Historic House + ADU Complex - Sleeps up to 21!

Summary:
Walk/bike within historic Springfield, downtown, San Marco, and Riverside from this beautifully restored home only a 5 min drive to TIAA Bank Field; perfect for large groups attending FL-GA, Daley Place concerts, and events downtown!

Restored in 2005, this house has many high-end features, a wide open downstairs, & a large master bedroom suite as well as a carriage suite in the back featuring 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom.

Take your breakfast in the backyard garden or meet your neighbors as you sit on the porch and take in all that this vibrant neighborhood has to offer.

The Space:
You'll love all that this home has to offer during your stay

The main house filled with high-end wood trim throughout, coffered and beadboard ceilings, as well as fully restored hardwood floors. The downstairs is an open floor plan with a large living room, dining room, breakfast nook, and sun room leading out to the backyard deck and gardens. You'll also love the spacious master bathroom suite including a large walk in double headed shower and dual vanities and his and her walk in closets - perfect for longer term guests.

The carriage house is directly behind this house/on the same property. The carriage house offers a 1BR 1Bath with a fully equipped kitchen, living room and washer and dryer in unit.

Outside, enjoy the furnished front porch, backyard deck, pavers and gardens, along with the decorative wrought-iron fence in the front yard. Please note that outdoor spaces are shared with any tenants/guests in the carriage house located behind the main house. Book one or both of these units.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire house with the exception of the laundry room. Access to the laundry room is available to longer term guests (>7 days) and for $15 per booked day for shorter term guests.

Spread out, relax, and enjoy!

The Neighborhood:
Springfield is amazing! It is a diverse, vibrant, up and coming neighborhood located just north of Jacksonville's downtown.

You'll initially fall in love with the gorgeous late 19th/early 20th century houses and expansive parks but you'll want to stay for the amazing people. Join a First Friday party, Second Sunday celebration on Main St or in Klutho Park, or check out the monthly Main Street cruise, downtown's Art Walk, Porchfest, or one of the annual home tours.

Furthermore, check out some of the great new businesses that have opened on Main St!

Social Grounds Coffee, 1748 Bakehouse, Crispy’s Springfield Gallery, Strings Sports Brewery, Main & Six Brewery, Hyperion Brewery, Wafaa & Mike’s Mediterranean Café, Fred Cotten’s BBQ, and Uptown Kitchen are all fantastic local establishments that are a short walk from your home.

Getting Around:
Public transportation is minimal in Jacksonville in general. You are a few blocks north of the downtown bus terminal if you would like to use that.

There is also the Skyway if you would like to take a short trip around the urban core area.

Uber and Lyft both operate in Jacksonville so these are excellent resources if you don't feel like driving/don't have access to a car.

Other Things to Note:
PLEASE CONTACT US PRIOR TO BOOKING IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW RENTAL AGREEMENT.

We charge for additional guests above a fixed amount. This amount and additional charge varies by unit type, size, and configuration. If you input the correct guest count when you make your reservation the amount the booking site indicated as the total cost will not change (due to guest count). We ask for confirmation of guest count after you complete your booking. If you need to increase your guest count after booking confirmation due to a booking error, this could result in a price increase. Finally, we verify guest count via external cameras located on our properties. In the event that we notice a guest count at the property that is higher than reported, we reserve the right to ask for additional guest fees that would be double the amount we would have charged prior to check-in.

Kindly refer to the following guidelines regarding fees for extra guests:
Studio & 1 BR units - $25 per guest/night after 2 guests (i.e. 3 guests would be $25/night extra and 4 guests would be $50/night extra)
2 BR units - $30 per guest/night after 4 guests (i.e. 5 guests would be $30/night extra and 6 guests would be $60/night extra)
3 BR unit - $35 per guest/night after 6 guests (i.e. 7 guests would be $35/night extra and 8 guests would be $70/night extra)
4 BR units - $40 per guest/night after 8 guests (i.e. 9 guests would be $40/night extra and 10 guests would be $80/night extra)
5 BR+ units - $45 per guest/night after 10 guests (i.e. 11 guests would be $45/night extra and 12 guests would be $90/night extra)

This house is pet friendly so if you are highly allergic to dogs or cats this home may not be a good fit for you. My cleaning service is very good but you may notice an occasional dog/cat hair here and there.

I do charge a pet fee of $30/night per pet that you bring with you. This reduces to $150/week per pet and $300/month per pet for longer term guests. This fee is not included in the accommodation fare rate. We will send a request for the additional funds once the number of pets is confirmed after booking.

***If you neglect to inform me ahead of time that you are bringing a pet with you then I reserve the right to either TERMINATE your stay early or DOUBLE the pet fee retroactively for the entirety of your reservation.***

We have a washer and dryer available to longer term guests (staying with us > 1 week) for free. We generally do not give shorter term guests access to it but may allow access for a fee of $15 per day booked. Please send us the payment via a special offer and we will provide the code for access.

If you are local to Jax and book for less than 7 days we reserve the right to ask you to cancel your reservation. We rarely make an exception to policy but may elect to do so at our sole discretion.

Also, Saturday check-ins and check-outs are (generally) not allowed unless you are booking a stay that is >7 days, with the exception of some specific weekends (FL-GA and TPC Sawgrass weekends are a few examples) . I may allow an exception to this policy (depending on the specific weekend and season) but reserve the right not to do so or to ask you to modify of cancel a reservation starting or ending on a Saturday.

The following additional charges apply to late check outs/early arrivals, assuming I can offer this at all (I often can’t so please never assume this will be allowed):

1 hr or less early arrival or late departure: $100
1-2 hr early arrival/late departure: $200
2-3 hr early arrival/late departure: $300
3+ hr early arrival/late departure: $100/hr or the cost of an additional night’s stay, whichever is more

These fees are primarily in place to highly discourage late checkouts/early arrivals since this causes my cleaning service undue stress to prep the unit prior to your or the next set of guest’s arrival. This also increases the need for them to rush/cut corners, increasing the likelihood of them not cleaning the unit to the high standard which I hold them to.

We have a Nest thermostat in place on each floor of the house and do limit temperatures to the following ranges to reduce our environmental impact. It has an automatic schedule (which in the summer will adjust the temperature up and in the winter down during the day) but we are happy to modify this within the below range on request:

Summer - 70 to 85 degrees F
Winter - 60 to 75 degrees F

If this is outside of your comfort zone then this apartment may not be a good fit for you.

***Smoking is strictly forbidden anywhere on the property - the house, front porch, back deck, or front or back yard***

***If we find cigar/cigarette butts of any kind on the property or evidence of smoking (ash on porch, deck, empty cigarette packs, etc.) We assess a $500 cleaning fee in addition to the regular cleaning fee***

There is a propane grill on the back deck with grill utensils and grill cleaner in the kitchen. I do not supply propane but you are welcome to pick up a tank and leave what you don’t use for a future guest. After using the grill please clean it with the supplied grill cleaner/steel brush in order to avoid additional cleaning fees.

For guests requiring a pack n play, high chair, or any other non-standard item, please submit your request at least 7 days before check-in to ensure availability. If the request is made less than 7 days prior to check-in, we will make every effort to accommodate it, but cannot guarantee availability.

Finally, guests are strictly forbidden from bringing firearms or items associated with them (including guns, bullets, gunpowder, shells, magazines, silencers, etc.) on this property whether or not they are licensed. If you violate this policy or we find evidence that you did (e.g. firearms or bullets are discovered by our cleaners following your stay) we will assess a $1000 fine.
