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!

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 May 2026
Mayo is 10 away. When guests are there S Sprinkler is never on and we have some heads that are not working at the present time so it’s out of order. Maybe it was my neighbors going over the fence Not sure how it could get through the hedge we did have some rainy nights.

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!

Our VRBO was very clean quaint and quiet if you needed it, it was there and in good working order. Shower was awesome two heads great pressure. I had a question about the freezer in the refrigerator being iced just to make sure our history knew we hadn’t left the door open. She immediately addressed the freezer and assured me it would be fine. The entire place inside and out was well maintained with a beautiful view of the water. My wife asked if we couldJust move in!!! Highly recommend !! The reason for our stay was my wife had a procedure done at Mayo. Easy 15 minuet drive!! Hats off to our host. You have a wonderful place!!

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.
