About this property

Be A Nomad | Charming Cottage for 2 | Oceanfront

  • Welcome to Big Blue: The Cottage — a renovated beach studio less than 100 yards from the sand in Jacksonville Beach. Walk out your door and your toes are in the ocean in under two minutes. This is the closest Nomad Hospitality offers to a true beachfront stay at this price point.

    The studio sleeps 2 on a queen bed with a memory foam mattress and luxury cotton linens. The open layout includes a living area, full bathroom, and a well-stocked kitchenette — perfect for morning coffee and light meals. No full stove, but a large conventional toaster oven/air fryer handles everything from reheating leftovers to cooking a real meal.

    Keyless entry means no key exchange — your access code is waiting in the guest portal before you arrive. Fast Xfinity WiFi keeps you connected, and the Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime is ready for a laid-back evening in. Beach towels, a Keurig, and a fully stocked bathroom are already waiting. No washer or dryer on-site.

    Parking is easy: off-street spaces on a first-come basis, plus a free public lot right next to the cottage and street parking along 16th Avenue.

    Step outside and you're a 9-minute walk to Mellow Mushroom for craft beer and Detroit-style pies, or 10 minutes to Salt Life Food Shack for fresh seafood with a surf-culture vibe. The Jacksonville Beach Pier — great for a summer sunrise or watching surfers — is just a 2-minute drive. Beaches Town Center, with North Beach Fish Camp and a Publix, is 3 minutes by car.

    Self check-in via keyless entry. The kitchen is stocked with coffee, tea, olive oil, and basics. Note: a city renovation project nearby may bring some construction noise on weekdays and occasional minor road adjustments — reach out if you have questions and we'll help find the right fit.

    A refundable security deposit or optional damage waiver may be required. Guests will be given the option to choose between a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver prior to check-in. Pets are not allowed!

Great Location

This is a small quaint unit in a great location. TV good Adequate small kitchen with a good range of equipment. No teaspoons were provided. The shower & toilet are very small & water flow poor. We had 2 cold nights (3c) & no heating only a fan that blew cold air.

Cute Cottage Needs Attention

Initial impression was good although I missed in the listing that this was a one room cottage with bath and toilet. I knew the windows faced the parking lot but did not expect guests from the other building to park in front of the windows and then stand outside smoking and talking so loud I could have participated in their conversation. We had plumbing and pest issues that were quickly, efficiently and compassionately addressed by the management company. Overall the cottage was very clean but the empty cracker wrappers under the bed certainly added the pest problem. It was unusual that as a guest I was advised that garbage can needed to be taken to the curb. The kitchen was well stocked and did not miss having a stove/oven since the toaster oven worked great. Amble supply of linens and bed was comfortable. The location was great with easy access to restaurants. As long as the cars were not parked in front of windows, you could sit outside and watch the waves. Don't know that I would return but we rarely stay in the same location twice.

Exactly as described in the listing - perfect for 2 people. And the ramp to the beach is just outside the property! Would definitely choose here again if we're ever back in Jax. Only suggestion I'd have is mounting a small caddy or shelf in the shower for somewhere easy to place toiletries.
