Beachy Cottage by the sea

This very rare and adorable 1939 beach cottage just steps from the beach has been beautifully restored to its former glory days. It is located in the heart of Jacksonville Beach and only steps away from the ocean. It is easy walking distance to many shops, festivals, bars, clubs, and restaurants. Everything is right there. Our cottage is suitable for just one couple, several couples, or an entire family getaway. We have a secluded back courtyard where you can simply relax or even have your breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Our kitchen is stocked with cookware, microwave, dishwasher, dishes, utensils, glasses, and of course a coffee pot to start your vacation. The side-by-side fridge has ice and water in the door. You may just find yourself eating out in the terrific local restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance. If not, you can throw chicken/steak/hamburger, etc. on the BBQ grill and enjoy your family picnic in the backyard.
Sheets, linens, towels and beach towels are provided. We have beach chairs and umbrellas, boogie boards and a beach cart to take all the toys to the beach. The cottage is also furnished with HD TV, games and books. We also provide WIFI internet service just in case you want to stay in touch with family/friends during your stay. The cottage is equipped with inside washer and dryer to make longer trips away from home easier.
We furnished this adorable cottage with nice furnishings, comfortable beds and decorated the place like a home. The cottage still has original wood floors almost throughout the entire house. You will feel it's your home away from home the moment you walk in.
Spectacular sunrises greet you on your morning visit to the beach for coffee or stroll and occasionally the dolphins will meet you there. It is known for the flat open beach which makes it great for hanging out at the beach; walking or running, beachcombing and riding beach cruiser bicycles. Playing in the sand and surf is a great way to spend your days, but the fun doesn't stop there!

Since the cottage is at the heart of Jax Beach, you can walk to all the events and festivals within a few minutes without worrying about finding or paying any parking. Many shops and restaurants, featuring local artists and top chefs are within a short walk. Jax Beach Amphitheater hosts many spring and summer festivals featuring well known jazz and blues artists.
Jacksonville Beach is a fun filled beach community close to many attractions in sunny/warm Florida. Jacksonville Beach Pier, Adventure Landing, Kathryn Hannah State Park and Mayport Naval Station are nearby. Mayport, an original fish camp, is famous for it’s Mayport shrimp caught fresh daily.
Mayo Clinic/Hospital is only 10-15 minutes away. St Augustine, ‘The Nation’s Oldest City', is less than 15 miles away and offers many fun and interesting tourist features, an alligator farm, the Fountain of Youth and Premium Outlet malls.

Don't forget to bring your golf clubs. Home of THE PLAYERS Championship, birthplace of the TPC Network, and backdrop to the PGA TOUR headquarters, the TPC Sawgrass golf course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., 5 miles away, is perhaps the world’s most famous golf course. THE PLAYERS Stadium Course sports one of the most recognizable and challenging holes on the PGA TOUR. The notorious par-3, 17th hole, features an island green that makes or breaks many a PGA TOUR pro’s round.

Wedding/family reunion/vacation

We were at this awesome property to attend my nephew's wedding and a family reunion, and tied our vacation to those events. We could not have been more impressed with the accommodations, as we found the cottage to be fully stocked with everything we needed. The host was very responsive, and we could not think of anything we needed that was not provided. It was the perfect place to relax, or go to the beach, or enjoy one fo the many great restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

Beachy Cottage Stay

Cute little beach house - literally in prime location for walking the block to the beach. The home is older, but met our needs for a Spring Break vacation. Easy contactless check in and out. Beds were super comfortable. Barbara was great to work with, communicated with us when we booked and again a couple days before. Thanks for a great stay at Jax Beach!

Life is a Beach

Property is walkable to the beach and walkable to quite a few restaurants. One that turned out very good. Ouxaca.Neighborhood was quiet and parking was very easy. Layout of the house is also good for families, one floor.

Perfect location

This property is perfect for families with children and elderly parents. Very close to the beach, one story with easy access for entering and exiting the property. Our only suggestion might be that they update the linens and maybe mattresses in the property and the second bathroom. The clawfoot tub, shower was a little tricky and hard to get in and out of for adults.

Thanksgiving Holiday

I have stayed in a lot of VRBO properties, this has to be one of the best stocked properties I have ever been in. I needed a well stocked kitchen to prepare Thanksgiving dinner and I got it. The house had everything you could possibly need like bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, coffee, beach towels etc….The house is the perfect beach cottage and made this family vacation one to remember . I would rent this place over and over! Thank you Barbra !

Cute beach cottage steps to the beach. Very well stocked with anything you would need! Beach chairs and toys. Only thing I would add would be a small cooler we flew in so would have been nice. The beds were very comfy and would definitely return. We did notice all bikes had flat tires. The owner was helpful on places to go. Definitely stay again.

The Beach cottage was beautiful inside and outside! Short walk to the beach. Incredibly well decorated! The gardens and plants around the cottage were so pretty!

Perfect Little Beach Cottage!

Our family of six had the best time at the Beachy Cottage! The house was comfortable, clean, located very close to the beach, and very well stocked. Although the weather was a little cold we were still able to enjoy lots of beach time and really appreciated all of the beach equipment provided—we didn’t have to pack anything but our clothes and some food! Our kids really enjoyed walking to restaurants and the short walk to the water. We all slept great in the large comfy beds. We didn’t do much cooking but the kitchen had everything we needed and more. I really appreciate how thoughtful the hostess is, she obviously loves this house and takes very good care of it. We hope to come back again soon!
