High Tide is the upstairs two-bedroom, and it`s the one with the balcony. It sits on the second floor of a restored old beach house one short block from the Atlantic — about a hundred yards, call it a two-minute walk with a towel over your shoulder.

Both bedrooms have a queen with a memory foam mattress, cotton linens, a choice of firm or soft pillows, and a sound machine. There`s a full bath plus a half bath, which is what keeps four people moving in the morning. The living space, kitchen and breakfast bar are all open to each other, so whoever is cooking is still part of the conversation.

The kitchen has everything you need to eat in rather than out every night — full dishes and cookware, a Keurig with pods, tea, sugar, olive oil, salt and pepper, and a blender. Washer and dryer are in the unit, so a week`s trip needs one bag. Beach towels and chairs are provided. The WiFi is fast, which matters if someone in the group is working while everyone else is at the beach.

Keyless check-in on your own schedule, one dedicated parking space, and easy free street parking. You will have access to all the house and can use its amenities. Deck outside is also yours! Beach is just 2 min away.

Guest interaction will be on a need be basis. We are local, and can be reached if needed, but want to respect your privacy.

Most people drive here, and every unit comes with one dedicated parking space on the property (every spot is labeled). Street parking in the neighborhood is free and easy if you bring a second car.

When you`d rather not drive, download the Beach Buggy app from Google Play or the App Store — free rides around the beaches, and the local way to get to dinner or home from a night out. Uber and Lyft both run reliably here as well.

Driving times worth knowing: Publix 2 minutes, Beaches Town Center 5, Jacksonville Beach Golf Club 8, Mayo Clinic 10, TPC Sawgrass 17, downtown Jacksonville about 32, and Jacksonville International Airport about 40.

This building has stood a block from the Atlantic for a long time, and we`ve kept its character rather than gutting it — so you`ll find original details, a floor that isn`t perfectly level, and the small quirks that come with an older beach building. Everything works, everything is spotless, and the beds are genuinely comfortable. But it`s a well-loved older building rather than new construction, and sound travels the way it does in older buildings. Heron sits on the ground floor with a rental unit above it, so you`ll hear footsteps overhead now and then.

If you`re after brand-new finishes and total silence, this probably isn`t your match. If you want an honest Jax Beach place you can walk out of and be in the ocean two minutes later, you`ll be very happy here.
