Everything was great. The only thing to note is the train horn — it passes by fairly often during both day and night, and light-medium sleepers may notice it. Aside from that, the property is exactly as described: clean, hot showers, laundry, a full kitchen for cooking, and cold AC.

Everything was very nice. But for some, getting in and out of tubs is challenging. Would be nice if there was one level shower.

We are so glad y'all enjoyed your stay at *Cozy San Marco Retreat*- 3BR, WIFI, W/D! Thank you for the helpful note about tub access — we'll evaluate options like adding a one-level/walk-in shower or extra grab bars to improve accessibility. Hope to host you again.

Family Time In Jax

Everything about our stay was exactly as advertised! The TVs were a bit of a challenge for my father to operate, but we worked it out. Lastly, but most importantly…the beds were the most comfortable we’ve experienced in any place not our home, EVER!! A+

San Marco cutie

Cute little home with many rooms. Short walk to San Marco square area. Interesting neighborhood to walk around, with nice park nearby. Appreciate that it was dog friemdly, only wish the backyard was fenced all the way around.

Jumbo shrimp

3 of us came to visit our friend, who works for Jumbo Shrimp. Proximity to downtown, nearby food and stadium was excellent. Only downside is the untimely trains. But nothing they could do about this.

Great Little House Near Downtown Jax

I was in town for business but needed to take my dog so a house was preferable. The place was perfect. Everything was clean and organized. The main bedroom has an adjacent huge office area. The owners were very helpful. My only minor negative comment is I wish the yard was fully fenced.

Nice and clean

The place was clean and nice. Perfect for what we needed. Located 5 minutes away from downtown. Publix is a 5 minute walk. One thing is the train the goes by late hours of night. But it went by quick and we got used to it. Would totally stay there again.

Great Location and Excellent Hosts

This location is ideal and the house is super cute with all the amenities you need. We stayed here for a business trip and it was perfect for our needs. I made an error when booking and booked the wrong dates - arrived at the airport and realized the error. Made a quick phone call to VRBO who gave me the contact number of the host and they were kind enough to change the dates. No hassle at all. I will definitely stay here again when in Jax.

Good solid base for a visit

Nothing too fancy. AC was a blessing for us northerners. Good location to stores and shops and the venue for graduation. House is older, but well kept. The ice dispenser in the fridge wasn't working, but you could still get the ice from inside.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location

The house looks a lot cleaner and nicer in the photos. It is in a great location but the house is OLD and falling apart. Holes in the bathroom wall, the door to the master area doesn’t close (we had to put something behind it to keep it shut when the kids were napping). The shower curtains are so small you feel like you’re showering inside a rain jacket, can’t keep lift your elbows up to wash your hair without hitting all of the plastic. Multiple outlets/lights that don’t work. One great thing about the house is the walk-ability and location. It is by a train that was VERY loud multiple times a day.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 May 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry the home did not meet your expectations. After reviewing your stay and our communication history, we believe some frustration may have stemmed from the early check-in request process at the beginning of the reservation. As with many vacation rentals, early check-ins are based on availability and scheduling and may require an additional fee depending on timing and operational adjustments needed. We did review the home following your stay and did not find the major concerns referenced in the review, nor were these issues reported to our team during the reservation which unfortunately limited our ability to address or improve anything in real time. The home continues to be accurately represented in the listing photos and has been enjoyed by many guests. We always encourage open communication during stays so we can provide the best possible experience for our guests.

A place to lite to get ready for the night.

Older well kept house. Backs up to a school and nice redone house in upward transitioning neighborhood. We walked to the small business district where we ate. Beds were comfortable as was the sitting area. The kitchen was not too well stocked with cooking item so best be looking to eat out. No grill and outside porch is small. Claw foot tub is a challenge getting in and out and there is no rubber mat to keep you from slipping.
