Awesome stay

Property was very clean, comfortable and above all cozy. Loved everything about this heavenly cottage. Safe and secure for a mature lady visiting on her own or any professional looking for their home away from home. My stay was idyllic and I am hoping to book again in the future. Deborah was a wonderful hostess and made sure I was safe and secure.

Perfect Getaway!

Adorable, quaint cottage decorated with such thoughtfulness and creativity. We were greeted with snacks, wine, sparkling water, and a fridge full of bottled water. We had everything we needed for our weekend away. The hostess was quick to respond to any questions and recommended great places for shopping and dining. We will definitely visit again if we are in Jacksonville in the future.

The best bed ever.

This is the sweetest cute little cottage, Deborah outdid herself on making us feel very comfy. The bed is wonderful, now I want a new bed. (lol) She had different flavors of coffee for us which was very sweet of her. We will be back.

Cottage delight

We loved this rental! It was perfect for my husband and myself! It was very clean and decorated very nicely……cozy and so relaxing…… Deborah was great ….. she had snacks, bottle water and fresh flowers and a bottle of wine waiting for us!! She responded usually within a few minutes if we had questions!!! I was looking forward to enjoying the peaceful quietness of the patio each morning but unfortunately the rain didn’t cooperate! We would highly recommend this rental and Deborah was great!

Beautiful and Relaxing Property

The property was absolutely beautiful inside and out. The landscaping around the cottage was well designed and true to the pictures provided in the listing. It was mostly private from the surrounding properties and allowed for great relaxation. We were even treated with bonus practice sessions from the Blue Angels on two afternoons during our stay, as they were scheduled to perform at a local event the following Saturday of our trip. They flew right above us at the property's fishing dock. It was spectacular. Highly recommend the property for a relaxing stay in Jacksonville.

A little bit of paradise

Deborah was a wonderful host. Lots of privacy. Everything was clean and neat. Appointed beautifully with lots of special touches. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable queen bed. Cozy but it doesn’t feel that way because of the outside areas and views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful hideaway

We loved it. The cottage was very much like in the photos, just a different chair here or there. We were close to a Main Street, but it didn’t feel like it. We felt hidden away. We loved the lawn stretching out to the dock, and we watched the fish and the rising and falling of the tides. The cottage was very comfy and had just about everything we needed. Deborah was a great host, friendly and helpful.

Great place to just relax

We chode this place because of its proximity to Sawgrass TPC. We went to The Players. We took an UBER to and from and it was reasonably priced. If your are looking for a place for a rest and respite this isba good choice. You have privacy you have a doc to fish from(everythin there for that) cook your catch in your bungalow. Everything is there. Huge quiet backyard and sitting space under the pergola. You are on greenfield?river. Lots of restaurant choices as well. All on atlantic. Hawkers was very good( delivered by Ubere eats) Enjoyed our stay and would repeat if we return to the area.

Perfect location

This is a great place to stay for whatever brings you to Jacksonville. Centrally located, this cottage was perfect for the two of us. The pictures accurately depict the property but it’s actually better; there is a full size oven and stove, and the property was completely private, despite its description as a backyard bungalow. We would gladly stay here again. The owner even provided a little New Years champagne!
