The cottage is pretty and neat, with a great over over the water, lots of birds and widllife. It is close to everything, the beaches a ten min. drive. The only nagtive thing is the highway which is closeby and rather noisy.
6.0
We unfortunately were not able to enjoy the fishing as the neighbors were using the docks and the trees had overgrown off the deck of home. Plan ahead to bring your own kayak, or have an alternative fishing location if a private fishing getaway is what you want. The view is gorgeous just noisy with traffic and road sounds very near.
Additionally, the listing mentioned there was a washer dryer however there is not. While there are some towels at the property you may consider bringing more clothing, your own spare sheets or towels if used to changing them during your stay.
The space is made functional with sliding doors and small furniture but if you are over 6ft be prepared the couch, dinning stools, and bed are on the smaller side.
Checking in was seamless, however, the property listing mentioned you could contact the owner for late checkout and we learned this is not always the case. While the app indicated the property was available the owner would not allow us to extend our stay or have late checkout due to family needs of the space. We started having people walking around looking in windows and sending us messages about turning off the air hours before our checkout.

Everything needed (plates, cup and even spices) for our stay was in the cottage. It was right on the river under the oak trees. Very nice location close to shops and food. The place was extremely clean.

What a wonderful stay. The deck is right on water. The ever changing tide. The birds! Osprey, Great Blue Herons, Little Blue Herons, Little Green Heron, Tri-color Heron, White Ibises, Great Egret, Little Egret, Hooded Mergansers, Comorants and Pelican shows. And dolphins! We got to watch the mullet fishers. The cottage has everything you need. Jeff was quick to respond and very helpful.

We enjoyed our stay. We fished off the deck and caught some great fish abd even 2 blue crabs. Seeing all the birds at low tide was great. The cottage was very clean and a nice location. Close by many places. Definitely recommend this cottage if you like to fish. Loved sitting on the deck and just enjoying the beauty of the marsh!

Wife and I were wanting to get away where we could just relax and I could fish…which is exactly what we did.
Caught seven different species, including black drum, redfish and mangrove snapper.
We’d come back in a heartbeat.

Amazed by the incredible marsh view from deck. Have camera in hand as tide comes in/recedes for birds feeding. A real treat! Cottage private, cozy and clean without all the allergy inducing coverups of some rentals. Needs posted check in info for appliances/tv use, etc. Girvin Rd fairly noisy, but overall would definitely recommend this rental.

My husband and I wanted a nice peaceful weekend getaway with a view. This was definitely the spot for it. The cottage was very clean and nicely decorated. The view is beautiful. This was our first time staying here but will not be our last.

I repeatedly say that the Cottage was just perfect!
From the peaceful deck view of the landscape, to the full amenities, there was nothing lacking. Super clean, and a great location. Just bring your toiletries and snacks, and sit back for a relaxing break. I would definitely visit again!

Had a great weekend at this perfect spot. The view was stellar and the home was cozy and comfortable. Jeff is a great host that gave us information about the area making the trip even better. He let us know about the space x launch and we had a perfect view from the deck! Highly recommend for couples looking for peace, quite and relaxation!!!

We came here for our beach wedding and wanted a lovely area to stay and rest. Jeff was wonderful with communication and working with us on our schedule. Lovely area, we felt safe and comfortable. The view was so pretty and the beds comfortable, Internet was no issue and plenty of daily items available like towels. We hope to return here soon and will definitely try to reserve again.

If you arw about the views this is your
spot! Gorgeous! Peaceful and quiet considering how close you are to everything. Jeff was a very gracious host.

Jeff is an amazing host and made sure that the check in process went smooth. He even remembered that we were bringing our boat and sent maps of boat ramps prior to our arrival. The property was quiet, clean, and so beautiful over looking the water. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It was just large enough for two people and Jeff thought of everything you may need during your stay. 10 out of 10 recommend.

The pictures don’t do this property justice. If you want peace and relaxation, this is it. My fiancé and I spent 4 days enjoying life away from alarm clocks and overtime. We left a guestbook for future vacationers.

My husband and I stayed here while going to the Mayo Clinic. It was clean, cute, and quaint and very well decorated. It was close to the Mayo Clinic, and the view was amazing. The access to the dock was great for fishing. It was cozy and relaxing and just what we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

Jeff's waterfront cottage was everything we were looking for. It was clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and very relaxing. We enjoyed having coffee on the deck photographing the wildlife. There were Great Egrets, Little Blue and Tricolored Herons, Double-crested Cormorants and Clapper Rails fishing in the shallows, while Ospreys, Bald Eagels and Red-shouldered Hawks patrolled the skys. We were delighted to see a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Red-bellied Woodpecker and several song birds hanging out in the tree beside the deck. There were also White Ibis in the front yard and funny little Fiddler Crabs running around at low tide.
5.0
Jeff was amazing from start to finish. Not only did he let us arrive early, he was genuinely happy to have us. The fishing was a superb. We brought our kayaks and fished all the little nooks and crannies. We also fished from the little peninsula and the dock. We caught redfish, croaker, whiting, stingrays, toadfish, and a butt load of black drum. Jeff suggested a great neighborhood bait shop a stones throw from the house. The location of the property is within a manageable distance of so many places. Seemed like the whole of Jacksonville was less the 20 minutes away at any given time. The photos of the property are 100% accurate, and my god sitting on the couch looking out over the marsh is gorgeous! We would (and hope to) absolutely stay there again on our trips down to Jax. Book this property, just book it. It’s cheaper than a hotel with a much better view.
5.0
What a wonderful spot for us to stay while visiting family. Great location for your Atlantic Beach base camp - with intracoastal access & only few minutes from the ferry/beaches, this private cottage has everything we look for in a getaway stay. A+!

I rented this place for a three night weekend for me and the wife. She had to study for a state board on the following Monday uninterrupted. So I took the boat tied off to the floating dock on property after launching at the boat ramp that was a 10min drive from the house. I fished during the day while she studied. Needless to say this place delivered I caught some great fish and the wife passed her test🎉🎉. The host Jeff was spectacular and very flexible even with the approaching storm that weekend.
**wish I could post pictures of the fish I pulled out of that creek**

We fell in love with the deck and spent most of our time out there. The place is so quaint and relaxing. The traffic noise at times was loud but didn't last long. We loved our trip and plan on going back again. Great place to do nothing but relax, enjoy and catch up with friends and family.

Every now & then you do something that turns out just great and wonderful, picking Jeff’s cottage was one of those things. The size was just the best for a couple. The kitchen, bed and back deck was super, the backwater and the wildlife were the icing on the cake. If you are looking for a wild and crazy party place, then this is not for you. Drink your beverage of choice on the deck and watch the marsh crabs, fish, ducks and other critters in a peaceful setting, and the fishing wasn’t bad either. We hope to be back in the fall. Take a break and visit Jeff’s cottage, you won’t regret it. Take a left down the road a couple of miles, there is a grocery, drug store and places to eat other than fast food. Jeff is about as laid back as you would expect a true Southern Gentleman to be and a great host.
