Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Alachua

Beautiful home on a perfect lake - I rented both houses for a shared bachelor week, and every was amazing. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, including setting us up with 7 kayaks. The houses were both better than they looked in the pictures, with large modern kitchens and nice furniture. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were nice. Lastly, the docks are great, and there are lots of birds and fish around. Sunsets and sunrises were beautiful, and the property was largely shaded so it was pretty cool throughout the day. There was a bunch of parking.

Pretty nice spot

Gerald’s place with the perfect stop on a road trip through Florida. Having a washer and dryer and quiet, peaceful environment were much appreciated. Gerald was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

My family and I loved this stay! It is well decorated and cozy. Kate is a very caring host and went the extra mile to make this weekend extra special for us. We would highly recommend for other guests to stay here!

Very quiet, peaceful location. Super cute and clean house with nice screened patio and fenced yard for our pups. House was fully stocked with most things you need. Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful weekend in Gainesville at Dana's place! We live in St. Pete and came for a two-night stay with our parents and golden retriever. This house was perfect for us. It was nice to have a fenced in yard so that we could sit outside with our pup. We loved the Duckpond neighborhood -- great parks and breweries all within a five minute drive or 10/15 minute walk. We did a bunch of hiking while we were in town -- definitely recommend Sweetwater Wetlands Park (go early morning or around dusk). It was absolutely beautiful and we saw tons of wildlife. Also loved visiting The Lynx bookstore and Bingo Deli for lunch. Great weekend - thanks, Dana!

Our 2-Night Birthday Getaway 🌟 For my son’s 14th birthday, I wanted to do something special—just the five of us, no distractions, just quality time. As a single mom of four, I don’t always get the chance to slow down, but this short getaway gave us exactly that. We stayed two nights at this cozy Airbnb that felt like a home away from home. The kids were excited the moment we pulled up. The space was peaceful, clean, and perfect for making memories—whether it was staying up late fishing in the lake, sitting around the fire pit together, or just lounging and laughing. The birthday boy felt celebrated, and his smile made every effort worth it. Thank you so much for allowing my family and me to stay in your beautiful home.

Reviews of Brian's house all said that it it was very peaceful, private and relaxing with a beautiful view from the deck. Which were all true. My husband and pup are very good at chilling and really enjoyed their down time there. I enjoyed the two seafood lunches at Cedar River Seafood located only a few miles from the house. They have the best gator tail, ever! Thanks, Brian for hosting us!

A great place for a getaway to Ichetucknee! Had a great vibe and the hosts were wonderful.

This is a nice condo in a very quiet and peaceful area. Several restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance. Other restaurants within a short drive. Grocery stores nearby as well. We attended UF graduation and although this condo was a few miles longer drive than something closer to campus, it is well worth it. Haile Village is a nice area in Gainesville. We highly recommend renting this condo.

We enjoyed feeding the animals. We brought apples and carrots for them. The baby goats are adorable, and Highland cows and donkeys and ponies! We rented a slip for our bass boat at Sportsmans Cove nearby. The fishing was not very good maybe due to time of year, but we caught a few small bass. The hydrilla is thick throughout Orange Lake. The Airbnb had a comfortable bed. We requested an additional portable heater because the one heater wasn't enough for both rooms, and it was immediately provided. . The induction stove has only one burner, but there is also a crock pot and an air fryer and outdoor grill. As other reviews stated, the dogs do bark in the mornings at times, and roosters crow very early. We used ear plugs at night which helped us to sleep. Don't miss the huge old Live Oak in their front yard that's hundreds of years old!

Very beautiful scenery, everything was very clean. The host was very sweet and welcoming. 10/10 stay would recommend!

We had a great time at Johnny’s place. The house was perfect for accommodating a large group. It was a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with families of deer roaming around which was beautiful to see. Everything was exactly as we expected. The house was very spacious and we enjoyed the seventies feel it had. There was plenty of towels, sheets, and blankets for everyone. I really can’t say enough great things about our time here.

The unit was meticulously neat and clean. You have a great cleaning crew! Not a smudge on the white cabinets. The kitchen has plenty of cabinets and you have everything you need if you want to cook and eat in. There’s a complete set of kitchen appliances including Keurig coffee maker. The bathrooms and bedrooms are clean with lots of closet space. The grab bar in the shower is helpful. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. The place is easy to find, a short drive to shopping area and lots of restaurants. 3 suggestions, maybe an ice tray cube in the freezer for when you have water jugs that you want fill up with ice and water to take out with you. Also maybe a bigger shower head, an inexpensive upgrade that will boost its look and functionality. And an extra towel hook in the bathroom. Overall a very nice place, we really enjoyed our stay and highly recommended.

Our stay went well without any issues at all. Excellent communication-- very quick response time and very thorough which was appreciated. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and was well stocked with essentials -- more than most in so far as paper towels, toilet paper, soaps, etc... which was a pleasant surprise. Beds were comfy which is one of the most important things to me personally. Location was convenient to everything that we needed. My only recommendation would be for the back deck to be replaced soon. Otherwise everything was great and I would stay again if in the area. Thank you!

We are a family of 6 with a toddler. We split our vacation in half, a condo by the beach and house close to the springs. Everyone was in agreement that this house was definitely the highlight of the trip. Way better than expected, pristine and luxe. We all appreciated that everything we needed and wanted was provided, but not only that, but the best of it and in bulk. Sensitive skins over here, so sensitive products were a great touch. Appliances, pots and pans -- everything was quality. The primary bed -- Oh so comfy!! Could go on and on. If we get the opportunity, which we might because so many springs are close to here, would definitely come back.

Ann was extremely accommodating & helpful! She responds to texts right away with any issues. This tiny home is adorable! It is extremely clean, with more cleaning products available. The water pressure is good, the toilet is new, the water gets VERY hot! 1 loft has stairs, while the other is more like a ladder- but very sturdy & well built/solid wood & beautiful! The backyard is quite large but also includes leafy green bush’s that I don’t feel comfortable letting my dogs just run, but only because I’m not from here & it’s unfamiliar. It’s a 4’ fence. My son talks about the Tiny home nonstop now! It was his favorite place! Looks like I’ll have to build something for him! (He’s 10) I had MANY deliveries during my stay & after I left they kept coming! Ann actually brought them to me at my next location! (I’m in town to rent a long term house) I absolutely cannot say enough about Ann & her T.H. But I’m out of space! Thank you so much Ann!

Perfect for our quick weekend getaway for a friend’s graduation, close to everything, super comfortable beds!

Great place, clean and exactly as described. Would stay there again.

I had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and just as described in the listing.

I’m very pleased with our stay at Nancy’s RV. My husband and I were looking for a place to stay in the area where we could bring 2 of our large dogs. Nancy’s RV got my attention. I read the reviews and reached out to Nancy with a couple concerns I had and she was more than willing to accommodate us. Nancy was very responsive and kind even when I was hesitant to stay (because of my large dogs). We loved the privacy and the fenced in area for our dogs to be able to run around off leash. Greyson the horse was super sweet. Nancy provided detailed information and instructions for everything and for someone who loves details, I was and am impressed! The RV is definitely secluded which I love! If you love an adventure and aren’t scared to be in the woods I’d suggest book this RV! I think one of my favorite things was seeing all the stars at night! I’m from small town Tennessee and lived in Florida 10 years.. I MISS that small town county feel that I got at Nancy’s! Thank you Nancy!

This place was amazing ! VERY VERY CLEAN!! Decor was very nice, everything was freshly stocked. Adel was very friendly and proactive, messaging me before check in. Again, the place was IMMACULATE! So clean ! I appreciate that a lot. We were here for a volleyball tournament and I will stay again next season!

We brought our Frenchies. The cows were so close. The dogs loved the cows. I love cows too. Bob is a nice guy and quick to get you anything you need. Bob has two cats and they are both friendly. My husband snored loud, due to allergies in the area. I felt kinda bad, because I worried that he was too loud, but Bob never said a word. We were able to drive out to Gainesville every day and do things, not a long drive. We thought the yard was fenced in, but it isn't completely, so the dogs had to stay on leashes while outside. That wasn't a big deal though. Over all, we had a great vacation.

The house was wonderful—super clean and stocked with lots of thoughtful amenities. I especially appreciated how everything was neatly labeled, which made it easy to settle in. The ping pong table was a big hit, and the kids never once said they were bored! It was about 20 minutes from Newberry, where my daughter had her tournament, so the location was very convenient. The home is tucked away, surrounded by lush greenery, and incredibly peaceful. The only downside was the number of insects. It’s summer in Florida and it had rained, so that’s to be expected, but there were a few large spiders that made their way inside. Other than that it was perfect for my family.
