The Space
We aim to offer you a remarkable vacation and raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation and environmental preservation.

While at TheSafari, you’ll benefit from luxurious bedding for restful sleep and relaxation.

We provide towels, linens, and a starter set of toiletries for your convenience.

If TheSafari is unavailable for the dates you’re interested in booking, try viewing TheSpiral & TheStation on Vrbo, all part of a community @ AbbeyAcres where guests like you are welcome to stay.

Guest access
We invite you to experience our exclusive Safari-themed getaway.

A keyless self-check-in makes your check-in process a breeze.

During your stay, guests can access the front yard of Abbey Acres, three acres nestled just off in the woods.

Other details to note
This slice of heaven beats staying at a hotel and is more affordable and closer to base than staying at the beach.

Early check-in/late checkout:
If you would like early check-in or late checkout, please notify us at least 24 hours beforehand so we can coordinate with our cleaners to accommodate your request.

Interaction with guests
You’re in great hands. Service-disabled veteran-owned and operated small business, professionally managed and cleaned each stay.

Feel free to ask us any questions before booking or during your stay.

Location
Privacy. Tucked just off in the woods, yet close to major thruways leading to our best beaches and Marine bases, this sanctuary offers you the best of both worlds.

Located between Jacksonville and Wilmington, you’ll be at the heart of wherever you want to go.

This is your dream. You decide where you go from here.

Cute little double

We had a nice stay. The beds were comfortable & there was plenty of room. The air conditioner is located in the livingroom so you have to leave the bedroom doors open to get air. Very decorated in the safari theme. GREAT location! The hosts were easy to communicate with.

Great pet friendly place

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at The Safari with our two dogs. It’s pet friendly and we appreciated all the little extras they left for our dogs. The decor is awesome and our grandkids came over to visit and loved the toys and activities in the kids play room. The place was exceptionally clean and was comfortable with all the necessary amenities. Highly recommend staying at any of the hosts properties at Abby Acres.
