Gem on the beach

We had an amazing stay.  Walking distance to Whole Foods, The beach, take out restaurants and great sit-down restaurants as well.  Also, a couple of turns off of 3rd street to get anywhere you need to go.  The place is modern and very clean with all the creature comforts of home.  The crown jewel is the enclosed outdoor sitting area out the back slider.  Beautifull, peaceful and quiet.    All 3 floors have an outdoor balcony.  We could not have been more pleased with our stay than we were.

Jax Beach Oasis!

Beautiful property, exactly like the photos. Ease of beach access can't be beat! Property included beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, etc. Home fully stocked with shower products, cleaning supplies, coffee, etc. Hostess communication was excellent. She anticipated our needs, checked in with us before, during, and after our stay and was very responsive. Restaurant recommendations provided in the home guide notebook were super helpful and all excellent! Park across the street was also fun. We would definitely recommend and stay here again!

we came from Richmond Virginia and South Bend IndianaGreat location, minutes away from grocery stores, Costco and Trader Joe’sLocation was critical for us, very nice park across the street (was great for our German shepherd and easy walk to beachPlace was clean, kitchen had decent utensils and pans to work with (would like one larger bowl we did a couple real meals there)This year the home worked out great giving a 4 month old and her parents space on the top floor. The steps for our 90 year old and two 70 year olds were a little challenging but we made it workWould definitely come back again. Thank you again for your attention to detail

I lived in Jax Bch for years

The location is fantastic. You are right in the middle of everything but far enough south of the downtown scene that you avoid the crowds and madness.The stairs leading up to third floor (master suite) are a tad narrow so you need to be aware that if you have issues with stairs, this will be a problem. Otherwise, the place and location worked just fine for my Christmas with my sons in Jacksonville.

Amazing Place, Location and Host

This place was absolutely PERFECT! The condo had everything we needed and more! Loved the back patio to relax in the evening after a day at the beach, or for coffee after our morning walk on the beach - just a very short walk from the property. We enjoyed preparing breakfast each day in the fully stocked kitchen before heading to the beach. Beach towels were provided, (which doesn't always happen but is always appreciated for those who fly rather than drive), beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and even a CART to take it all to the beach. Convenient shopping all very close including Trader Joe's (one of our favorites), Publix, and even Costco! We would definitely stay at this exact place again! The host, Coco was amazing and so easy to communicate with - and VERY helpful with suggestions on the area. Our time at Jax Beach was incredible and having the perfect accommodations certainly helped us enjoy our time there. We will be back!

Excellent in most respects

The property was excellent in most respects: great location, spacious, nicely decorated. A few negative comments: 1. It’s impossible to open the dishwasher without also opening the refrigerator door, and even then it’s very difficult. (The two are at right angles with each other.) 2. The television is one of those “smart TVs” that doesn’t have cable coverage but instead requires you to use some other subscription that you have. I had to run off to Best Buy to get an HDMI cable so that I could watch MLB playoffs. 3. There are 2-1/2 bathrooms. The listing says three. 4. There are no screens on the windows. Bugs invaded on one occasion.

Great home with plenty of space for my family. The master suite and bathroom was beautiful. We loved that it was just a short little walk to the beach.

Our stay was amazing. This was my first trip to Jacksonville Beach. The rental was clean and very nice. The neighbors were so nice. It was an extremely short walk to the beach with an amazing little park across from the rental for those that don’t like the beach all day. It is a short drive to any restaurant.

Down time at the beach

We came to property after doing quite a bit of driving in need of a couple days at the beach. The house was so close to the beach (4 minute walk) and anything else you needed. My only recommendation would be a curtain for the slider and some decent beach chairs. Our stay was perfect from booking to check out! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful home.
