About this property

Super fun home with bikes on the best street in Riverside!

Come enjoy our little house in the most fun neighborhood of Jacksonville.

It's a very short walk away from Bold Bean coffee, excellent tapas at 13 Gypsies, a great vinyl record store, fantastic fried chicken, and much, much more.

We also have bikes that you can use to cruise around to all the awesome shops, bars, restaurants, live music venues, and movie theaters. The bikes even have cell phone holders & drink holders.

Come and go at your leisure with a code we'll send you for the Nest smart locks on all three doors.

Both bedrooms -- and the living room -- have TCL Roku TV's. They're already logged into Sling TV, Netflix, ESPN+, and Disney+, but feel free to log us out and log yourself in. There are Chromecasts, too. Plus, the master bedroom has a brand new Simmons Beautyrest king size mattress.

We also have strategically placed smart speakers throughout the home -- and they're linked together! Want to hear your favorite music throughout the house? Just ask Google. There's also super fast WiFi.

We also have new AC units that are controlled via remotes. The ceiling fans are controlled via remote, too.

Oh, and if that's not enough remote controls, we also have an NES Classic in the living room!

The bedrooms, dining room, and living room have usb-c, micro USB, and iPhone chargers, too.

The kitchen is full of snacks, sodas, a bottle of wine for you, and spices/oils/etc for cooking. The kitchen has pots, pans, microwave, etc, and an Illy coffee maker with more coffee and espresso pods than you'll ever be able to drink. There's also an Aeropress with ground Illy coffee.

For breakfast there's Umpqua Oats oatmeal, Kind bars, and Nutrigrain bars as well as a selection of Taylor's Fine British Teas and the aforementioned Illy coffee.

The bathroom is stocked with individually packed toiletries, in case you forgot something. We also provide human-sized bars of Dove soap, as opposed to those tiny little hotel bars of soap.

Need to do some laundry? No problem, we have a washer, dryer, and detergent. Want a long, hot shower? We just installed a fancy new 55 gallon hot water heater. There's also have a nice ironing board and iron for you to use.

Care to unwind and enjoy the weather? There's a lovely little fire pit with firewood, starter logs, adirondack chairs, and 'smores kits. (and bug spray, just in case).

Oh, and we also have beach chairs, beach towels, sunscreen, a beach tote and umbrellas in case you're headed out to Jax Beach!

And to be clear, you'll have absolutely the entire property. This is not an apartment, not a divided home, not a loft, and not a carriage house.

This home is 96 years old but we've done a ton of work on it and we think you'll love it as much as we do!

Cute House & Great Location

This little house did not disappoint. The host added nice little touches throughout the house: snacks, drinks (soda, wine and coffee), games to play, up to date magazines on the coffee table, super cute postcards with the house on the front to use, and toiletries. The check in process was a breeze. The location of this property was in a neighborhood that I felt safe enough to walk 4 miles in each morning. Highly recommend picking this house for your getaway. We will be back!

Lovely little house

My best friend and I had an excellent long weekend at the Jacksonville little house. Great location with some shops within walking distance (we tried the coffee place & curry joint, both very good!), well-supplied comfortable home, and super accommodating host/property manager. We would happily return!!

Great stay!

Really cute house! They have everything you need or forgot which is so very thoughtful. House was full of snacks and drinks. I needed a lint brush and they had one! My son forgot his tooth brush, no problem they had one! Kids had a great time using the fire pit and making s’mores. There are lots of restaurants and things within walking distance. We came in town to go to the Monday Night Football game and really enjoyed our stay. The stadium isn’t too far away either for anyone needing a place to stay for a game. Thank you for everything!

Relaxing stay

We had a great stay at the little house. The check in was very easy and using the code was simple. The neighborhood is great. Plenty of dining options and easy to get around. I am a runner and I enjoyed running around. The hosts were very accommodating, responsive and helpful. Lots of suggestions for dining and activities. The house had everything we needed. We had lots of room to spread out. The washer and dryer were also very helpful. TV’s in all the bedrooms really helped with the relaxing at night part of our trip. We enjoyed the house and Jacksonville very much. Definitely would stay here again, lots more exploring to do.

Little Guest House is the Best!

As an individual who travels to Jacksonville frequently for work, I usually stay at VRBO’s for the location near my Jax office and being in or close to Riverside. This was my first time staying at this location. I usually don’t write reviews but this home is worth taking time to give the review it deserves. Not only was this house the most comfortable and welcoming house I have ever stayed at, the owner Adam was a delight and was never out of touch for any questions. From the eclectic decor to the perfect sheets and mattresses, (I’m very picky about these two things), to the bottle of wine waiting for guests arrival, everything was perfect. It’s the first time I have felt completely at ease while traveling and the location was perfect to walk a few blocks to one of my favorite Jax restaurants, 13 Gypsy’s. I could keep going about how much I loved this place and now will try and book this every month when I’m back in Jacksonville. Thanks Adam😊

Wonderful "Little House"

We were looking for a property close or in that neighborhood. The house was perfect. As close to staying with my son as possible without being at his house. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming. We arranged early arrival and all went smoothly. We did not do any big meals at the house but found everything we needed. The hosts had a wonderful supply of welcoming drinks and snacks waiting. We had a great time.

Best little house in FL!

I can’t say enough good things about this rental Or the owners. The home is spotless, and so cute as well! The beds are super comfy, and the home is full of “extras”. The owner stocks the fridge with drinks, wine, and snacks. Even little toiletry bags - if you forget your toothbrush etc. literally, any thing you can think of - they have thought of it. If this wasn’t enough to sell you on this home - the owner was amazing and communication was top notch. We look forward to staying here again thr future!

Great Cottage feel get away

Enjoyed staying at the Little House. It was quaint, cozy, and accommodating. The house was laced with original 1920's or 30's walls, door framing, baseboard, and crown molding which preserved the houses' historicalness. The modern furniture, appliances, and updated bathroom and kitchen were aesthetically pleasing as well as seemed appropriate for the size of the rooms. We enjoyed the comforts of home, ability to walk to the water, and appreciated the surrounding neighborhood with mature trees. We would stay again!

Fun house in Jacksonville

As a family traveling with 3 teens, we really enjoyed our stay at Adam + Nikki's house in Jacksonville. The space was perfect to spread out, listen to music, watch a movie, cook, eat together and sit around a backyard campfire. We walked through the neighborhood in the evenings and felt like we were exploring a part of the country very different from our home up north. Restaurants, parks and a grocery story were all not far from this location.The hosts were amazing in thinking of everything we could possibly need during our stay and providing it. They could not have been better. Many thanks for their hospitality during our trip!

SO Charming!

The photos do not do Little House justice! My husband stepped into the house before me and said, "You're going to fall in love with this.", and he was right. "Charming" is the best word I can think of to describe Little House, which has had its decor updated since the photos presented... I won't spoil the surprise though if they're not going to show off the mural yet! The house is nearly 100 years old, and carries all the unique vibe of a house its age, updated with modern amenities; a comfortably deep and wide tub to soak in, Google Home running throughout, chargers and adapters everywhere you look, TVs decked out with nearly all the streaming services you could ask for, etc. I felt like I could've shown up with nothing but a toothbrush and still enjoyed a comfortable stay. If I had to cite any drawbacks at all, it would be that the kitchen is not expansively furnished. If you want to cut a lime for your cocktail, you're fine, but cooking a full dinner requires being a little more flexible with your tools. That said, we still cranked out a fine dinner with what was on hand. It should also encourage you to order in from the amazing local joints, like Lola's Burger & Burrito. Of all the rental houses we've stayed in, the bed was the most comfortable we've ever had. It was also refreshing to sit at a REAL dining table and not a tiny bisto table jammed in to the corner so the home owners could squeeze in another sofa bed. Lastly, Adam was speedy answering any questions I had, and always polite. I look forward to booking Little House again for future getaways, and when it's safe to dine in restaurants again, I plan to bring friends out here to enjoy a weekend in old Riverside.

Very Comfortable Stay

My husband and I stayed at the property while we were here for work. The house was comfortable and had all the necessary amenities and some unnecessary, but convenient ones as well. The coffee and wine were nice benefits as we traveled by plane and it is difficult to bring those things along. Saved a stop at the store before arriving. We didn't get to enjoy the area much although we would have liked to. There are restaurants within walking distance and we felt very safe in the neighborhood.
