Mayport Village: (Nearby: Fishing Beach Military Base)

Our family wanted an entire home near Mayport Naval Station and this house did not disappoint! This home was very nicely decorated with a beach motif and was very clean. The house is located near the St. Johns River and Ferry boat for easy access to ride across the river. Within walking distance is a delightful neighborhood coffee shop and a seafood restaurant with seats right near the river! We loved hearing the helicopters from the naval base all around us and enjoyed watching their training. The owner of the house was extremely timely in her responses to any of our questions--she was very helpful. We would highly suggest this vacation home for families and even if you have pets--it's very pet friendly. We will definitely be back!

Darling cottage

Adorable cottage in the heart of Mayport within walking distance to seafood restaurants. Very close to the ferry so make a trip across that for more fun on that side of the river. Plenty to do and see. Less crowded over there and lots of parks to go to and beaches to drive on. Head to Hanna Park by the Naval Station for a great beach if you want something close by. The house was comfy as were the beds. Cute place in a great location.

Home away from Home in Mayport, Fl.

I brought my elderly mother and my 9 year old nephew to visit my sister and her family that are stationed at the Mayport naval base. My brother from Texas also joined us for part of the week. This property met the needs of all of us staying at the house. The accessibility was great for my mother who has mobility issues and my nephew loved the house and walks in the neighborhood, including a visit from an ice cream truck. For me it was a very comfortable place to rest and relax. The distance to the naval base was perfect for visiting my sister’s family as well as a short drive to a public beach. Jamie was very responsive to all my inquiries. The house is truly a comfortable home away from home.

Cutest rental in Mayport

This is my second year staying in this lovely home. Everything you could possibly need other than food is provided. The beds are the most comfortable I've ever slept on, and the decor in the house gave a very calming vibe. The ferry is right there, so you have access to all kinds of beaches, and neat historical sites. I hope to return next year! Check in and check out is super easy, and the owner is very quick to respond to any questions you may have.

Florida getaway

The house was fine. The area was a little sketchy. The restaurant down the street did not have good seafood, so we were disappointed. Didn’t know about Hannah Park until we were leaving, so we drove long distances to find a beach. The Escape Room in Jacksonville was the highlight of our trip.

The perfect vacation home!

My husband and I chose this house for a quiet week away from work and other responsibilities of life- and we were very happy with our choice of places to stay! The house was very clean, comfortable and accommodating of what we needed to make it a home for the time we were there. Quiet location that was close to everything we wanted to do. Restaurants, stores and beaches. It was a perfect place to end a day out. Jaimie checked in on our first day to make sure we were happy and was quick to answer any questions we had. We will definitely consider this location again when we come back.

This is now my 4th time, maybe 5th, using this house. And it is always amazing to stay at! Jamie is always responsive with everything and if there’s any issues, which I haven’t had any yet, she deals with them immediately.

Family Emergency trip

Unfortunately, the purpose of this trip was a sad one. My mother passed away, and I had to make funeral arrangements. Staying at this house, which was quite lovely, clean, and comfortable, helped because it was one less thing I had to worry about. I think the hosts for their accommodations, and I would definitely suggest this house as a rental

Good time

We enjoyed our stay. Taking the ferry to Ft. George and hanging out on Little Talbot was the highlight. The beds were comfy. My only recommendation is oils be 100% cotton sheets, the current sheets are microfiber which are comfy, but make you sweat!!!!

Great central location!

We enjoyed our stay at Jaimie’s place. We wanted to go up to Fernandina Beach and down to St. Augustine-this location was perfect. I also wanted my son to experience the St. John’s River Ferry, which is right down the street. Hanna Park Beach is super close and beautiful. The house is comfortable and the neighborhood quiet. Jaimie was super attentive, checking in to make sure we had everything we needed and promptly answering any texts. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you so much! Jamie

Nice place

Overall the property was great. The house was clean the beds were comfortable and the location convenient. The few downsides were the dressers. Each room had one three drawer dresser however since they were sitting on the carpet you were unable to use the bottom drawer because it was to difficult to pull out. Also the back yard was not as big as we had expected, and the wifi name and password had been changed from what we were originally told. Overall tho we were very pleased with our stay.

Hello! My name is Jaimie. I grew up in the Midwest but now have set my roots in Jacksonville, Florida! I have a deep passion for travel and experiencing new cultures. I’m a flight attendant so I’m one of the lucky few who get paid to travel and I wouldn’t have it any other way! As a traveler I know the importance of having a “home away from home” and hope to provide that to anyone traveling to Jacksonville!

Why they chose this property

Mayport is incredibly beautiful and located near everything you need to have a fun water getaway!

What makes this property unique

Mayport is 5 miles from the beach and even closer to the boat ramps to launch your boat for a great weekend getaway!
