Communication with host was fantastic. Cottage was clean and the bed was super comfortable. Very cute and cozy. The path leading to the cottage definitely needs some work. The stepping stones were nearly covered by grass and uneven. There is a light that comes on when you come through the gate. However, the small disc lights that are along the path were not very bright and were obstructed by grass. There needs to be more lights either next to the front door or on the corner of the cottage. It was very dark when we came in after dark. The plants along the path need trimming especially near the gate. They were hanging over the path.
The place was great. I felt very safe staying there by myself. I had a little difficulty finding the place because I didnât see the house numbers. I had to drive past it a few times before I took a chance. Other that it was a great stay, would book again.
The place was amazing. My wife and I flew in for an extended weekend stay. The bed was comfy, the place was clean and well set up. You can use the pool, and you have your own parking spot. Itâs very quiet and in a good neighborhood plus youâre within walking distance from everything you could need. The property owner was very nice and youâd never know they were even there. Would recommend!
Absolutely perfect place for my husband & I. Simple, clean, used the pool most days. Able to utilize cute little fridge & microwave. LuAnn & Andy were informative & gracious hosts. Would def stay again.
We booked this cute cottage because it is 2 doors away from our daughter's home. Though we usually stay with her, it was not convenient this particular weekend. We loved having our "own" place to retreat to (within walking distance) at the end of the day. Hostess LuAnn was most accommodating and really easy to work with!
A sweet spot nestled in a charming neighborhood! Walking distance to a wonderful park and a boulevard lined with shops and restaurants. Host is friendly and easy to communicate with-I enjoyed my stay and will book it again!
Parking very difficult, as you have to back into traffic which is difficult to see. The bedroom is okay, but the kitchen area leaves much to be desired. We were not able to get hot water in the kitchen, plus it takes four to five minutes of running water to get hot water to the bathroom. There was no blanket for the bed, and the weather was cold for Florida.
Overall the weekend stay was nice. It was a guest house in the backyard next to the pool. Everything was nice. It had a full size bed with a small table, kitchen area, with a bathroom, and shower. All you would need for a quick getaway.
The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is due to the grass was very high and not very easy path to walk through when we came in at night. It was also hard to see since we had to go through the backyard gate to get to the property listing. The property manager was very nice with communication and accommodating if we needed anything. Overall it was nice and would recommend to others looking room for that small cute cottage type feel.
This home is walking distance from some amazing shops! I recommend walking to love bagel and deli! The guest house had a private entrance and an amazing pool, there was a little kitchen area equipped with a fridge, microwave, . The location was perfect
My 21 yr old daughter absolutely loved this guest house and so did I. The bed was so comfortable my daughter wanted me to ask them to let us buy itâŠlol. We were there during and after tropical storm Debby and even though everything was drenched and tossed it was a beautiful yard. The walk to the cottage was a little hard for my daughter but that was on me. She loves it so much though that the hard walk was okay with her. It is not a hard walk for able bodied people but walking for her is risky at best. Also, they had a cute little bouquet on the table from their beautiful yard. We would definitely stay there again!
My husband and I had a truly relaxing stay at this cute little cottage/pool house. Perfect for relaxing and what a great neighborhood.We enjoyed our stay ,we found our host and hostess to be very welcoming and accommodating
Perfect for one or two people in lovely neighborhood. The guesthouse was immaculate and had everything I needed for a weekend. Host was great and responsive- provided all the info needed right away with no surprises. Great experience đ
Perfect spot, just as pictured . Pool/outdoor area very inviting, along with pretty summer flowers ! In town visiting family. Hosts were friendly and accommodating ! Will definitely stay here again when in town . Easy parking, easy check in and out . Also very peaceful and quiet neighborhood .
This should noy be take as criticism but more recommendations. The owner should have a bit more critical eyes to the cleanliness of the rental. At night there should be more lighting especially with a non gated pool. The lawn needed to be mowed and the walking path was unstable, not well lit and quite frankly dangerous. The bathroom was NOT cleaned and although it was blended on a new cleaning service as the owner you should have checked prior to us arriving.
This was the cutest little cottage! It was stocked with the necessities. The bed was nice and comfy. The check-in and check out process were incredibly easy. We forgot our watches and didn't realize it until we were halfway home. Contacted the host immediately, and she shipped out the watches the next day! We will definitely stay again when we go to Jacksonville.
The cottage was clean, well-equipped, cozy, private, everything as advertised. It is well-located for activities in the Avondale, Riverside, or Ortega neighborhoods of Jacksonville, within walking distance of shops and restaurants, within a 10-minute drive of the Cummer Museum, and close to downtown.
This cottage was perfect for our one night stay in the Avondale neighborhood of Jacksonville. Itâs very close to the Cummer Museum, shopping and great restaurants. It was a breeze to get to the Performing Arts Center. We loved that our car was steps away from the cottage and that we didnât have to wait for elevators or carry luggage down long halls and that parking was free. We also appreciate a 3:00 PM arrival time and 11:00 AM departure time. Many VRBO listings and hotels no longer subscribe to this standard. The cottage was clean and the bed was very comfortable. This is not a high end rental, and you are not paying a high end price. We would definitely stay again.
We stayed in this cute little room as a base to visit our nephew and niece-in-law and their new little house in Avondale! This property was perfect for our needs,
The cottage was clean, fresh and well appointed!
The bed was very comfortable and curtains provided good light blocking when needed! The location was entirely walkable to the area. Shops and restaurants were literally right up the street. It is as described, a renovated pool house behind the residence. We felt that while we were in the backyard we had all the privacy we needed Also would like to note the beautiful art on the walls signed by LuAnn-Thank you for that and the lovely painted map provided! LuAnn and Andy gave us great instructions and helpful hints. We would love to stay here again during visits to our family.
We are an empty nester couple who are enjoying our adopted hometown of Jacksonville! We live in the main house on the property. Travel is our foremost passion and we spent all of 2014 traveling around the world with just us and our carry-ons. This is how we were introduced to VRBO since this was our main go-to on that adventure! We have a very sweet gentle Great Dane, Heidi, who you may occasionally see out taking a sunbath!
We love our mid century modern home in the Historic District and when we discovered the potential of our pool cottage we were even more excited. Our neighborhood is so wonderful with such a varied amount of architectural styles, mainly dating back to the 1900's. A perfect place for a leisurely walk with a stop in one of Avondale's great restaurants.
The benefit of this location is that it is so completely walkable and relaxing if you prefer to stay in the neighborhood. . Or, hop into your car, and about a half an hour later you can also be at the beach! Less than a half hour and you can visit downtown, or be at the stadium for a Jag's game, or even visit our wonderful zoo. Wander a bit further to one of the coastal reserves- Big or Little Talbot and Amelia Island. You will not be bored.
