The cozy apartment is located in a historic neighborhood, just minutes from great activities everyone will enjoy.

-- THE PROPERTY --

The apartment features a Craftsman-style exterior with both covered and uncovered outdoor sitting areas in the fenced-in backyard. The interior has just been remodeled and features walnut wood lookalike tile floors, faux brick and galvanized steel walls to create a unique, hip, inviting, and relaxing space to unwind.

Turn on the flat-screen TV in the living room to watch one of the family-friendly movies on the DVD player. The comfy couch is the perfect place to unwind each evening.

During your visit, you can use the appliances in the well-equipped kitchen to prepare quick meals using the rotisserie toaster oven, electric wok and rice cooker, or the electric skillet. You can use the outdoor charcoal grill to make juicy steaks and burgers and enjoy an outdoor dining experience in the relaxing backyard!

You're sure to fall fast asleep after an exhilarating day in Jacksonville! The first bedroom boasts a twin-over-full bunk bed and is perfect for children in your travel group. The second bedroom features a full-sized bed, and 1 additional guest can sleep on the pullout bed in the living room.

The bathroom is stunning and brings the Craftsman look inside. Featuring beautifully colored subway floor-to-ceiling glass tile and cedar plank accents on cabinetry. It is truly a joy to refresh yourself in this bathroom.

In the backyard, lucky travelers can catch a look at the redtailed hawks, owls, and hummingbirds that frequent the area.

-- THE LOCATION --

During your visit to Jacksonville, you’ll be staying in a quiet neighborhood known for its historic homes, beautiful trees, and walkability. The apartment is nestled behind an amazing 200-year-old live oak tree and an expansive craftsman style home. You’ll be able to enjoy the view of the historic home and trees from the comfort of the fenced-in backyard.

Take a short walk, bike, or trolley ride to nearby art museums and galleries, coffee shops, craft beer breweries, bars, locavore restaurants, theaters, and sports venues! The Avondale, San Marco, Springfield and Downtown neighborhoods are known for their great shopping and dining options and are within biking distance from the apartment. Take the Riverside Trolley to downtown to catch games, live shows, and nightlife.

Rent a bike from Zen Cog, a bike shop around the corner from the apartment, and spend a day touring the area on 2 wheels! The nearby St. Johns Riverwalk is ideal for riding, walking, or running. You can also rent bicycles down by the beach, which is less than 30 minutes from the apartment. Hannah Park and the boardwalk at Jacksonville Beach are the ideal places to take the family for a day of fun.

There's no better place to stay for the University of Florida vs. Georgia football game each fall. The rivalry game is played at EverBank Field, just minutes from the apartment!

Very cute little pace
We loved Florida, and the owner of this property made it even better!! She is one of the sweetest you'll ever meet!! She was very accommodating, although she was out of town during our stay she had everything lined out and was a text away if we needed anything!! This little house is enclosed in a fence so it feels very private and we LOVED that being the "country" family that we are in a big ol city! The house was clean, smelled great, it had clean towels and linens for our arrival, over all it made for a great stay! The home is small and did not have stove BUT she had an electric skillet, a toaster oven, a microwave, utinsils, cups, plates and a few other convenient electric cook ware & etc. she also provided a BBQ grill, so the home having no stove wasn't an issue. This was our first time ever visiting Florida and we loved it!! I highly recommend this owner and her home. She is a God sent and the home is great!

Too tight; uncomfortable
The place only fits 2 adults comfortably. Very tight. Parking is on the street. We ended up leaving early because we were so uncomfortable. The kitchen is more like a toy kitchen. There were ants in the bathroom and kitchen, along with caterpillars in the different rooms

Good, funky place in Five Points
This place was great for my needs. It's a small place but well set up for a short term rental, especially if you have kids and need a bunk bed room. I wouldn't technically qualify it as a 2br though. It was fine for me, because I was traveling alone but I'd want to know that one of the beds is in the main room and the two bedroom listing seems like it could mislead. I'd also recommend highly that they install lighting outside the unit for dark hours. It's extremely dark and disconcerting not being able to see things. The neighborhood is great and the unit was clean.

Great spot close to many family friendly activities!
The condo was perfect for us! In a great neighbourhood, where we felt safe walking to the local parks and amenities. The condo had everything we needed and more. Jessica was quick to help us find things to do and with any problems we encountered. The only drawback, for us, was that the fully fenced backyard was not private. The resident dog, who is very friendly, came by regularly and workmen also came through the gate. Our dog had to be on leash whenever she was outside. Jessica went above and beyond and gave us passes to the Alligator Farm which my kids loved! Thanks for a great vacation!

Fun Vibe!
We enjoyed our stay. Although our visit was for the Mayo Clinic, the place was clean, fun, and restful. It is within walking distance to Five Points historic district. Our host was very thoughtful with details. She had travel toiletries available and the place had everything we needed. We loved the neighborhood and resting on the outdoor patio loungers. There is even a resident therapy dog that is so sweet and might visit you while you are in the yard. We really loved that. Thank you for a restful stay.
