Cute and cozy!

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! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Just right for our little family

We stayed here with our one year old while we were visiting family. The space was perfect for three people, and would probably have worked well with one more too. The house was clean and well-equipped, and a great location for visiting the beach. Our host was kind and communicative. We'd absolutely stay here again. Thanks for everything!

Bitter sweet

The reason for our visit from the UK was bitter sweet as my son was moving out to live with his father yet the comfort & beauty of our accommodation made it extremely comfortable, giving us our own space yet very central to beach & his new school which we where visiting. It was truly perfect & definitely will return to stay when next visiting.

4th of July

We came to Jacksonville Beach to spend the holiday week with kids/grands who live in the area. While we knew we'd be spending the bulk of our time with the family, we wanted a nighttime haven to be able to sleep in and relax. The house was wonderful for us, and offers so much we didn't actually need. Immaculate, comfy beds, great linens, a nice layout, well appointed, quiet. All the check marks. Plus it's private, gave our dog a place to run out back. Very close to the beach, plenty of "beach stuff." We hope to be able to come back again when we visit the family.

Business, fish, golf

This house is well kept/maintained. Beds are comfortable and all necessary kitchen utensils were in good order. I would definitely stay here again. We were not beach goers, but the property was convenient for our needs. We mostly drove to golf, fish and business meetings. We did walk for coffee, but because of heat and humidity preferred A/C in our car to access most restaurants.

Family Fun JAX style

We had another great stay at this property. We looked back at the guest book and realized it had been 3 years since our last visit! Way too long!! This cute home is in a great location and way better than staying in a hotel or condo, especially if you have kids. There’s a ton to do nearby, but the beach right across the street and hanging out in the huge private backyard is where we spent most of our time. We will be back, hopefully soon!

Dog friendly, cute, and comfortable

My family enjoyed our stay. Our dogs' needs were perfectly accommodated with a large, lush lawn, dog waste bags, outdoor water, and shade. Our only concern was the full bed was too small for my very pregnant daughter and her 6'3" fiance; however, that was no one's fault as it was mentioned in description, and they made do on the fold out couch. Just something for others to keep in mind. We would absolutely stay here again and thank Heather for sharing her home with our family.
