Our family of 10 adults 3 teenagers and 4 children had a wonderful experience! The house was roomy and very comfortable. Pool was perfect. The view of the beach was amazing! Jax Beach is the best beach for a family vacation! Would love to stay here again.

4.0
The house is large enough for a family to be comfortable. The view of the beach from the large windows is beautiful, and the beach is easily accessible by a short walk via the public walkway.
Could use some updating of furnishings and kitchen could use some dishes and coffee mugs that are dishwasher safe. There was an awkward, 3 inch step down from the kitchen and dining area to the living space which was a tripping hazard. Also you must walk outside two flights of stairs to get from the lowest level to the middle level. The air conditioning did go out for a day which was uncomfortable, but it was repaired within reasonable amount of time. Overall it's a lovely place, and we had a great time.

It was a nice time spent with family. Pool area was great!
5.0
Property very nice, clean and lots of room. Downstairs condo is not as updated as the upstairs and it's features. When we got there the upstairs AC was not working. But Marco quickly had a technician onsite to resolve the issue! Perfect place for a large family or a few families or couples.

Our weekend stay at this property was absolutely fantastic! The property was immaculate, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated. The location was serene, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The host was incredibly accommodating and attentive to our needs, making our stay truly memorable. We enjoyed every moment spent here and can't wait to return. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a perfect weekend escape!"

Place was great for entertaining and plenty of room.
5.0
We love this house! We affectionately call it the Up house (from the movie Up) because it sits between two mid rise buildings and is one of the few houses on the beach in Jacksonville Beach. We live it because it has a pool and easy beach access. It accommodates all of the family well with lots of space. We’ll be back.

Pros
Great location. Great views. Plenty of seating.
Kitchen mostly stocked, needs bowls.
Plenty of parking.
Cons
Home is a duplex. So you must exit the front of the house to move between the 3/3 downstairs and the 4/4 upstairs. It was a challenge with kids and pool access.
Advertised with spa / hot tub. Only has bath tubs.
Beach access is not direct from property.
There are 4” lips in all wet spaces, trip hazards for sure.
Fridges both dirty. Missing and broken shelves in fridges.
4.0
Despite all of the positives, this property was TIRED and barely provisioned with the basics. 1st floor cabinets were beat up. Dryer barely worked. No hot tub as indicated in listing. Rear lights not working. Minimalist TV in living room on 1st floor. Bedding was minimalist with one thin blanket over the sheet - Overnight low was in the 40s and we had thermostats that were locked with AC setpoint of 68! Next morning, we had three glasses and 2 bowls in a place that sleeps 18. They quickly brought by glasses but told us to buy paper bowls for our family Christmas Eve dinner.
Positives: We enjoyed our family gathering at this beachfront location. It is in a great locale right on the beach and we had plenty of room to accomodate our visting family members. We had local family joining for meals so it was great with lots of seating and table space for everyone. The place is large and is promoted as sleeping 18.

We spent the Thanksgiving week with our family on the ocean. The location of this property is excellent! Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and bars. You are also close to grocery and liquor stores (about a 5 minute drive at most).

Had a great time with a bunch of friends. Marco was very responsive. Great location on beach and access to bars and restaurants

We had a wonderful stay at this property in Jax Beach! We were celebrating my husband's retirement from the Navy. There was plenty of room for all of our family. The views were 100%. FYI- the 2nd and 3rd floor is NOT connected to the first floor. You have to exit the first floor outside and climb outdoor stairs to enter the 2nd floor. The second/third floor does not connect to the pool area. We wish that they added stairs to the 2nd floor balconies to be able to access the pool easier. Marco- the property manager was quick to respond and answered all questions! Overall we enjoyed our stay and loved how convenient the location in Jax beach was. Close to groceries and restaurants

This VRBO property was absolutely perfect for our family. We were 5 families, ages 1-81 with ample room for relaxation or gathering together for meals and great conversation. I would highly recommend this property. It had everything we needed and more. We definitely enjoyed our stay.

A nice place to gather with family and friends.
Plenty of great restaurants to explore, some within easy walking distance.
4.0
The house was beautiful, clean, well-furnished, and the oceanfront views fron the second and third levels were gorgeous. There were a number of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, and a Publix supermarket was 3 minutes away by car. Just a few negatives that caused us to give it 4 stars overall instead of 5. Because the house is split into 2 units (which we knew when we booked it), there was no direct access from the upper unit to the pool area.This necessitates exiting the upper unit on the street side, going down 2 flights of steps, and either cutting through the lower unit or around the outside of the house to get to the pool, which can be quite a trip with small children in tow. Dresser storage and closet space in the 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor that share a bath was very poor. One closet was pretty much consumed by the washer and dryer, and the "dressers" in the rooms consisted of a small cabinet and a bookcase, both of which were in poor condition with broken hardware, doors, and drawers and were unusable. Other minor issues included a lack of cereal bowls and coffe mugs in both units (only 3 or 4 of each in both units), maybe adding a wastebasket to the 2nd floor washer and dryer closet, snd maybe adding some additional hooks or other storage to the shared bath as counter space and storage are very limited. Those issues aside, the property was very nice, the owner communicated well, and we would stay there again.

This house is amazing! Right on the beach and with a pool. It is a gem among impersonal condos. Not sure how it survived the building boom but we love it. Second time we've stayed there. Perfect for beach and within walking distance of restaurants and some shops.

Beautiful spot and perfect location. Bedrooms were excellent, pool was lovely. Marco was extremely responsive.

Nice house with spacious living spaces and bedrooms. Plenty of bathrooms too! Gorgeous views of the ocean from the house. Easy walk to restaurants, shops and the beach. The beach was not crowded and the house provided chairs and towels to use use on the beach.

Location to the beach was great. Beds were very comfortable.
5.0
Our stay was great! The property is really nice and is in a great location to a lot of the bars and restaurants near there as well as the beach. Amenities were great and tons of bedrooms if you have a larger group. The property though is 2 separate units which I feel like wasn’t incredibly advertised? It’s still private, just a less nice downstairs unit, with a separate entrance to the main area upstairs with the wide open spaces which is great for hosting. So as long as you’re good with that, and you want a more substantial but also luxury spot on the beach then this is a fantastic option!
5.0
It is all as stated in the listing. Marco answered all our questions quickly. I would prefer a place with a heated pool. The floors are only connected outside so that is definitely an inconvenience. The top two floors were somewhat updated. And the ocean view were beautiful! The lower floor needs a lot of attention. Water pressure is low. Just expect that. We were 11 people and we all had our own space. Of all, we enjoyed our time there!
5.0
Directly on beach with glass windows in house that allow you a fantastic view of the ocean. House is perfect for 2 families traveling together as downstairs is separate from top floor with their own entrances and own kitchen! Ample parking dedicated to the property and walking distance from shops, restaurants and parks!!!
5.0
This was a great location both for the beach and local hot spots (within walking distance). Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Well stocked kitchens (yes two) for cooking and celebrating with the fam.

We again brought our three adult children and their children for a week of family fun at Jacksonville Beach (15 total). Once again we found the house was furnished with pool and beach toys , plenty of linens, and everything you needed in the kitchen. ( We did take some plastic cups for our younger grandchildren )/ We enjoyed grilling out as well as walking to several of the local restaurants nearby. The large bedrooms with connecting bathrooms for all gave us plenty of privacy and room to spread out at night. We loved the new pool furniture and the numerous umbrellas that were available to put around the pool during the day,
Our host was very responsive to our needs but actually the house had very clear directions for garage and recycle pickup as well we check-out responsibilities and other needs .
We will definitely return here in the future.. We can't stay away from the many views that this house provides very long.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It’s in the perfect location and has Amazing views of the beach. Enjoyed watching the sun come up from the balcony. Family enjoyed hanging by the pool and spending time together.

Great for large group!
Stay was great! We had a large group of adults and had plenty of space to enjoy and not feel cramped. It feels like you get two houses! One is downstairs with each access to the pool and the second (main house) is up the second flight. At first it was strange layout but actually was really awesome and worked perfectly for us! Short walk to the bars and close to Publix! Great location.
5.0
Awesome clean home, plenty of space, and great location!!
We booked this house over one year in advance. It was the perfect location, size for our family and friends. We had 10 adults and 2 children stay for 6 nights. Plenty of room for adults to have quiet time while kids played. The views are the best on the beach and within a minute you were on the beach. Marco was an awesome host and replied promptly to any queries I had before and during our stay. I highly recommend this house. Everyone had a great time and would like to return someday. Thanks Marco for a great/clean place to stay! Harriet
