The house is located in up and coming Historic Springfield.
The Space:
You'll love all that this home has to offer during your stay.
It is filled with high-end wood trim throughout as well as brand new luxury vinyl planking and curated tile, vanities, and luxurious lighting fixtures.
The downstairs is an open floor plan with a living room, dining room, breakfast bar, and sun room leading out to the backyard deck and spacious fenced in backyard.
You'll also love the spacious master bathroom suite including a large walk in shower, dual vanities and soaking tub.
Outside, enjoy the front porch, 2nd story balcony, and large backyard - perfect for guests with pups.
Please note that the 5th bedroom is an open room adjacent to the kitchen in a room that opens out onto the back deck. It is not a true (enclosed) bedroom.
The 6th bedroom is the top floor of the house and is available to guests whose party size is greater than 10 or larger. If your party size is people or less and you would like access to it this is available for an additional $100/day.
Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire first and second floor with exception of the laundry room. Guests can gain access to this space by paying a fee of $20/day booked at any time during their stay unless their stay is greater than 7 days at which point laundry room access is free of charge.
The 6th bedroom is the top floor of the house and is available to guests whose party size is greater than 10 (11 or larger). If your party size is ten people or less and you would like access to it this is available for an additional $100/day.
The Neighborhood:
Springfield is amazing! It is a diverse, vibrant, up and coming neighborhood located just north of Jacksonville's downtown.
You'll initially fall in love with the gorgeous late 19th/early 20th century houses and expansive parks but you'll want to stay for the amazing people. Join a First Friday party, Second Sunday celebration on Main St or in Klutho Park, or check out the monthly Main Street cruise, downtown's Art Walk, Porchfest, or one of the annual home tours.
Furthermore, check out some of the great new businesses that have opened on Main St!
Social Grounds Coffee, 1748 Bakehouse, Crispy’s Springfield Gallery, Strings Sports Brewery, Historically Hoppy Brewery, Hyperion Brewery, Wafaa & Mike’s Mediterranean Café, Fred Cotten’s BBQ, and Uptown Kitchen are all fantastic local establishments that are a short walk from your home.
The neighborhood is diverse in many senses - if you are looking for a gated community this property may not be a good fit for you. If you're looking for a vibrant urban community then you'll love staying with us here!
Getting Around:
Public transportation is minimal in Jacksonville in general. You are a few blocks north of the downtown bus terminal if you would like to use that.
There is also the Skyway if you would like to take a short trip around the urban core area.
Uber and Lyft both operate in Jacksonville so these are excellent resources if you don't feel like driving/don't have access to a car.
Other Things to Note:
PLEASE CONTACT US PRIOR TO BOOKING IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW RENTAL AGREEMENT.
We charge for additional guests above a fixed amount. This amount and additional charge varies by unit type, size, and configuration. If you input the correct guest count when you make your reservation the amount the booking site indicated as the total cost will not change (due to guest count). We ask for confirmation of guest count after you complete your booking. If you need to increase your guest count after booking confirmation due to a booking error, this could result in a price increase. Finally, we verify guest count via external cameras located on our properties. In the event that we notice a guest count at the property that is higher than reported, we reserve the right to ask for additional guest fees that would be double the amount we would have charged prior to check-in.
Kindly refer to the following guidelines regarding fees for extra guests:
Studio & 1 BR units - $25 per guest/night after 2 guests (i.e. 3 guests would be $25/night extra and 4 guests would be $50/night extra)
2 BR units - $30 per guest/night after 4 guests (i.e. 5 guests would be $30/night extra and 6 guests would be $60/night extra)
3 BR unit - $35 per guest/night after 6 guests (i.e. 7 guests would be $35/night extra and 8 guests would be $70/night extra)
4 BR units - $40 per guest/night after 8 guests (i.e. 9 guests would be $40/night extra and 10 guests would be $80/night extra)
5 BR+ units - $45 per guest/night after 10 guests (i.e. 11 guests would be $45/night extra and 12 guests would be $90/night extra)
This house is pet friendly so if you are highly allergic to dogs or cats this home may not be a good fit for you. Our cleaning service is very good but you may notice an occasional dog/cat hair here and there.
We charge a pet fee of $50/night per pet that you bring with you. This reduces to $300/week per pet and $500/month per pet for longer term guests. This fee is not included in the accommodation fare rate. We will send a request for the additional funds once the number of pets is confirmed after booking.
***If you neglect to inform us ahead of time that you are bringing a pet with you then I reserve the right to either TERMINATE your stay early or DOUBLE the pet fee retroactively for the entirety of your reservation.***
We have a washer and dryer available to longer term guests (staying with us > 1 week) for free. We generally do not give shorter term guests access to it but may allow access for a fee of $20 per day booked. Please send us the payment via a special offer and we will provide the code for access.
If you are local to Jax and book for less than 7 days we reserve the right to ask you to cancel your reservation. We rarely make an exception to policy but may elect to do so at our sole discretion.
Also, Saturday check-ins and check-outs are (generally) not allowed unless you are booking a stay that is >7 days, with the exception of some specific weekends (FL-GA and TPC Sawgrass weekends are a few examples) . I may allow an exception to this policy (depending on the specific weekend and season) but reserve the right not to do so or to ask you to modify of cancel a reservation starting or ending on a Saturday.
The following additional charges apply to late check outs/early arrivals, assuming I can offer this at all (I often can’t so please never assume this will be allowed):
1 hr or less early arrival or late departure: $100
1-2 hr early arrival/late departure: $200
2-3 hr early arrival/late departure: $300
3+ hr early arrival/late departure: $100/hr or the cost of an additional night’s stay, whichever is more
These fees are primarily in place to highly discourage late checkouts/early arrivals since this causes my cleaning service undue stress to prep the unit prior to your or the next set of guest’s arrival. This also increases the need for them to rush/cut corners, increasing the likelihood of them not cleaning the unit to the high standard which I hold them to.
***Smoking is strictly forbidden anywhere on the property - the house, front porch, back deck, or front or back yard***
***If we find cigar/cigarette butts of any kind on the property or evidence of smoking (ash on porch, deck, empty cigarette packs, etc.) We assess a $500 cleaning fee in addition to the regular cleaning fee***
There is a propane grill on the back deck with grill utensils and grill cleaner in the kitchen. We do not supply propane but you are welcome to pick up a tank and leave what you don’t use for a future guest. After using the grill please clean it with the supplied grill cleaner/steel brush in order to avoid additional cleaning fees.
Finally, guests are strictly forbidden from bringing firearms or items associated with them (including guns, bullets, gunpowder, shells, magazines, silencers, etc.) on this property whether or not they are licensed. If you violate this policy or we find evidence that you did (e.g. firearms or bullets are discovered by our cleaners following your stay) we will assess a $1000 fine.
The 6th bedroom is the top floor of the house and is available to guests whose party size is greater than 6 (7 or larger). If your party size is six people or less and you would like access to it this is available for an additional $50/day.
For guests requiring a pack n play, high chair, or any other non-standard item, please submit your request at least 7 days before check-in to ensure availability. If the request is made less than 7 days prior to check-in, we will make every effort to accommodate it, but cannot guarantee availability.
Interaction with Guests:
Our office is only a block away and most days someone is there during business hours to assistance if needs be.
