About this property

Atlantic Shores Getaway steps to beach petfriendly

This classic beach cottage has 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/corn hole court, putting green, and patio area with fire pit and BBQ have been added.

A quirky 1942 classic beach cottage 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 counter-tops, glass tile back splash, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen and downstairs bedroom have tongue and grove 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 roof top 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.

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 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, umbrella, toys, and towels specifically for the beach. 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.


DBPR # DWE2613296

You`ll have access to the whole house, roof top deck with a peekaboo ocean view, and fire pit area. There`s an outside shower to rinse off after a glorious day at the beach.

The max occupancy per city regulations is 8 people over the age of 24 months--children under 24 months are not counted in that maximum and are welcome. House has baby gates for the stairs and cabinet locks for the cabinets and outlet plugs are kept in the kitchen if needed. There are several a Baby Equipment Rental Places nearby that will deliver, e.g., cribs, high chairs, etc., to the house during your stay.

The house is located in the South Jax Beach area and the beach is just steps away. The neighborhood is relaxed and quiet. People love to take walks, jog, ride bikes, scooters, and golf carts. Since our neighborhood is mostly residential we do not host large parties and events at this location.

But it is the beach, and you can enjoy cook outs with friends and dinners outdoors until late at night! We are glad if our guests are having a good time with family and friends and we are not worried about happy noise.

The house has 4 parking spots available. There is additional parking on 1st street. You can rent bicycles and also a street legal golf cart to get around that can be delivered to the house. Our neighborhood is a residential beach community. Not much traffic, walkable and great for bike riding.

If you enjoy walking, there is a good coffee shop (Bold Bean Coffee) 5 minutes away. In the same shopping center you will find some Restaurants (Bonefish Grill, SoNapa Grill, and Maria`s Mexican, all in walking distance, (5-10 min). Also some upscale boutiques and shoe shops. A few minutes more you have Panera Bread, Cruisers (great fish sandwich) and a Marshall`s and Home Goods.
Grocery shopping is a few minutes by car at Publix or Trader Joe`s.
South about 10 minutes is Valley Smoke and Barbara Jeans on the Water both on the intercoastal waterway.

The Neptune Beach/Atlantic Beach Town Center is worth a visit for a walking tour of it`s nice Restaurants, Shops, and Bars. The Art Walk is a free event every third Thursday of the month.

There are great shops, restaurants, and attractions nearby. It`s located 10 minutes from the Mayo clinic, 15 minutes from the TCP Sawgrass golf course, 30 minutes from historic St. Augustine to the south and Amelia Island is 40 minutes north, Savannah, GA., is 2 hours north, and Disney World is only 2.5 hours south.

The property is on Ocean Drive and just a 2 minute walk to and from the beach. A beach buggy is available to transport cooler, towels, chairs and other beach necessities which makes it easier and more relaxing.

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.

Very centrally location in South Jacksonville Beach, Trader Joe`s, Publix, and Target are across the street and there is plenty of restaurants and shopping that are close by. Make sure to reserve your dates early; this one-of-a-kind vacation rental fills up fast. It will be a pleasure to host you, your family, and/or friends.

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.

The house was filthy and I had to clean it before we used it. The mattress cover under on one of the beds was covered in dog hair and hidden under the top sheet. The dryer and dishwasher were loaded and had to be emptied at xheck in. THEN the upstairs bathroom shower flooded the downstairs bathroom, messaged the owner and 4 days later have no response from her. The leaking plumbing may explain the sour mildew smell in the downstairs part. Also, there is a window that someone could easily enter through that has no lock or security. Most of the beach equipment on property is broken and in disrepair. And let's not talk about the living room rug being nasty and unsanitary.

This place was a gem! Exactly what we needed. Wonderful, quiet, walkable neighborhood 2 homes from the beach access. Everything we needed was right around the corner - groceries, restaurants, on-ramp to the highway, etc. Jaclyn, our hostess, was super responsive. It rained a lot, and we briefly lost internet. She offered to come right over, but also guided us to where the reset was. Easy - no issues at all. All the beachy touches in the home were lovely. I wish the weather were more cooperative; we would have taken advantage of the deck and beach chairs more. But we will book again!
