Wonderful, cozy home close to the beach

Comfortable in the heat, updated look, beach things in the shed with an outdoor shower to rinse off, crosswalk to the beach is close. There was great communication with the host and a comprehensive list of expectation of the property. A great place to stay for our family of 4.

We had a great stay and the house had everything we needed! The fenced yard and outdoor shower were a big plus! We also appreciated the beach chairs, wagon, and cooler. Everyone in the area restaurants and stores were so very friendly! We also left a bag and the owner worked with us to ship the bag! We greatly appreciate her going the extra mile!

Very nice stay

I was in town for 1.5 weeks; this property was clean, cute, and updated with plenty of amenities I didn’t really need, but were nice to have (i.e. firepit, hammock, beach items). The location near Jax Beach was great, and the check in and check out process were seamless. Would rent again.
