Christmas in Avondale is elite behavior 😎🎄 So glad you loved the house and the location. Thanks for spending the holidays with us and you’re always welcome back!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the sweet digs—and how awesome are the neighbors, right? 😊 It’s like you got a great stay and a little slice of friendly community vibes! Come back anytime for more good times and great company! 🌟🏡
Enjoyed our stay at this Tranquil Avondale Home! It was so welcoming and comfortable that we did not want to leave to explore the area. Morning coffee in the quiet backyard watching the Cardinals was my favorite. Looking forward to returning for a longer stay!
The house was just as advertised. It was the perfect size and decor; it truly felt like you were staying in a home rather than a stripped-down vacation rental. Having a fenced-in yard was a must for our furry children, and having restaurants and cute shops within walking distance was ideal. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Second time I have stayed here and was just as great as my first stay. Very quiet neighborhood and enjoyed having the private yard for me and my dog to enjoy. Stay is for work in Jacksonville and this area provides an easy commute into town.

We’re so thrilled to have you back again—repeat guests like you truly make our day! 😊 It’s wonderful to hear that you and your pup enjoyed the peace, quiet, and the private yard. We’re glad the location made your work trips smoother too! You’re always welcome here, and we look forward to hosting you for visit number three (and beyond)! 🐶🌟
A beautiful older home (love the interior trim work) that was so conveniently located near coffee shops and restaurants. Easy to get to off the highway and in a nice neighborhood. We will stay there again in the future.
Had to stay here as our new house was being finished. Stayed almost 2 months and can’t say enough good things about the place and the great prompt communication from Eric!
Recommend this place to anyone who wants to be close to restaurants, Riverside or Avondale.
Loved everything about this place. House was very cute, clean, and well furnished. The patio area in back was great. Enjoyed how close to everything this place was. Walkable to several great restaurants and beach was a quick drive away. Any questions we had were answered quickly. Would return to this place in a heartbeat!
I stayed at this property for a work week in downtown. Found the location to be perfect for bringing my dog, walking to restaurants and commuting into town. The home was clean, well equipped and fenced in. Bed was comfortable and a quiet older neighborhood. Will definitely return for future trips.

Thank you for choosing this property for your recent stay, Paul! We look forward to having you again. :)
Property was just perfect for a weekend with 3 friends…clean, with everything you need for a visit…didn’t get a chance to use the outside pizza oven but wanted to!
Perfect walking location to restaurants and shops…easy access to all things Jax and short ride to St Augustine.

Thank you for choosing this property for your recent stay. M! We look forward to having you again. :)
This was our second stay at this property - which speaks volumes about how much we liked it. Avondale is a beautiful neighborhood and the house is wonderful. Great, fully fenced yard for our pup who traveled with us, and the house itself looks exactly as pictured and has everything in it you might need. It is also just a short walk to great restaurants. Highly recommend!
Short walk to Avondale shops. Clean. Good communication. Would recommend !

Disliked: Communication
Oo
Would have been better if trash from past renters had been removed from property before I checked in. I could have used an instructional information book on oven.
Otherwise very good.

Thanks for the great rating! 🎉 We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay—sometimes no words means everything was just right! 😉 Come back anytime for more good vibes! 🌟🏡✨
We loved this cool little house that fits about 4 people comfortably. The beds are two twin and two full beds, which is fine for what we needed. It was extremely hot, and the air conditioning was wonderful! We also lived sitting on the enclosed front porch at night. Houses around can be a little shady, but there are beautiful homes too. It’s a mix. Too hot to walk to Avondale, but free parking was great in this adorable shopping area. We only stayed three days for a wedding. Communication was exceptional, and we checked out late, which was helpful.
