Home and neighborhood was amazing! The kids absolutely loved the heated pool as it was a little chilly while we were there. There is an amazing park not far from this location. Plenty of room in the home and there were games and bikes the children were able to use and keep them entertained during down time. Location was perfect. 3 min from target, publix and 15 from all activities. Would def stay again!!!
This was the perfect spot for our family stay with all the amenities needed to make the stay memorable and comfortable. The heated pool was great for the kiddos and the small yard worked perfectly for our small pup. Minimal checkout/ cleaning steps were appreciated. Owners exceeded expectation for communication. Will definitely look to stay here again!
The home was clean and a good place to spin off for other activities. Overall was good to excellent. Suggested for the aged and those with disabilities to install grab bars in the showers.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Property was dated, game room is not a game room, its a garage. Master bath extremely dated. Neighborhood is a good location, however neighbors leave something to be desired.

We loved our stay here with our dogs!It was absolutely perfect for us.Super close to the beach, lovely neighborhood, home was perfect Everything we needed Would absolutely stay here next time we are in Jacksonville
My family stayed for a few days in April and enjoyed the heated pool. The pool was clean and warm and big enough for my girls to have a blast swimming for the week.
Just an all around great experience. Great communication and the house was in a beautiful neighborhood. Kids loved the pool and we were only minutes from the beach. 10 stars!
The house and pool area were very well maintained, the pool was heated as promised
The beds were very comfy and the kitchen had all appliances, pots, pans etc needed!
Would definitely come back!
Great stay. Hosts were responsive. The house is simple but comfortable. The neighborhood is clean, quiet, and safe; far enough off the beaten path to miss the hustle and bustle of a popular beach town. The house is located near restaurants. The pool is great and well care for. The neighborhood is nice for walking pets. Smiling interactions with the neighbors.
We loved our stay! The house was the perfect size for us and close to shops, restaurants, etc. The pool was awesome since it was heated which we really appreciated! Beds and pillows were so comfortable that we checked the brand so we can buy the same kind in the future. Overall excellent rental
This property is close in proximity to the Clinic which made it very helpful as I had many appointments throughout the day.
The home was comfortable and clean. The host was readily available with any questions and was able to Approve our request to check in a bit earlier.
Was there for a doctors appt and made it a long weekend with family. The home was exactly as it is on the website. Very dog friendly, with a fenced backyard. Check-in process was super easy. The home is super clean. Will definitely stay here again.
Our family is actually local to Jacksonville but our AC went out so we decided to make the best of it! We stayed for 5 nights and it was perfect. House was super clean, beds were comfy and all rooms included a smart tv so you can stream all your favorite shows! The pool was perfect, we ate dinner outside most nights! Great location just minutes from the beach and great dining! Definitely a perfect house for large families!
What a wonderful experience! Great communication with the owners. Had a few hiccups but all were taken care of pomptly. Pool was amazing! Great location, it is easy to get to A1a. Lots of great local dining. When we book our next trip to Jax Beach, we will definitely book here again!
Very nice set-up. House is much bigger than expected, especially when you pull up into the driveway, Lol. Spacious rooms and a beautiful backyard. Our familys only complaint was they wiahed we stayed longer. Thank you for all your help Coco!
Property well taken care of and as pictured. Very clean. Host very responsive. Neighborhood was quiet and convenient location. Would definitely stay again if needed (friends live close by so stayed here to be in walking distance with infant etc). Beach definitely walkable/rideable if desired!
Very clean, easy access to highways, beaches, Mayo, grocery stores, and restaurants. Communication with host was great. The neighborhood is quiet and neighbors are very nice. We only stayed a few days for appointments at Mayo so didn’t get to enjoy the pool but was nice size and nice patio furniture. Games in the garage so plenty to do for families and on rainy days. Would recommend to anyone.
