Welcome to your slice of paradise in Jacksonville Beach! 🌴🏠

Get ready to live the beach life in this 3-bed, 3-bath beach house – because why not have a blast while feeling right at home? 😎

Inside, you've got everything sorted – a fully loaded kitchen (yes, we mean everything!), a dining room that's perfect for those family feasts or game nights, and a cozy living room for Netflix marathons or just chilling out.

But wait, there's more – step outside and behold your own personal oasis! A spacious backyard with a large heated saltwater pool is waiting for those lazy afternoon dips or evening swims under the stars. It’s all yours, just steps away from the comfort of your bedroom slippers.

And guess what? The beach is practically calling your name – just a quick 1/2 mile stroll and you've got sand between your toes and waves to ride. Plus, this gem is nestled in a calm, residential nook, so peace and quiet are part of the deal. Yet, when you're feeling fancy, stroll down the street to discover a lively array of restaurants, bars, and entertainment options.

Laundry room? Oh yeah, we've got that covered too. Because who wants to haul a suitcase full of dirty laundry back home?

This spot is all about balance – tranquility when you need it, and excitement just around the corner. So, whether you're planning a family getaway, a hangout with friends, or even a solo escape, this is the spot to be. Come make memories and let the good times roll! 🌊☀️

Wedding weekend in Jax Beach

We had an awesome weekend in Jax Beach celebrating our daughter’s wedding. This house was perfect, and had all the accommodations we were looking for. It was so clean and comfortable and decorated nicely. Sarah was quick to respond when I had a question. We definitely recommend this home.

Home for the holidays

This was our first family Christmas gathering in a vacation rental, and it could not have been better! I will echo the many reviews before ours - Sarah‘s home is lovingly cared for, immaculate, bright and cheery, and very comfortable. It’s clear that Sarah wants her guests to feel at home and enjoy their stay, and she is attentive to many details in that way. She also is as gracious, kind, and responsive as a host could be. We would not hesitate to recommend her home or return again.

Great Family Getaway

House was great for our family of four! It was spotless and had everything we could need. We only used it one morning but the pool lovely and huge. All of the beds were comfy. Only complaint is the water pressure isn't great so it takes a long while for the hot water to hit the faucets/showers. But other than that, everything was perfect.

Peaceful and well appointed

Enjoyed our time despite the weather not being favorable. Found great restaurants nearby. Had plenty of space to spread out when needed but loved having a table for card games and a cozy living room to gather for movies.

Beautiful Home!

I stayed in this home for a business trip to the Jacksonville area. I was very impressed with how well appointed and clean everything was. The backyard was fenced so my dog could run around, and the pool was beautiful and a real treat to come home to. The front MB was perfectly appointed for a great night of rest with and very comfortable bed and private bath. Would definately return and stay in this home again.

Loved it!

We loved this place. It was very clean and bright and had everything we needed. The three bedrooms and three baths provided plenty of space for our family. We really appreciated that we could bring our dog and the nice neighborhood was great for taking them on walks. Sarah was very responsive to any questions I had. I would definitely stay again.

Great Stay!

This stay was just what our family needed. Enjoyed plenty of time relaxing by the pool with our kids and dog. Also, we were close enough to the beach, but not too close. The bikes were a huge plus to have so that we did not have to deal with parking when going to the beach or restaurants. Owner was very easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

This Jax Beach home was the perfect for a family gathering. Had three bedrooms and three full baths. Plenty of space for six adults. Pool is extremely large and perfect for cooling off. House is very clean and we loved the bikes for getting to the beach.

Beautiful home and location!

We use VRBO at least once a year, sometimes more and this was the first home that had almost everything we needed! Sarah thinks of everything and makes sure that you feel like you are home. She is also very quick to respond to any questions and never makes you feel like you are bothering her.

Everything the web page say and much more 5 stars!

The property exceeded our expectations. It is a spacious, beautifully decorated and appointed oasis! It is close to beaches, shopping and grocery stores, but private and secluded. The host was very responsive and accomodating. We will stay here on our next visit to Jax.

Cool Pool and Beach Getaway

Stayed here with my brother's family (kids) and had a great time. Incredibly well decorated.The layout is perfect for multiple adults or adults and kids. The pool is warm and large with plenty of floaties and toys to keep everyone entertained. Available bikes and accessible beach and pier for beach time and fishing added to the fun!

Well maintained updated modern home w/pool

We were 4 minutes drive to the beaches, in a quiet established neighborhood. The landscaping in the backyard is tropical and the heated pool was huge. The house is updated inside and very comfortable. The communication from Sarah M was excellent.
