Great Jax Beach HQ

We had a nice time meeting family here, plenty of space, great backyard and pool. The games and activities were fun, especially the mini golf. Our only issue was A/C not keeping the upstairs cool in the afternoon/evening, however, the magmnt was very responsive and made some repairs that significantly improved temperature for our last couple days.
