Gainesville, FL
Why Gainesville — and what it means for your property
Gainesville's guests come for the University of Florida, Gator football and the hospitals on Archer Road. We run short stays, furnished monthly rentals and annual leases around that calendar.
Gainesville sits in Alachua County, which sets much of the regulatory and tax picture for property here. We track those rules per address rather than per city, because they rarely stop neatly at a city line.
What stands out about Gainesville
- University of Florida campus and Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
- UF Health Shands Hospital and the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center on Archer Road
- Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV)
- Airbnb and VRBO remit Alachua County's 5% tourist tax on their bookings
- The City Code has no vacation rental license chapter, so state licensing applies
How mid-term rental management works in Gainesville
What mid-term rental management is
A mid-term rental is a furnished home let for a month or more at a time — longer than a vacation stay, shorter than a year’s lease. It suits guests who need a real home for a while: snowbirds spending the winter, travelling healthcare staff on contract, families relocating for work, and households placed by their insurer after a fire, flood or storm.
For owners it means fewer turnovers, less wear and steadier occupancy than nightly hosting. We price it, find and screen the guests, put a written agreement in place, and look after the home and the guest for the whole stay — with our own cleaning and maintenance staff.
Why mid-term works so well in Florida
Florida has a built-in monthly market: winter residents who come for one to six months every year, plus a steady flow of contract professionals and relocating families. A furnished home in the right place can fill its winter with one or two long stays instead of dozens of short ones.
Monthly stays are also an option for many owners whose condo association or neighbourhood rules limit nightly rentals but allow longer ones — check your documents, or send them to us and we will.
What mid-term rental management looks like in Gainesville specifically
Two hospitals sit on opposite sides of Archer Road: UF Health Shands Hospital at 1600 SW Archer Road and the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center at 1601 SW Archer Road. With HCA Florida North Florida Hospital on West Newberry Road and the University of Florida close by, Gainesville draws clinicians, visiting faculty and patients' families who may need furnished housing for a month or more.
A stay of 30 days or more falls outside Florida's definition of a transient rental in §509.013, which suits this kind of guest. Rent on a stay of six months or less still carries Florida sales tax and Alachua County's tourist tax, and a lease of more than six months carries neither.
Want the whole property handled, not just mid-term rental management? Gainesville property management covers short-term, long-term and everything between — one team, one point of contact.

Gainesville questions
Owning and renting in Gainesville
Is Airbnb legal in Gainesville?
Yes. The City of Gainesville's Code of Ordinances has no separate vacation rental license or registration chapter as of October 2026, so the statewide rules apply: a DBPR vacation rental license (§509.241) and state and county tax registration. Zoning, HOA covenants and condo documents can still restrict short stays at a given address.
What taxes apply to short-term rentals in Gainesville?
Gainesville rentals of six months or less owe 12.5%: Florida's 6% sales tax (§212.03), Alachua County's 1.5% discretionary sales surtax (DR-15DSS, 2026) and Alachua County's 5% tourist development tax (DR-15TDT). Since January 1, 2025, Airbnb and VRBO collect and remit the tourist tax to the Alachua County Tax Collector; bookings taken elsewhere still need a county return.
Is there demand for furnished monthly rentals in Gainesville?
Gainesville has two major hospitals on the same stretch of Archer Road, UF Health Shands Hospital and the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center, plus HCA Florida North Florida Hospital on West Newberry Road. Clinical staff, visiting faculty and families of patients look for furnished stays of a month or more.
