Great property, short drive to everything. Beds were not as conformatable as desired but serviceable. we had a little problem with the lock at check in but the issue was quickly resolved.' very enjoyable stay.
This cozy house is in a family-friendly neighborhood. We enjoyed the backyard so much, and the putting green was a great touch. We had a wonderful stay.
Fun place to stay. Very clean loved the location to Sawgrass and beach! Beautiful area. Strings the neighborhood sports bar was a fun place to walk to.
The home was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool, the neighborhood, Cinotti's bakery, the beach, and just relaxing. Great trip catching up with family and friends in the Jacksonville area. Location was convenient for those we were visiting.
Great property for spring break getaway! Plenty of chairs for the beach and the wagon was a life saver. Ocean was chilly but the heated pool was a great way to end the day!
Super clean heated pool, golf and close to the beach!
We stayed for 5 nights with our three kids. The kids loved the heated pool since it was a little chilly in the mornings and played golf every day! The beach is a short walk or drive which is super convenient. So many restaurants, bars and shops nearby. Quiet neighborhood too. Would highly recommend.
A nice home with a great backyard! Overall very comfortable here. Location was pretty good. The only thing I will make mention of is the mattresses are firm and kinda dated…
we were very pleased. Great amenities with the little putting green and the warm pool and the back porch in the pool table. It was so perfect for art extended family from England. Mike and his staff were so helpful.
Property management very accessible , responsive and helpful. Really appreciate all efforts to make our stay , all that we’d planned.
We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and game room.definite BONUS FOR PROPERTY!
This vrbo is awesome! Very clean,inviting, and affordable! If your wanting a vrbo close to the beach that isn't in the hustle bustle of the beach area but close enough to enjoy it this is your place! We wanted a secluded pool to not share with a condo, apartment, or resort area. The pool was clean and refreshing. The home is in a residential neighborhood, so I wouldn't recommend it for a party group, but for a family atmosphere it was perfect! My family loved it!!
For 3 adult couples it was excellent, planning to secure for our trip next year. The location for us was perfect, wives and husbands had different activities, the beach, shopping, bars, golf and races. The house was a good base to relax in the pool, sun, friendly games of pool and card games. The bedrooms were all queen so no fighting for a bedroom. The TV cable also had all the channels we needed without our own subscription.
Our family vacationed here for a week and we really enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean, the pool was a highlight of the trip with a really great sunroom to hangout in. Great setup with TVs in all rooms. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook for a week. Great Weber grill outside with all necessary grill ware and a backup tank. Plenty of towels, beach toys, chairs, wagon, umbrella. We played some pool in the garage as well. Overall this was a great stay. Only area of improvement would be for new mattresses. Excellent customer service and super responsive, Yvonne and Gary helped us with a high chair and had one there and set up in a matter of 20. We’ll definitely look to stay with Welcomehome Rentals again.
Such a cute place. The neighborhood was wonderful many of the people had decorations out for the holidays;you could tell that it was a pleasant area to be in. The location was great. It was right around the corner from restaurants and a sports bar.We really liked that when we were in the backyard we weren’t surrounded by high-rise condos and hotels. We could actually get a view of a beautiful sunset and double rainbows as we played a little putt putt on the putting green in the backyard. The neighborhood was so nice and quiet in the evening and it was very comfortable just to sit outside on the screened in patio and of course watch some football or whatever we wanted to on TV. We love that there was a TV in almost every room and we like that we were able to spread out in other areas of the house because it wasn’t a totally open concept set up. I recommend the area and recommend booking with these guys.The house was decorated very nicely and well laid out
