About this property

Swim in Large Salt Water Pool, Ride Bikes, Relax On Deck, Enjoy Theater Room

Large sprawling 4 bedroom home with a lot of amenities: 25,000 gallon salt water pool, large covered patio and patio deck, fire pit and inside theater room.

The first thing that you notice when you walk in this house, is that you feel like you are in a comfortable home, your home, not a rental. It is a beautiful, relaxing home that will immediately put you at ease after a day of work or travel.

You are in a peaceful, quiet, safe established residential neighborhood. You will see neighborhood children outside playing in their front yard. There aren't any cars speeding up and down the street. Neighbors are quiet and friendly. Many have lived there their entire lives.

The home is perfectly set up for entertaining either inside or out, or just have a quiet relaxing day by the pool. No worries, the entire back yard is enclosed with a privacy fence.

The backyard is the place to relax is almost any season. The patio sees sun from sunrise to sunset. There are 4 lounge chairs for use to lay out in the sun, or you can stay in the shade under covered part of the patio where there are 4 chairs and a patio table.

Bring your bikes. We are located 2 miles from the Jacksonville Baldwin Rail Trail for a nice bike ride, walk or jog.

We also have another property nearby, on a creek, with kayaks. Just tell us in advance so I have these ready and available for use at that location.

The pool is open year-round, but most comfortable March through November. Spend the day on the laying out on the -deck or swimming in the pool. Build a fire in the fire pit and grill out. Most of the time we have available firewood to have a fire in the fire pit. You can grill on the charcoal grill or try out the " Green Egg" grill.

Inside, one of the bedrooms has been setup as a 9-seat theater room, for a "movie night" or football game. This room does have a folding couch and a sliding door for privacy, if it is to be used as a bedroom. Inside the hallway closet, there are board games, Battleship, Monopoly and others. There are also plenty of DVDs from all periods, for you to view.

This home has a formal Dining Room, which make it great for a special dinner with guests, or even business travelers have held meetings in that room.

The Living room and Front Entrance area, have 3 pullout, queen size, couches for additional sleeping options with extra guests. There is extra linens in each closet.

The electronics are as follows. The internet is XFINITY and the TV use a Direct Stream TV subscription which is found using the Roku box. We also have local channels on some of the TVs. Feel free to "log on" if you have another subscription service, that you prefer to use on the availabkle Roku Ap Menu. All bedrooms have a TV with a Roku box. The theater room TV has a Roku box and has Smart DVD/BluRay player. There is stereo receiver in the Theater Room. The Living Room TV, has a sound bar.

We are right off I10 and 295, which makes travel quick and easy to all Jacksonville and surrounding locations. Jacksonville Beach is about a 35 minute drive. We have a lot of visitors who come into town for Jags games, FL/GA game and concerts. They all seem to like the easy accessibility to downtown Jacksonville and is not a far ride for Uber or Lyft.

If there is a place you will be going to visit, please let me know, and I can give approximate distance and travel time.

I hope that you decide to stay, and I am even more excited when I have a repeat guest. Please ask any question if there is something which I did not provide.

Reunion and more in Florida

My wife and my son and his wife and our two teenage grandsons spent the week at this property while we isit attended a family reunion in Baker County, then dinner and a performance of West Side Story at the Alhambra in Jacksonville, and a trip to Universal Studios in Orlando. This was a comfortable and well-appointed place to return to every evening to relax, stretch out, unwind, and get a good night's sleep. We spent the last full day of our visit playing in the pool, watching streaming films and just taking it easy. The pool is great! The owner provides lots of inflatable rafts and pool toys to use and there are plenty of places to sit around the pool deck and patio. The location is easily accessible off I-10 and there are plenty of shops and stores and restaurants in the area. We are looking forward to staying there again.

Visiting family

Looking for a place to stay while in town to visit family. This location was close, gave us all the space we needed, and was quite comfortable. And bonus-the master bathroom shower had a grab bar for my 86 year old mom. Tim was a great host! Keeping his number for future visits!

Great Home in a great location

Spending time with my kids & parents before school started. It was the perfect place for kids and grownups. It was clean, well maintained, and the pool & movie rooms were a huge hit! The West Jax location was convenient to I-10 and 295. The host was easy to reach and work with. We’ll definitely be staying here again in the future.

Week of 4th of July

The house was very spacious and very accomodating. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and outdoor patio. We visited Jax Beach twice about 45 min drive. Downtown Jacksonville is nice and clean. Close proximity to St Augustine so enjoyed a day there. Many choices of eateries and restaurants around the area. Thanks so much Tim for your hospitality. Already looking forward to returning next Summer.

Great experience!

My sister and I stayed here with our soouses and toddlers and it was a fantastic vacation. The house is suitable for kids and was clean. Communication with the owner was pleasant and easy. We were able to use the pool and grill. And any and all info we could possibly want or need about the house and neighborhood was conveniently provided in a binder at the house. It really seems this owner went above and beyond to make his guests happy. We will be staying here every year we return to this area. Really great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Barnes

Host profile image
Originally from Upstate Western New York, and relocated to Jacksonville in 2000. Permanently settled here and consider Jacksonville my home. I am a partner in my own sales company and travel usually mid week, but do live only 3 miles from this home and will stop in on occasion to make sure that all is good with your stay. I am very active so I know a lot of the out door places to visit like parks, beaches, recreational areas, kayak launches, bike trails. I really enjoy the area a lot as there are many things to do within easy driving distance.

Why they chose this property

You feel like you are in your own home, not a rental property. Very comfortable, it is a very relaxing and peaceful atmosphere inside or outside this home.

Quiet and Safe neighborhood. Neighbors are friendly. Close to highway and easy drive to many attractions. Rest and relax at home or enjoy the local area.

Large Pool and Patio Deck to entertain family and friends. Jump in the pool, play corn toss on the patio, or just lounge on the pool deck. Later in the day, start a fire in the Fire Pit. Grill out, I have a Green Egg style grill, in addition to a basic charcoal grill and Fire Pit, for cooking. Plenty of parking. Bring your friends.

If weather does not cooperate, you can still hang out under the patio canopy, or inside watch a DVD or kids can play video games or watch movie in the 9 seat Theater Room.

The formal dining room accommodates 8 people at the dining room table for fantastic family get togethers.

Walk, Jog or Ride bikes, on the Jacksonville Baldwin Trail which is 2 miles away. Many wonderful parks for kids to play.

Kayak on one of many waterways in the North East FL, or go tubing in some of the springs. We are only 5 miles from a public boat launch so feel free to bring your boat.

Under 5 miles drive to check out some of the many excellent local places to eat in the 5 Points, Riverside, Avondale area.

Spend a day at Atlantic or Jacksonville Beach. Only 30 minutes away. Beach chairs, cooler, and sun umbrella are provided. But come back to the peaceful quiet home.

Really easy to get around to some out unique areas Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, St. Augustine, St. Simons Island, Jekyl Island. Explore so hidden gems with a short drive.
