About this property

Jax Vacations 1/2 Mile to Beach, 2 bedroom, pet friendly, close to Mayo Clinic

This light and airy space with all the modern conveniences is just a short walk to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. It's close to world class golfing, surfing, parasailing, kayaking, fishing, convention center, and so much more. Located near a beach that I dream about often! I'm so happy to share this place with others.

It has a cozy kitchen with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is fully stocked with a coffee maker, French press, coffee grinder, toaster, microwave, blender, coffee, full set of cookware and bakeware, and so much more. The basic cooking necessities, e.g., oil, pepper, spices, condiments are also included.

Need baby gear during your stay? Rent cribs, car seats, strollers, toys and more from BabyQuip! As seen on Shark Tank, BabyQuip offers clean, sanitized, and safe baby gear in over 500 cities! Visit https://www.babyquip.com/a/c6g2p3 to make a reservation.

The property has UHD 4K smart TVs in the living room, each bedroom with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, and Disney+ streaming services. It also has a WIFI system throughout the home.

Downstairs features a living room with a sleeper sofa and a 65" television. The kitchen has a pass through beside the dining area, and a powder room. There is a laundry room with washer and dryer (detergent is provided free of charge). An iron and ironing board are also available.

Head upstairs and you'll find two bedrooms. The front bedroom features a queen bed with attached small balcony. The back bedroom also has a queen bed. Just outside these bedrooms is a common bathroom with a tub shower combo.

Head to the private backyard where you'll find a great area for relaxing and dining in the open air patio. And what's a backyard without a gas BBQ. You'll also find a gas fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs where you can roast hot dogs and marshmallows.

Enjoy a day at the beach with the provided bikes, chairs, toys, umbrella, beach towels and wagon.

We have an outdoor shower on the back of the house so upon your return from the beach you'll be able to rinse off the sand and feel more comfortable before entering the house for a relaxing evening.

There are many great restaurants and bars close by, the area has a free Beach Buggy transport service to take you to the local it downtown bars and restaurants. You can download the app and order a free ride.

Disclosure: There is one recording camera facing the driveway.

Regarding weather, unless the National Weather Service has issued a mandatory evacuation for our area refunds will follow our cancellation policy. We highly recommend that you purchase cancel for any reason trip insurance to best protect your nonrefundable trip expenses.

Two night weekend at the beach.
Brought both of our two year old Doberman dags to the beach for the weekend. Jax beach was a short 10 to 15 minute walk with the dogs in the evening. Then mext day we drove up to Amelia island and beached all day. The house was close enoigh to the beach but depending on daily traffic, crossing the main A1a street may be struggle with cross walks few and far between. The neighborhood was clean and quiet and the hoise was perfect. Would have been big enough if wed have brought 4 more people. The oitdoor area and backyard was perfect to hang out and let the dogs run and explore the plants.

Jax Beach Visit
Cleanliness and communication with the Host were very good. We appreciated having a fenced backyard, since we traveled with a dog. Unit is close to the beach and other Jax Beach fun. Due to the weather we could not use the fire pit or outside shower as we would have liked to. Both very cool amenities. Nice place.

Great stay! Wonderful VRBO that is fully equipped with anything you may need, even a sewing kit! Easy drive, bike ride to the beach near food. Clean and beautifully decorated. Super cute backyard, the laundry room is even super cute!! Only thing missing was a towel rack or something to hang beach towels and bathing suits on to dry overnight outside. Other than that it was perfect and probably our best stay at a VRBO.

Cozy duplex 10min to beach
The duplex was very clean and the beds were comfortable! The outside shower was amazing and the kids enjoyed having s’mores by the fire pit! The AC worked well (but was very loud in the first bedroom!). Overall a great stay!

Great place and close to the beach.
My sister, Golden Retriever and I enjoyed a wonderful time at this property during the off season. We were just a few blocks from the beach and loved the fact that the property had bikes. A super plus for anyone staying during peak season since there is not a lot of beach access parking. There is also a nice wagon if you need to walk and bring beach stuff with you. We rode the bikes and watched two sun rises and rode to Jimmy John's for lunch. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was equipped enough that we made breakfast and dinner quite a few times. Everything is close by that you need for shopping. The backyard was great to relax at in the evenings. I VRBO alot and we will definitely enjoy this place again.

Small and Cute Townhouse
This small, cute, townhouse was great for a small family or for a couple. The property owners/manager needs to do a better job of yard maintenance and cleaning-up junk in the yard. Also, there is a colony of feral cats that live next door, so if you have a dog, there could be issues.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Castellanos

Host profile image
We're Angela and Mike, from Seal Beach. My family visited Jax beach one time and knew we would want our second home to be there. Hopefully one day we can move permanently to Jax beach after our children get into college. While we live in California, we prefer the beaches at Jax Beach and fell in love with the people and the area. We are like-minded Floridians and feel we belong. We hope you love our house as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

When we heard this house on the market, we knew this was the right house for us. It suited my taste and personality and love how close it to the beach and the back yard sealed the deal. We really enjoyed spending time remodeling this property with my family getting this gem ready for your visit.

What makes this property unique

The proximity to the beach and downtown restaurants makes this property in a quiet neighborhood a perfect getaway.
