This very rare and adorable 1939 beach cottage just steps from the beach has been beautifully restored to its former glory days. It is located in the heart of Jacksonville Beach and only steps away from the ocean. It is easy walking distance to many shops, festivals, bars, clubs, and restaurants. Everything is right there. Our cottage is suitable for just one couple, several couples, or an entire family getaway. We have a secluded back courtyard where you can simply relax or even have your breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Our kitchen is stocked with cookware, microwave, dishwasher, dishes, utensils, glasses, and of course a coffee pot to start your vacation. The side-by-side fridge has ice and water in the door. You may just find yourself eating out in the terrific local restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance. If not, you can throw chicken/steak/hamburger, etc. on the BBQ grill and enjoy your family picnic in the backyard. Sheets, linens, towels and beach towels are provided. We have beach chairs and umbrellas, boogie boards and a beach cart to take all the toys to the beach. The cottage is also furnished with HD TV, games and books. We also provide WIFI internet service just in case you want to stay in touch with family/friends during your stay. The cottage is equipped with inside washer and dryer to make longer trips away from home easier. We furnished this adorable cottage with nice furnishings, comfortable beds and decorated the place like a home. The cottage still has original wood floors almost throughout the entire house. You will feel it's your home away from home the moment you walk in. Spectacular sunrises greet you on your morning visit to the beach for coffee or stroll and occasionally the dolphins will meet you there. It is known for the flat open beach which makes it great for hanging out at the beach; walking or running, beachcombing and riding beach cruiser bicycles. Playing in the sand and surf is a great way to spend your days, but the fun doesn't stop there!
Since the cottage is at the heart of Jax Beach, you can walk to all the events and festivals within a few minutes without worrying about finding or paying any parking. Many shops and restaurants, featuring local artists and top chefs are within a short walk. Jax Beach Amphitheater hosts many spring and summer festivals featuring well known jazz and blues artists. Jacksonville Beach is a fun filled beach community close to many attractions in sunny/warm Florida. Jacksonville Beach Pier, Adventure Landing, Kathryn Hannah State Park and Mayport Naval Station are nearby. Mayport, an original fish camp, is famous for it’s Mayport shrimp caught fresh daily. Mayo Clinic/Hospital is only 10-15 minutes away. St Augustine, ‘The Nation’s Oldest City', is less than 15 miles away and offers many fun and interesting tourist features, an alligator farm, the Fountain of Youth and Premium Outlet malls.
Don't forget to bring your golf clubs. Home of THE PLAYERS Championship, birthplace of the TPC Network, and backdrop to the PGA TOUR headquarters, the TPC Sawgrass golf course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., 5 miles away, is perhaps the world’s most famous golf course. THE PLAYERS Stadium Course sports one of the most recognizable and challenging holes on the PGA TOUR. The notorious par-3, 17th hole, features an island green that makes or breaks many a PGA TOUR pro’s round. Inquire with any questions or better yet, book it now and we are sure you will fall in love with it. We did!

It was a pleasure to have you stay at Beachy Cottage. The cottage was left in perfect condition and you are the best communicator I have ever had. .You are welcome back any time
We had a wonderful time! The beach house is roomy, comfortably furnished, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything you need for your stay. It’s an easy short walk to the beach and restaurants. We definitely would love to return and enjoy the beach house again.

Fantastic property that’s so close to the beach. Host is terrific and makes sure you are well taken care of. We stayed over the Thanksgiving week and had a wonderful time. One of the best places to stay in Jax Beach!

Scott and his family were one of our best guest experiences. They followed the house rules to a "T". They left the cottage spotless. Love to have them back again.
Cute little beach house - literally in prime location for walking the block to the beach. The home is older, but met our needs for a Spring Break vacation. Easy contactless check in and out. Beds were super comfortable. Barbara was great to work with, communicated with us when we booked and again a couple days before. Thanks for a great stay at Jax Beach!

Thank you for the very complimentary review. So glad you enjoyed your stay. You are welcome back any time.
We were at this awesome property to attend my nephew's wedding and a family reunion, and tied our vacation to those events. We could not have been more impressed with the accommodations, as we found the cottage to be fully stocked with everything we needed. The host was very responsive, and we could not think of anything we needed that was not provided. It was the perfect place to relax, or go to the beach, or enjoy one fo the many great restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay here! Very clean, comfortable and great location. We loved this authentic beach cottage experience! Communications great and easy check in/check out. Thanks, Barbara!!

You were great guests. I am glad you appreciated the unique experience in an original Florida beach home. Although it is updated I have tried to keep the cottage as original as possible. There are very few of these left as developers buy them up and tear them down to build condos. You are welcome back anytime.
Had a wonderful time here with family! Loved the decor and furniture was very comfortable. Everything you would need is provided. Loved the screened in porch and it was a short walk to the beach access.

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at Beachy Cottage. Thank you for the very positive review. You were great guests and left the cottage spotless. Communication was excellent. I really enjoyed meeting you. Please know you are welcome back anytime!
This is by far our most favorite place to stay in JAX's Beach. Its charm keeps us coming back. Spend afternoons either sitting on the front porch or walk to the beach!
Property is walkable to the beach and walkable to quite a few restaurants. One that turned out very good. Ouxaca.Neighborhood was quiet and parking was very easy. Layout of the house is also good for families, one floor.
