-Attention fisherman: You can’t get any closer to the ocean! There are lots of tournaments and you are minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean. (Boat lift is
not for guest use) House is located on a main shipping channel which makes the tides go up and down by 6-9 feet which means you cannot tie up a boat to the dock. If you are bringing a boat we recommend putting in/put at local ramp and just enjoying the dock for sitting on, hanging out, fishing etc.. please mention if you are bringing a boat when booking so we can go over everything.

House is full of information on all parks+resturants+things to do!

There is a non refundable $400 pet fee.
Outdoor fire pit and fireplace are not available for guest use. They do not work.

**Due to local city mandates there are no more than 10 people allowed.**
** NO HOUSE PARTIES, NO UNAUTHORIZED GUESTS.
QUIET HOURS: ALL DAY. There is never a time that music can be turned up, people yelling/celebrating. Our neighbors are very close by and respecting them is our number one priority. If rules are broken/ neighbors report, guests will be asked to leave immediately, and your payment will be forfeited. This is absolutely not the place for any social gatherings. This property is located in a very quiet neighborhood with neighbors close by.

Surveillance cameras are present around the entire exterior of the property located at all corners, pointing to the outside of the entire home including the dock and pool deck area for safety purposes.

River house

The house worked well for our family which included several generations. The enclosed pool was great, it allowed us to be outside without the insects. We encountered several maintenance issues with the house while there. The response from the owner was very fast and the issues were quickly taken care of. We had a good week.

Family Gathering

We really had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful home and it was perfect for all my family that were coming in from out of state for my son' wedding. Meghan was great to answer any questions promptly and the welcome gift was a nice touch. Only complaint is the house is much older than the photos from the advertisement listing and the there was very little water pressure in the bathrooms. This became very difficult at night when everyone needed a shower before going to bed. The home defiantly needs some updating...

AMAZING!!!!

This serene beauty and gem was exactly what we needed!! The house was immaculate and spacious. The outside was very well kept. I don't what this place didn't have. Because I'm a chef, we brought things from our house we didn't need. This place was stocked and has everything you'll to have a great stay. We all absolutely love the accommodation and amenities! Thanks to the wonderful host for sharing your home and making the process efficient. Overall, the best air BNB we've ever stayed in hands down!!!

Relaxing Get-A-Way

We were in town for a major car show ( The Amelia). Convenient location for the show. Beautiful home with plenty of activity on the river to entertain your family. Cruise ships, tankers, Coast Guard, Navy ships, military planes and much more. Maghen is a gracious host. We are thankful that she opens up her amazing home to my friends and family. The house is beautiful and meticulously maintained. We are big travelers and rent at many locations. Meghan stocks the house with everything you need. Give this home serious consideration when you're in the Jacksonville area!

Second time was even better than the first!!!

We love this property and host!! The property is so clean and well maintained…that really means a lot to me when booking somewhere. I am an extremely nit picky cleaner and this home is one of the only VRBO’s I have stayed in where I feel comfortable and do not have to worry about cleaning when I get there. This time the host had a beautiful charcuterie board, delicious cookies and lots of snacks upon our arrival. This was so sweet and was devoured quickly. Though there are many things to do in Jacksonville,the kids just really enjoyed spending their time in the pool at the house. We love that it has the “cage”around it. The dock and views of the river and big boats were also enjoyed by all. This year we even caught 2 crabs!! We also like how the house is close to so many different beaches and things to do. I would highly recommend booking this property and we are looking forward to hopefully visiting next year!!!

Our family has been renting homes all over the country for every occasion, business and pleasure. For the last decade we have rented homes instead of staying in hotels. This is one of the best homes we've stayed in and the host is by far the best host ever! From the welcome goodies to the entire home, they are the best. Thank you and we will plan to stay there again.

Wedding out of town guest accommodations

We rented this home for our family and out of town guest coming into Jacksonville for our daughter's wedding. The house did not disappoint. It is equip with everything you could possible think of. The beds have a remote to raise or lower the bed to your comfort. The kitchen fully stocked. Plenty of towels for the pool along with pool floats, etc., Fishing rod in the garage and beach chairs. The temperature in the house was consistently cool, the temp did not fluctuate throughout the house. Bedroom closets were arrange for maximum usage and the cabinets in the closets were a great help to have your person item out but yet tucked away. The upper deck stretches across all 3 rooms on the second floor. I would absolutely rent this VRBO again. The living room is a sunken room with steps down from the foyer and from the living room to the kitchen were steps up. This did make me a bit nervous as I had 2 older (80's) adults in our party. The steps were marked with safety tape and had large planters in the middle in an effort to minimize traffic. We had no issues with the steps. The owner left us a personal note with a welcome snack basket and had a charcuterie board delivered. I could go on and on about how great this place is. 5 STAR

Amazing house, best pool!

When we were looking for a vacation rental, we wanted to find a place that had a lot of amenities in case the weather didn’t cooperate. This house fit that in spades. The weather, though, was amazing and yet we loved just hanging out by the pool and spa the best. House was spotlessly clean and beds were so comfy. Great communication with host as well. There was a nice beach 10 min away and Amelia Island was also very close. And the location was quiet and low key. We had such a relaxing trip!

This was a wonderful property! Beautiful and comfortable with more amenities than you can imagine! Maghen went above and beyond with her hospitality and being available by text to help in whatever way we needed. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed the local suggestions she gave us for sight-seeing. Would highly recommend for a family or 2 families. Plenty to do at the house and in the area for families. We enjoyed visiting Kingston Plantation, Amelia River Cruise, Little and Big Talbot and Amelia Island state parks, driving to St Augustine and Kennedy Space Center. And coming home to a heated pool was great! Thank you!
