Whether you’re cheering on a Gator, celebrating a milestone, or simply escaping for a peaceful getaway, this home offers the space and setting to make it special. Wildlife Notice – Natural Pond Area
Our pond is part of Florida’s natural ecosystem and is occasionally visited by a small local alligator.
He is not aggressive and usually stays in or near the water, but for everyone’s safety: • Do not feed the alligator • Do not approach or attempt to touch • Do not throw objects into the pond • No swimming or fishing in the pond • Please supervise children and pets at all times near the water
During warmer months, he may rest on the edge of the pond to sunbathe.
This is very common in Florida and completely safe as long as these simple rules are respected.
We love our peaceful backyard and the wildlife that comes with it — thank you for helping us keep both guests and nature safe. This is a private, serene retreat intended for quiet enjoyment. Parties, events, and unregistered guests are not permitted

If we could give 10 stars we would! The home was spacious, beautiful and quite literally has everything we needed and more. We chose this rental because our youth football league was playing at the Swamp. Traveling with kids and a dog can be difficult finding the right accommodations and we are so glad we chose this one. Great communication, check-in/out was seamless and we had more than enough space. 10 out 10! We will definitely be re-visiting in the future

Wonderful house! 7 adults stated in August for doctoral graduation from UF. The most well stocked VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. Every kitchen gadget imaginable, generous pantry supply, clothes steamer in an incredible laundry room, wine/beer cooler, huge TV’s in every room, speaker system - truly impressive inventory of equipment. House is lovely - nicely decorated, perfect for entertaining, and immaculate. Back yard is lush and private - had deer visit daily and saw turkey across the pond. Pool area is very special, with a fun outdoor game room and multiple outdoor seating areas. . Can’t say enough about this house and its proximity to UF. Christine was super responsive and helpful. Truly a gem on the VRBO site
