About this house rental
This property has just had a complete interior and exterior renovation adding modern conveniences while keeping the classic charm. The landscaping was just completed in October 2020 and a bocce ball court, putting green. You'll also find a flagstone patio with a gas fire pit and BBQ surrounded by Adirondack chairs where you can roast hot dogs and marshmallows. The space A quirky 1942 classic home with all the modern conveniences is just steps from the beach in a quiet neighborhood. It's close to world class golfing, surfing, parasailing, kayaking, fishing, the convention center, and so much more. My family has owned this property since 1964, and I've had a wonderful time restoring and upgrading it since 2019. This house holds many family memories and is located on a beach that I dream about often! I'm so happy to share this place with others and still keep it in the family. Southern charm and contemporary colors have really brought this house back to life. It has beachy kitchen with butcher block countertops, glass tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen and downstairs bedroom have tongue and groove solid wood walls and ceilings that my grandfather installed. Off the downstairs bedroom there is a washer and dryer, detergent is provided free of charge, and an iron and ironing board is also available. The kitchen is fully stocked with Keurig, French press, coffee grinder, toaster, microwave, toaster oven, Ninja blender, rice cooker, waffle maker, coffee and selection of teas, full set of cookware and bakeware, and so much more. It also includes the basic cooking necessities, e.g., oil, pepper, spices, condiments. It also includes outdoor plates and cups to take to the rooftop deck to enjoy a great meal alfresco. The property has UHD 4K smart TV in the living room, sunroom, and two of the bedrooms, with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, and Disney+ streaming services. It also has a google home, and google mesh WIFI system for a reliable signal throughout the home. Downstairs features a living room with a large sofa, kitchen with dining table with 4 chairs and a bench, and bedroom with a queen bed, 40" TV with a laundry room, and a bathroom with tub and shower combo. Head upstairs and you'll find recently refinished original heart pine floors, bead board walls, and original wood ceilings, the charm of this house shines with all the windows upstairs! The second floor features two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other a full bed, and a bathroom with shower. In addition, the upstairs has a second living area we call the sunroom with its 12 windows, wonderful ocean view, a sleeper sofa that can hold 2 more people comfortably, another 43" TV, a papasan chair for relaxing or reading a book, a small desk and printer if you need to get any work done and a game table with a variety of board games. Finally, head out into the hallway and go up to the large 20' x 16' roof top deck that overlooks the ocean where you'll find a great area for sun bathing, relaxing, dining, and relax and soak up the Florida sun in a hammock fit for 2. The landscaping was just completed in October 2020 and a bocce ball court, putting green. You'll also find a flagstone patio with a gas fire pit and BBQ surrounded by Adirondack chairs where you can roast hot dogs and marshmallows. We have chairs, toys, and towels specifically for the beach as well as fishing poles. An outside shower is available at the house so you can rinse off and feel more comfortable. There are also outside stairs to take straight up to the deck to catch the last rays. Spectacular sunrises greet you on your morning visit to the beach for coffee or stroll and occasionally the dolphins will meet you there. It is known for the flat open beach which makes it great for hanging out at the beach; walking or running, beachcombing and riding beach cruiser bicycles. Playing in the sand and surf is a great way to spend your days, but the fun doesn't stop there! Since the cottage is at the heart of Jax Beach, you can walk to all the events and festivals within a few minutes without worrying about finding or paying any parking.

St Augustine, ‘The Nation’s Oldest City', is less than 15 miles away and offers many fun and interesting tourist features, an alligator farm, the Fountain of Youth and Premium Outlet malls. Don't forget to bring your golf clubs. Home of THE PLAYERS Championship, birthplace of the TPC Network, and backdrop to the PGA TOUR headquarters, the TPC Sawgrass golf course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., 5 miles away, is perhaps the world’s most famous golf course. THE PLAYERS Stadium Course sports one of the most recognizable and challenging holes on the PGA TOUR.

You need to accept that this house was built in the 1950's and updated a few times since. The wooden floors on the 2nd floor creak, the height of the ceiling on first floor is probably 6'3 but it oozes character and you are right across the street from the beach. I used to live a few blocks north so I knew the house. If you want a peaceful quiet stretch of beach this is the best location for all of Jax Beach. If you want noisy, go to the heart of Jax Bch, quiet you come here. Jacky was great and quite proud of talking about her grandfather who owned the house and now is in the hands of Jacky and her mother.

FYI inside set of stairs is steep, not suitable for young children or elderly. Upper level bedrooms are lovely and access the deck which is exactly as pictured.

We came for a wedding and the house worked out perfectly. Beach access is very close and a nice surprise were the beach chairs at the house!
Would stay again and hoping to be back soon

We actually live in Jax but wanted somewhere near the beach when my in laws were visiting. The proximity to the beach was so nice! We could eat breakfast, go to the beach, come back for lunch, and head back to the beach again. It was very convenient. There were board games, a putting green, cornhole, and yard games available that kept our 6 year old entertained between beach trips, too. We would definitely rent again!

The house had so much character! It was clean and comfy. Great location near the beach. The host has so many things available for entertainment, bikes, washers, etc . Out door games and beach stuff. I didn’t use any of it bc I was there for a wedding shower.

Communication with the manager of the unit was great. We had a few issues and she got back to us promptly, and we really appreciated that. The house was a bit smaller than we expected (we have some tall people whose heads almost touched the ceilings lol), but it wasn’t too much of a hurdle.
Just a short walk to the beach, and we really loved using the shower right outside to wash off the sand before going inside!

First communicating with Susan was a pleasure and she was very accommodating. The house is a adorable 1950’s beach house with all it twists and turns. It has been updated and boasts a brand new fridge. The neighborhood is pretty with new homes cropping up between the old. The best part is its a half block to the beach. We loved sitting on the deck having a cocktail and enjoying the beach breeze.

Pictures are a bit deceiving. Low ceilings downstairs in kitchen. House was decorated nicely, the individual A/C units are a plus for the rooms.

This is a nice beach cottage. It is close to beach access, has a nice decor and is well stocked. Almost any non-perishable item you will need for your beach vacation is here. The only down side is space is limited here. The rooms are small, the yard is tiny and there is little privacy from neighbors. That's not a problem if you spend most of your time at the beach or out and about exploring the First Coast. I would come again, but without the dog and the cat.

Very small. Pictures are misleading. Construction in all directions. All AC units failed and while temporary ones were delivered, they did not cool the house. Ended up having to leave early as we just couldn't handle the heat.

We enjoyed our stay. There are some steep steps to the upstairs if you have elderly they may need to stay downstairs. We loved the 2 living areas. This place is well equipped do not bring beach chairs there are enough beach chairs and beach towels for everyone! There was also some buggy boards. The S’mores station was so cute we didn’t get a chance to use it. We loved this place! The kitchen has everything you need. Finally a VRBO with enough towels, toilet tissue, paper towels, and also washing pods. Yes there are some portable AC units but we didn’t need them and we were all comfortable with the separate units you could dial up or dial down. We will definitely stay again!

Location is great property is below what was advertised, exp"
1. yard and concreate area was covered with weeds and debris, 2. upstairs keypad entry door was stuck and took two people to get it open, 3. BBQ was rusted out and was not able to be used., 3. some doors inside could not be closed because of being wrapped or building structure settling, 4. down stairs toilet had to be fixed by me twice to get it to operate, called owner and they did come out within a few hours and corrected. 5. two portable AC units were not vented to the exterior so as much cooling they put out the exhaust heat made them useless, 6. The majority of the exterior lighting did not work, 7. parking area had a 1.5-2ft drop down making it very dangerous in parking 2 cars side by side and some one stepping off and getting hurt.8. Needs to be sprayed for spiders my wife was bit in the down stairs BR and her finger turned black but did not have to go to the doctor.9. wood paneling and based boards are coming off the walls
If your looking for rustic and close to beach this is it, the house has potential to be a great location steps from beach but needs a lot more work to make it worth staying there again for me. I would not recomend this place.

Beautiful little house just steps away from the beach. Susan, the owner, has decorated the house perfectly and she thought of every detail needed when staying away from home and on the beach. We were 6 ppl, 3 adults, 3 children and we were all very comfortable. The house has 2 areas (one upstairs and one downstairs where guests can sit comfortably to just chat or watch a movie after a relaxing day at the beach, as we did. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby, grocery stores and a Target as well. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and the beach is almost all yours. Highly recommend!
