Feelin Beachy

Loved the layout and the decor of the house. We took a mini vacay to go a see a concert at Veteran’s arena on Friday and then enjoyed Jax Beach Saturday-Sunday. The house offered great amenities (pool, full laundry room, grill, and parking) and helpful resources (wagon for beach, cruisers, beach chairs, and towels). Would happily re-book this beautiful home.

Great house, great host

The house and pool were just as described. The pool has a ledge that makes it very swim-able for littles. Very clean house with everything you need, located near the beach. Sarah was very responsive as a host and check in/out instructions were super easy.

Perfect Spring Break with kids

We stayed here with my family of 4 plus my dad, who had his own room with an attached bathroom. The kids couldn’t get enough of the pool and all toys/floaties that were available in the garage. We were close to tons of kid friendly restaurants as well as the beach. The house was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed for the week.

Great location and property

Overall great stay, although the Florida weather was fickle! House was located within walking distance to restaurants, coffee, and the beach/pier area. House was cozy and comfortable. Bikes and beach chairs came in handy. We didn't use the pool, but the dogs appreciated the fenced outside space. Sarah was a wonderful host, with some thoughtful welcome gifts and snacks. So nice to have coffee for day one! We would definitely recommend this home to anyone.

Home for the holidays

This was our first family Christmas gathering in a vacation rental, and it could not have been better! I will echo the many reviews before ours - Sarah‘s home is lovingly cared for, immaculate, bright and cheery, and very comfortable. It’s clear that Sarah wants her guests to feel at home and enjoy their stay, and she is attentive to many details in that way. She also is as gracious, kind, and responsive as a host could be. We would not hesitate to recommend her home or return again.

Great Family Getaway

House was great for our family of four! It was spotless and had everything we could need. We only used it one morning but the pool lovely and huge. All of the beds were comfy. Only complaint is the water pressure isn't great so it takes a long while for the hot water to hit the faucets/showers. But other than that, everything was perfect.

Totally Awesome

From making the reservations to checking out was a great experience. Sarah was a stellar host! I went for surgery and treatments at the Mayo clinic which I shared with her prior to arriving. While we were there, hurricane Helena was approaching so she brought supplies of water, snacks, flashlights and food, to help out. She also brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers that brightened my weeks of medical procedures. The place is very well equipped plus some and was spotless. Beds were comfortable and decor was subtle and relaxing. Communication was perfect and enjoyable. The bikes and pool were great to have to get around. Location is perfect as was every little detail. This is an absolutely perfect place to stay! Thank you for everything Sarah! I will be returning for more care and hope and pray this is available. I can not say enough about the experience!

Beautiful Home!

I stayed in this home for a business trip to the Jacksonville area. I was very impressed with how well appointed and clean everything was. The backyard was fenced so my dog could run around, and the pool was beautiful and a real treat to come home to. The front MB was perfectly appointed for a great night of rest with and very comfortable bed and private bath. Would definately return and stay in this home again.
