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.

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

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.

The best bed ever.

This is the sweetest cute little cottage, Deborah outdid herself on making us feel very comfy. The bed is wonderful, now I want a new bed. (lol) She had different flavors of coffee for us which was very sweet of her. We will be back.

Awesome place to stay! The only issue we had was that the water smelled very bad anytime we ran the water. We were afraid to drink and only used bottled water.

Perfect location

This is a great place to stay for whatever brings you to Jacksonville. Centrally located, this cottage was perfect for the two of us. The pictures accurately depict the property but it’s actually better; there is a full size oven and stove, and the property was completely private, despite its description as a backyard bungalow. We would gladly stay here again. The owner even provided a little New Years champagne!

Cottage delight

We loved this rental! It was perfect for my husband and myself! It was very clean and decorated very nicely……cozy and so relaxing…… Deborah was great ….. she had snacks, bottle water and fresh flowers and a bottle of wine waiting for us!! She responded usually within a few minutes if we had questions!!! I was looking forward to enjoying the peaceful quietness of the patio each morning but unfortunately the rain didn’t cooperate! We would highly recommend this rental and Deborah was great!

Amazing little cottage tucked away with complete privacy!

My stay was perfect. The cottage is about 12 minutes from Mayo Clinic and the beach. Lovely, secluded setting with secure off street parking. Everything you could ever need or want! The outdoor pergola is just dreamlike - it doubles the little space in good weather. Already booked my next stay! Wonderful, responsive host!

A little bit of paradise

Deborah was a wonderful host. Lots of privacy. Everything was clean and neat. Appointed beautifully with lots of special touches. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable queen bed. Cozy but it doesn’t feel that way because of the outside areas and views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
