Everything was clean, kitchen had paper towels (idk why I appreciate this so much when it happens lol), plenty of towels, throw blankets, TVs, easy parking, and host had the AC on for us before we got there so it wasn’t super hot inside. The host was accommodating to my service dog. The neighborhood was cute and there is food within walking distance. Highly recommend

Great Stay

The description was spot on. We enjoyed our stay, and the setting was in a nice quiet neighborhood. Our stay was extended by one day due to winter weather in FL(go figure) and Donnie was extremely helpful during this process. We would definitely recommend, and we would have no hesitation staying there again.

Wonderful Neighborhood Comfortable House!

The place was very comfortable (loved the beds) and well decorated. It was also in a very nice neighborhood. One point off due to train and traffic noise while outside, but inside was very quiet and could only faintly hear the train. Donnie was great to work with and even mailed something to me that I had forgotten. Thanks Donnie! Would have no problem staying here again!

Jax Trip

We enjoyed our stay. The house was beautifully decorated, had everything we needed and the neighbors were friendly. Wish the dryer was working; however, we air dried our washcloths on Saturday morning and didn't wash any of our clothes since dryer had an issue. Thanks!

Cottage to Jax

Perfect fit for our Jax Jazz trip, had such a good time, walking distance Orsay & Iguana on Park....had the last night of cool weather and enjoyed the fire pit. It was perfect for our needs. The carpet needed some help but it didn't keep us from having a good time. We would choose to stay there again if in Jax...

Great location!

We loved the area and felt safe. Check in and out was an easy process. The owner recommended some surrounding restaurants and we loved the Brick which is close by. Would definitely stay again if I find myself back in Jacksonville in the future. My only complaint was there was carpet throughout the house and a slight odor. It would not deter me from staying again.

Initially the rental seemed just like the booking. Which was great at first glance. Then after around 3 days we began to see roaches. Not just any roaches the small kinds that are very hard to get rid of. All over the kitchen and in the bathrooms. I reached out to the property manager about this and after being very responsive, he suddenly stopped responding. The the point where I had to reach out to Vrbo, they have even had trouble. What really caused me to leave the review was finding love roaches in the shower are as well as live in the dish washer and running under the kitchen cabinet as I turned kitchen lights on. One this problem is addressed I think the rental would be awesome, but until then please go at your own risk. Realizing that you may be bringing something back with you, that you didn’t expect to take. We killed a total of 6 small roaches, but there were multiple that were a slightly bigger size that escaped. It grossed me out so much that we left earlier than expected.

Fine

The house is spacious, plenty of room for our party of 3 adults. Location is great. I would probably stay here again with a few minor improvements: The bathroom needs a little attention-the light in the shower area was hanging out of the ceiling, the shower curtain liner was covered in soap scum, and the baseboards were pretty dirty. Overall it was a comfortable stay, very easy to get to, and in a cute neighborhood.

Comfortable/ Nice and Cozy

The home was a comfortable stay. Me and my family enjoy the 2 nights there to enjoy my mother’s birthday. There was an electrical issue which caused a later checkin. But the owner was nice enough to treat me and family out for lunch to entire l enjoy while they fixed the problem. The only thing that were a problem was roaches in the kitchen area. We had to kill roaches during the time of stay. I’ll rate the stay a 7/10
