This stunning and contemporary property is nestled in a serene neighborhood and is just a short stroll from the beach. It`s the perfect spot for those who enjoy golfing, surfing, parasailing, kayaking, fishing, and attending events at the nearby convention center. The nearby beach is absolutely breathtaking, and I often find myself daydreaming about it.

The inviting kitchen is adorned with stone countertops and gleaming stainless steel appliances. It is also fully stocked with a coffee maker, French press, coffee grinder, toaster, microwave, blender, cookware, bakeware, and more. You`ll find all the essential cooking staples such as oil, pepper, spices, and condiments already provided for your convenience.

This quiet neighborhood is between the Jax Beach golf course and the ocean. The neighborhood is relaxed and quiet. People love taking walks, jogging, riding bikes, scooters, and golf carts. Since our neighborhood is mostly residential we do not host large parties and events at this location.

But it is the beach, and you can enjoy cookouts with friends and dinners outdoors until late at night! We are glad if our guests are having a good time with family and friends and we are not worried about happy noise.

The house has 3 parking spots available in front of the property on the cement driveway. There is additional parking around the corner that is first come, first serve. We supply bicycles and helmets to roam around the area. You can rent a street legal golf cart to get around that can be delivered to the house. Our neighborhood is a residential beach community. Not much traffic, walkable and great for bike riding.

If you enjoy walking, there are several good coffee spots on 3rd Ave just a few minutes away. A few blocks south you will find some Restaurants (Tulua Bistro is a favorite breakfast spot within walking distance, (10 min) . Grocery shopping is a few minutes by car at Publix at Beach Blvd and 4th.

Playing in the sand and surf is a great way to spend your days, but the fun doesn`t stop there!

Many shops and restaurants, featuring local artists and top chefs are within a short walk. Jax Beach Amphitheater hosts many spring and summer festivals featuring well known jazz and blues artists.

Jacksonville Beach is a fun filled beach community close to many attractions in sunny/warm Florida. Jacksonville Beach Pier, Adventure Landing, Kathryn Hannah State Park and Mayport Naval Station are nearby. Mayport, an original fish camp, is famous for its Mayport shrimp caught fresh daily.

Mayo Clinic/Hospital is only 10-15 minutes away. St Augustine, ‘The Nation’s Oldest City`, is less than 15 miles away and offers many fun and interesting tourist features, an alligator farm, the Fountain of Youth and Premium Outlet malls.

Don`t forget to bring your golf clubs. Home of THE PLAYERS Championship, birthplace of the TPC Network, and backdrop to the PGA TOUR headquarters, the TPC Sawgrass golf course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., 5 miles away, is perhaps the world’s most famous golf course. THE PLAYERS Stadium Course sports one of the most recognizable and challenging holes on the PGA TOUR. The notorious par-3, 17th hole, features an island green that makes or breaks many a PGA TOUR pro’s round.

Overall, this is a great property in an excellent location. We have family in Jacksonville we visit about once per year. This is the first time we used a VRBO rental in Jax since we were staying for 2 weeks. After this trip I only want to stay in the Jax Beach area because it has everything close by and this property is very well located to enjoy it all. Minor issues were that the A/C system went out, but that was fixed within 24 hours and the host had a portable a/c on site so we didn't suffer much. Also, we had our 2 dogs with us and there was a constant stream of cats visiting the yard, so that added some stress to the trip. Overall the house is great with only a few maintenance items noted. I would recommend this house for other travelers and would definitely stay here again.

Great location, close to the beach and shopping area. Very easy to find. Clean home equipped with everything you need. Beds were comfortable. Fenced in back area for pets. I would not suggest leaving out pet food for more than 15 minutes due to ants. I lived in Jacksonville for many years and can tell you that ants are pretty much everywhere you go. I did notice there were ant baits provided in the home to help with this which was nice.

I have stayed in many rentals and this one was very disappointing. Especially since they require a non-refundable insurance fee or a 3000 deposit. The place was not very clean, as though it hadn't bee clean in a while. Towels were covered with liquid hand soap from the bottles in the closet. There were no hand towels at all in the house. The beds were very uncomfortable, with cheap flat pillows. The tub was clogged and held standing water up to our ankles when showering. There were dishes still washing in the dishwasher when we arrived which was after check-in time. The kitchen was not well stocked for a vacation rental. What was most disappointing was that I had messaged the host prior about having propane there which I was assured there was. 3 of the 4 tanks were empty. We had planned to grill steaks on night 1 and had to transfer tanks which meant not having a fire. I messaged the host regarding this with no response. I also messaged the in town contact, Jacky, who asked for a picture and then never responded. If anything I feel they should not charge the insurance fee and I should get that refunded for the inconveniences.

Great location, convenient to the Mayo Clinic and the beach. Nice backyard with a fire pit. Easy check-in with keyless entry. Loved the decoration but somethings are worn and not as nice in person as the pictures. Beds were decent but pillows are not comfortable and neither is the couch. The kitchen had all the essentials. There was plenty of extra paper products and trash bags but only one towel was left in the linen closet for 2 people staying 5 days. We ended up getting a few cheap ones from Target to be able to shower. Overall a good stay.

Two night weekend at the beach.

Brought both of our two year old Doberman dags to the beach for the weekend. Jax beach was a short 10 to 15 minute walk with the dogs in the evening. Then mext day we drove up to Amelia island and beached all day. The house was close enoigh to the beach but depending on daily traffic, crossing the main A1a street may be struggle with cross walks few and far between. The neighborhood was clean and quiet and the hoise was perfect. Would have been big enough if wed have brought 4 more people. The oitdoor area and backyard was perfect to hang out and let the dogs run and explore the plants.
