Great Location and Excellent Hosts

This location is ideal and the house is super cute with all the amenities you need. We stayed here for a business trip and it was perfect for our needs. I made an error when booking and booked the wrong dates - arrived at the airport and realized the error. Made a quick phone call to VRBO who gave me the contact number of the host and they were kind enough to change the dates. No hassle at all. I will definitely stay here again when in Jax.

Family Time In Jax

Everything about our stay was exactly as advertised! The TVs were a bit of a challenge for my father to operate, but we worked it out. Lastly, but most importantly…the beds were the most comfortable we’ve experienced in any place not our home, EVER!! A+

3 of us came to visit our friend, who works for Jumbo Shrimp. Proximity to downtown, nearby food and stadium was excellent. Only downside is the untimely trains. But nothing they could do about this.

Nice and clean

The place was clean and nice. Perfect for what we needed. Located 5 minutes away from downtown. Publix is a 5 minute walk. One thing is the train the goes by late hours of night. But it went by quick and we got used to it. Would totally stay there again.

Good solid base for a visit

Nothing too fancy. AC was a blessing for us northerners. Good location to stores and shops and the venue for graduation. House is older, but well kept. The ice dispenser in the fridge wasn't working, but you could still get the ice from inside.

Great Little House Near Downtown Jax

I was in town for business but needed to take my dog so a house was preferable. The place was perfect. Everything was clean and organized. The main bedroom has an adjacent huge office area. The owners were very helpful. My only minor negative comment is I wish the yard was fully fenced.

A place to lite to get ready for the night.

Older well kept house. Backs up to a school and nice redone house in upward transitioning neighborhood. We walked to the small business district where we ate. Beds were comfortable as was the sitting area. The kitchen was not too well stocked with cooking item so best be looking to eat out. No grill and outside porch is small. Claw foot tub is a challenge getting in and out and there is no rubber mat to keep you from slipping.

Cute quaint house

This was a great little house. Very close to the city. Close to shopping and the quaint places to eat are within walking distance. The center of San Marco had a little gazebo and benches, within walking distance from the house. The thermostat took a little getting used to. We’re old school and it’s high tech. It kept turning itself to the preset settings all by itself. We would wake up freezing in the middle of the night. We finally figured it out though. 😆 It was a great place to stay for spring break. 💕

Delightful...

We recently traveled to San Marco/Jacksonville, FL for a few days. We had a really nice trip. Our hosts were attentive, friendly and pleasant. The house was very nice. The kitchen is well done, the dining room and living room were very nice. There were 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, a laundry and an extra room. All were clean and well kept. Frankly, I hated to come home. The neighbors were friendly. We had our small dog with us and I felt safe walking him on all but 1 street. The house is walking distance from several restaurants and a Publix. When we return to San Marco I hope this property is available.

This is an older neighborhood that appears to be undergoing a resurgence and facelift. The property has a great location, walkable to coffee shops, restaurants and San Marco square. Cute shops and restaurants. Older home that has been restored. Property manager was very responsive.
