Plenty of room for 3. Convenient location on San Jose in Mandarin. Close to NAS Jax, Beach Blvd, Orange Park, and all points south of city. Spent time visiting family. Weather first few days was wet and cool then last days warm and sunny. The break in heat was nice. It was nice doing the flea and farmer markets. Enjoyed the ease of using 295. Would recommend this place if visiting Jax. Pets were comfortable and safe while out doing errands. I think they enjoyed their alone time also. I hear there are plenty of dog friendly places and parks in Jax to explore and will have to check them out.

Convenient location

We came to Jacksonville to visit relatives and attend the Mandarin Art Festival. This house was close to everything we needed to visit. House met all our needs, including laundry. Groceries and such were nearby, as were restaurants. Umami Japanese Curry is a block away and delicious. El Castillo Taqueira & Bakery is a short drive, and worth it - had the best tacos here.

Madarin

The house was clean and plenty of room for us, the owner was very responsive and polite. Only thing i would recommend would be at least a small fire pit in the back with a few chairs for an added amenity.

Mandarin Pearl worth considering on next Jax visit

My solo visit for 4 nights could not have been easier at the Mandarin Pearl. Owner was very attentive/responsive leading into my arrival and I never needed anything from him during my stay. I did not need to use the yard. I did need to use the shower and it could best be described as worn but clean. All in all, the Pearl was clean, suited my needs and was easy to access. There might not a better walk to coffee/breakfast in America than the mere steps from the Pearl to Bagels R Us.

Advertised fenced in back yard that was unuseable due to fire ants and overgrown. Could not access yard due to gate not working properly. Kitchen poorly stocked with standard conveniences. Left with one dish towel for a 12 day stay. Area quite noisy...one block away from main highway. Dirty utensils....NO SMOKE ALARM OR CARBON MONOXIDE SENSOR. Tub looks like it was cleaned with dirty bricks. Mattresses covered a very brittle plastic making it quite hot, noisy and sheets kept coming off the mattress. Advertised patio which consisted of a carport furnished with 2 small plastic chairs by the garbage bins. Very Disappointed!

Close to everything

We spent a month here in December/January. The house is three bedrooms and one full bath. The Beds were comfortable. The house is a great place if you have pets with a nice yard. There is laundry on site. The main kitchen pots, pans, utensils, table settings, were all there. Appliances are all fairly new and work well. The host were very nice and accommodating with a couple requests while we were there and they were very nice about helping out. The only thing I would point out is for folks so they’re not surprised the tub/shower floor.looks dingy. It wasn’t necessarily not clean, but it probably could be replaced. Other than that, we did purchase our own swiffer mop to keep up with the tile floor, but there was a provided vacuum we used as well. If you’re looking for a place that you can bring a family that’s close to shops and activities as well as the beaches at a reasonable price this might fit the bill.

BEWARE

We rented this property because it stated it had a complete fenced in yard. That was the main reason. 1. Gate was broken and could not be closed. 2. HUGE Florida ant mountains all over the yard, side walk and driveway. 3. all weeds!! They stuck to our pants and covered the dogs paws. 4. Flying bugs all over the yard because the grass/weeds were so tall and abundance of and farms hidden in the tall weeds. 5. roughly 50 feet from the busiest blvd in Mandarin. Heard cars all night. Ended up in the ER. Had a reaction to 54 ant bites. I was standing in the driveway. I had lots of pictures. Owner would not response to any of my message concerning the tall weeds and if someone was coming by to cut them and kill all the ant mountains. NOT hills, mountains.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Dec, 2024
Guest satisfaction is my priority. That's why I have always been ready to assist them immediately with any issue. All I know about this review is that this local guest called customer service a few days after check-out, asking for a two-day refund. I confirmed with VRBO that no messages or any type of communication were sent to me. This review does not describe the property; it's opposite to the rest of many reviews made by many satisfied guests. Sincerely Richard
