I have stayed in many vacation homes and this is the best! Everything you could possibly need. Home decor was inspirational. So close to the beach and restaurants. Sarah was amazing, quick to respond to questions. We would love to come back and stay longer next time.

Great location and property
Overall great stay, although the Florida weather was fickle! House was located within walking distance to restaurants, coffee, and the beach/pier area. House was cozy and comfortable. Bikes and beach chairs came in handy. We didn't use the pool, but the dogs appreciated the fenced outside space. Sarah was a wonderful host, with some thoughtful welcome gifts and snacks. So nice to have coffee for day one! We would definitely recommend this home to anyone.

Home for the holidays
This was our first family Christmas gathering in a vacation rental, and it could not have been better! I will echo the many reviews before ours - Sarah‘s home is lovingly cared for, immaculate, bright and cheery, and very comfortable. It’s clear that Sarah wants her guests to feel at home and enjoy their stay, and she is attentive to many details in that way. She also is as gracious, kind, and responsive as a host could be. We would not hesitate to recommend her home or return again.

Great Family Getaway
House was great for our family of four! It was spotless and had everything we could need. We only used it one morning but the pool lovely and huge. All of the beds were comfy. Only complaint is the water pressure isn't great so it takes a long while for the hot water to hit the faucets/showers. But other than that, everything was perfect.

Totally Awesome
From making the reservations to checking out was a great experience. Sarah was a stellar host! I went for surgery and treatments at the Mayo clinic which I shared with her prior to arriving. While we were there, hurricane Helena was approaching so she brought supplies of water, snacks, flashlights and food, to help out. She also brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers that brightened my weeks of medical procedures. The place is very well equipped plus some and was spotless. Beds were comfortable and decor was subtle and relaxing. Communication was perfect and enjoyable. The bikes and pool were great to have to get around. Location is perfect as was every little detail. This is an absolutely perfect place to stay! Thank you for everything Sarah! I will be returning for more care and hope and pray this is available. I can not say enough about the experience!

Beautiful Home!
I stayed in this home for a business trip to the Jacksonville area. I was very impressed with how well appointed and clean everything was. The backyard was fenced so my dog could run around, and the pool was beautiful and a real treat to come home to. The front MB was perfectly appointed for a great night of rest with and very comfortable bed and private bath. Would definately return and stay in this home again.

We loved this place. It was very clean and bright and had everything we needed. The three bedrooms and three baths provided plenty of space for our family. We really appreciated that we could bring our dog and the nice neighborhood was great for taking them on walks. Sarah was very responsive to any questions I had. I would definitely stay again.

This stay was just what our family needed. Enjoyed plenty of time relaxing by the pool with our kids and dog. Also, we were close enough to the beach, but not too close. The bikes were a huge plus to have so that we did not have to deal with parking when going to the beach or restaurants. Owner was very easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Everything was fantastic. Loved everything about the house and how close proximity it was to the beach.
