Convenient location on north end of Duval St. The entire property was very clean and well maintained. Check-in and coming/going was a breeze. The ensuite bathrooms are ideal for couples traveling together. Kitchen is well appointed, ice machine is a bonus. There is a toaster oven, no microwave. We didn’t mind this but some may. An onsite laundry would have put this place over the top. Beautiful and comfortable stay with nice luxury touches.

Very nice, would stay again.
Best rental I've found on VRBO. If you want to be on Duval this is a great choice.Very clean and comfortable. The patio/deck outside is great. Location is very convenient to just about everything; restaurants, bars, shopping, activities.All beds were quite comfortable, I slept well which is not normal.A few minor things that WOULD NOT stop me from staying again.- Beware the bed frames. Took me a day to stop hitting the wooden frames. But nobody else had an issue.- Duval can be busy, if you want peace and quiet on a Friday or Saturday night you shouldn't be staying on Duval.I would recommend this unit if you want to be in the heart of Duval.
