Very easy check in Couldn't ask for a better location. Few steps from the beach. Everything close by even within walking distance. My family truly enjoyed themselves. Very responsive host. Always got back to me to resolve any situation in a timely manner.I would gladly stay again in any property this host has. Just needed another bathroom for a family of 5
Property was clean and functional. Would have like to have had 4 chairs for table. The noise of the construction above us was very annoying and we couldnât enjoy any time actually in the condo because of it being so loud. Location was good.
My family of 5 enjoyed our three night stay! It was the perfect ending to our vacation. The owner was responsive to texts and everything was as expected!!
Kavi was a wonderful host! Very attentive and prompt with responses! The unit was exactly as presented and we have already requested additional nights for future stays in the Jacksonville area!
The location could not be better. It was clean and comfortable. One of the beds was exceptionally comfortable. It had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. The host was accessible at all times. We really appreciated that there were plenty of towels, beach, chairs, umbrellas. It really was wonderful easy to manage. We loved it and canât wait to go back.
My best friend and I stayed at this condo during June. We loved waking up to our sunrise beach view each morning. This condo is close to restaurants and shopping but right off the beach and in a quiet neighborhood. Loved that we could bring our pups. It would have been nice to have a luggage cart to help get our stuff to the 3rd floor but there was nothing to help with this. Next time I will bring a wagon of my own. Also, if a vacuum had been in the condo it would have helped us clean up better before our departure. Other than these inconveniences the place was great. Would definitely book again. We may try to come back in the fall
Communication was great. Kavi replied within minutes of any questions. The view from the condo was amazing, several resturants within walking distance, the beach was awesome and our dog Murray absolutely loved walks on the beach, Most resturants also dog friendly.
Unfortunately we didnt have any sun this week so we did not use the pool area which was very clean and had a turffed area for lounging. Thank you for such an amazing beach though, as lots if walking was done.
It certainly appears Kavi is working on improving the confo as several boxes of misc. household items showed up just before we left and notified a new fridge and stove being delivered the day we were leaving.
Unfortunately we could not find the grill as listing showed a grill.
Thanks Kavi, you can't control the weather, otherwise our stay was great.
Letâs start with the positive. The condo was clean and the bed was comfortable. The owner graciously allowed us to check in a couple of hours early. That said, the furnishings appeared to be âold attic.â One example: the barstools at the bar were table height so when sat in a persons nose was level with the bar. The kitchen furnishings would meet bare minimal standards. One bedroom had no closet and no hooks on the wall to hang belongings. The front door had to be slammed shut to close. Simply out, the condo did not appear to be âlovedâ.
We noted yes, we enjoyed our stay as our daughter lives in Jacksonville and we spent most of the time at her house. That was a life saver for if I had planned to cook Thanksgiving dinner in the condo I would have been in big trouble.
The condo is street side so just be aware there is a long walk from the elevator; however, there are stairs very close to the door.
We enjoyed our stay. Beds were comfortable, which is saying something coming from me. Location of the unit is nice.
There were a few cons, though. The listing says you can see the ocean from "every room but the bathroom." No. The ONLY rooms you can see the ocean from is the living room & 1 bedroom. 1 bedroom has no window at all. There was no dustpan or mop. No way to clean up the sand or any spills that may happen. The kitchen is lacking many essential items (cookie sheet, can opener) & had a limited supply of pots & pans. The hot water runs out before we could have a proper shower. There are no umbrellas at the pool to shield non swimmers from the sun. The locker had an umbrella, but it was broken. The elevator is SUPER slow. We ended up just taking the stairs (which is fine...except for bringing up & taking down luggage).
Jacksonville is a fantastic place to vacation if you don't want to travel to a "tourist" town. This condo was a bit overpriced in my opinion, but provided us a clean, comfortable place to stay on our family vacation.
Would like to first commend the host for his willingness to work with changing our reservation dates due to unforeseen circumstances. We arrived to an almost complete kitchen remodel. We did find a few necessary items missing, but nothing that a trip to Target couldnât take care of. Location is great with nice beach view from the unit. The walk to the beach is easily accessible and is absolutely beautiful. Things noted during our stay were the kitchen sink was leaking and the washer makes a horrible sound ( but works). I made the owner aware and assume these issues would be handled after our departure. Our only complaint would be the unit upstairs was being renovated throughout our entire stay, nothing the owner could do for that.
I love this place. This is my second time staying here and it's been nicely updated. The beds are super comfortable. The location is so great. I love having the pool to jump into after being at the beach all day. Coffee shop and Thai food within walking distance. My dogs' favorite thing to do is sit on the balcony and look out at the ocean. When we first got here, we had an issue with the Internet not working. I contacted the host and they immediately took care of the problem. The level of communication is superb. They really care about the quality of your stay.
Overall our stay was good. Our keypad to the door the batteries died and we had an awful time getting ahold of the owner. The closet that had all the beach stuff in it would not open so we didnt have any beach stuff to play with. There were no sheets for the pull out couch and when the owner was asked he said the couch was not a pull out couch. Even though it is listed as such on the website. We went and bought a cheap pair of sheets.
Condo was as expected and described. Appliances and bathroom areas were very outdated and in need of some updating.Beds were not very comfortable but worked for our stay.Walk to beach and pool areas was amazing.
Felt like this place was crawling. Definitely had the motel 6 vibe going on. Would not subject my family to this place again. The front door is an issue and previous reviewers have reported this. Recliner does not close after reclining and the beds are underwhelming. If you are planning to use the couch pullout well its not fit for a teenager and paper thin.The sliding glass door to the patio takes extreme pressure to open and close. Parking was easy and elevator gave us no issues. Im a 51yr male and this place is not suitable for older folks. I would not stay hear again. This is the only bad review that I have given on vrbo.
As others stated you really should get the door fixed as well as the door on storage locker. Both fell off hinges. Some longer screws in door frame would fix. If you moved keypad over this would also help. A suggestion would be to add a few extra blankets or throws on couch and chair. Other than this everything was good. Beds were comfortable but my husband likes it cooler so I would have appreciated an extra blanket.
We loved this property! The location is perfect for our needs and the view of the ocean was wonderful. I love to sit on the balcony and have my coffee watching the waves. The elevator was a wonderful plus as I am handicapped. Someone complained about the front door being hard to close but it wasnât if you turned the door knob. Definitely coming back to this location on future trips!
It was the worst experience ever. The unit front door did not close without extremely rough slamming which canât easily be performed by a handicapped person. Did have elevator but nothing else was handicapped user friendly including both the front door and slider. Although the unit appeared clean with nice fresh towels and bed linens there was a terrible moldy odor. We did have to turn the heat on so possible that the heating system was the culprit. I called the host Kari and explained that I could not tolerate the smell and allergic response to whatever was in the air. He told me that he would contact vrbo to give me a refund as we vacated before 11 am and were only there 12 hrs. This never happened and after 4 calls to vrbo claims I am still on hold.
I can overlook not having a microwave that isnât functional a difficult to maneuver egress and regress (unsafe) and even stained curtains. But if you have an immediate persistent respiratory issue while inside a property and notify a host immediately it should be a non issue.
