About this property

Charming Riverside/Avondale Award Winning Historical Home! Family/pet friendly!

This Victorian home built in 1903, is fully renovated with all the modern comforts, but keeping its history and southern charm. It has all the appeal - and challenges - of a 122 year old house. If you like stark, bland, new construction, this is not the house for you!

Located in the historical area of Avondale, with excellent restaurants, beautiful parks and shops all in walking distance. Enjoy a fun day of shopping in original and eclectic boutiques or take a bike ride and see all the historical sites. Museums, downtown and the sports complexes are within a 10 minute drive. It's just 10 minutes to treatment centers like The Proton Center, Mayo Clinic and the new Anderson's Cancer Center. Jax beach is just 30 minutes away. Disney World is a little over 2 hours away.

This is a cozy comfortable home, but large enough for you to have multiple couples or a large family. The third floor is a bonus room with extra space for gathering, sleeping or working.

We spent 4 days there with family for a wedding and everything was wonderful. We loved the neighborhood, the house and furnishings are amazing. The only drawback for older couples are that all the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathrooms are a little spread out. Grab bars would be wonderful. But I’m 85 and did fine with it. I’d rebook in a heartbeat!

Thanks, Pat! We are glad you enjoyed your stay. I did have removable grab bars, but didn't have them up for you. I guess I need to figure out how to ask people if they need them! If you ever do rebook, let me know and I'll have them ready for you.

This home is a great place to stay when you are in Jacksonville. It’s well taken care of and you can tell there is a lot of pride in the ownership. The neighborhood is very quiet and great for taking long walks. It is ideally situated near the Avondale shopping district, which is only a 10 minute walk away. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location, spacious house!

Stayed for two weeks. This property is well-located, with a 15 minute walk to the shops and restaurants in Avondale. The house is spacious and well appointed. We especially appreciated the large master bathroom and kitchen. The property owner was responsive to our questions and requests. Lots of bedrooms for a larger group.

Beautiful Home in a Great Location!

We absolutely loved our stay. The historical home was so clean and very beautifully decorated. Our King size bed was so comfy. We golfed during the day and then returned for the evening to have dinner close by at local restaurants. We especially loved “Biscotti’s.” We also enjoyed a morning walk in “Boone’s Park” located in the area as well. All in all a great stay. Will definitely be back.

Owner was helpful but property didn’t meet expectations

While the owner was very lovely and responsive, unfortunately the property didn’t meet our expectations and we checked out after one night. We knew it was a heritage / older home so expected more antique type furniture but listing made it seem more updated then it was. We also found it smelled very musty and the carpets were in bad condition. So unfortunately we didn’t stay.
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Oct 2023
Kelly, I am sorry your husband had a bad experience. I have never had anyone complain about a "musty smell." I had several people go in the next day and no one was able to identify a smell. I did see there was a spill from the last guest that I was unable to clean as it was a quick turn around. I have replaced the hall floor with wood instead of carpet as I could not get the stain up. I am sorry that you were disappointed and hope the fact that I gave you a full refund alleviated your dissatisfaction.

Host profile image
I love remodeling old historic homes, and this is my favorite one! What a beauty!

Why they chose this property

Avondale is one of the few walking neighborhoods in Jacksonville. You can enjoy shops, museums and restaurants without a car. With a car you can be downtown, at a professional sports game or at the primary Performing Arts Center all within 5 minutes!

What makes this property unique

This beautiful historic home has all the modern conveniences without giving up the charm of 120+ year old home. Children will love sleeping in the 3rd floor bonus room, with a sleeping area and a sitting room.
