About this property

Comfy Mayo Retreat; Heated Pool, Close to Beach

Palms Bungalow is a 3 bedroom 2 bath pool home, only 1 mile from Mayo Clinic and 3 miles from Jacksonville Beach. This one story home features a newly remodeled kitchen with all new appliances. Palms Bungalow offers 2 lounging areas, with plenty of space for everyone to relax. All 3 bedrooms have smart TV's, with cable in living rooms and primary suite. Step outside to a large covered porch, a sparkling heated pool, and a gas grill with provided propane. Just one house away from Isle of Palms Park, this bungalow is perfect for families.

POOL HEATERS:
Pool heaters are turned off from 5/15 to 9/15 as the pool temperatures are at or well above the 85 degree threshold. To request that the pools be heated between 9/15 - 5/15, contact management 72 hours before your arrival. Pools will not be heated for last minute bookings. The pool heaters heat the pools to 85 degrees. When we experience lows below 45 degrees, the heaters will not be able to reach a comfortable temperature for swimming. Though we rarely see temperatures with lows below 45 degrees, it can happen in the winter months. Thank you for understanding.
Guests use the pool at their own risk.

Dog friendly: We warmly welcome four-legged canine friends. No cats, please. (They don't like the beach!) There is a Pet Fee of $150 per pet. When you reserve, please indicate if you will have animals with you. This is REQUIRED. By booking with your dog or dogs, you are agreeing that you have reviewed and agreed to the following guidelines: Maximum limit allowed: 3 dogs NO aggressive or unsocialized dogs will be permitted to stay on the property. Must be completely house-trained or kept in a kennel when left alone. Our beach communities are extremely welcoming to animals, and we are a very dog-friendly community. Due to our wonderful weather most of the year, you can easily take your furry friend to many restaurants or bars with outdoor seating available, and they will provide them with water and head pats.

We have been staying at VRBOs for 13 years 2-3 times a year. This stay stands out as one of the best places. Why? The extras. Had K cup coffee, salon quality shampoo, paper towels.So many VRBOs are bare bones and I get it. When a place goes above and beyond, it stands out. Communication was top notch also. Way to go to the management.

The house is 2 houses down from a park that we used! The home is very cute and cozy. Very spacious all the way around including the showers. The back sectional was oversized and amazingly comfortable. Everything we needed besides food and seasonings in the kitchen, very well stocked including wine glasses. TV in all rooms and both living rooms. The tiki hut was perfect to relax in with a TV as well when I watched the kids swim. We brought our dog, no grass in the back for her to use the restroom, but we can walk to front or down to the park just clean up after your pet always!! 8 min from the beach approximately maybe a little closer. Vinnys restaurant was delicious. Metro Diner is delicious. Mike and Yvonne were amazing to work with even with minor issues!! Thank you Welcome Home for a cozy stay!! Beautiful night sky from the backyard as well!

Cozy home with pool

Property was as advertised, clean and comfy. Lots of beach chairs and places to sit outside. Was a little too hot to enjoy being outside but on the cooler days would be nice. Dog owners should note there is no grass in the back yard, not an issue for some. Everything was well labeled and a well stocked kitchen with lots of towels which was nice. Apartment complex in the back but was still quiet and private. Nice park within walking distance. Good communication!

2nd stay at Palms Bungalow

This was the 2nd year my mom and I have stayed at the Palms Bungalow. It is so comfy and just perfect for our visits to Jacksonville to see family. We love the pool in the backyard and just the comfortable set up with the family room and front living room. It has worked perfectly for us. Very clean, everything we need is there. We went to the beach for a day and I was thrilled to find a beach wagon, umbrella and chairs ready to go in the garage. Will stay here every time we go back to JAX!

Great stay! Location is not close to the beach but in a quiet neighborhood near the Mayo Clinic. Shops restaurants are close. House is a modest bungalow with an added family room. Plenty of room for up to six people. Pet friendly. Management is responsive. Nice pool in back. Nearby bright spots include Taco Loco, Mayday Icecream, an Irish Restaurant, a pizza brew-pub, and a large consignment store. Easy access to Butler Blvd. that gets you to Jax Beach or into downtown.

Best location for MAYO

I highly recommend this location for MAYO patients to convalesce. Husband had an organ transplant n it was best choice by price, with MAYO discount, location,1 mile from MAYO, stores, and a bedroom for each for germ purposes. We had to rent a recliner which was a Godsend but pool was excellent reprieve for caregivers. I recommend this for long term stay for patient n families.

Great Location, Excellent Communication

We are in Tampa and made a last minute reservation to here as part of us evacuating Hurricane Milton. This was one of the few places on VRBO that allowed last minute booking. The place is in great condition and had a bunch of new updates. It had an air conditioned shed/tiki bar thing that was an excellent place to work away from the house. It is also one house over from a pretty big park.

Great little house and nice neighborhood

We loved this house!! It had everything we needed. The pool was a big plus for my grandsons. They also enjoyed watching tv in the tiki hut. It was close to Mayo Clinic where I had several appointments. And the drive to the beach wasn’t far. I would definitely recommend. And I would also stay here again. And Welcome Home were very nice also.
