A long weekend at the beach!
The house is a great size for a family of 5 or less. Just steps from the beach and about 10 mins drive from shops and restaurants the experience was great! We will be back.

Wonderful beach house!
This house fit our needs for our stay perfectly! The location was wonderful, despite some construction going on in the area. Our trip was mostly over the weekend while they weren’t working, and honestly it made the house feel more private since there wasn’t a lot of traffic going through. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable and adorable. Would definitely recommend!

Great Place to Enjoy Jax Beach
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was a great place to stay to enjoy all ofJacksonville beach. JustSteps from the Ocean, directly across fromBeach access ramp. My family really enjoyed their time inside this beachouse. It has a nice layout and in great condition. Very easy to relax on the couches after a long day at the beach or catch a movie on the Big TV. Our cocker spaniel, Tobi loved it also. The fenced in yard was awesome and walks around the block were met with other friendly dog owners. We will definitely be coming back. Kevin is a real nice guy to book with too. He did a great job making is feel right at home.

Convenient & comfortable
We required to stay in or near Mayo following surgery for five weeks. The location was convenient for multiple follow-up appointments at Mayo & also for shopping & dining. Being next to the beach was very relaxing & having our Golden Retriever made it even more so.
