Large house
We stayed here for two weeks while moving across country and waiting for our new home to be completed. It’s a nice big space. We had the upstairs. There were renters in the basement unit too who were very nice (but a surprise as we didn’t know someone was living in the basement when we rented the house). We were working from home while we were there and had plenty of space and more than one choice of where to set up our work stations. Our dog loved the front yard (unfenced). While we could have used the fenced backyard for him, the people downstairs used it too. Not a problem and they were very nice but we thought we’d have the entire yard, front and back, to ourselves. There are kayaks to use for the creek. We did not use them but the people downstairs used them often. Great quiet neighborhood. We walked our dog early in the morning and after dark and felt extremely safe any time. Tim was great. Very responsive. Showed up at the property a couple of times but never bothered us. He would take garbage cans out and came over to make sure wewere hurricane Ian ready (never bothered us but he had helpful tips). We would definitely stay again if we needed a place in Jacksonville.

Relaxing Week
We had a good time tucked away in Jacksonville. The location was within a short drive of everything we wanted to do. The owner reacted quickly to my SOS, when I locked us all out of the house. The neighborhood is very quiet. Good experience for us.

Easy place to stay
Quiet neighborhood. Great driveway for multiple cars. Plenty of towels and extra sheets. Appreciated the two laundry baskets and large drying rack. The basement sofa bed was uncomfortable, but we had brought a foam mat, and that made it okay. Tim took care of things right away when we let him know the wifi wasn’t working. Thanks, Tim!

About the host

I have lived in Jacksonville for 21 years and call it my home. I live 5 miles from this property. I have been doing VRBO for 3 years on #1685214. My reviews on that property speak to what you should expect for a visit at my VRBO.

Why they chose this property

There is a lot of room. This is an upper unit of large 3000 square foot home. It has a large front and larger back yard in a quiet neighborhood. The neighbors are very nice. There is a a privacy fence and upper and lower patio in the back yard. You can lay out in the sun, grill on a Green Egg or regular charcoal grill, let the kids and pets roam the yard, fish off the dock, kayak. Ride bicycles at a local trail.
At night try a fire in the fire pit or watch a movie or a sporting event in the living room.
Being so close to 295 and I10, your are a short drive from anywhere in the Duval/904 area code. This property can handle small gatherings up to 12, but strictly limited to 8 overnight guests.
