was that we have a dog and the yard was not mowed in the back so the weeds were tall. Other than that- the stay was excellent.

Perfect home away from home!

Kyla’s home was the perfect place for my family to stay during my graduation weekend at UF! The check-in process is beyond easy, the home is clean, well-equipped with cooking and cleaning supplies, and a perfect distance to restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, and the University. Kyla was also incredibly accommodating and quick to respond when I realized I needed to adjust my stay by one day; she made the change quickly and easily. I highly recommend this property and will definitely be booking a stay again when I return to catch a game as an alumni!! Thanks again, Kyla!!

Beautiful place with plenty of space

This beautiful home exceeded our expectations! It was spotless, tastefully decorated, and very spacious. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us. We played games on the screened in porch and in the living room. The neighborhood was conveniently located for access to the university (Go Gators!) and lots of great restaurants. There was a recommendation on the refrigerator for Piesanos and we ate there one night. We had such a wonderful time!
