Mer-Mazing Poolside Estate
Welcome to Mer-mazing Poolside Estate! Enjoy the fully fenced in and private backyard, complete with a heated saltwater pool! Let the kids play on the swing set while you bask in the sun. Greenery and wildlife will perpetuate your peaceful relaxation. Inside is an open concept living/dining area with tall, vaulted ceilings - perfect for family gatherings. 5 spacious bedrooms and 3 full baths will make for a great night's rest, along with solid wood interior doors that keep noise to a minimum.
Home is located on a quiet street and has been updated throughout with top of the line finishes. At approximately 2600 sq ft, you should find it to have ample room for multiple families. There is an additional 500 sq ft in the garage which is used as the game room. It is heated/cooled, however it will most likely vary some from the house temp as it is not as well insulated and the thermostat is located inside the house.
The pool is HUGE and has a sunshelf for the kids to play on!
Hooked up is a whole house water softener that will leave your skin feeling soft! Not to mention there are a total of 3 water heaters which will make it tough to run out of hot water.
Master bedroom is large with a walk-in closet. Master bath contains probably the largest soaker tub you have ever seen. Shower has 3 shower heads - one regular, one rain shower head, and another sliding head for regular showering or shaving legs, etc. You can change the function to use 2 of the 3 at the same time.
Each bedroom has a smart Roku TV.
Indoor fireplace is functioning. You will need to buy your own wood/fake logs. Outdoor firepit is located in the middle of the table by the umbrella and will require logs/wood as well.
*****If you would like to heat the pool, it will be an additional $125.00/day to do so. Please let us know at least 2 days in advance if possible, so we can make sure it is perfect for you!
**Occasionally you will hear the sound of planes flying over as they return to the Navy base across the river. It's really not bad and doesn't last long, but if you are EXTREMELY sensitive to noise/planes then it might not be the best fit for you.
***No Parties or Events Allowed*** This includes but is not limited to birthday parties, baby showers, wedding receptions, family reunions, BBQs/Pool Parties with a large amount of friends and family not staying at the house, etc. If you are found in violation of this rule, you may be asked to leave the house immediately with no refund. If you are unsure about a situation, please message us before you book for approval. Thank you!
***We will not be able to issue refunds for anything out of our control - including but not limited to weather, wildlife, acts of God, an emergency on your end, etc. We highly recommend obtaining travel insurance if you are at all concerned about having to cancel your trip within the non-refundable window of our cancellation policy***
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 3 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. The bathroom offers a rainfall showerhead and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

Great Getaway
My family and I had an amazing time! The house is located conveniently to I-95 making it easy to commute to the beach etc. We really enjoyed the pool with the sun shelf for the kiddos (aged 5-1) and the playset in the backyard. The hosts, neighbors, and pool cleaner were all super friendly and helpful!

Great Gathering Spot for Friends or Families!
Reserved this for 8 travelers and it fit us all comfortably! 4 full size bedrooms, including a massive master suite, plus an office with twin beds that served as a great 5th bedroom , plus a pull out gave us more than ample space for our group. The open floor plan allows everyone to have space and not be on top of each other. Ping Pong & Pool Tables in garage were an added bonus. Pool and backyard play area were great and would be good for families with kids. Quiet neighborhood. Hosts are great communicators and property was as described! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Beautiful area
The home is located in a beautiful area of Jacksonville and accessible to amenities.
4 stars for cleanliness was more Mother Nature and pollen than anything else as the outside cushions were full of wet sticky pollen. The pool was clean! Inside the home everything was very clean!

Great for large families
This house was exactly as described on VRBO. We had 10 adults and two babies each family had their own sleeping space which was very nice. The pool area and the small playground was a big plus for the kids and for the adults as well! Close proximity to grocery stores made stocking up easy! There were just a few things that Needed attention, and I spoke with the owners. They seemed very receptive and appreciative of the feedback. I would definitely stay at this property again, and highly recommend it to large families!

pleasant stay
For the most part our stay was very pleasant. The owner did respond when we had a hot water issue. However , he broke the attic stairwell and it dropped down and we had to skirt around it for a couple of days .Also I wish the backyard had been treated for mosquitos. They were vicious!
