The house was in a nice location. It was clean, though the furniture and rugs were pretty worn and stained. The shower had good water pressure, all appliances were in good repair, and the host was quick to respond to any questions we had. We enjoyed our stay.

The washer and dryer was not working properly. Washer would not drain the water from the clothes and the dryer would not dry clothes. And there is no filter in the furnace air duck so there’s a lot of dust coming through the vents which aggravated my allergies.

We had a great stay! The house has ample space, was very clean, and comfortable, and the host was extremely responsive to our messages. We didn’t get an opportunity to use the heated pool but that’s simply because our schedule didn’t allow for it. The pool looked very nice and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend staying here!!!

We enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and spacious. There were 8 of us and the space never felt crowded. The pool and backyard was refreshing and fun. The pool is large and allowed for us all the enjoy it equally.The front room near the front door had maybe a queen bed inside and a couch which is different from the pictures but a welcomed difference. This allowed 2 of our guest to have a room to sleep in instead of having to sleep on a couch. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need and more, including pots, pans, cups, silverware, paper towels and trash bags. Soap, shampoo and conditioner was also stocked in the bathrooms. Towels- plenty pool and bath towels and when we ran out, we washed them with no problem. The neighbor was safe and near grocery stores, restaurants and Walmart. The only complaint was the couches in the living room along with the carpet in the master bedroom needs to be cleaned. Neither looked like the pictures which did catch us off guard. Overall, the stay was pleasant, fun and relaxing.

Amazing Home in Great Location!

We've stayed at many VRBO rentals over the years and Angie's place is at the top of the list! It's a nice neighborhood in Mandarin close to everything Jax has to offer. The pool is temperature controlled so it is always just right for enjoying! The house is very nicely decorated and comfortable, truly felt like being home while on vacation. Thanks again for everything!!

Passions in life: Wine, Dogs, Real estate and Traveling =)

Taiwanese American, Married with 2 dogs

Barley-Female Viszla and Gumbo- Male Husky (both potty trained and well behaved, Barley does get nervous if little kids screams and runs towards her. Gumbo will sing (not bark) when we come home to welcome us. We do like to travel with them as much as we can, but we are respectful for people's place and does not leave a mess.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, spacious, clean, heated pool and in a safe neighborhood, this is the perfect space for a family get together to create lots of beautiful memories.

The space

Right when you walk in you're greeted by our welcome table. Feel free to sign our guest book and tell us where you're from. The office has a table for studying or getting work done and a couch that has a pullout bed. The living room is one of our favorite places to hangout, lounge on the couch, and watch TV. Against the wall we have some games, books and puzzles for you to explore. The kitchen is fully equipped with all cookware and utensils you might need. Enjoy family meals at our sleek dining table. The master bedroom has a comfy king bed with attached bathroom. The second spacious bedroom has two queen beds and the third bedroom has two twin beds. The backyard is great for cooling off in the pool, lounging on the daybed or having a night time fire in the outdoor grill.

Mandarin is considered to be one of the best places to live in Florida. The mostly residential areas of the Mandarin area are brimming with history, nature and boast some of the most stunning river views in Jacksonville. It is close proximity to the St. John's River with many local attractions and parks. Often called a "tropical paradise."

There are many great grocery stores and restaurants just minutes away! - The Fresh Market, Whole Food, Trader Joe’s, Publix, Starbucks, Panera bread, Clark’s fish camp, Metro dinner, Bonefish Grill, Julington Creek fish camp and more.
