About this property

RB | Ocean views and steps from the sand!

Welcome to Big Blue: The Groundswell, a 2-bedroom oceanview apartment just steps from the sand in Jacksonville Beach. This ground floor unit sleeps 6 and puts you 30 seconds from the beach with partial ocean views from the front porch and master bedroom.

Both bedrooms feature queen beds with premium linens, and there's a full bathroom plus a well-equipped kitchen for beach day meal prep. The unit shares an oceanside porch with three other vacation rentals in our 4-unit building — perfect for morning coffee with ocean breezes. Please note that guests use any bunk beds at their own risk per our insurance requirements.

Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen with Keurig coffee maker, in-unit washer and dryer for sandy clothes, and high-speed WiFi for staying connected. Beach towels are provided so you can head straight to the sand. Five shared parking spaces are available first-come, first-served, plus street parking and a public lot next door.

You're a 9-minute walk to Mellow Mushroom for craft beer and pizza, and a 10-minute stroll to Salt Life Food Shack for their famous fish tacos. The Jacksonville Beach pier is just a 2-minute drive for fishing and people-watching. Beaches Town Center with shops and dining is 3 minutes by car.

Keyless entry makes check-in seamless, and we stock essentials like coffee, shampoo, and laundry detergent. Pets are welcome for $30 per day. Please note there's an ongoing city renovation project that may cause minor construction noise or road access limitations — we have 80+ properties across Jacksonville Beach and can help find an alternative if this concerns you.

A refundable security deposit or optional damage waiver may be required. Guests will be given the option to choose between a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver prior to check-in.

Your Nomad Hospitality team responds within an hour with any questions. Need multiple units for a large group? We manage the entire building plus dozens more nearby properties.

Pets are welcome, but NO PETS ON FURNITURE or there will be an additional $150 charge if there is evidence of hair on couch cushions or bedding where it was obvious a pet was laying.

Beachfront vacation

The unit was clen, well appointed, and right near the beach as advertised. Communication with the management team was efficient and prompt. We would not heistate to stay there again - but would seek to rent one of the second floor units with more balcony space and a better view of the ocean.

Cute Property, Great Location

This is a very cute property with a great location! It was footsteps from the beach! The property was clean and the beds were comfortable. You can hear the neighbors walking upstairs, if that bothers you, but it is no worse than a hotel. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend staying at this location.

Right on beach access!

Great for a family of four. Has all the amenities you need except no pool or jacuzzi, but we did not need those. Dogs allowed for a small fee and also allowed on the beach, leased of course. Area was clean and safe. Lots of places to eat that were not too crowded, unlike other places we have traveled to lately.
