Beachy Cottage by the sea
This very rare and adorable 1939 beach cottage just steps from the beach has been beautifully restored to its former glory days. It is located in the heart of Jacksonville Beach and only steps away from the ocean. It is easy walking distance to many shops, festivals, bars, clubs, and restaurants. Everything is right there. Our cottage is suitable for just one couple, several couples, or an entire family getaway. We have a secluded back courtyard where you can simply relax or even have your breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Our kitchen is stocked with cookware, microwave, dishwasher, dishes, utensils, glasses, and of course a coffee pot to start your vacation. The side-by-side fridge has ice and water in the door. You may just find yourself eating out in the terrific local restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance. If not, you can throw chicken/steak/hamburger, etc. on the BBQ grill and enjoy your family picnic in the backyard. Sheets, linens, towels and beach towels are provided. We have beach chairs and umbrellas, boogie boards and a beach cart to take all the toys to the beach. The cottage is also furnished with HD TV, games and books. We also provide WIFI internet service just in case you want to stay in touch with family/friends during your stay. The cottage is equipped with inside washer and dryer to make longer trips away from home easier. We furnished this adorable cottage with nice furnishings, comfortable beds and decorated the place like a home. The cottage still has original wood floors almost throughout the entire house. You will feel it's your home away from home the moment you walk in. Spectacular sunrises greet you on your morning visit to the beach for coffee or stroll and occasionally the dolphins will meet you there. It is known for the flat open beach which makes it great for hanging out at the beach; walking or running, beachcombing and riding beach cruiser bicycles. Playing in the sand and surf is a great way to spend your days, but the fun doesn't stop there!
Since the cottage is at the heart of Jax Beach, you can walk to all the events and festivals within a few minutes without worrying about finding or paying any parking. Many shops and restaurants, featuring local artists and top chefs are within a short walk. Jax Beach Amphitheater hosts many spring and summer festivals featuring well known jazz and blues artists. Jacksonville Beach is a fun filled beach community close to many attractions in sunny/warm Florida. Jacksonville Beach Pier, Adventure Landing, Kathryn Hannah State Park and Mayport Naval Station are nearby. Mayport, an original fish camp, is famous for it’s Mayport shrimp caught fresh daily. Mayo Clinic/Hospital is only 10-15 minutes away. St Augustine, ‘The Nation’s Oldest City', is less than 15 miles away and offers many fun and interesting tourist features, an alligator farm, the Fountain of Youth and Premium Outlet malls.
Don't forget to bring your golf clubs. Home of THE PLAYERS Championship, birthplace of the TPC Network, and backdrop to the PGA TOUR headquarters, the TPC Sawgrass golf course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., 5 miles away, is perhaps the world’s most famous golf course. THE PLAYERS Stadium Course sports one of the most recognizable and challenging holes on the PGA TOUR. The notorious par-3, 17th hole, features an island green that makes or breaks many a PGA TOUR pro’s round. Inquire with any questions or better yet, book it now and we are sure you will fall in love with it. We did!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Our stay was different than most, in that this was not vacation. We had traveled from MO for my daughter to have a complicated hip surgery at Mayo Clinic. We needed a place to stay while she was recuperating & had strict criteria regarding bathroom access, single level accommodations and minimal or no stairs. Prior to booking, I messaged the host Barbara to confirm the accuracy of the listing and explained the situation. She was quick to respond and reassured me and took the time to answer all of my questions This beautiful home met our needs perfectly!While we were here, we had other significant family trials that occurred back home. One of the evenings I had to call Barbara with a question about the thermostat and she casually asked “How’s everything going”. For some reason I poured out all that was on my broken heart to a woman I’ve never laid eyes on. She was incredibly kind and sympathetic to our needs. She was a blessing that I would have never expected and helped my family beyond what I could have expected and I’m confident more than she even knows. We would stay in any property she ever owned simply based on the compassion she showed to us in our time of need. The house is amazing, clean, so cute and private and a short walk to the beach, but the owner…she’s a gem. Thank you Barbara, I will forever be thankful for you!

Wedding/family reunion/vacation
We were at this awesome property to attend my nephew's wedding and a family reunion, and tied our vacation to those events. We could not have been more impressed with the accommodations, as we found the cottage to be fully stocked with everything we needed. The host was very responsive, and we could not think of anything we needed that was not provided. It was the perfect place to relax, or go to the beach, or enjoy one fo the many great restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location
This property is perfect for families with children and elderly parents. Very close to the beach, one story with easy access for entering and exiting the property. Our only suggestion might be that they update the linens and maybe mattresses in the property and the second bathroom. The clawfoot tub, shower was a little tricky and hard to get in and out of for adults.

We had a wonderful time! The beach house is roomy, comfortably furnished, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything you need for your stay. It’s an easy short walk to the beach and restaurants. We definitely would love to return and enjoy the beach house again.

Cute little beach house - literally in prime location for walking the block to the beach. The home is older, but met our needs for a Spring Break vacation. Easy contactless check in and out. Beds were super comfortable. Barbara was great to work with, communicated with us when we booked and again a couple days before. Thanks for a great stay at Jax Beach!

Thanksgiving Holiday
I have stayed in a lot of VRBO properties, this has to be one of the best stocked properties I have ever been in. I needed a well stocked kitchen to prepare Thanksgiving dinner and I got it. The house had everything you could possibly need like bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, coffee, beach towels etc….The house is the perfect beach cottage and made this family vacation one to remember . I would rent this place over and over! Thank you Barbra !

Cute beach cottage steps to the beach. Very well stocked with anything you would need! Beach chairs and toys. Only thing I would add would be a small cooler we flew in so would have been nice.
The beds were very comfy and would definitely return. We did notice all bikes had flat tires. The owner was helpful on places to go. Definitely stay again.

Great Beach Cottage
The Beach cottage was beautiful inside and outside! Short walk to the beach. Incredibly well decorated! The gardens and plants around the cottage were so pretty! Pictures don’t do this place justice!! All the beds were more comfortable than back at home. All amenities were at our fingertips. Barbara was so nice and quick to respond to any questions we had while there! We will be returning back to this beautiful beach cottage! 😊
