About this property

Cute Cottage in Historic District with pool

A poolside guesthouse located in a lush tropical garden yard. This studio with 1 bedroom/1 bath is in Jacksonville’s Avondale Historic District, and just steps away from the popular Shoppes of Avondale with its trendy restaurants and quaint shops. Its perfect for business travelers, singles, or couples.
The space features a super cozy queen size bed with luxury linens. There is also a mini-kitchen with microwave and compact refrigerator. Have your morning coffee overlooking the greenery and sparkling pool!
As the photos show, we live in the main house and the guesthouse is in the rear by the pool. The pool/yard area is a shared space. However, if we are aware guests are using the pool we would not intrude.
Please be aware we do have a friendly dog you may sometimes see in the yard so if you are not dog friendly or have a fear of dogs this property may not suitable for you.

Loved my visit at this sweet little cottage, and the cozy yard with the pool. Off-street parking was so convenient, and the location was lovely. Easy walk to downtown, and some wonderful riverside walks/runs. Luann was super responsive and wonderful.

We absolutely loved this little cottage! It was in such a safe neighborhood, and the hosts were so accommodating— and we loved their dog! The cottage was clean and furnished with everything we could need. Shopping and dining areas were maybe a mile away. Perfect!

Nice clean inexpensive place. Good bed & mattress. It needs to be warm to really enjoy it and the pool, otherwise if it is colder it’s not a great find and perhaps in general below average.

About the host

Hosted by LuAnn Dunkinson

Host profile image
We are an empty nester couple who are enjoying our adopted hometown of Jacksonville! We live in the main house on the property. Travel is our foremost passion and we spent all of 2014 traveling around the world with just us and our carry-ons. This is how we were introduced to VRBO since this was our main go-to on that adventure!
We have a very sweet gentle Great Dane, Heidi, who you may occasionally see out taking a sunbath!

Why they chose this property

We love our mid century modern home in the Historic District and when we discovered the potential of our pool cottage we were even more excited. Our neighborhood is so wonderful with such a varied amount of architectural styles, mainly dating back to the 1900's. A perfect place for a leisurely walk with a stop in one of Avondale's great restaurants.

What makes this property unique

The benefit of this location is that it is so completely walkable and relaxing if you prefer to stay in the neighborhood. . Or, hop into your car, and about a half an hour later you can also be at the beach! Less than a half hour and you can visit downtown, or be at the stadium for a Jag's game, or even visit our wonderful zoo. Wander a bit further to one of the coastal reserves- Big or Little Talbot and Amelia Island. You will not be bored.
