Pet Friendly Studio with Tons of 5 Star Reviews
Welcome to the recently renovated Pop's Garage! (New pics coming soon)
If you've stayed with us before (or even if you haven't) you'll love the upgrades to our kitchen, the bathroom and the new floors throughout.
Plus, we now feature a new, memory-foam King bed and sleeper sofa to accommodate parties of 4.
The pet-friendly space includes a private and secure fenced-in area, allowing your canine to stretch out and explore.
Discover the perfect balance of comfort and convenience at this one-of-a-kind vacation spot.
* Rustic Charm: Pop's Garage boasts a unique aesthetic, with the converted garage offering exposed wooden beams, comfortable and practical decor, and a warm, inviting ambiance, all set amidst stunning century-old oak trees.
* Modern Comforts: While exuding southern charm, this modern property has all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, including a fully-equipped kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a cozy living area perfect for relaxation.
* Prime Location: Situated in the heart of the First Coast, guests at Pop's Garage can enjoy easy access to downtown, the beaches, St. Augustine, and the St. Johns River. Whether you want to explore the city's vibrant nightlife, indulge in local cuisine, or simply take a leisurely stroll, everything is available from our central location.
* Outdoor Space: A charming outdoor space allows guests to relax and unwind amidst a tranquil setting, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding after a day of exploring. If you are traveling with your pets, this private, fenced-in spot is safe for them to explore and stretch out a bit
Accommodation:
* Pop's Garage offers a fully furnished studio setting, providing comfortable and stylish accommodation for our guests.
Perfect for:
* Couples seeking a romantic getaway.
* Small families looking for a cozy and convenient base to explore the city.
* Business travelers in need of a comfortable and well-connected accommodation option.
Entire space is yours.
We want you to enjoy your stay and privacy. Feel comfortable knowing we are here to help you. Our goal is to earn a 5 star rating! We take our cue from you. We are very sociable but know when to give you the space you want.
The neighborhood is tucked back along the St Johns River but only a mile or so from SR 13/ San Jose Blvd. You can find everything within a very short distance and we are centrally located from the beaches, downtown Jax and must see historical tourist locations. The neighborhood is extremely quiet from "people noise" but you'll cherish the sounds of nature.
Easy access throughout the area with community roads and safe and well maintained sidewalks.
We love dogs and know how special and comforting it is to have them travel with you. Your fenced in area is perfect for them to get some fresh air and take care of their personal things.
Upon checkout, please ensure that all messes are picked up and disposed of.

About the host
Hosted by David Gast
My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary during COVID quarantine and decided then to start our next 25 by doing something new and exciting- being VRBO hosts. We love our home and are looking forward to sharing Pop's Garage with you (and your furry friends). As soon to be "empty nesters", we are looking forward to sharing our beautiful city/area with you.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is tucked back along the St Johns River but only a mile or so from SR 13/ San Jose Blvd. You can find everything within a very short distance and we are centrally located from the beaches, downtown Jax and must see historical tourist locations. Be sure to checkout Jacksonville's Newest Lighted Pickleball Courts at nearby Flynn Park and the soon-to-be-opened Dog Park at Alberts Field (all within a 2 minute drive). The neighborhood is extremely quiet from "people noise" but you'll cherish the sounds of nature.
