About this property
Atlantic Shores Getaway steps to the beach pet friendly, close to Mayo
This property has just had a complete interior and exterior renovation adding modern conveniences while keeping the classic charm. The landscaping was just completed in October 2020 and a bocce ball court, putting green. You'll also find a flagstone patio with a gas fire pit and BBQ surrounded by Adirondack chairs where you can roast hot dogs and marshmallows.
The space
A quirky 1942 classic home with all the modern conveniences is just steps from the beach in a quiet neighborhood. It's close to world class golfing, surfing, parasailing, kayaking, fishing, the convention center, and so much more. My family has owned this property since 1964, and I've had a wonderful time restoring and upgrading it since 2019. This house holds many family memories and is located on a beach that I dream about often! I'm so happy to share this place with others and still keep it in the family.
Southern charm and contemporary colors have really brought this house back to life.
It has beachy kitchen with butcher block countertops, glass tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen and downstairs bedroom have tongue and groove solid wood walls and ceilings that my grandfather installed. Off the downstairs bedroom there is a washer and dryer, detergent is provided free of charge, and an iron and ironing board is also available.
The kitchen is fully stocked with Keurig, French press, coffee grinder, toaster, microwave, toaster oven, Ninja blender, rice cooker, waffle maker, coffee and selection of teas, full set of cookware and bakeware, and so much more. It also includes the basic cooking necessities, e.g., oil, pepper, spices, condiments. It also includes outdoor plates and cups to take to the rooftop deck to enjoy a great meal alfresco.
The property has UHD 4K smart TV in the living room, sunroom, and two of the bedrooms, with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, and Disney+ streaming services. It also has a google home, and google mesh WIFI system for a reliable signal throughout the home.
Downstairs features a living room with a large sofa, kitchen with dining table with 4 chairs and a bench, and bedroom with a queen bed, 40" TV with a laundry room, and a bathroom with tub and shower combo.
Head upstairs and you'll find recently refinished original heart pine floors, bead board walls, and original wood ceilings, the charm of this house shines with all the windows upstairs! The second floor features two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other a full bed, and a bathroom with shower.
In addition, the upstairs has a second living area we call the sunroom with its 12 windows, wonderful ocean view, a sleeper sofa that can hold 2 more people comfortably, another 43" TV, a papasan chair for relaxing or reading a book, a small desk and printer if you need to get any work done and a game table with a variety of board games. Finally, head out into the hallway and go up to the large 20' x 16' roof top deck that overlooks the ocean where you'll find a great area for sun bathing, relaxing, dining, and relax and soak up the Florida sun in a hammock fit for 2.
The landscaping was just completed in October 2020 and a bocce ball court, putting green. You'll also find a flagstone patio with a gas fire pit and BBQ surrounded by Adirondack chairs where you can roast hot dogs and marshmallows.
We have chairs, toys, and towels specifically for the beach as well as fishing poles. An outside shower is available at the house so you can rinse off and feel more comfortable. There are also outside stairs to take straight up to the deck to catch the last rays.
Spectacular sunrises greet you on your morning visit to the beach for coffee or stroll and occasionally the dolphins will meet you there. It is known for the flat open beach which makes it great for hanging out at the beach; walking or running, beachcombing and riding beach cruiser bicycles. Playing in the sand and surf is a great way to spend your days, but the fun doesn't stop there!
Since the cottage is at the heart of Jax Beach, you can walk to all the events and festivals within a few minutes without worrying about finding or paying any parking. Many shops and restaurants, featuring local artists and top chefs are within a short walk. Jax Beach Amphitheater hosts many spring and summer festivals featuring well known jazz and blues artists.
Jacksonville Beach is a fun filled beach community close to many attractions in sunny/warm Florida. Jacksonville Beach Pier, Adventure Landing, Kathryn Hannah State Park and Mayport Naval Station are nearby. Mayport, an original fish camp, is famous for it’s Mayport shrimp caught fresh daily.
Mayo Clinic/Hospital is only 10-15 minutes away. St Augustine, ‘The Nation’s Oldest City', is less than 15 miles away and offers many fun and interesting tourist features, an alligator farm, the Fountain of Youth and Premium Outlet malls.
Don't forget to bring your golf clubs. Home of THE PLAYERS Championship, birthplace of the TPC Network, and backdrop to the PGA TOUR headquarters, the TPC Sawgrass golf course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., 5 miles away, is perhaps the world’s most famous golf course. THE PLAYERS Stadium Course sports one of the most recognizable and challenging holes on the PGA TOUR. The notorious par-3, 17th hole, features an island green that makes or breaks many a PGA TOUR pro’s round.
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.
