Learn About Us at StayGainesville 🧡 Our story is a tale of relentless adaptability in response to the ever-changing market landscape. Following the 2008 housing market collapse, @susannahpeddie transformed adversity into opportunity: she transformed properties that were struggling to secure long-term renters into fully furnished, short-term rental units. The strategic location of these condos, situated directly across the street from Shands UF Health Hospital, played a crucial role in this pivot. Susannah didn’t stop there; she broadened her horizons, extending her property offerings to encompass the downtown area and the vicinity of the University of Florida campus. She also diversified the selection, ensuring a wide range of sizes and price points to accommodate everyone’s needs. In partnership with her StayGainesville colleagues, Susannah added two historic inns in the downtown area to her portfolio, providing unique event spaces, classes, and options for single-night stays. Throughout this journey, Susannah has cultivated an outstanding team, placing a paramount emphasis on customer service excellence. We are excited about the opportunity to welcome you to Gainesville and ensure you have a memorable experience.Button -

RIP Jimmy Buffett. ❤️ Jimmy blessed our great town several times in the 80s performing at the O’Connell Center. Parrotheads likely already know that 2017 marked 40 years since the release of “Margaritaville,” the mega-hit that catapulted their beloved Jimmy Buffett to national fame and cemented his image as an easy-going, fun-loving beach bum. What they may not know is that the University of Florida is home to a portion of the singer-songwriter’s papers, giving UF a piece of modern Floridiana courtesy of one of the Sunshine State’s most famous adopted sons. Placed on deposit at UF’s Special and Area Studies Collections in Library East in 1993, the materials fill boxes that cover 5 linear feet of shelf space. They include manuscripts of two books, correspondence, videotapes and computer discs. The bulk of the papers, dated 1975 to 1993, are drafts and galleys of “Tales from Margaritaville,” a collection of short stories published in 1989, and the 1992 novel “Where is Joe Merchant?”Button -
