Charming 18th century home

Truly enjoyed our stay in this charming & cozy home from the 18th century. Love the unique furniture and decor. Very clean and great location for us as it was close to 285. The grocery store is only a three minute drive from the house. Would definitely stay again.

Close to Wedding Venue

We selected this VRBO because it was just minutes from the venue for my son’s wedding. The host was excellent—communicative, gracious, and incredibly understanding. We experienced several unexpected changes due to health issues within our family, and the host remained flexible and supportive throughout. We’re so grateful for their kindness during such an important and hectic time.

Buddies golf trip

We were a group of 6 buddies in our mid 60’s that rented the main house as well as the guest house for a golf trip to escape the Northeast winter. Both properties were well kept and immaculately clean and in close proximity to golf courses as well as restaurants. The outdoor space is outstanding with multiple locations to sit outside and enjoy the day or evening. Lori was responsive to any questions we had throughout the stay and went to great lengths to recover a lost cell phone and express mail it back to him. Would highly recommend either property to anyone interested in them singly or together.

Family weekend

We traveled to Jacksonville for a monthly family gathering, which typically includes 14 people. The house was the perfect size as it offered six bedrooms and lots of square footage for everyone to move about. We spent most of our time on the outside deck which wraps around almost the entire house. Everything that you could possibly need for a great stay was at your fingertips. From forks and spoons to pots and pans, towels, blankets, and everything in between could easily be found, thanks to our hostess Laurie for offering such a beautiful and historic venue for us to enjoy.

Beautiful Home Perfect for Reunion

Home is as pictured. Lori prompt in responses. Parking is an issue if you have four vehicles that are large, but we managed - just have to move vehicles on occasion to get out and around. It was perfect for five sisters and three spouses to reunite and have a fun-filled week. Lori shared a bit of the home’s history with us which was most interesting. I highly recommend booking.
