Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests: “We had a great stay at the Blue Bungalow. The house was immaculate and beds were comfy. Everything was as described, and Jennifer was super responsive. A great place to stay when visiting UF!” –Wendy “Jennifer’s place was perfect for our group of 7 for graduation weekend. There was plenty of space for all of us. The house was quiet and clean and we were able to easily cook meals in the kitchen. The area is very safe and walkable. Jennifer was a great host and quickly responded to any questions we had. Highly recommend this place!” –Elena “Our stay at the Blue Bungalow was flawless from beginning to end. Everything you could possibly need was in the house and easily accessible. The house was extremely clean and well thought out. We were there for my Gator 2023’s graduation and were so thrilled to be able to share this time with family in this beautiful home. Jen was wonderful to us, even surprising us with some cookies to help celebrate my daughter’s graduation. She is very prompt when answering any and all questions and offering any advice about things to do in the area. I just wish I would have found the Blue Bungalow sooner since I visited my daughter frequently over the past 4 years. Nevertheless, it was great to say goodbye to Gainesville in style.” –Bernadette ★★ ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS ★★ Home to the University of Florida, Gainesville offers a wide range of activities.
