Very nice stay

I was in town for 1.5 weeks; this property was clean, cute, and updated with plenty of amenities I didn’t really need, but were nice to have (i.e. firepit, hammock, beach items). The location near Jax Beach was great, and the check in and check out process were seamless. Would rent again.
