About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Large historic house with porch & deck!
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.
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.
It is 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.
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.
For parties that are 15+ or for smaller groups looking to spread out more, I can also offer you the carriage house that is directly behind this house/on the same property.
This will also mean that you won’t potentially have to share the backyard with another group of guests if you’re looking for additional privacy.
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.

Cute, quiet escape from the city!
Two couples (2 children) had plenty of space for a weekend trip! Parking was a breeze, as well as the check-in process! The front porch was where we spent most of our time when we were not out and about! A quiet neighborhood made for some nice relaxation time. Inside, the bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, VERY comfortable mattresses; we slept like babies. Communicating with the Eric, the property manager, was easy and he was very accommodating. We would absolutely stay again!

It was beautiful, we enjoy it, I would love to do it again, everything was great, it just didn't have a smoking area. We had to drive around for little bit to smoke and then come back to the house, but everything that everything was fine.

Great location for a bowl game weekend
This house was a great location to get to TIAA Bank field and to access roads to get to the beach. Our kids were disappointed there were no TVs in the rooms, but that us parents very happy! They actually played cards with the jumbo UNO cards!!
This is an up and coming neighborhood with all the quirkiness that comes with these areas. You need to be prepared to drive by beautiful old homes and the mission that is not far away. We never felt unsafe, and very much enjoyed this older home.

4 night stay
Property manager was very responsive which was a plus. The rooms are large. The bathrooms were very nice and roomy. The mattresses in the smaller rooms weren't the best but did the job.
Would stay again

Wonderful Property!
The pictures did not do the property justice. The renovation and attention to detail of this historic property was an experience in itself. Lots of room, very comfortable beds, hugh kitchen, lots of sunlight, etc. Look forward to our next stay!

Family trip to Jacksonville
This was our families first time in Jacksonville, we had a blast. The house was what we expected and we enjoyed our stay. The cleaning crew didn't show up as expected before our check-in, but the property manager was there cleaning when we arrived. Communication throughout the stay was great and immediate. We would stay here again.
