Very clean and well equipped including snacks, coffee and all anyone needs.We felt very much at home and will try to book this nice little cottage again on our next Jacksonville trip.Suggestion to Hostess:Suggest you review and modify the sprinkler system so it does not spray well water on the car, leaving hard water spots. The mostly dirt parking area and yard walkway to cottage tracks dirt to the cottage and to the car. Suggest improved in that area. The cottage is delightful!

Not as close to Mayo Clinic as we expected. Host made every effort to make our stay pleasant. Only complaint is The car park area is under a sprinkler that leaves stains on the car and requires guests to walk through the dirt to access the pleasant little dwelling.

Enjoyed our stay in this delightful cottage! Though small, it was very cozy and charming. Easiest way of finding it is to look for the white fence next door. Easy access to Jax and Amelia Island. Use the ferry (7) to save time to Amelia Island. Would definitely stay there again!

The cutest little guest house was so cozy and had lovely views of the water. The host provided gifts of wine and biscotti. There was plenty of bottled water. Coffee creamer was brand new. She went above the normal amenities we previously have received with rentals. Loved the location as it was in between the beaches and downtown. Would love to return sometime.

Great little gem and so private

Nice cozy spot for two. We travel with a lot of our own food so having a full kitchen was a major bonus. Comfy bed and all we needed. Beautiful location and nice evening sitting outside with our pups. Gracious attentive host always available for any questions. We will be back!

A slice of paradise

We have stayed at "Little Paradise"for several years.The owner is always doing something creative.The outside porch is wonderful for relaxing and looking out at the water. If you want to sit close to the water or fish the dock is not far.You will not find another gem like this

Awesome stay

Property was very clean, comfortable and above all cozy. Loved everything about this heavenly cottage. Safe and secure for a mature lady visiting on her own or any professional looking for their home away from home. My stay was idyllic and I am hoping to book again in the future. Deborah was a wonderful hostess and made sure I was safe and secure.

Perfect Getaway!

Adorable, quaint cottage decorated with such thoughtfulness and creativity. We were greeted with snacks, wine, sparkling water, and a fridge full of bottled water. We had everything we needed for our weekend away. The hostess was quick to respond to any questions and recommended great places for shopping and dining. We will definitely visit again if we are in Jacksonville in the future.
