We bought this home as a winter getaway from Michigan, but we don't get to use it as much as we wish we could, so we'd like to share it with you! I guess our loss is your gain! It's not fancy, just a nice, comfortable house, with a brand new heated pool, in a quiet neighborhood in a great city! We hope you enjoy it. - Jordan



Are you looking for something unique yet reasonably priced that is comfortable and has lots of amenities? We've got you covered.

There's plenty of room inside and plenty of space in the awesome backyard with a pool and children's playsets. So, it's a great home for a family or snowbirds!



The home is close to everything in Jacksonville and the surrounding area.



If you see something new, yes, we freed up what had been private storage, and wow, there's now a whole other bedroom. So much more room now. Up to 10 as long as at least 2-4 are kid sixed!



The master bedroom has a queen bed and an ensuite bathroom

The other bathroom is for the rest of the house

There are now three other bedrooms. One with a double bed, one kids' room with a 2-twin bunk bed, and a large room with 2 beds (queen and sofa sleeper)



The highlight of the space is the newly remodeled, heated pool. If you look at the photos you'll notice that it has a nice safe fence around it, but no screen over it, and you'll see trees. Our pool service comes once a week, but trees lose leaves every day. So, please note that you may need to use the brush and skimmer if you want to remove the leaves. This is not a resort. This is a private home, and if we were there, we would have to do the same thing. If you are expecting a no-maintenance pool experience, you should stay at a resort or hotel.



We price based on how many are staying in the home. This is calculated during checkout, so it is important that you enter the right number of guests.



Please note, we allow up to 10 guests, but we recommend no more than 6 adults because the bunk bed and the sleeper sofa are not intended for adult-sized people.



Please read the House Rules. They are an easy-to-read summary of the rental agreement that outlines information applicable to all guests. We will also send you a copy and ask that you download it and share it with all other guests.



Once your booking is complete, please be aware that we require additional steps to complete your reservation of this property. You will receive a link to our Guest portal with the Rental Agreement and Security Deposit arrangements. A government-issued ID will be required to verify that the card used for the security deposit belongs to you. You will also have the opportunity to reserve certain optional services offline. We call these Add Ons.



"Add ons" include requesting things like: a late checkout, a cleaning by our housekeeper during your stay, electric heat for the pool, etc. You let us know on the portal, and we'll arrange payment separately.



We have purchased Damage Protection Coverage on your behalf. This policy covers the first $1500 worth of accidental damage. It excludes damage by unregistered pets, and linens. Please let us know right away if anything happens. You would remain responsible for anything beyond this coverage. Please note, while booking, you may be offered a 'trip interruption' policy. It's not a damage policy, but may be a good purchase if you are worried about events that might lead to cancellation. We especially recommend it to all of our long-term guests because of the alternate cancellation policy for long-term stays.



For long-term stays during the months of January - April we have a specific cancellation policy. The first 30 days is the deposit. It is due at booking and is non-refundable. The remaining dates are refundable until 60 days before check-in. To reiterate, we recommend that anyone considering a long-term stay purchase a trip interruption insurance policy. Ask, and we can refer you.



We have a space that is great for entertaining, but we must observe a balance. Because of issues with parties and disruptive events, many guests and even hosts have been removed from certain booking platforms. We're in agreement with that. If you want to invite extra people over, or plan a party or event that would be disruptive to the neighborhood - we're sorry, please look elsewhere. We aren't interested in alienating our neighbors or having our listing suspended for you.



There are security cameras on the front door and rear doors. They are for your protection and ours. None are installed indoors or aimed at inside areas. We had to install the cameras, not for burglars but because we've had guest counts that exceeded what was reserved. There really is not enough space for more than 8-10 to be comfortable.



And then there are pets. Our owner's daughter has severe allergies, so we can't allow any pets. Please don't try to sneak any in.
