Graduation Weekend

Stayed the weekend to attend my brother’s UF graduation and we loved the house. The location is great, super close to campus and great neighborhood. The house is spacious and very well stocked with anything you’ll need and the kitchen has all the essentials. This has been one of the cleanest rentals we have stayed at. Very nicely decorated and beautiful view from the ceiling to floor window in the living/ dining room area. The host was very nice and attentive, communication was super fast. If we’re back in town this will be our go to rental for sure.

Return to the Sunshine House

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

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!!

Sunshine House

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!

Dog friendly :D, CLEAN, convenient to UF

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

Even my MOTHER loved it!

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!!!
