About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming Riverside/Avondale Award Winning Historical Home! Family/pet friendly!

This Victorian home built in 1903, is fully renovated with all the modern comforts, but keeping its history and southern charm. It has all the appeal - and challenges - of a 122 year old house. If you like stark, bland, new construction, this is not the house for you!

Located in the historical area of Avondale, with excellent restaurants, beautiful parks and shops all in walking distance. Enjoy a fun day of shopping in original and eclectic boutiques or take a bike ride and see all the historical sites. Museums, downtown and the sports complexes are within a 10 minute drive. It's just 10 minutes to treatment centers like The Proton Center, Mayo Clinic and the new Anderson's Cancer Center. Jax beach is just 30 minutes away. Disney World is a little over 2 hours away.

This is a cozy comfortable home, but large enough for you to have multiple couples or a large family. The third floor is a bonus room with extra space for gathering, sleeping or working.

This property delivered so much more than it promised. I cannot overstate how spacious, clean and accomodating we found the house. The ground floor offers several large gathering spaces, and the bedrooms are sizeable, one with a broad terrace and another with a cozy sitting area and an enormous ensuite. The kitchen is more than merely functional, with all appliances in good working order. The owner was easily accessible on the one occasion we had to reach her. Again, this property exceeded our expectations and set a new standard for short-term lets.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and perfectly located home. My sister and I came into town to celebrate our mom’s 90th birthday and picked the perfect place to relax, catch up, eat good food and see the sites. The house was exactly as we expected; clean, cozy, well appointed and close to everything we wanted to do - shopping, dining, museums and a beautiful, quiet neighborhood for just walking around. Kathryn was a very gracious host and made sure we had everything we needed. She was always accessible and responded quickly through the app. I highly recommend this property and will not hesitate to stay there again.

We spent 4 days there with family for a wedding and everything was wonderful. We loved the neighborhood, the house and furnishings are amazing. The only drawback for older couples are that all the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathrooms are a little spread out. Grab bars would be wonderful. But I’m 85 and did fine with it. I’d rebook in a heartbeat!

This home is a great place to stay when you are in Jacksonville. It’s well taken care of and you can tell there is a lot of pride in the ownership. The neighborhood is very quiet and great for taking long walks. It is ideally situated near the Avondale shopping district, which is only a 10 minute walk away. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location, spacious house!

Stayed for two weeks. This property is well-located, with a 15 minute walk to the shops and restaurants in Avondale. The house is spacious and well appointed. We especially appreciated the large master bathroom and kitchen. The property owner was responsive to our questions and requests. Lots of bedrooms for a larger group.

Beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood

The house is clean, well decorated and spacious. It is located in a quiet, desirable neighborhood which is close to a museum, parks, shops and restaurants (walking distance for some). The house is plenty big for a group of 6 or more. I could live in this house!

Owner was helpful but property didn’t meet expectations

While the owner was very lovely and responsive, unfortunately the property didn’t meet our expectations and we checked out after one night. We knew it was a heritage / older home so expected more antique type furniture but listing made it seem more updated then it was. We also found it smelled very musty and the carpets were in bad condition. So unfortunately we didn’t stay.

Beautiful Home in a Great Location!

We absolutely loved our stay. The historical home was so clean and very beautifully decorated. Our King size bed was so comfy. We golfed during the day and then returned for the evening to have dinner close by at local restaurants. We especially loved “Biscotti’s.” We also enjoyed a morning walk in “Boone’s Park” located in the area as well. All in all a great stay. Will definitely be back.
