About this property

Fig Tree Inn | steps to the beach

The renovation is complete and The Fig Tree is available again for rent! Less than 100 yards from the beach. Originally built in 1915 as a summer beach home for the Arnot family, the The Fig Tree is a lovely old cedar shake shingle cottage in the traditional Southern Beach style. We have taken great care to keep the character and charm where possible, while modernizing the kitchen, bathrooms, and decor. Perfect for groups!

The house is a charming vacation rental with six bedrooms, each with a private bath. There is a lovely living room and a wonderful "breakfast" porch where you may enjoy meals with your entire group.

Many special occasions have been celebrated at this home. Families and friends can rent the entire house for reunions, vacations or special celebrations. For larger groups and parties, we offer an event space called The Fig Room, caddy corner to this property. We gladly offer discounts if you book both places!

Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, with shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash provided. Wrap yourself in lush bath towels and bed linens after a day at the beach or out playing golf. Roku TVs in every bedroom.

Primary access is keyless entry. Door code provided the day of check-in.
Private parking available behind the property. Free public parking available directly in front of the building.

We live in Jacksonville Beach ourselves, so give us a shout if you need anything at all. We generally respond within 30 min between 8am - 9pm.

This is an amazing area of Jacksonville Beach where you will find many restaurants, cafes, and shopping areas within walking distance. The property is less than 100 yards from the beach so that is the best feature. We love having the option of walking to local eats or hitting up established healthy chains. The Neptune Beach Towne Center is less than 10 min drive and with its own set of food, shopping, and nightlife.

Great communication with host leading up to and during the rental. Great location. Minutes from the beach. Walkable to an outdoor square with music, restaurants, and bars. Easy 20 minute drive to TPC. The property is older but well maintained. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms. Highly recommend it. We rented another house from the same host that is walkable. Made it a great experience for 12 golfers.

Wonderful Vacation Home!!

The home was a wonderful vacation home for my large family! The neighbor behind the rental is very sweet. She even brought us over a couple jars of fig jelly! The neighborhood is very nice and quiet. The only problem about the rental is that it did need a little more dusting and updating, but others wise it was awesome! I’ll definitely be booking again!!

Annual Family Gathering

Ten family members stayed at the Fig Tree for 3 days and had a wonderful time! We chose the area because of access to the airport, but also found it to be an enjoyable area to walk around and explore. The Fig Tree VRBO was just what we were looking for - plenty of space to eat and play games together, and a bathroom with each of the 6 bedrooms. The house is well-maintained and had everything we needed, which made cooking large meals so much more enjoyable! We would definitely stay there again!

Nice location and having so many rooms and bathrooms worked well for the family. Needs a deep cleaning. Downstair’s bathroom door handle kept coming off and I got locked in. Had to call family from the beach to get me out. Doors were maligned. Needs to be fixed up. Seems unloved.

Family - annual get away

My family had a wonderful stay at the Fig Tree Inn. The house was build in 1915 and had been renovated very nicely. The six bedrooms and six baths was exactly what we need. All the bedrooms had either King or Queen beds. The house was just 2 blocks from the beach and that was perfect. We were not in the traffic and could just walk over. We really enjoyed sitting on the front porch and visiting. There was a really nice breeze and it was very homey. I would highly recommend this house and my family would be thrilled to stay again!

My college friends and I get together every year and each year we pick a "host" so this year it was me...which means I picked out the location and the house and then we all split the cost based on mutual trust. Well, this house is definitely not at all what I thought it would be: there were lots of nasty places all over the house - old furniture, gross bandaids under beds, no place for a nice meal or even breakfast that had any air conditioning. The great news here is that I was vocal about all of this as soon as I checked in and I sent over photos. The owner of the property came to see and agreed with us regarding the details I had mentioned. She was wonderful in working with us: she gave us the capacity to use her event space because one of our activities is practicing yoga together since one of us is a yoga teacher. She also let us borrow table cloths and a fan for the outside seating so we could create a nice ambience for our breakfasts and one dinner. That worked out great. The owner also told us that she was committed to upgrading and cleaning up the property to her standards - apparently they own several properties and she hadn't been in this one in a long time. So all this to say that if they have upgraded what is needed then this house is fantastic. I appreciated how responsive the property management and the owner was in this scenario. My girlfriends and I had a great time. Ultimately we didn't spend a ton of time in the house but when we were there we enjoyed
