The whole stay was very good. Very clean house and rooms, the back door patio was my favorite part. When we arrived we had a slight concern about the A/C and they were quick to respond and even came to the property to inspect. He was very polite and respectful to our privacy for my other guests and I. They were doing regular check up ensure we were comfortable. It is the perfect location, very close to the beach where you can walk to it, but also not to close where you have to worry about privacy. If we visit Jacksonville again we will definitely come here again!

Stop scrolling, this is THE place!The beach retreat was absolutely spotless and beautifully appointed with comfortable furnishings and great beds. It’s an easy walk to the beach, (plenty of towels and beach accessories provided), and just steps away from fantastic local restaurants and bars.The owner was friendly, responsive, and provided professional-level hospitality from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay; highly recommend.

Wonderful Place

Everything was perfect. The house has a lot of space, convenient furniture, the kitchen is very well equipped, new appliances- all you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The accommodation was spotless. Good amount of bath towels, extra blankets. Outdoor shower is a big plus. Gas fire pit was a good addition. The host provided beach towels, beach chairs, a beach cart. ItWe really enjoyed our stay there, and will definitely consider to rent this place next time we go to Jacksonville.

Please Read ****"I booked this property through VRBO, and immediately after entering my credit card information and agreed to the terms and conditions. The screen on my phone went back to the original booking platform and I was sent a message saying that this property was no longer available for those dates, and to please select another date or a different property.So the next day I decided to book a different property on a different site, I didn't have any issues I signed the agreement, entered my card information and "immediately was sent a confirmation number". Later that day I was reviewing my credit card information and I realized that VRBO had charged me for the property that through it's own site had clearly stated that it wasn't available.So I was in Jacksonville with more than one property and I ended up loosing a substantial amount of money over something that shouldn't have happened.VRBO this error on y'all behalf is ridiculous and a big failure. It needs to be looked into and fixed so that it doesn't create any more issues for families that are just trying to travel and relax.Now the reason for the 5 stars, The property was amazing, very comfortable. My spouse was able to spend some time with her relatives, myself and my kids were able to enjoy the beach and the scenery. Thanks to the Host. I was very disappointed in VRBO, yes I lost a lot of money but once I entered your property I felt like I was at home, plus it was much better than the other property

The property was very clean and very comfortable for our family of 5. The home had all the necessary essentials for our stay. We lacked nothing. We greatly appreciated the beach chairs, towels, umbrella and wagon. We were just a few blocks from the beach which is actually walkable. The outdoor patio was very serene. The host was remarkable. She communicated extremely well. There are numerous restaurants and stores nearby. We greatly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again. I highly recommend this property.
