Mackenzie
I stayed for five days with my family in the main house, my grandmother walked around everyday pointing out different things she loved and snapping photos with her camera. We had more than enough room for four adults, two dogs, and two cats, we were able to spend a lot of time as a family indoors and out. I enjoyed the MANY amenities they had, from the hot tub, sitting by the koi fish pond, or chatting with the other visiting guests by the bar. If I ever need a place to stay in Jacksonville I will be back and prepared to go in the sauna ans try out the pizza oven.

Andrew was very responsive to our communications. The home was spacious and clean. Great location to the wedding venue. Andrew was cleaning the pool area as we arrived the Friday following Hurricane Helene. We greatly appreciated his quick attention. The outdoor space was enjoyed during our stay.

The house was very nice and loved the common area. Wish it could have been closer to the beach and other activities but overall very nice. It will be even better when the master bath is completed.

Jasmine
The house was just as described only I wasn’t aware of pool suite attached and cottage suite that caught me off guard when arriving other people were in the pool assuming it was a fully private stay. But they were friendly and enjoyed my time with family. The hot tub and sauna was not working wasn’t made aware until the day I arrived which was a big disappointment considering the price you pay with all those amenities. Andrew responded within 30 minutes. Made sure we had an easy check in and great first night. We will book from him again and recommend.

Walter
Place was beautiful! Main house was spacious. Backyard was a getaway just in itself. We rented both one of the pool house and then the main house,both wonderful. Never been to Fruit Cove area and location is peaceful quiet and again, beautiful. Would rent this location again. Andrew is great host and very responsive. We accidentally got locked out and had another tenant contact them for us and Andrew responded within a few minutes to help. Friendly and checked on how we were doing throughout stay if needed anything. We were well taken care of.

Jenna
Beautiful place to stay! Our neighbors were friendly during our time. The house was clean and spacious, kitchen was beautiful, dining area was good size. Great place to stay for a family or a group! The big bedroom shown in the pictures does not have a bathroom in it. There is a bathroom in the hallway and the other bathroom is in the other king bedroom. We had a group of 7 and would definitely stay here again!!

Amy
House is perfectly located in a quiet area, close to the grocery store and restaurants. Plenty of space for the family and kitchen was adequately stocked for those who like to cook. Outdoor area is relaxing and serene. We really enjoyed our time here and would recommend a stay here if in Jacksonville again.

Jessica
We went for a girls weekend away and we loved every minute of our time there. We loved lounging by the pool and laying on the queen bed swing outside. We loved the extras and thoughtful things they do throughout the home. The coffee room, having games, towels and so many other things. It felt like home. Thank you for letting us stay!

Mary
Our family of 9 had a wonderful time! The house was as described, clean and comfortable. We spent as much time outside as we did in. We also became friends with another family staying in one of the other units, we ended up having multiple dinners together. We would absolutely return again!
What a beautiful place to call home for the week….
Jennifer
What a beautiful place to call home for the week. This main house is so clean, spacious and comfortable. The beds are so cozy! We enjoyed everything about this house. The back yard is like a little oasis with lots of space to relax and enjoy your surroundings. Leaves would fall into the pool but no big deal because we used the provided net to skim off the leaves daily and enjoyed having the pool and the hot tub for our enjoyment. The propane fire pit would not stay lit however, Andrew came over to check it out right away. Despite not being able to use the fire pit there was so many other spaces to gather and relax and hangout. Even though you share the backyard space with others we never felt like we were in each other’s way. We actually enjoyed getting to know the others and had the best week ever!

Sue
Loved our stay at this lovely place in Fruit Cove. Pictures are exactly what it looks like. Beautiful, peaceful, relaxing and we had a lot of fun. Definitely loved the outdoor areas. Listening to the fountain sitting in the front to relaxing out back by the pool. Enjoyed peaceful walks around the neighborhood and ate at delicious restaurants in the area as well.
Met some wonderful people who stayed at other units on the property. We had the privilege of meeting the owners of this place and they are absolutely amazing.
Andrew, the property manager was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had.
Definitely will plan another return trip to this location.

Notes
★ COVID-19 SANITIZATION ★
Heath, safety, and wellbeing of our guests are of utmost importance to us. For this reason, we use a thorough and extensive process of cleaning after each check-out.
We charge a pet fee of $100 per stay for two pets maximum. This increases to $150 / week and $200 / month for longer term guests. Please submit a special offer with this additional fee included through the platform when you book the unit for more than 7 nights.
*If you neglect to inform us ahead of time that you are bringing a pet with you than we reserve the right to either TERMINATE your stay early or charge an additional $100 on top of the original pet fee.
The following additional charges apply to late check outs/early arrivals, assuming we can offer this at all (we often can’t so please never assume this will be allowed):
1 hr or less early arrival or late departure: $50
1-2 hr early arrival/late departure: $100
2-3 hr early arrival/late departure: $200
These fees are primarily in place to highly discourage late checkouts/early arrivals since this causes our cleaning service undue stress to prep the unit prior to your or the next set of guest’s arrival. This also increases the need for them to rush/cut corners, increasing the likelihood of them not cleaning the unit to the high standard which we hold them to.
REFUND DISCLAIMER:
Please note that if a refund is issued for your booking, the processing fee of 3.9% will not be refunded. The refunded amount will be the total paid minus the 3.9% processing fee per Stripe’s return policy. This applies to direct bookings and bookings made through select booking channels. Thank you for your understanding.
HOT TUB/POOL DISCLAIMER:
Please note that the use of the pool and/or hot tub is at your own risk. Neither the property manager nor the property owner shall be held liable for any injuries, accidents, or incidents that may occur in or around the pool/hot tub area. By using the pool or hot tub, guests acknowledge that they assume full responsibility for their own safety. We encourage guests to use caution and supervise any children or individuals who may need assistance.
● No cats allowed.
● No garage access. For liability reasons, per our insurance we must keep the garage doors closed. Why you may ask? In the past year we have had garage doors ran into, hit by trucks, fall off the tracks, and even our garage door motor knocked off the ceiling by a vehicle. Each time is generally a $1500+ fix.
● You must be 21 years of age or older to book a reservation, and an individual who is 21 years of age or older must be present throughout the duration of the reservation.
● Please no eating or drinking in the bedrooms (closed water bottles are an exception). Additional cleaning fees to remove food/drink stains will apply.
● This is a smoke-free property. Smoking of any kind is strictly prohibited inside the home or on the premises. Violation of this policy will result in a $200 fine to cover additional cleaning costs.
● Pick up all trash before departing. Place all garbage in an outside trash can.
● Please wash all dishes. If the dishwasher was used, please run and unload the dishwasher prior to
departure.
● Do not open the windows. This is due to the extra security measures we have installed.
●Do not overload the washer/dryer. Do not wash sandy beach items or towels in the units. Empty the dryer lint trap after EVERY USE. Additional fees will apply if units are damaged due to improper use.
● The storage room is to remain closed at all times.
● Consumables such as condiments or snacks may be left behind by previous guests if they are not empty. We try our very best to ensure that it is not expired or stale. HOWEVER, ultimately, it is up to the guests’
discretion and inspection to consume these items if they wish. The host does not take any responsibility
for the consumables.
● Please do not rearrange the furniture.
● If guests are found to have had a party without host permission which results in additional cleaning or
maintenance required, guests will be responsible for additional cleaning charges. In the unfortunate
event that neighbors are disturbed, GUESTS WILL BE ASKED TO VACATE THE PROPERTY
IMMEDIATELY.
● NO ILLEGAL ACTIVITY OR GUESTS WILL BE ASKED TO VACATE THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY
