KANAPAHA GARDENS www.kanapaha.org (10 minute drive)

Welcome to Gainesville and thank you for choosing my
condos for your visit. My goal is that you will have a 5star experience and will enjoy your home away from
home. In addition to renting condos, I am also a nature
photographer and happen to love all of the nature sites in
Gainesville. Since the summer of 2011, I have had a
regular section in HOME Magazine: Living in the Heart of
Florida. These can help serve as a guide for your nature
visits. Please visit HOME Magazine’s website for great
articles about Gainesville:
