About this property

Oceanside Retreat: Walk to Beach, Shops & Dining! Multiple Outdoor Spaces

Welcome to your Sunshine Stay in Jax Beach! This recently renovated 2-bed/2.5-bath townhome is your haven for a stress-free getaway. With a split floor plan, it's ideal for families or friends seeking their own space. Enjoy thoughtful amenities like a fully stocked kitchen, a collection of games and books, and a cozy outdoor area with ambient lighting and a firepit. Located east of A1A, it's just a short stroll to the ocean, dining, and shops!

*On the First Floor, Ground Level:*
Step through the vibrant coral door into the first floor, where convenience meets comfort. Here, you'll find a full washer/dryer room, ample storage space for beach essentials (thoughtfully provided by us), and a generously sized bedroom with a Queen & Twin bed, along with an en suite full bathroom. Step out onto the patio and savor your morning coffee without going upstairs, thanks to our mini coffee station.

*On the Second Floor:*
Head upstairs and discover an inviting, light-filled living, dining, and kitchen space. Our curated collection of books and games awaits your quiet or lively enjoyment. A convenient half bath ensures guests can relax without worrying about keeping their en suite bathrooms tidy (after all, you're on vacation!). For those unavoidable work tasks, we've provided two lap desks in the living room and a workspace in the primary bedroom. Speaking of which, the King bed in the master suite promises a restful night's sleep. Additionally, enjoy a cozy reading nook, a full en suite bathroom, and an outdoor balcony with seating.

So to recap: That’s one bedroom on the 1st floor (Queen + Twin) and one bedroom on the 2nd floor (King) both with full en suite bathrooms. Accommodates 5 people total, and additional little ones are welcome with prior approval. A pack n play is available upon request.

*Fenced Backyard:*
Outdoor space is essential for us, so we've provided a tranquil retreat accessible from both top and bottom floors. Plug in the overhanging lights, settle into a seat, light a fire, and let the tunes play. Leave your worries behind and bask in paradise. We can't wait to host you!

Highlighted Amenities:
* Beach essentials provided, including chairs, umbrella, sand toys, boogie boards, beach towels, and a beach cart.
* Complimentary beach cruisers for your enjoyment.
* Foot hose for rinsing off sand at the front entrance.
* Toiletries, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, and paper products provided.
* Keurig coffee maker duo (pods + pot) with a selection of K-cups and tea provided.
* Fully stocked kitchen for your culinary adventures.
* Entertainment options include books, board games, and smart TVs with Rokus.
* Pack n play and high chair available upon request.

Check Out What Our Guests Are Saying!

Spacious beach house, perfect location, and all the amenities of home! Everything was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Very responsive hosts and an easy check-in/check-out process. Great sleeping arrangements for our family of four. Walking distance to the beach and great restaurants. A week wasn’t long enough! We will definitely be back. - Angela

We absolutely LOVED our weekend stay at Seaside Getaway. It was prime location, safe and near everything we needed. The home was clean and had all the amenities we needed for the stay. Short and convenient walk to the beach and was even provided with a beach buggy and umbrella we forgot to bring. 10/10 recommend and would stay here again. - Shannon

This home was immaculate, had all the amenities you needed for a weekend. The beach was an easy, close walk in a safe neighborhood. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs. We will stay here in the future. - Jennifer
---------------------

*Hey Fido!*
We welcome you too (and hey, bring a friend*!) enjoy lounging around in the fully fenced backyard, maybe chasing a lizard or two. We supply doggie bags so be sure your mom/dad clean up after you. We would prefer if you sleep on the floor or designated pet bed but if you insist on lounging on the furniture (we know, it's comfy up there!) Please ask your mom/dad to lay out the provided pet blanket/covering. Thanks friend!
*Two dogs max as the space only allows for that with the your humans. Trained, non/light shedding breads only please.
Sorry, we cannot host cats (we know, we know, we love them too!)
*Pet fee applied at check-out (flat $125)

Perfect stay

We are local to Jax and had severe damage to our home during a hurricane and had to stay elsewhere while repairs were being done. This could not have been the more perfect place. It is just 2 blocks from the beach, pet friendly and very comfortable for our 5 week stay. The owners were super nice and accommodating. Definitely recommend!

Home was very clean, beds were clean & comfortable, we had plenty of towels, irons & ironing boards, washer/dryer, cleaning supplies, throw blankets, spacious comfortable sitting area, desk, ceiling fans in bedrooms and den, books, games, coffee pots, coffee supplies, spices, all kitchen utensils you would need (no blender), sharp knives, TV's (3) (my friend had Netflix so we could watch movies), WiFi, Alexa was great for weather and music, bikes, several beach supplies (chairs, pull cart, towels, boogie board, umbrella, towels, and including a small cooler), shampoos, conditioners, and body wash in shower/tubs, grill, fire pit, 3 different outdoor sitting areas, covered parking, quiet neighbors, quiet street with little to no traffic, close to shops and restaurants, and short walk to beach access. Beach was quiet when we went. The only problem was access when we arrived. I touched the keypad to illuminate it for the code but did not realize to touch it at the bottom left first. Jenny responded within 10 mins, go us in/access, and then came by the next morning to show this old girl how to use new technology. When by other VRBO, within our price range, we had looked at and was so glad we chose this one. 2 others were within one block of this unit. Pictures represent unit well if not doing it full justice. Instructions left for clear use of items, and good communications. Enjoyed our stay! Thanks Jenny

Excellent Property at "Sunshine Stay"

This property was perfect for our little weekend get-away. Short walk to the beach and they provided everything from beach umbrella, beach towels and chairs and even a rolling cart to carry it all. The decor is very stylish and cute and the furniture comfortable for gathering. Check in was easy and Jenny is very on top of communicating the details. I would highly recommend "Sunshine Stay"

Great weekend!

The covered parking and space for 4 vehicles is nice. The townhouse is set up well with comfortable beds and furniture. The outside space is awesome if the weather cooperates. I enjoyed not having to pack shampoo, conditioner and body wash as it was supplied. The only thing missing was possibly a blender or hand mixer. Very nice property and Jenny was readily available when we had a question.

This beach friendly property has everything you need for a Florida getaway! Bikes, beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, skim boards and beach toys allow for an amazing afternoon off of 22nd Street Beach. With the primary bedroom upstairs and multi-bed bedroom downstairs, the house allowed for privacy when needed and the family room area was a perfect gathering space for my family. I was impressed with the little details. The property owner obviously takes a lot of pride in this property.

Perfect Space for Our Group

Stayed here during the 4th of July holiday. Location was perfect with easy access to the beach and first street for bike riding on the 4th. It was a nice spacious place that allowed us to spread out from each other. Kids slept downstairs while husband and I slept upstairs. The back patio was provided a nice place to sit outside. The condo came with a nice supply of beach chairs, towels and toys which was nice to not have to go buy all of that. Overall, the condo was clean and met our needs perfectly. Would definitely book again.

Joy at Jacksonville Beach!

This townhouse was perfect for two of us and our two small dogs. It was very clean and very comfortable. We especially loved the small fenced backyard with string lighting. That was so cute at night! The kitchen had everything we needed. Both bedrooms were like masters with en suite bathrooms plus a half bathroom near the kitchen in the main living space upstairs. This would also be comfortable for four adults. It was a short walk to the beach and all of the beach gear was provided such as towels, chairs and umbrellas. I especially enjoyed morning sunrise walks on the beach! The neighborhood was very quiet and we enjoyed evening walks with our pups. Even though it is close to A1A we never heard any traffic noise at all. It was a very peaceful and joyful stay. We will definitely stay here again!

Amazing attention to detail!

My family and I loved staying here! The attention to details inside and outside were so impressive. I personally loved the murals which really made me feel like I was on vacation, even though I was visiting my hometown. We were provided with everything we could possible imagine from bikes to boogie boards, a working grill and fire pit, all the kitchen supplies you could need, and even extra razors in the bathroom! The beds were super clean and comfy and the outdoor area was perfect for my pup! I would stay here again and would definitely recommend all my friends!

Perfection & Easy!

I heavily read various reviews before choosing a place to stay for the weekend in this area. We live local, so it was a staycation, and I’m familiar with the various neighborhoods at the beach.The condo was exactly as described! Well stocked, very clean, felt fun and bright. Short walk to the beach, across the street from many great restaurants and shopping. The owner is very quick with responses if needed. Highly recommend and would not hesitate to book again!

Cute little cottage just a short walk from the beach.

A cute little cottage with uptairs living room, full kitchen with dishwasher and coffee maker. Also, balconies off the living room and bedroom, and a full bath, and a partial bath. Downstairs has a bedroom, another bath, a utility room with washer and dryer, and a patio leading to a small fenced backyard. Great communication with the owner. It is about a 4 minute walk to the beach where we sent almost every morning with our pup. There is also a Whole Foods across the road and drug stores close too. The house is pet friendly but very clean. Covered parking is provided right at the front door. Really this is an excellent property provided by a caring host.

Perfect location for us

The unit was spacious and provided plenty of privacy for my husband, daughter, son-in-law and me. It was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. I was able to prepare meals for seven, as my son and his family lived nearby. My 5 year old grandson loved reading the children’s books provided, too. We loved walking to the beach and using the beach chairs provided as well as riding the bikes. Although the backyard was lovely, we were too busy to take full advantage of it. We definitely hope to rent this unit again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Weinberg

Host profile image

Hi there! We’re Troy and Jenny, and we’re so excited to welcome you to Sunshine Stay here in beautiful Jacksonville Beach! We've called the Jacksonville area home for over 20 years and absolutely love sharing our city with others. As a local Realtor and property manager, I’m passionate about creating a comfortable, seamless experience for all our guests. If you have any questions or need anything at all during your stay, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re thrilled to host you and hope you enjoy every minute of your time here!

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it truly offers the best of beachside living! Located east of A1A, it’s just a short stroll to the sand—perfect for morning walks, beach days, or evening strolls. You’ll also find amazing restaurants, coffee shops, and local boutiques all within walking or biking distance. It’s an easy drive to multiple golf courses, beautiful nearby beaches, and the Mayo Clinic, making it both convenient and relaxing. We love how everything you need is right at your fingertips while still feeling like a peaceful coastal escape.

What makes this property unique


What makes this property truly unique is how effortlessly it blends beachside convenience with comfort! Just a short walk to the ocean, you’ll love being so close to the beach—plus, there's rare parking for up to 4 cars (2 covered), which is a total bonus in this area. Enjoy the salty breezes from not one, but *three* outdoor living spaces. We’ve stocked the place with everything you need for the perfect beach day, and yes—we’re dog friendly too, so your furry family members are welcome! And with a split floorplan (Queen/Twin and full bath on ground level; King and full bath on top floor) there's plenty of room to spread out and enjoy your own space.
