About this property

Forth House - Butterfly Getaway in Historic SPR!

  • Summary:

    Discover a more elevated side of Historic Springfield at The Fourth House, a thoughtfully restored property where historic Jacksonville character meets sophisticated, modern design. Located on the second floor, this beautifully curated two-bedroom, one-bath private residence was designed for guests who appreciate style, comfort and the details that make a stay feel special. Thoughtful artwork, upscale furnishings and carefully selected finishes create a polished boutique atmosphere while still giving you the warmth and functionality of a true home. The residence features a spacious king bedroom and queen bedroom, a beautifully appointed full bathroom with a standing shower, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living and dining spaces, and the convenience of a private in-unit washer and dryer. Whether you're visiting Jacksonville for a professional assignment, medical stay, romantic getaway, family visit or an extended stay, The Fourth House offers a refined alternative to the typical hotel or vacation rental.



    The Space:

    Welcome to your private residence at The Fourth House, an individually designed retreat created to feel collected, comfortable and distinctly different from the typical vacation rental.



    Located on the second floor, the residence pairs the character of Historic Springfield with a sophisticated interior designed for guests who appreciate beautiful spaces without sacrificing everyday comfort.



    FULL KITCHEN



    The residence includes a fully equipped private kitchen, giving you the flexibility to dine out or enjoy the comforts of cooking at home.



    It's particularly convenient for extended stays, traveling professionals and guests who simply prefer having a real kitchen rather than relying on takeout for every meal.



    SECOND-FLOOR LOCATION



    This residence is located on the second floor and requires approximately 20 stairs to access. There is no elevator.



    The front porch also has approximately three steps.



    We provide this information in advance so guests can select a Fourth House residence that best suits their needs. We have two units available that are 1st floor in acceptance to the front porch steps totaling 4 to get to the front door.



    HISTORIC SPRINGFIELD AT YOUR DOORSTEP



    One of the best features of The Fourth House is its location.



    You'll be staying in the heart of Historic Springfield, a Jacksonville neighborhood known for its distinctive historic homes, architecture, local businesses and community character.



    Neighborhood restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, bakeries and Main Street favorites are just blocks away, giving you plenty to experience close to home.



    The property also provides convenient access to Downtown Jacksonville, UF Health Jacksonville, the UF Health Proton Therapy Institute, Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville, Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center, Wolfson Children's Hospital, Florida State College at Jacksonville's Downtown Campus, EverBank Stadium, VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena and Daily's Place.



    This makes the residence especially well suited for traveling physicians and healthcare professionals, corporate travelers, visiting faculty, medical patients and their families, couples, relocating professionals and guests seeking quality accommodations for extended stays.



    SHARED FENCED BACKYARD



    Guests also have access to the property's shared fenced backyard, providing an additional outdoor space to enjoy during your stay.



    The Fourth House consists of four private residences, so the backyard is shared respectfully among guests of the property.



    ARRIVAL & PARKING



    The Fourth House is the teal/blue historic home located behind the black gate.



    Each residence has its own assigned unit number and a distinctive colored entrance door, making your residence easy to identify. Your specific unit and door information will be included with your check-in instructions.



    Please close and securely latch the black gate behind you whenever entering or leaving the property.



    Street parking is available only. There is no designated private parking lot or driveway for guests.



    DESIGNED FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF STAY



    The Fourth House is for travelers who want more than a place to sleep.



    It's for the guest who appreciates thoughtful interiors, historic surroundings, privacy and the ability to experience Jacksonville from a residence that feels intentionally designed.



    Enjoy your morning coffee at home, explore Springfield on foot, spend the day Downtown, return to your own private space and settle into the neighborhood at your own pace.



    Whether you're here for a few nights or an extended stay, The Fourth House was designed to feel like somewhere you'd want to stay a little longer.



    Guest Access:

    Parking: Street parking is available only. There is no private or designated on-site parking for the property. Please be mindful of posted street signs and any parking restrictions during your stay.



    Finding the property: The Fourth House is the teal/blue historic home located behind the black gate divided into 4 different units.



    Enter through the black gate and please close and securely latch the gate behind you each time you enter or exit the property. This helps keep the shared property secure and comfortable for everyone.



    Each residence has its own assigned unit number and a different colored entrance door, making it easier to identify your specific accommodation. Your unit number, door color and detailed check-in instructions will be provided prior to arrival.



    Because this is a four-residence property, please double-check your assigned unit number and door color before entering. The front porch is a shared space. Guests will have access to the entire space except for storage closets which are present in every unit.

Cute, Comfy, Convenient

We just finished a 5 day stay at Forth House. Everything was perfect, from the comfy beds and bedding, to the peaceful decor, to well-stocked kitchen and bath. We walked to several delicious restaurants nearby so the location suited our needs to a T. I highly recommend Forth House. The communication with the host was great!

Awful.

My friend and I stayed at the Butterfly Getaway. Upon my arrival the floor was covered in human/ pet hair, the utensils were dirty as if someone used them and just put them back in the drawer. There was hair on the oven. I contacted the owner for a refund but they kept ignoring my request and wanted to send the cleaners for another thorough cleaning after me driving 15 hours prior. I do not recommend booking, there’s definitely better around.

Perfect Stay!

The property was decorated beautifully, the beds and couch so comfortable, there happened to be an empty lot across the street for dog exercise, and the neighborhood is so adorable!! You won't want to leave!
