The cutest little guest house was so cozy and had lovely views of the water. The host provided gifts of wine and biscotti. There was plenty of bottled water. Coffee creamer was brand new. She went above the normal amenities we previously have received with rentals. Loved the location as it was in between the beaches and downtown. Would love to return sometime.

Great little gem and so private

Nice cozy spot for two. We travel with a lot of our own food so having a full kitchen was a major bonus. Comfy bed and all we needed. Beautiful location and nice evening sitting outside with our pups. Gracious attentive host always available for any questions. We will be back!

Awesome stay

Property was very clean, comfortable and above all cozy. Loved everything about this heavenly cottage. Safe and secure for a mature lady visiting on her own or any professional looking for their home away from home. My stay was idyllic and I am hoping to book again in the future. Deborah was a wonderful hostess and made sure I was safe and secure.

Perfect Getaway!

Adorable, quaint cottage decorated with such thoughtfulness and creativity. We were greeted with snacks, wine, sparkling water, and a fridge full of bottled water. We had everything we needed for our weekend away. The hostess was quick to respond to any questions and recommended great places for shopping and dining. We will definitely visit again if we are in Jacksonville in the future.
