Haven for Home Repairs

Pop's Garage is so cute and cozy! We stayed there for 2 nights while work was done on our home in the same area of town. It looked just like what we booked on line and we really enjoyed it. It was very clean and had everything you need. There is a nice fenced in area for pets which our dogs enjoyed very much. The host was very nice and checked on us to make sure we had what we needed. We will be back should we have to vacate our house again in the future.

Another amazing stay at Pop garage

The place is super clean that is what you notice this first thing when you walk in. The amenities… where to begin they have thought of things you need that you probably forgot to bring with you. Best part ever dog friendly! A great enclosed fenced yard space where dogs can sniff and do their business. The “garage” is spacious and neatly adorned you forget you are actually in a garage space. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to jax

About the host

Hosted by David Gast

My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary during COVID quarantine and decided then to start our next 25 by doing something new and exciting- being VRBO hosts. We love our home and are looking forward to sharing Pop's Garage with you (and your furry friends). As soon to be "empty nesters", we are looking forward to sharing our beautiful city/area with you.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is tucked back along the St Johns River but only a mile or so from SR 13/ San Jose Blvd. You can find everything within a very short distance and we are centrally located from the beaches, downtown Jax and must see historical tourist locations. Be sure to checkout Jacksonville's Newest Lighted Pickleball Courts at nearby Flynn Park and the soon-to-be-opened Dog Park at Alberts Field (all within a 2 minute drive). The neighborhood is extremely quiet from "people noise" but you'll cherish the sounds of nature.
