Highly Recommend

Thanks for allowing us to stay in your nice home! I chose this property as it was close to my son's house. If you know Jacksonville at all... you'll know Mandarin as an older neighborhood, but safe. It exceeded my expectations... it's in an area with lots of family homes that are well manicured. The need for a double bed+ in the second bedroom would be my only critique. The home was decorated very cute with real furniture (NOT the IKEA crap you find in many rental homes). Great kitchen with everything you need to cook, a fire pit out back, super comfy sofa, and nice bathrooms. Very pleased!

Great stay while in town for family

This was a great place to kick back as we were in town for a family funeral. The space is lovely and relaxing. Saw a Wood Stork out back which was a highlight! Thanks for having us!

Basically A Positive Experience

For our purposes the location and layout of the property was ideal. We can understand the 'no shoes inside' policy, but the dirt and grit on the floor made it uncomfortable to adhere to. Solution: We took it upon ourselves to mop the floors with a damp towel making it now comfortable to go without shoes inside. The same held true to the lanai, making it unusable, but not critical to our needs. Television viewing was also a challenge. Limited to only live streaming channels, even with log-in assistance from the host, we were unable to access any local channels. Solution: We went the the conveniently close Walmart and purchased a 'rabbit ear' antenna, connected it to the RF connector behind the TV and enjoyed all local and network over-the-air programming for the duration of our stay. Suggestion to host: Make such and antenna option available. It only cost $16.00 and we pulled in 39 over-the-air channels. All in all the property served our needs and would recommend it.
