POOLGUARD Inground Pool Alarm (AVAILABLE BY REQUEST) The Poolguard In-Ground Pool Alarm is certified by NSF International and meets the ASTM Safety Specification F-2208. With advanced electronic sensors, it effectively detects pool entry by children, pets, or intruders. Its innovative sensing technology minimizes false alarms caused by wind, rain, or small objects entering the water.
PET FRIENDLY: We warmly welcome four-legged CANINE friends. No cats, please. (They don't like the beach!) There is a Pet Fee of $150 per pet. When you reserve, please be sure to indicate if you will have animals with you. This is REQUIRED. By booking with your dog or dogs, you are agreeing that you have reviewed and agree to the following guidelines: Maximum limit allowed: 3 dogs NO aggressive or unsocialized dogs will be permitted to stay on the property. Must be completely house-trained or kept in a kennel when left alone.
Our beach communities are incredibly welcoming to animals. Due to our wonderful weather most of the year, you can easily take your furry friend to many restaurants or bars with outdoor seating available, and they will provide them with water and head pats.
Welcome to this property is managed exclusively by Welcome Home Rentals Jax Beach.
A POOL SAFETY FENCE is available upon request prior to check-in
POOL HEATERS: The pool heaters are electric and draw in heat from the outside air warmed by the sun. Heat pump pool heaters work efficiently if the outside temperature exceeds the 45–50°F range. When temperatures drop below 45°F, the heaters will not be able to reach a comfortable temperature for swimming. Although we rarely experience lows below 45°F, it can happen during the winter months. Thank you for your understanding.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a sofa bed.

Awesome place
I will definitely stay there again. Beautiful location, safe for the whole family. Loved the bedrooms and bathroom. Fully stock kitchen. Amazing deck and pool. Yard games and house were a hit for the kids. The only thing I will recommend is to add a TV in the front bedroom and a shower to the half bathroom for the ones using the bedroom in the first floor, as they were the elderley the front bat

Thank you for the great stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this home. It was roomy, comfortable and VERY accommodating! The fact that the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and the backyard were stocked full of everything we needed was absolutely amazing! The only complaint we had was that the floors needed an extra mop down. Other than that, we were completely impressed with this home! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Graduation Family Weekend
The property was perfect for us and everything about it was exactly as pictured. The neighborhood was beautiful with older homes and tall oaks covered in moss that canopy the roads. We walked in the evenings and jogged to beach in the mornings. We played pool and shuffleboard and swam in the pool and grilled. It was everything we wanted for our family gathering. The bedrooms were lovely and beds were comfortable- extra blankets for the couches would have been nice. They had all the extras that you wouldn’t have to bring, coolers and chairs and pool toys too. We really enjoyed our stay!

Who Dey
The sandcastle was the perfect place for our family to gather for a wonderful long weekend in Jax visiting St Augustine, Jax Beach and the Beautiful stadium for a Who Dey Monday night win! The hosts are very accommodating and everything in the home was perfect. It was a cloudy weekend so the pool, putting green, pool table and other amenities were perfect. I’d definitely rent from the Sandcastle again.

Great Jax Beach HQ
We had a nice time meeting family here, plenty of space, great backyard and pool. The games and activities were fun, especially the mini golf. Our only issue was A/C not keeping the upstairs cool in the afternoon/evening, however, the magmnt was very responsive and made some repairs that significantly improved temperature for our last couple days.

One snag, parking is limited to 4 cars but they have room for 7 cars. You have to shuttle people from a parking place blocks away. Not mentioned in listing or reviews.

Sibling reunion
This is our 2nd annual sibling reunion. There were 6 of us. The house sold us on where along the coast we would stay. It was stocked with EVERYTHING and more that we needed. There was plenty of beautiful room's to choose from. We girl's wanted a private pool to soak in and get caught up on each other's life's. Even the guy's got in and enjoyed a soak after a day of golf. The biggest hit of all was the "Bags!" Everyone got into a daily, friendly competition of corn hole.
Well done!

A perfect fit!
Myself, my hubs, our two girls and their families stayed for 3 days immediately after Christmas. The home is so open it was perfect without overcrowding. 4 king size beds were perfect! A Queen downstairs for 2 two talkative teen girl cousins was perfect. Bonus points for artificial grass so the nerf war participants didn’t need to be hosed off before coming in. As we had anticipated, being local residents, we knew the pool heater wouldn’t keep up with the 20* temps….disappointing, but expected. The fire pit made up for it. Let’s just say…..this place is truly perfect! Communication was immediate. Over abundance of beach supplies, lots of gaming activities for the kids. Only one little downside….and it may have been us….the remotes for the fans upstairs seem to work other rooms plus their own. I was downstairs in the ginormous primary so didn’t affect me lol. Will definitely be back!!!!!
