San Marco

We actually had to be moved to a different house in San Marco from Murray hill due to some damage after hurricane Helene. The property manager was very accommodating. The bathrooms were a bit smaller and one bathroom didn’t have door locks. This did not inconvenience because we were a family staying there. Location was nice and place was clean.

Good Murray Hill Location

The house itself has got a really great layout because the master suite is kind of separated so if you have more than one couple staying, there can really be very nice for that. Kitchen’s got all you need. However, we ran into an issue where the microwave was not working it would power on, but wouldn’t work. The freezer was not freezing and the refrigerator was barely working. So this wasn’t as big a deal for us. However, when you rent a VRBO, you expect everything to be in good working order so you can at least have ice in your beverages like we like to do for cold brew and prepare breakfast. I did report this to the landlord. I told him it wasn’t critical for our trip, but it feels like this has been ongoing and not new news. So I also had a very challenging time communicating with the landlord to understand when people would or would not be in and out what their request were for us and why we needed to provide certain things. For example, They wanted to have us fill out certain forms, etc. when I feel like as the renter, I should just be able to tell you things and you handle whatever needs to happen administratively on your end.Just seems that these folks are not used to using either their property management company or having short-term tenants. Either way I’ve been renting VRBO properties now for more than 20 years and I’ve never had such a snafu trying to communicate with landlord and had so many things wrong with the unit. And not being offered any kind Refund.

Great Place, Great Space, Great Location

My friends and I were in town for a conference. This cute house was perfectly located far enough away from downtown and yet close enough to everywhere we needed to go. The house itself was big enough for us 4 adults so we each had our own room, and yet it was small enough so that gathering together was easy. We didn't spend a lot of time in the house but it met our every need.

Great find

Found this listing last minute for a weekend trip to Jacksonville. The house was great! It was very bright and welcoming, and was exactly as portrayed on the listing. The master bedroom was very spacious! And the other two rooms were a great size, as well. Located in a nice, quiet neighborhood that was only a 6-10 minute ride into downtown Jacksonville. The house was clean and furniture comfortable! Would definitely recommend staying here.

Johnson Family Wedding

Liked the location, was very to get to all locations with ease. Flooring wasn't very good. Bulging in various areas causing trip hazards. The ceiling fan doesn't work, but the light did. Tbis was noted in previous renters comments. The patio deck was full of algea, needs to be pressure washed Overall appearance of the house was ok.

If fence fixed would stay again

This was a very clean, spacious house. The neighborhood is not terrible, but the streets are narrow with no sidewalks in an old neighborhood with a mixture of houses. This property would have gotten all 5 stars if it wasn't for the fence that was in terrible shape on all sides. We had to find trash day scrap to keep patching the slats on the wood fence on one side and the bamboo on the other sides. Definitely not safe in the shape it is in for most dogs unless you really trust your dog.

Not as expected

This property looks really good on the listing but in person it is not. The house is old and not updated. The driveway is big enough for a golf cart which resulted us needing to park in the grass which was very wet and difficult to get in and out of. When we got there the code to the lock box did not work and the agent did not believe we were doing it right and asked us to call him back b/c he was going in a restaurant. There is barely any kitchen utensils and not even a baking sheet. The fence is falling down in the yard. The laundry is in a detached garage and the dryer doesn't turn off on it's own which the property manager didn't care about, just cared about the issue with the grass in the front yard. This is just a house - don't expect much.

Not worth it, spend more on a better place

We arrived on 2/21/23. 2 hours after check in I texted the owner because there was no gas in the outdoor fire (extra tank also empty). We then realized that the light/fan in the living room was not working, so texted again about remote maybe being dead. I also sent the messages in the Vrbo chat to be safe. I DID NOT HEAR BACK FOR 24 HOURS. Finally got a text (2/22) that maintenance man was out and that tanks would be picked up FIRST THING the next morning (no mention of the living room light). On 2/23/23 at 2pm I send a message along the lines of “the tanks are still sitting on the porch empty, is it safe to assume that none of the issues will be addressed today either?”. Immediately I received a reply: “excuse me? There is no need to be rude. The fan+ light works fine the switch needs to be flipped up. It is a remote operated fan.” We had already tried this the first night. I asked the owner to stop by and please show me how they do it since we can’t get it to work. They finally seem to realize that they dropped the ball. At this point they start being communicative to ensure that I know they are trying to fix the problem, two days too late. They can’t find batteries in stores, so we had to rely on other lights around the house to keep the living room lit up for the entirety of our stay. Besides the abysmal communication, the house was poorly renovated. Bathroom door didn’t close completely, toilet paper holder kept falling off the wall. Typical “landlord special” house.
