Lovely little cottage

The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. It was set back on a quiet street. Our host was nice and very quick to respond to the few messages that I sent. If I'm ever in the Jacksonville area again I wouldn't mind staying there again.

Never again!

Would not stay again! Pictures not accurate. Furniture uncomfortable, the little they had. Not happy with stay. The only thing enjoyable were our day trips away from there!

Quiet, relaxing stay

We came to Jacksonville for a sports tournament and we were pleased to see how close we were to all locations. We had less than 10 minute drives in all directions. Having the Wawa at the top of the street was a huge bonus! When we arrived, the cottage is rather close to the main house on the property but there was no interference with the residents. The neighborhood was very quiet. We found the main bedroom to be immediately as you walk in making the bottom floor more of a studio feel than a closed off bedroom. The upstairs was a great space to watch TV and feel cozy and there was a space heater available. There were plenty of clean towels, great water pressure, 1.5 bathrooms which was a plus and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Perfect size for three on a no fuss getaway!
