Our little weekend get away was perfect mostly because of the place we stayed. Our host Cindy was awesome, just a text or phone call away. The house was right on the beach, it was clean, well kept and private. We sat on the back porch while we drank our coffee and watched the sunrise. So glad I found this rental on VRBO.

This nice clean house on the beach exceeds our expectations! The huge deck facing the beach will leave you relaxed watching the waves roll into the almost secluded beach. We sat in the perfect chairs watching dolphins play directly in front of us. God really shows out with the perfect sunrise of a morning too. I would highly recommend this rare find.

Cindy was a delight to work with! Her home is perfect and she has thought of every single thing you could ever need. We were mere steps from being at the ocean. We saw dolphins daily!! Evenings on the porch watching the ocean were fantastic. Many gorgeous sunrises (and sunsets from the front). The most perfect rainbow ever! This home is a perfect stay and we will be back. Thank you so much for the most wonderful vacation.

We enjoyed our stay at this beach house. Extremely clean and didn’t run across anything that we needed that wasn’t supplied. Unit was convenient to everything—-Publix right around the corner and other shopping available also.Cindy was easy to communicate with but we didn’t have the need to call her. Everything went smoothly.Weather was great but extremely hot but we plan on returning in the fall so we can fish.We had all our gear to fish with but water temperature was too hot. We will return. Thanks to Cindy and Chip for sharing their lovely beach house.

Beautiful oceanfront duplex for two! The bright living room and oceanfront deck were our favorite; open concept with dining table, counterspace, all essentials in kitchen. Communication was easy and informative from beginning to end. Owners bought ice and placed in freezer for our arrival because the maker was not workingthoughtful essential! They even mailed back dresses I had left in the closet. Highly recommend for a few night get away!

About the host

Hosted by Chip and Cindy

Host profile image
We love staying here when not busy working. This second home is just a short distance from where we live in Jacksonville but feels like a world away when we are sitting on the back deck!

Why they chose this property

No long walks to get to the beach. You are ON IT! Your deck is right there. No views are blocked! Enjoy your stay at our recently remodeled home away from home. We look forward to making your getaway as enjoyable as possible.

What makes this property unique

Close to town and everything you need yet still private and serene listening to the waves and seagulls. Lots of personal touches in this home make it more special for your time away.
