Spring Break Getaway
Location is great, just two blocks to the beach. We walked there everyday :)The place was cute, looked like the pictures that are posted online. The apartment could use a toaster and the bed that is in the "extra room" is super uncomfortable (my daughter ended up sleeping on the couch). Also, the chairs that were left for us to use were broken.

Host was excellent and very nice, place was clean, cute.
Was not impressed with the neighborhood or the surroundings. A lot of empty/ vacant houses. 2 blocks from the beach was great on a short notice vacation

I loved this house! The owners were “Johnny on the spot” when problems arose. They also extended my time weekly until my home was finished being repaired. The location is awesome if you love the beach! When friends or family come down to visit...I’ll be renting again from them!

House is too old and smelly.
They could have swept the main entrance. The front was dirty, parking area had dog poops the second day. Inside was not neet. My kids complained throughout the stay

Cute 2 bedroom close to beach
Everything inside the apartment was great. Linens and beach equipment provided. My only complaint was being downstairs. The master bedroom is under the entrance so you can hear coming and goings. The clients staying upstairs were loud early morning too which made sleeping in impossible.
Everything else was perfect.

Spring Break 2018
My kids complained that we never do anything cool for spring break. Which we don't, my poor daughter had surgery one spring break. I searched the area for affordable condos and This one came up and it was with in my budget. The condo was clean and comfortable. I loved being able to grocery shop and cook at home. The in unit laundry was also great because it cut down on the post vacation chores. It literally was a very short walk to the beach, restaurants, tattoo shops, night life, gas stations, and a very short drive to the grocery store. I recommend renting a bike to get around. I would give a 5 star except the beds need replacement. The "master" bedroom bed was very hard and loud when there was any sort of adjustment in sleeping position. The blinds also needed replacement, some were brittle & broken and there was some dirt collected on them. In our welcome book it said there is a gas grill and it actually was a charcoal grill. I had to buy my own charcoal and then clean it out after using it. A gas grill would have been more convenient and easier to clean. I also worried that the smoke that was produced was moving into the upstairs unit. The manager was very attentive to 2 noise complaints I had when the upstairs unit was loud upon their arrival at 12am. The upstairs unit kitchen/entry way is right above the bedrooms, you can hear walking, talking and unpacking very clearly. I highly recommend that if you value your sleep to get the upstairs unit. If you're a night owl and would be up at 12am anyways this is the unit for you. Over all my vacation was very fun and relaxing. I got plenty of naps on the beach to make up for the minor interruptions of my sleep.

Clean and comfortable ground floor unit for a Florida getaway
Furnishings and amenities were fine. Great location within minutes' walking distance to beach. Pleasant restaurants/coffee shops within walking distance. Parking for 2 vehicles was very cramped.

Good Location
Great location. Very close to the beach, a lot of good restaurants and shops near by. Unlike other reviewers I didn't feel unsafe in this area. We actually walked to the beach that night around 11pm with no worries. Unit was nice and what I expected from a older beach house. Beds in master bedroom wasn't very comfortable and parking was difficult with my suburban. Other then that no complaints. Owners was great to deal with and we greatly appreciate them allowing us to check in an hour early.

Nice rental for the price, just didn't meet our needs
Up stairs neighbors were loud, dogs continued to walk around, I guess they never slept. Conveniently located to everything.

Absolutely wonderful
We thought the place was perfect. Being beach people the close proximity to the beach was excellent
Plenty to do in Jacksonville Beach, and if you run out of ideas Neptune beach is only 2 miles away and so is Atlantic Beach
High end , drive 2 miles South to Ponte Vedra
Owners are wonderful and respond to every question or need you have
Price was fantastic

Nice beach getaway
We liked the two separate bedrooms, so our daughter had her own bedroom. We liked the kitchen, fully equipped, including coffee. We liked the bathroom and shower. Really liked having the washer and dryer. What a nice surprise to have beach chairs, an ice cooler, and boogie boards. Can’t think of anything that was missing.

Affordable, Convenient Location for Beach Visit
We were generally very satisfied with the property. It is a good, affordable option for a family looking for easy access to a nice beach.
The size of the rental was just right for our family of four. Our two teenage boys can sleep in the same bed, but things are more peaceful if they get separate beds. We were very happy that the bonus room functioned just fine as a third bedroom for us. The unit is just two blocks from the beach, so it is easy to get to the ocean any time you like. It is also within walking distance of drugstores, a Starbucks, and a couple of restaurants (although I still recommend having a car). Everything was clean and all of the appliances we used worked fine.
The only downside of the visit was the noise from our upstairs neighbor on our last night. Sound does travel easily from upstairs, but this wasn't an issue until they decided to have a large group of friends over. The owners of the property did everything I could have asked of them to resolve the situation and I thank them for that.
Some tips for staying at this property: Although there is some beach equipment on the property, it isn't a lot. We brought our own and supplemented with what was in the unit and that worked well. The ignition on the gas grill doesn't work, so you'll want a long match to light it. I used the last match I could find to light the grill, so check for matches before you go to cook. The garbage/recycling trucks go down the alley the unit faces, so you don't need to worry about taking them to the street. There aren't a lot of solid shelves in the bathroom (mostly wire shelves) so having a hanging toiletry bag, or even a plastic container to hold your odds-n-ends, is helpful. If you are bringing a dog, they are not allowed on the beach between 9am and 5pm.
Finally, I'd like to respond to a previous reviewer about the neighborhood. True, the houses aren't as nice as a similar area of Neptune Beach, but that doesn't mean it isn't safe. We were out in the neighborhood at all hours and felt fine. Look at the license plates in the area and you'll see very few out-of-state plates. This is a neighborhood of average folks that happens to be at the beach, not a typical vacation spot. I actually like that. It means that the beach is fairly open most days and you'll have plenty of room to enjoy the ocean.

No views & Not for light sleepers
Based on other reviews, we expected to be "wow-ed". While it's a cute cottage & the owners are attentive to their guests, the furniture is dingy, beach chairs & toys were old, & there are no views at all.
It's also a bottom unit, We got absolutely no sleep as the neighbors above us sounded like they were doing jazzercise every other hour and they had a dog who liked to run, constantky. You hear everything, even the conversations.
I also wish I'd done a little more research on the area. At first arrival, I didn't feel safe as there are a lot of run-down homes, We spent most of our time at Neptune Beach, as that's a much nicer/upscale area.
You also need a car. This rental is not that close to restaurants & shops, especially when you are walking in 99 degree weather.
We made the best of our stay, but spent most of it out of the cottage based on the above.

Very comfortable and close to the beach!
A group of girls and I rented both units of the house for the weekend. Both were very clean when we arrived and were equipped with the right amount of kitchen supplies, linens, and beach stuff. Erin, was very responsive leading up to our stay and throughout. Highlights: the beach is an easy 2 block walk away, Breezy Cafe and 3rd Street dinner were a 2 minute walk, the restaurants/bars near the pier were a fun 15 minute walk or 3 minute drive away, each bedroom had a flat screen TV and the decor was very nice. The beds were super comfortable and I heard the futons were as well. Overall, we had a blast and would definitely stay again. Thank you!
