About this property

Oceanfront Beachdrifter - 2/2 Condo with lawn - no stairs, best parking

This is one of two oceanfront ground floor condos at The Beachdrifter which open to a lawn, pool, pergola and, of course, the beach, which is just over the dunes. We love our condos (VRBO # 1899645 and # 1125777) here because they are on the beach and we don't need to go up and down stairs or wait for a cramped, hot elevator. Our parking spots are closest to the doors and these condos open to the lawn.

Please note: to protect the community from damaging hurricanes, the city of Jacksonville Beach has built higher dunes, which still allow you to hear the crashing surf and see some ocean, but we can no longer see the waves break on the beach. We still love the convenience of parking next to the door (the closest spot) and walking right into the condo.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a king bed, two twins, and a full sofa sleeper, and everything you need for a vacation at the beach. We keep sand castle gear, beach chairs, beach towels, a sun umbrella, etc. And we can provide a pack-and-play upon request for your little ones.

We also have fast wi-fi, streaming TVs, an Apple computer with 27-inch display, and more.

We accept dogs on a case-by-case basis for $29 per pet per night. And we have a short pet agreement for you to sign. Please note that the building does not allow pets to enter the common lawn and pool area and our building recently enacted a 50-pound size limit on dogs.

Our condo is located in the heart of Jacksonville Beach, one of Florida’s most vibrant beach towns. Whether you plan to bring your board and hit the waves, enjoy local bars and dining, catch some live music, quiet strolls along the beach or simply enjoy breathtaking sunrises from your sofa or patio, you have every option at your fingertips.

The condo is conveniently located within walking distance of all of the top local attractions and is just a couple of miles from popular Neptune and Atlantic beaches.

Here are some additional features you will find at the Orange You Happy Condo:

· Living room with floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass door leading to our lawn, the pool and of course the music of crashing waves
· Large master suite with walk-through closet and French doors to the living room
· Eat-in kitchen with views and well-equipped with everything you need to prepare any type of meal at home
· Dishwasher, microwave oven and garbage disposal
· Washer and dryer
· New TVs in living room & bedrooms - each with streaming TV (YouTube TV subscription provided for live TV)
· High speed Wi-Fi with 27-inch display and Apple computer
· NEST thermostat and smoke (& Carbon monoxide) detector
· Keyless entry (no keys to lose!)
· Beach chairs and towels for you to use during your stay
· Beach gear like umbrellas, shelters, sand castle kit, etc
· Patio with Adirondack chairs and community back yard, rarely used by other guests
· Community oceanfront pool
· Dedicated parking spot, located right outside the front door- easy loading in and out!
· Baby equipment (Pack and Play and infant booster seat) available upon request for small guests and/or visiting grandchildren

We keep all of our items at our condo so your packing and traveling is easier.

The Orange You Happy Condo is the perfect seaside retreat, offering both rest and relaxation and plenty of dining options and nightlife, right on your doorstep. It’s the perfect fit for anyone looking to enjoy a magical oceanfront sunrise while sipping coffee on the patio. Or to read a good book by the pool. Or take long strolls on the beach. Enjoy the surf and sand. A family holiday. Romantic getaway. A visit with relatives who live nearby. Or even a local escape for those who live in nearby towns.

In addition, we are located near the following attractions:
· Jax Beach Pier = ½ mile
· Mayo Clinic = 5 miles or 10-15 minutes
· TPC Sawgrass Golf Course = 8 miles or 22 minutes
· Everbank Field Stadium/Downtown Jax = 17 miles or 30 minutes
· Jacksonville International Airport = 27 miles or 37 minutes
· St. Augustine = 32 miles or 1 hour
· Disney World = 160 miles or 2.5 hours

We are not only the property managers, but we are the owners. The Orange You Happy Condo is a special place to our family where we are creating many happy lifelong memories. We look forward to sharing it with you and providing you with an exceptional experience. And we hope to host you again and again, and get to know you. We want you to love it here as much as we do! Looking forward to hearing from you!

Great for a Family Get Away

We rented two side-by-side first-floor condos - Happy Pineapple and Orange You Happy - from the same owner, for our extended family vacation with 8 adults. We had a wonderful time! The condos worked out even better than we expected.The location was great - right beside the pool, and only steps from the beach - and it was perfect that we could bring our dogs with us.We grilled out in front of the condo (there is a small charcoal grill in Happy Pineapple, but we brought our own small weber gas grill and foldable table) and it was so fun to gather around outside to visit and snack while we grilled. I'm not sure that any other place would have worked out as well for us. We will definitely be back!

The location of this condo was perfect and it was hard to decide where to spend our time, the beautiful beach or the wonderful pool and patio! Great location near many great restaurants and attractions and the condo had all of our beach needs, boogie boards, beach towels and beach chairs! Highly recommend this property!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this condo the moment we first visited. In addition to loving the condo itself, we couldn't have picked a better location. Not only is it oceanfront with amazing ocean sounds and breezes, it's right in the heart of Jax Beach and within walking distance to many popular attractions and restaurants. We also love the expansive beach right behind the property - perfect for morning walks, all-day play, water sports and a short walk to the Jacksonville Beach pier. Not too rowdy, not far from the fun.

You won't want to miss the stunning sunrise from condo's patio. Our favorite thing is to watch the sunrise there with a cup of coffee. It's also a great spot to wind down in the evenings. And, of course, the building's pool is just steps away from the patio. We love an afternoon swim with the sounds of the waves in the background!

What makes this property unique

Ground floor unit means no elevators, no stairs, and easy luggage in and out with direct access to the lawn and pool. We are also provide plenty of beach gear (towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella) and a fully equipped kitchen so that you can feel right at home.
