About this property
Beachside with Billiard Room & Beach Cruisers!
The Ruby Sea Turtle is a newly renovated Family Friendly 3 Bedroom 2 Bath Home located blocks from the Atlantic Ocean in North Jacksonville Beach. We provide a clean, comfortable, and private beach experience for all of our guests. Sleeping arrangements can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people. After a long day at the beach, come back and relax in front of the 70inch TV or challenge a friend to a game of pool!
So why The Ruby Sea Turtle?
Founded in 1884 by the Scull family, Jacksonville Beach was first known as Ruby Beach. William E. and Eleanor Scull were the first family to settle the area, working a post office and general store while living in tents on the beach with their two children, "Ruby" and Bessie. What began as a small, nearly unpopulated, nineteenth-century outpost on the route between Mayport and St. Augustine eventually grew into the thriving and lively Jacksonville Beach we know today. With our love for local history and wildlife, we decided to name the house after a combination of the historical Ruby Beach and the beautiful Sea Turtles that nest along our shores.

About the host
Hosted by Kaitlin Puleo
Hey friends! We are a local family with a passion for hosting and entertaining. We discovered Jax Beach during college back in the early 2000's. Thomas is a Marine Corps Veteran and after several years of being stationed in various locations across the country, our hearts drew us back to this small beach town. We love our community and are currently raising three beach groms (kiddos) while growing our business and building lasting relationships.
