This was the perfect spot for our family stay with all the amenities needed to make the stay memorable and comfortable. The heated pool was great for the kiddos and the small yard worked perfectly for our small pup. Minimal checkout/ cleaning steps were appreciated. Owners exceeded expectation for communication. Will definitely look to stay here again!

Great stay. Hosts were responsive. The house is simple but comfortable. The neighborhood is clean, quiet, and safe; far enough off the beaten path to miss the hustle and bustle of a popular beach town. The house is located near restaurants. The pool is great and well care for. The neighborhood is nice for walking pets. Smiling interactions with the neighbors.

This property is close in proximity to the Clinic which made it very helpful as I had many appointments throughout the day. The home was comfortable and clean. The host was readily available with any questions and was able to Approve our request to check in a bit earlier.

Perfect House in Awesome Location

Our family is actually local to Jacksonville but our AC went out so we decided to make the best of it! We stayed for 5 nights and it was perfect. House was super clean, beds were comfy and all rooms included a smart tv so you can stream all your favorite shows! The pool was perfect, we ate dinner outside most nights! Great location just minutes from the beach and great dining! Definitely a perfect house for large families!

Great home

Very clean, easy access to highways, beaches, Mayo, grocery stores, and restaurants. Communication with host was great. The neighborhood is quiet and neighbors are very nice. We only stayed a few days for appointments at Mayo so didn’t get to enjoy the pool but was nice size and nice patio furniture. Games in the garage so plenty to do for families and on rainy days. Would recommend to anyone.

We loved our stay at this home. It was on a dead end street in a quaint, well kept, quiet, update neighborhood. It was clean! The whole house was perfect. Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. Modern kitchen that was well stocked. Beautiful private pool. We had Mayo Clinic appointment and this couldn’t have been located better. On the city lines between Jacksonville Beach and Ponta Vedra. It was just blocks from the beach and very close to the 202. Mayo was just off 202 about 8 mins away. I would highly recommend this rental. Very good communication with owners too.
