About this property
The Island Estate! Heated Salt Pool/Spa On The St John’s River! 9 Min To Beach!
The views will blow you away. This sprawling property is amazing both inside and out. Outside, you'll find a dining patio with a BBQ. Kick back to watch the sun set into the water or large ships cruise right pass you! Home remodeled and everything is NEW!
The property is on Little Marsh Island, which is one of the islands that connects Jacksonville and Amelia Island and runs along the St. Johns River. The islands have been referred to as "The North Florida Keys" and "Jacksonville's Best Kept Secret" - Located 1 mile from Palm's Fish Camp +boat ramp - 4 miles away from Ferry crossing (Ferry takes passengers and automobiles from Heckscher Drive to Mayport Village and the Beaches) -Close to several State and City Parks (Talbot Island State Parks, Fort George Island State Park, Kingsley Park, Hanna Park, Hugenot Park) - 18 miles to the Omni Amelia Island Resort - 17 miles to downtown Jacksonville and the TIAA Bank Field (NFL) - 17 miles to the St Johns Town Center (Jacksonville’s upscale open air mall) - 20 miles via the ferry to Sawgrass (PGA) -15 mins to Publix and shopping centers -15 mins to restaurants with an exception of 3 that are very nearby. -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.
Surveillance cameras are present around the entire exterior of the property located at all corners, pointing to the outside of the entire home including the dock and pool deck area for safety purposes.

We absolutely loved this property! We had a big family with kids and a toddler, and this house was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. Highly recommend this beautiful estate for your next vacation.
Beautiful home with upgraded amenities on the water! Very spacious, convenient get away with everything you can think of! Thoroughly enjoyed this home and will stay again next time in Jacksonville.
Great Home to stay for Jacksonville Jaguars game. Just a short ride back into town, then enjoy this lovely home with incredible pool and river frontage.
Highly recommend this luxurious house with every amenity you and your family could need. Conveniently located and private enough for a peaceful getaway. My family and I are definitely planning to return to this paradise in Jacksonville. Owners communicated well and are very hospitable. Check in was a breeze. A can’t miss stay!
The house worked well for our family which included several generations. The enclosed pool was great, it allowed us to be outside without the insects. We encountered several maintenance issues with the house while there. The response from the owner was very fast and the issues were quickly taken care of. We had a good week.
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.
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...
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!!!
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!
Fabulous! First, we were welcomed by a beautiful sign for the whole family. Then a delicious charcuterie board was delivered! The house is beautiful with the most comfortable beds! It rained for 2 days and the kids spent all the time in the pool as it was covered. There were great pool toys there and a big float the kids loved. We loved sitting around the pool with all the comfortable seating. The house was perfect for our family! The kids loved the bunk bedroom and game room too! Great sitting areas for the whole family. We had a chef come in one night for my big birthday celebration and it was perfect. We all loved the house, and everyone wants to go back.Maghen was a great communicator. She checked in to make sure everything was going well. She told us that she had plenty of baby stuff for our 3-month-old. And she sure did! The house had everything you could ask for. It is so comfortable and perfect for families to be together.We went to the Jacksonville Zoo which is so close one day and it was so fun. I highly recommend this house for any gathering. Maghen was a joy to work with-we had to add an extra day due to our flight cancellation, and she was so accommodating and helpful. It was truly a magical weekend for me and my family.
The house was immaculate. We spent most of the time out by the pool playing games and watching ships go by. It was very entertaining. The kitchen is a cook's kitchen. We did a few outings to Amelia Island which is not far away. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you Meghan!
This property was the perfect family house! The host was so responsive and helpful with recommendations on things to do. I also loved that the property had everything you would need for your stay including sunblock, detergent, dish sponge, paper towels, etc. But our absolute favorite part was watching the dolphins and boats everyday off the dock. The view was incredible!!! We would definitely stay again!
We had an adult family reunion at The Island Estate and had an amazing time! Agree with many other reviews that the pictures do not fully capture how beautiful, spacious, clean, and well-equipped this home is for a visit. Maghen coordinated everything wonderfully, including all the information needed for a safe and comfortable stay as well as stocking us with snacks! We highly recommend The Island Estate and look forward to returning soon!
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.
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!
Maghen is a warm, kind and welcoming host who goes out of her way to make her guests comfortable. The home is exactly as pictured and Maghen even provides fishing and crabbing gear and pool toys so that you can enjoy all that this lovely house and property has to offer. Thank you again for hosting our family. We appreciate it!
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!
