Understanding the Needs of Student-Athletes:

StayGainesville recognizes the unique challenges faced by UF student-athletes and their families. During busy athletic seasons, families may need comfortable and convenient housing for short-term stays. StayGainesville offers a wide range of accommodation types from large family homes to quaint bedrooms in our StayGainesville Inn properties, The Laurel Oak Inn and the Camellia Rose Inn.

StayGainesville offers a wide range of fully-furnished rental properties, strategically located near UF's athletic facilities. Their rentals provide a comfortable and convenient home away from home, equipped with amenities to ensure a relaxing stay.

The StayGainesville REP Program:

The StayGainesville REP Program provides a win-win situation for UF student-athletes and their families. Here's how it works:

  • UF student-athletes: Athletes can easily refer their families and fans to StayGainesville for temporary housing needs while earning monetary rewards based on number of nights stayed and promotion of StayGainesville on their social media accounts.
  • Families and Fans: Receive a significant discount on their stay at any StayGainesville rental property. This discount ensures comfortable and convenient housing at an affordable price.

Become a StayGainesville Ambassador:

For Athletes looking to earn higher rewards and show their support for local Gainesville businesses, StayGainesville has a Student Ambassador program that entails participating in local events supporting the thriving Gainesville community. Ambassadors will also have access to the catalog of StayGainesville Experience partnerships offering discounts on local goods and services usually reserved for Guests at a StayGainesville property.

A Commitment to Supporting UF's Finest:

"We are thrilled to launch the StayGainesville REP Program," says CEO, Susannah Peddie. "UF student-athletes dedicate themselves to excellence, and we want to ensure their families have a comfortable and supportive environment during visits. This program allows us to give back to the UF community and athletes while providing exceptional housing solutions."

"As a student athlete, having a reliable hospitality partner like StayGainesville makes all the difference,” says UF Tennis star Qavia Lopez. “Their wide range of accommodation option and dedicated support to the community set them apart! I cant wait to have my family, friends and fans check out their amazing properties!"

“I’m so happy to be able to promote a program that will help students at UF give their families the Gainesville experience,” says Gator Women’s Soccer star Paloma Pena, “The StayGainesville REP program is a huge win for student athletes, and I can’t wait for my family to come support me and have the comfort of staying at the swamp!”

“The parents and families of our athletes are always looking for the best places to stay while in Gainesville supporting the Gators. The program StayGainesville has rolled out unlocks not just some of the best places to stay, but also an affordable option while also giving our athletes the ability to leverage and monetize their promotion of the company. It’s exciting to see that NIL opportunities with local businesses is gaining momentum here in Gainesville, and I can’t wait to see the success of this program.” – Ben Chase, Director of NIL Strategy for the Florida Gators.
