We had a great time! The house was excellent and Heather was amazing! We have a large dog that goes everywhere with us and we loved there was no weight limit for him or mandatory kennel! My husband actually forgot to click that we would be bringing him and I didn't realize until the day before. Got in touch with Heather and she immediately fixed it. Would absolutely go back. Also love the history of the house

We had a fabulous stay at Surf Park House. Everything you could possibly need or want was there for us. Extremely clean, great backyard, bedrooms a good size with lots of room for clothes and enough hangers, which is not always the case. Very happy with this place. The beach was 4 blocks directly from the home with the peir being a 8-10 min. walk down the beach. Would stay again. One of the nicer VRBOs we have stayed at in Jacksonville Beach over the last 4 yrs. Great to be able to have our dog and nice for the fenced in yard. Highly recommend. Wendy and Sam
