The perfect place for relaxing, a family retreat or long-term stay

The perfect place for relaxing, a family retreat or long-term stay. The 3Bd 2Bath home sleeps 15 and has a baby crib. Stone stairs flanked by green ferns draws you to this beautiful southern home in the heart of Jacksonville and only steps away from the St. Johns River in the quiet Riverside community. This home has a very large front porch, the perfect for sipping tea & chatting w/ friends. The living area opens to a dining room w/ seating for 6, ideal for dining or entertaining.

I can be reached around the clock by phone or text for any questions, concerns or comments and strive to ensure a pleasant experience at The Osceola.

Stroll through the charming tree-lined streets of historic Riverside & Avondale for fabulous dining, antique shopping, fun bars and trendy boutiques. View the world-class art collection at the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens and don't miss the exciting 5 Points area for dining and shopping options with a hip, local twist. Listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, Riverside is one of Jacksonville’s oldest and coolest neighborhoods. Just minutes from downtown, the Jaguar Stadium, Veterans Arena Voted as one of the country’s top 10 Great Neighborhoods, Riverside & Avondale have a unique mix of history, culture, charm, and modern design.

You and your party will be the only guests occupying the residence and will have full access to the home.

The Osceola has been completely renovated from top to bottom with spacious yet comfortable rooms. Centrally located, this home is the ideal setting for fun, family, relaxation and more. Every room has smart TVs access to the high-speed Wi-Fi internet. The neighbors are friendly however please be courteous and considerate of others in the neighborhood. No loud noise after 11 pm, minimal food or drinks in bedrooms, no parties or events absolutely No smoking ($300 smoke removal fee.) Please try and keep pets off all furniture ESPECIALLY the beds. If your pet must absolutely be on the furniture please bring your own blanket, sheet or cover to help protect furniture. ALSO, if you bring your pets, please frequently use the vacuum on site to help with shedding. There will be a $50 fee for excessive hair if not. **A good rule of thumb, please leave the space as you found it. Thank you!

There is an extended driveway with plenty of parking available (4-5 cars.) IF extra space is needed please park across the street facing towards the north. There is city transit with several stops near by.

In order to access the front door there is a stoop with several stairs. There is an alternative entrance with less steps that for easier access.

Absolutely H O R R I B L E!!!
Immediately upon entering the home, there was a moldy stale stench. We noticed there were stains on the blankets …the “return” on the floor was filled with leaves and hair….there was used soap left in the bathroom….not clean at all. When we notified the host, he “act” as if he was surprised and stated there had been activity in the house….hmmm. If that was the case, why had they not prepared the home for the next guest? He then apologized and sent us to look at another home which was in the middle of a not so great area…gross and unkempt as well. After informing him of this 2nd disaster, he apologized yet again and told us that if we can, he would gladly accept the cancellation for a refund. When returning to this home to take pictures, our host had deactivated the code so that we could not re-enter and has since not returned any of our calls nor text messages! Ozell Jermaine Smalls….this is TRULY not best business practice! We were out $1800 after driving 6 hours and stranded! We demand our monies back!!! Oh yeah, I failed to mention that after one of my guests fell, we noticed there were blocks missing on the front stairs…HUGE safety concern!

Wonderful
This home is wonderful. It has tons of towels and washcloths. We had 11 people and everyone had a place to sleep and the upstairs was great to have space for people to go and hang. Kitchen was stock very well with everything you need for cooking. Great walking and safe neighborhood. Everyone loved the front porch.

Perfect house for a group!
The house was clean, modern and great for our group. The first floor had 3 bedrooms - one with a twin/full, one with a queen and then a master with a small attached sitting room and bathroom. In addition to the bathroom attached to the master there is a full bath and half bath on the first floor. Upstairs is a loft space with a poker table, 2 tvs, and 2 arcade games. There were 2 daybeds (?full size) with trundle beds underneath. Nice quiet neighborhood. The management company responds to messages nearly immediately and are responsive and accommodating. Definitely recommend!
