Great stay. Hosts were responsive. The house is simple but comfortable. The neighborhood is clean, quiet, and safe; far enough off the beaten path to miss the hustle and bustle of a popular beach town. The house is located near restaurants. The pool is great and well care for. The neighborhood is nice for walking pets. Smiling interactions with the neighbors.

Excellent Stay

Property was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. The location was perfect. Close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, Target, and Publix. St Augustine is only 45 minutes away and well worth the drive. We were in town for a visit to the Mayo Clinic which was a quick and easy 10-15 minute drive. Check-in was seamless. The host communicated to ensure everything was fine. We had absolutely no issues. The heated pool was nice especially since it turned a bit cold during the week.As a person sensitive to smells, I appreciated how incredibly clean the property was without the lingering smell of cleaning products. Also, as a former Floridian, I was amazed at no musty smells anywhere, not even in the garage.Overall, great stay! Best VRBO experience. We hope this property is available for our next visit to Mayo.

We loved our stay at this home. It was on a dead end street in a quaint, well kept, quiet, update neighborhood. It was clean! The whole house was perfect. Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. Modern kitchen that was well stocked. Beautiful private pool. We had Mayo Clinic appointment and this couldn’t have been located better. On the city lines between Jacksonville Beach and Ponta Vedra. It was just blocks from the beach and very close to the 202. Mayo was just off 202 about 8 mins away. I would highly recommend this rental. Very good communication with owners too.

Great neighborhood home

We had a great stay at the sunshine cottage. The location was perfect for us, the neighborhood was quite and in a safe location. Very close to the Publix, skate park/ play ground. We rode our bikes to the beach down 37th several times. There is minimal on street parking here. We also Drove 15 min to Jax beach and Neptune beach. The home was clean and well stocked with kitchen items for cooking, we made many meals here. The beds were comfortable and had spare bedding and towels available. We really appreciated the spare household products. We really enjoyed the pool, the water was warm and clean. The hosts were readily available if needed. I would bring pool toys and beach chairs/ umbrella if you are traveling with kids. Overall a wonderful stay! Would return!

Perfect House in Awesome Location

Our family is actually local to Jacksonville but our AC went out so we decided to make the best of it! We stayed for 5 nights and it was perfect. House was super clean, beds were comfy and all rooms included a smart tv so you can stream all your favorite shows! The pool was perfect, we ate dinner outside most nights!

Get away

Kitchen poorly stocked with spices and utensils. Quick response from manager to get a spatula and grill brush. 1 day supply of body wash and shampoo provided. The neighbors near the home is my biggest complaint. A lawn company was partially blocking our driveway and trash can. My husband politely asked the neighbor whose vehicle it was and if they could move it. The neighbor got defensive about it and she asked the company to move it. The next day another neighbor came up to my son asking if the house was a rental or VRBO, and who was staying there. She brought up the previous interaction with the vehicle blocking the driveway. She was very nosy and inebriated. My husband had to again politely explain the situation to her. If they don’t like that there is a vacation rental in their neighborhood then they should bring that up with the homeowners association. I would not stay there again because of the neighbors.
