Comfortable spot for a quick getaway

Our stay was comfortable, and the home met our needs. The appliances were top-notch. The only minor inconveniences were needing to purchase additional toilet paper and running out of towels during our stay. Overall, it was a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Lovely home

We were here for Dr appointments at Mayo Clinic. The house was conveniently located to Mayo. The home was very clean and tidy. Beds were comfortable.We had trouble with the WiFi but that was my fault. I transposed letters repeatedly. I had also requested any fragrance plug in to be removed and they very graciously made certain any fragrance items were removed.We were there during the cold snap and I was glad to discover the blankets in the ottoman.We enjoyed our stay.Check in was easy.We recommended the house to our daughter and her family. Thanks for the hospitality!

Oasis away from home

I can confidently say that it was one of the best experiences I've had while traveling. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this property is a cut above the rest. It’s situated in a prime location, close to all the main attractions yet nestled in a quiet, charming neighborhood. It was easy to get around, whether I wanted to explore local cafes, visit tourist spots, or just take a leisurely stroll in the park nearby. The space was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, with attention to detail that made it feel cozy and welcoming. The design struck the perfect balance between modern amenities and homey touches. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep, and the living area was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Every amenity I could have needed was provided. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing me to prepare meals with ease. There were thoughtful extras like coffee, tea, and even a few local treats. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which was important since I needed to get some work done during my stay. The bathroom was stocked with high-quality toiletries, and the shower had excellent water pressure. Our host was an exceptional host. They were quick to respond to any questions and provided detailed instructions for everything.

Perfect location!

We stayed here to visit our son playing lacrosse for Jacksonville U and it was the perfect location. Clean and the owner was quick to respond and bring us an umbrella for the game because of rain! One suggestion would be to have kitchen towels and more paper products, TP (one roll is not enough for a long weekend) Kleenex, paper towels and first aid kit (my dad cut himself) We went to buy them because we didn’t want to ask the owner.

About the host

Hosted by Michael and Gary

Host profile image
After staying at some other places, my brothers and I decided to create a cozy getaway that has a Vacation Home feel. Something to take you away from the standard, crowded old hotel scene, with the freedom of a private home. Just a great experience.

Why they chose this property

It's centrally located to the beach, sports and downtown. Plenty of nearby shopping with great local places to eat. Also a very quiet neighborhood with great neighbors.

What makes this property unique

Has the feeling of a second home. The coastal, beachy theme will take you away from the average places. Lots of room to enjoy family time or just a quite peaceful place to relax. Also - nobody lives in the house and our housekeeping service goes the extra mile to keep the house immaculately clean.
