Entire space is yours.

We want you to enjoy your stay and privacy. Feel comfortable knowing we are here to help you. Our goal is to earn a 5 star rating! We take our cue from you. We are very sociable but know when to give you the space you want.

The neighborhood is tucked back along the St Johns River but only a mile or so from SR 13/ San Jose Blvd. You can find everything within a very short distance and we are centrally located from the beaches, downtown Jax and must see historical tourist locations. The neighborhood is extremely quiet from "people noise" but you'll cherish the sounds of nature.

Easy access throughout the area with community roads and safe and well maintained sidewalks.

We love dogs and know how special and comforting it is to have them travel with you. Your fenced in area is perfect for them to get some fresh air and take care of their personal things.

Upon checkout, please ensure that all messes are picked up and disposed of.

Second time I've stayed at this location and was as perfect as the first. Really love the proximity to area restaurants and for getting into JAX. The property is perfect for my dog to roam around in the fenced in area. Owner's are great and will plan a return!

Charming and Perfectly Located

This is our second stay at Pop’s Garage in Jacksonville. Perfectly located within a thirty minute drive to all the places we needed to visit while in town and the rental checks all the boxes for our rental spot…comfy, private, kitchen, washer/dryer, pet friendly with the added bonus of a fenced yard. Our three pups enjoyed relaxing and hanging out in the upgraded fenced area with patio and beautiful oaks. We would highly recommend Pop’s Garage in lieu of a hotel for the privacy and tranquility. The Hosts are very detailed which made our check in, stay, and check out an easy one. Thank you David and Laurie for sharing you lovely property. Eric, Rlee, Flora, Donny & Dolly

Haven for Home Repairs

Pop's Garage is so cute and cozy! We stayed there for 2 nights while work was done on our home in the same area of town. It looked just like what we booked on line and we really enjoyed it. It was very clean and had everything you need. There is a nice fenced in area for pets which our dogs enjoyed very much. The host was very nice and checked on us to make sure we had what we needed. We will be back should we have to vacate our house again in the future.

Another amazing stay at Pop garage

The place is super clean that is what you notice this first thing when you walk in. The amenities… where to begin they have thought of things you need that you probably forgot to bring with you. Best part ever dog friendly! A great enclosed fenced yard space where dogs can sniff and do their business. The “garage” is spacious and neatly adorned you forget you are actually in a garage space. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to jax

Private Hidden Gem!

I needed to just get away from the hustle.and bustle with my dog. Found this gem of a place last minute. Easy to get to, I arrived to an adoreable garage converted into an inlaw suite. Clean, spacious, and felt like home. Fenced yard waa even better for my doggo! Highly recommended if you need solitude.
