-Attention fisherman: You can’t get any closer to the ocean! There are lots of tournaments and you are minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean. (Boat lift is
not for guest use) House is located on a main shipping channel which makes the tides go up and down by 6-9 feet which means you cannot tie up a boat to the dock. If you are bringing a boat we recommend putting in/put at local ramp and just enjoying the dock for sitting on, hanging out, fishing etc.. please mention if you are bringing a boat when booking so we can go over everything.

House is full of information on all parks+resturants+things to do!

There is a non refundable $400 pet fee.
Outdoor fire pit and fireplace are not available for guest use. They do not work.

**Due to local city mandates there are no more than 10 people allowed.**
** NO HOUSE PARTIES, NO UNAUTHORIZED GUESTS.
QUIET HOURS: ALL DAY. There is never a time that music can be turned up, people yelling/celebrating. Our neighbors are very close by and respecting them is our number one priority. If rules are broken/ neighbors report, guests will be asked to leave immediately, and your payment will be forfeited. This is absolutely not the place for any social gatherings. This property is located in a very quiet neighborhood with neighbors close by.

Family Gathering

We really had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful home and it was perfect for all my family that were coming in from out of state for my son' wedding. Meghan was great to answer any questions promptly and the welcome gift was a nice touch. Only complaint is the house is much older than the photos from the advertisement listing and the there was very little water pressure in the bathrooms. This became very difficult at night when everyone needed a shower before going to bed. The home defiantly needs some updating...

Amazing home!

The home was immaculate, the sleeping rooms very nicely furnished and comfortable, the game room was an added plus! You can’t beat the location on the River. Kids were fishing off the dock in their pajamas at sunrise. The pool and hot tub added hours of fun and relaxation.

Best host ever!

Our family has been renting homes all over the country for every occasion, business and pleasure. For the last decade we have rented homes instead of staying in hotels. This is one of the best homes we've stayed in and the host is by far the best host ever! From the welcome goodies to the entire home, they are the best. Thank you and we will plan to stay there again.

Amazing spot for a Fantastic Family Reunion

Meghan’s place is like a private 5 star resort! Everything is new and sparking clean! Meghan is extremely attentive and available for any questions that may arise. Everything you need to have a fun vacation is on the property. The screened in pool area was where we spent most of our time as we were traveling with a 10 month old. We will definitely be back!

We had the best week- Maghen did an amazing job, with her welcome package, to all the little notes she left around. Could not ask for a better stay. Every single detail is taken care of. Fishing off the dock was amazing. Hot tub at night, Just perfect. Stay here, you won’t regret it!

Best rental we have ever stayed at

We rent a lot on VRBO and this rental by far was the best we have ever had. The owner supplies EVERYTHING you need to actually be able to arrive and enjoy vacation. We went to grocery store on arrival and never had to worry about anything else. Upon arrival there was a personal note, special treat for us and endless goodies provided. Everything you need for fishing, pool time, beach etc was included. We loved our stay and next time we are back we will definitely be staying here.

Maghen is a Super Host!!! Attention to details! Beautifully decorated for Christmas! Our first experience with a home in Palm Desert had left a very very bad impression for VRBO. We were going to try it one more time before abandoning VRBO but this home impressed us.

AMAZING!!!!

This serene beauty and gem was exactly what we needed!! The house was immaculate and spacious. The outside was very well kept. I don't what this place didn't have. Because I'm a chef, we brought things from our house we didn't need. This place was stocked and has everything you'll to have a great stay. We all absolutely love the accommodation and amenities! Thanks to the wonderful host for sharing your home and making the process efficient. Overall, the best air BNB we've ever stayed in hands down!!!

This home will exceed all your expectations, and so will its owner!

This was our second time staying at this home, and it was even better than the first! Maghen goes out of her way to make sure you have a superior experience. There are instructions for everything, snacks of every stripe, and even a spectacular cheese and fresh fruit board when we arrived. The house is freshly renovated, spotlessly clean, and wonderful! Maghen contacted us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. You just can't do any better than staying here!

Amazing house, best pool!

When we were looking for a vacation rental, we wanted to find a place that had a lot of amenities in case the weather didn’t cooperate. This house fit that in spades. The weather, though, was amazing and yet we loved just hanging out by the pool and spa the best. House was spotlessly clean and beds were so comfy. Great communication with host as well. There was a nice beach 10 min away and Amelia Island was also very close. And the location was quiet and low key. We had such a relaxing trip!

Heaven!!

Literally a resort on the river! These pictures do not do it justice. Everything you need is already in the house to have an amazing vacation. The owner was SO friendly and communicative, every single piece of furniture was comfortable and cozy. It’s a large house but still has that home-feel to it. We found amazing beaches that were just right up the street but mostly enjoyed the dock and pool right in the backyard! If you want the BEST vacation, book here! 😊

Relaxing Get-A-Way

We were in town for a major car show ( The Amelia). Convenient location for the show. Beautiful home with plenty of activity on the river to entertain your family. Cruise ships, tankers, Coast Guard, Navy ships, military planes and much more. Maghen is a gracious host. We are thankful that she opens up her amazing home to my friends and family. The house is beautiful and meticulously maintained. We are big travelers and rent at many locations. Meghan stocks the house with everything you need. Give this home serious consideration when you're in the Jacksonville area!

Relaxing Loction

If you wanna unwind and get away... this is your place. Huge house! Quiet. Lots of action to watch on the river. Mahgen is a perfect host. She sent us links of cool things to do. There was a charcuterie welcome board. We took a scenic road to Amelia Island and had dinner at Bob's Steak and Chop House. Awesome place. Really nice beach too! It's like 10 mins from the house. Check this place out... well worth the price!

Beautiful home!

The house was so beautiful, exactly as pictured and more. The neighborhood is very nice, we enjoyed walking in the morning. The location is about 35 minutes to Amelia Island and about an hour to St. Augustine. We visited both places during our stay. There is no swimming in the river but it was a treat to watch big tankers and cruise ships go by. We even got to see the Coast Guard doing drills. The deck is fantastic! The very best part of this home is the owner, Maghen. She thought of everything to make our stay very comfortable. When we arrived there were plenty of snacks and lovely flowers. She was responsive the entire time with dining suggestions, answering questions, etc. It was a fantastic trip and a wonderful memory for our family. Highly recommend!

Wedding out of town guest accommodations

We rented this home for our family and out of town guest coming into Jacksonville for our daughter's wedding. The house did not disappoint. It is equip with everything you could possible think of. The beds have a remote to raise or lower the bed to your comfort. The kitchen fully stocked. Plenty of towels for the pool along with pool floats, etc., Fishing rod in the garage and beach chairs. The temperature in the house was consistently cool, the temp did not fluctuate throughout the house. Bedroom closets were arrange for maximum usage and the cabinets in the closets were a great help to have your person item out but yet tucked away. The upper deck stretches across all 3 rooms on the second floor. I would absolutely rent this VRBO again. The living room is a sunken room with steps down from the foyer and from the living room to the kitchen were steps up. This did make me a bit nervous as I had 2 older (80's) adults in our party. The steps were marked with safety tape and had large planters in the middle in an effort to minimize traffic. We had no issues with the steps. The owner left us a personal note with a welcome snack basket and had a charcuterie board delivered. I could go on and on about how great this place is. 5 STAR
