Wedding week

We needed a place to stay for an out of state wedding. So glad we found this place! It was so clean and everything in it was nearly new. The two designated parking spaces was a real plus. We loved sitting out on the deck watching the ocean and beach activities.

Property is just as advertised and is very well kept for its age. Check in was easy. Inside was very clean and everything was in newish or good condition. The property manager (Renee) was responsive and very helpful. The location is fabulous, very close to the beach and great views. There were some chairs and toys. Would highly recommend to anyone.

The view is breathtaking

We love this building. As soon as you walk in all you see is ocean. This condo looks just like the photos. Very clean and organized. Nice towels and bedding. The furniture is very nice. Plenty of garbage bags, toilet paper, paper towels, oh and kleenexes! Check in was excellent. Check out was great, not a lot of "jobs". Getting on the beach is a snap. Parking is great especially the gated garage. Grounds are very well kept. The pool rocks! Very nice neighborhood. Communication was spot on. We've rented at several other places in Jax Beach, but this really is the place to stay.

Perfect view of water

Toilet paper needs to be 2 ply instead of flimsy one ply-cheap. 2 bars of soap needed in each bathroom… one for sink and one for shower. The soap in pumper bottle was clogged with old brown gunk. Yuk.

Perfect spot

We chose this property because it was a great view on the ocean, and because it was near the mayo clinic. My husband donated a kidney to his sister, and we stayed here for his first week of recovery.

About the host

Hosted by Renee (Property Manager)

Host profile image
I am Renee, the property manager and local Licensed Real Estate Broker with Jax Beach Condos and Jax Beach Rentals. The owners bought this condo in August 2017 to be near their new grandson so they visit quite often. They decided to share the condo with guests when they are not in Jax Beach. Enjoy this home away from home!

Why they chose this property

Beachdrifter is a small, oceanfront condo community directly on the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. Walk or bike to several restaurants and stores. Bonus: In 2022, the Beachdrifter Condo building completed extensive exterior updates including pool, deck, paint and landscaping.

What makes this property unique

Everything is within walking distance from the Beachdrifter Condo. You really don't NEED a car to get around. Uber from the airport to the condo then bike or walk to everything! Several restaurants within few blocks of condo too. Condo 401 has fully-equipped kitchen; beach towels and beach chairs included too.
