Your front door is only 7 blocks from the sand and sea. The home is centrally located in Jacksonville Beach and is a short walk or even shorter bike ride to many of the areas attractions. Don't want to travel with your bike? We have you covered. There are several beach cruisers with locks in the garage for your use.

If you are looking to get out and find something to eat or drink, we are just a few blocks from Margaritaville, and a host of other fantastic restaurants. We have detailed some of our favorites that we will send you in our welcome guide once you book.

If shopping is what you are after, we have a ton of eclectic beach stores, art studios, and are located a short drive from the Atlantic Beach Town Center.

If you are a golfer, there are over 30 golf courses in the greater Jacksonville area, including TPC Sawgrass and the players championship just 7 miles away.

If you are looking to stay in, there is also a BBQ grill on the patio, plenty of furniture to sit around and talk, and a fire pit to enjoy the evenings.

We have tried to think of everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible and are looking forward to hosting you soon.

Great place if you have a dog traveling with you.

The house was comfortable and located close to restaurants and shopping. Walkable neighborhood and fully fenced back yard. After years of traveling with a dog, this was the best yard by far.

Great Location

We had a great stay! Our dog loved the back yard, it was only a couple of block away from the new pickleball courts and an easy walk to the beach. The place was clean and nicely appointed with lots of amentities like bikes and beach toys, towels, etc. A lot of attention to the details to make it a comfortable stay.

Greatest Jax Beach vibe

It's was a great house with an amazing yard! Close to everything! The house is a true beach gem! Neighborhood was great and close to a park, which we took advantage of ! Had everything you needed! It's was clean and it even has an additional a.c. in living room as it gets really hot here in fl! Everything was in great working order! I can't say how much we truly enjoyed staying here! It has a great beachy vibe!

Better than advertised...

This was one of the few rentals I stayed at that appeared larger than the photos. My mother is extremely picky, and we stayed at many rentals/hotels, however, she said this was the first time in a long time that she felt comfortable and on vacation. This rental gets my highest recommendation. I'll definitely book again if I'm in the area.

Catching up with old friends

Had a great stay in this lovely house. Well decorated and beautiful fenced in yard with fire pit. I wish we had the chance to use the fire pit! We dined one night at local restaurant Dwight’s Bistro, which was fabulous and highly recommend! We visited Hannah Park on our last day when we checked out with our dog. Great park!

PERFECT SPOT!!

This home is amazing in every way! Truly the perfect location and I loved all the little extras such as providing soap, coffee filters, laundry supplies, etc. that’s not what we’ve found at other VRBO’s. This one is EXCEPTIONAL!! Cannot wait to come back!!

Jax Beach Wedding

The house was not only clean, roomy, comfortable, and easy to access, but it was incredibly well stocked with anything we needed. From corkscrews to hot pads and even dog supplies. We were so impressed. And, the location was perfect. It was an easy walk to the beach or a quick and inexpensive Uber to some great restaurants. And did we mention the pumpkin donuts? Can’t say enough good things about the place. If we ever need another trip to Jax Beach, this will be our place.

Great Everything!

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Seahorse Cottage Bungalow. The location and neighborhood was perfect for our visit. Walking distance to restaurants, beach and shopping. The home was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. Especially all the beach gear! The backyard was very large and perfect for hanging out and relaxing. Enjoyed the outdoor shower especially after our beach day. We will definitely reserve the cottage in the future.
