📍 Gainesville: More Than Just a College Town 🐊💙

As the last football home game of the season wraps up, we’re reminded once again of the incredible sense of community that Gainesville brings. UF undeniably drives much of the city’s energy, but there’s so much more to this place than just students and university events.

When you look past the hustle of game days and campus life, you’ll find a town with a welcoming small-town feel, rich culture, breathtaking nature spots, and some of the most passionate people you’ll ever meet. Gainesville offers the perfect balance—a place where you can truly stand out and make your mark while still finding serenity and endless opportunities for exploration.

We’re proud to call Gainesville home and love being part of this incredible community. Here’s to celebrating everything that makes our town special! 🌿✨

Gratitude in the Midst of the Storm 🌟

We are deeply touched by the kind words from one of our guests who stayed with us during such a challenging time. After their home suffered significant damage during the hurricane, they chose to stay with us for a short-term stay—and we’re so grateful we could provide a safe, comfortable place for them to call home when they needed it most.

At StayGainesville, our mission goes beyond offering a place to stay. We aim to be a refuge, a source of comfort, and a reminder that even in the toughest moments, community and care can make a difference. Your words remind us why we do what we do, and we’re so thankful we could be part of your journey to recovery.

To everyone rebuilding after the storm, know that you’re not alone, and we’re here to help however we can. 💙

Thank you for trusting us and letting us be part of your story. 🏡✨

🌿✨ Spotlight on Qavia Lopez, one of our incredible StayGainesville Rep Program members and a standout on the UF Tennis Team! 🐊🎾 We love getting insights from those who know Gainesville best, so last week, we asked Qavia three questions about her favorite local spots:
1. Favorite Sport Outside Your Own: “Basketball is my favorite, both to watch and play. The energy in the O-Dome during big games is incredible—the crowd, the atmosphere, everything comes together to make it such a memorable experience.”
2. Favorite Local Eatery: “Dragonfly is a fantastic sushi spot with a great selection of dishes and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to meet up with friends and enjoy a great meal after a long day.”
3. Hidden Gem: “Lake Alice is my go-to spot when I need some time to unwind. Walking around the lake, taking in the peaceful views, and occasionally spotting wildlife makes it a beautiful escape right on campus.”

Stay tuned for more insider insights from our Rep Program members!
