I can’t think of any thing negative

This quaint and charming home is near the beach and is everything it says it is in the listing. I stayed in Jen’s home for three months and it felt like home instantly. We have booked it again for next year and cannot wait to feel at home there once again.

Another Great Stay At SurfPark

Once again (3rd time) the house was fantastic. We like the Location being within a few blocks of the beach and just north of the Jax Pier and local Bars/Restaurants. This location is great to get towards Jax (St. Johns for shopping and restaurants) and to Top Golf and other to do's.Heather (Property Manager) is great and very accomodating. House has everything you need and especially the fenced in backyard. Our Beagle loved it! and the neighbors are great as well.

Perfect Stay

Our stay at Surf Park was perfect. I was having surgery at Mayo and needed to stay in the area for two weeks. As we had to bring our Westies with us, we chose a property that allowed dogs as well as a quick drive to Mayo. The home and yard were absolutely met our requirements. The home was comfortable, well appointed with everything we needed. And the dogs loved the fenced in yard. It felt like home. Thank you, Heather … we hope to come back and enjoy the property again when Im healed!

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.
