About this property

Rear Top | Ocean views & steps from the sand

Welcome to The Rear Admiral — an ocean view second floor retreat just steps from Jacksonville Beach sand. This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit sleeps 5 and offers the perfect beachside basecamp for families.

The space features a queen bedroom and a second bedroom with unique single-over-queen bunk beds (guests use bunk beds at their own risk per insurance requirements). Both rooms include TVs for evening relaxation after beach days. The full bathroom serves the entire unit, while your fully equipped kitchen handles family meals with everything from morning coffee to beachside picnic prep.

Your private deck provides ocean views for sunrise coffee, while the shared back porch offers additional space to gather with your group. High-speed wifi keeps everyone connected, and in-unit laundry means you can pack light for longer stays. Free street parking plus a public lot beside the building solves logistics for multi-car families.

You're literally one block from the beach with a 9-minute walk to Mellow Mushroom for family pizza nights and craft beer for adults. Salt Life Food Shack's surf culture seafood is a 10-minute stroll, while Refinery Jax Beach offers oceanview fine dining just 11 minutes on foot. The famous Jacksonville Beach Pier and O-Ku's rooftop sushi are a quick 2-minute drive for fishing excursions or date nights.

This property sits on the second floor of a 4-unit building (all vacation rentals) with keyless entry and no elevator access. We provide beach towels, linens, kitchen essentials, and full bathroom supplies. Pet families welcome with $30 per pet per day. Please note ongoing city renovation projects may cause construction noise and minor road access limitations during winter months.

A refundable security deposit or optional damage waiver may be required. Guests will be given the option to choose between a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver prior to check-in.
