About this property

Private Beach Bar Vibes | Pool, Grill + Games

Perfect for families, golf groups, and friends looking to unwind in style, The Islander is a spacious 4BR, 2BA coastal retreat designed for laid-back luxury and unforgettable gatherings. Enjoy a true backyard bar experience with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, bar seating, Smart TV, firepit lounge, heated pool, and private putting green—plus a game room packed with shuffleboard, ping pong, foosball, and classic arcade games. Located just minutes from the beach in Jacksonville Beach, this home blends relaxed coastal living with “5 o’clock somewhere” energy all day long.

Professionally managed by Welcome Home Rentals, a locally owned team with responsive 24/7 guest support.

GRILL, CHILL & UNWIND
Start your morning slow with coffee by the pool, before taking a quick drive to the beach for a day in the sun. By afternoon, it’s all about the backyard—fire up the grill, turn on the game, mix drinks at the bar, and rotate between the pool, putting green, and lounge spaces. As the sun sets, gather around the firepit, watch the game from the outdoor TV, and enjoy nights that feel effortless, fun, and just the right amount of indulgent.
Whether you're here for a long weekend or a month-long escape, every detail supports a seamless stay.

WHY GUESTS LOVE THIS HOME

Amazing Property - Perfect In Every Way

This house is absolutely amazing in every way. It is in a great neighborhood and walk to the park and five minute drive to the beach. The house was clean and spotless and had more amenities than any Vrbo I've stayed at before. The property manager was easy to communicate with and very attentive. The pool was clean, warm and so much fun. I could spend endless days in the backyard. Life is better at this place.

Most amazing backyard!

This house was a dream to stay in! We reserved it for a family get together, and the highlight of this house was the backyard! It is perfect for entertaining, hosting dinners, barbecues, you name it. The view of the pool from the outdoor kitchen really makes it feel you are on a tropical vacation. Everyone in our group raved about the outdoor kitchen and how they had to have one at home. It was truly a treat to be able to entertain our family and friends there. The house had everything we needed and was clean, cozy, and comfortable. It felt as though we were right at home. And everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were! Mike and the Welcome Home team were a dream to work with making our stay as seamless as possible. We can’t wait to book this property again.

Relaxing week March 2023

The Islander home was exactly what we expected. Outdoor space was so relaxing & made it easy to just “hang out”. We had kids and adults staying for the week and everyone was entertained! The beach was close to the house and the host even provided beach chairs/umbrella to take with us. We found plenty of great dinner spots in the evening. Close enough to St. Augustine that if you wanted to go for a visit or to tour downtown, you can! The swings out by the backyard bar were our favorite “fun feature”. The hosts pay attention to detail… for example: we checked in Saturday, the teens played corn hole in the back Sat evening. The boards had some wear from the weather, but we would not have said anything they worked just fine. Sunday we were gone for the day and when we got back to the house someone had been by and swapped out the corn hole boards with new ones. Again, we didn’t mention it or ask. They noticed it and took care of it. All communication with the host was efficient/clear & quick! We will def. Plan another trip!
