Christie was an excellent host who communicated well both before and during my stay. Directions were clear, and the property is clean and in a very nice neighborhood. I went for a walk in the morning and really liked the shaded sidewalks (especially in the August heat and humidity), and the other people I met up with were friendly.

Oct 4, 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication I drove down from GA and when I passed Gainesville FL host called on my cellphone claiming the circuit breaker had gone out and the linens had not been washed and would not be ready by 4 PM. Luckily, I got there later. There were no bowls in the kitchen. There was no can opener in the kitchen. I had to request both.The place was cute but had a musty odor. The HVAC return was covered with dirt. What looked like a kitchen drawer was a fake drawer and when I tried to open it, it fell out and hit my foot. Because of my asthma, I had asked the host not to use Glade plug-ins or scented candles and she did comply. She also claimed she washed linens in fragrance free which I did not actually request. However, the place was musty and damp so it was not OK for me and I told her I would probably have to leave the next morning. She told me she was not responsible for my sensitivities so I said OK. She went downstairs and texted me a long somewhat threatening message concluding by telling me I had better not complain. I packed up at 4 AM and waited in my vehicle until daylight to drive off and check into the Courtyard Marriott later that day.I was down there on a doctor consult. I am so glad I was honest and stayed w VRBO as they have protected me from an unscrupulous host. ![Dirty hvac return ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4771ede4-1eac-431a-9841-2fa25499eaae-1759580495536.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Fake kitchen drawer fell off ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/af013ec9-e9ce-45bc-8812-638131d7ef42-1759580495848.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gillian aka Jill N.
