About this property

Blue Palm Retreat: Heated Pool, Private Backyard, Walk or take Bikes to Beach

Welcome to your slice of paradise in Jacksonville Beach! 🌴🏠

Get ready to live the beach life in this 3-bed, 3-bath beach house – because why not have a blast while feeling right at home? 😎

Inside, you've got everything sorted – a fully loaded kitchen (yes, we mean everything!), a dining room that's perfect for those family feasts or game nights, and a cozy living room for Netflix marathons or just chilling out.

But wait, there's more – step outside and behold your own personal oasis! A spacious backyard with a large heated saltwater pool is waiting for those lazy afternoon dips or evening swims under the stars. It’s all yours, just steps away from the comfort of your bedroom slippers.

And guess what? The beach is practically calling your name – just a quick 1/2 mile stroll and you've got sand between your toes and waves to ride. Plus, this gem is nestled in a calm, residential nook, so peace and quiet are part of the deal. Yet, when you're feeling fancy, stroll down the street to discover a lively array of restaurants, bars, and entertainment options.

Laundry room? Oh yeah, we've got that covered too. Because who wants to haul a suitcase full of dirty laundry back home?

This spot is all about balance – tranquility when you need it, and excitement just around the corner. So, whether you're planning a family getaway, a hangout with friends, or even a solo escape, this is the spot to be. Come make memories and let the good times roll! 🌊☀️

Perfect Spring Break with kids

We stayed here with my family of 4 plus my dad, who had his own room with an attached bathroom. The kids couldn’t get enough of the pool and all toys/floaties that were available in the garage. We were close to tons of kid friendly restaurants as well as the beach. The house was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed for the week.

Great location and property

Overall great stay, although the Florida weather was fickle! House was located within walking distance to restaurants, coffee, and the beach/pier area. House was cozy and comfortable. Bikes and beach chairs came in handy. We didn't use the pool, but the dogs appreciated the fenced outside space. Sarah was a wonderful host, with some thoughtful welcome gifts and snacks. So nice to have coffee for day one! We would definitely recommend this home to anyone.

Home for the holidays

This was our first family Christmas gathering in a vacation rental, and it could not have been better! I will echo the many reviews before ours - Sarah‘s home is lovingly cared for, immaculate, bright and cheery, and very comfortable. It’s clear that Sarah wants her guests to feel at home and enjoy their stay, and she is attentive to many details in that way. She also is as gracious, kind, and responsive as a host could be. We would not hesitate to recommend her home or return again.

Great Family Getaway

House was great for our family of four! It was spotless and had everything we could need. We only used it one morning but the pool lovely and huge. All of the beds were comfy. Only complaint is the water pressure isn't great so it takes a long while for the hot water to hit the faucets/showers. But other than that, everything was perfect.

We loved this place. It was very clean and bright and had everything we needed. The three bedrooms and three baths provided plenty of space for our family. We really appreciated that we could bring our dog and the nice neighborhood was great for taking them on walks. Sarah was very responsive to any questions I had. I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Home!

I stayed in this home for a business trip to the Jacksonville area. I was very impressed with how well appointed and clean everything was. The backyard was fenced so my dog could run around, and the pool was beautiful and a real treat to come home to. The front MB was perfectly appointed for a great night of rest with and very comfortable bed and private bath. Would definately return and stay in this home again.

Great Stay!

This stay was just what our family needed. Enjoyed plenty of time relaxing by the pool with our kids and dog. Also, we were close enough to the beach, but not too close. The bikes were a huge plus to have so that we did not have to deal with parking when going to the beach or restaurants. Owner was very easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
