Beach house vacation rentals in Jacksonville

We had a great time at Derek’s! The guest house was particularly amazing and cozy! The main house had plenty of space and was stocked with amenities. The only thing I’d note is that the pool doesn’t have a railing, which made it difficult for our parents to get in and out. But we loved the grill and firepit and having a tv outside. It was the perfect backyard for a weekend away. A Publix is right down the street too! We would definitely stay here again!

Eason’s place is perfection. Everything was exactly as described and went above and beyond our expectation. Clear communication, absolutely no issues during our day. It’s in a great location and so close to the beach. 10/10 recommend you book it!

our stay here was amazing! the place was clean and host was very nice and communicated regularly. it is just a short walk to a beautiful beach too. pool was nice, hot and clean. lots of little extra things like spices, ziplock bags, dish soap, and body care. the location couldn't have been more perfect for what we had wanted. thanks for a great stay!!

The house is as described, in great shape and the pool area is a perfect hangout. We had 7 family members staying and the fact that the house had 3.5 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms made it super comfortable. Jody communicated within 10 minutes to all my questions . We will definitely stay in this house again.. modern, comfortable and a walk across the street to the beach and minutes to downtown St. Augustine.

Our family of 4 and my mom stayed here while visiting family for a wedding reception over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Denise went out of her way to provide some very thoughtful welcome gifts for our family! She was super fast and responsive to any questions we had before or during our trip. We were blown away walking into Once Upon a Tide for the first time and seeing how beautiful it was! It truly felt like you were staying in a luxury beach house! Everything was clean, well-decorated, organized, and well-labeled to prevent any confusion about where things were or how to operate them. Our boys loved having night swims in the pool with the LED lights on, and we also enjoyed that the beach was just a few blocks away and easily accessible by golf cart. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Once Upon a Tide, and we were so sad to leave!

Brendon’s house was perfect for our families St. Augustine getaway. It’s a great location in a very cute and picturesque neighborhood. The location was great for relaxing but close enough to downtown with just a short drive. We were a family of 7 & never felt cramped once, we all had our personal space and the two living rooms were definitely a bonus! The pool & jacuzzi were absolutely perfect and we spent majority of our time outside enjoying the space. We can’t wait to stay again on our next trip to St. Augustine!

Wonderful property, conveniently located near everything St. Augustine has to offer. The host made everything so easy and was very responsive to a few questions we had upon arrival - would definitely stay here again next time we're in St. Augustine. Thanks so much for sharing your house with us!

Such a beautiful setting! The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful! The outside is well landscaped and kept very neat. The inside is very clean. There were plenty of towels and start ups for toilet paper, paper towels, dish and dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent. The beds were very comfortable. The beach is very easily accessible, just across the highway and a short walk. The area of beach was not crowded at all. The pool at the house was a great bonus after a long day at the beach. We enjoyed being close to town and many restaurants and shops. The host gave specific directions for everything and was easy to communicate with. We will definitely stay again!

Great time Thanks we will be back

This place was a perfect beach house setting which was exactly what I was wanting for my vacation experience with my kids. The host was gracious and responsive. Messages always came across nice and respectful. Checking in and out was easy. I would definitely stay here again. It was so much fun!

We had a great time here. The view and beach are amazing. Just steps to the water and we saw dolphins every single day that we were there. Lots of pelicans flying by throughout the day as well! Definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for an awesome beach. There are so many beautiful shells to be found on the beach! We also found a couple shark teeth, which was very exciting! The Reef, Aunt Kate’s, and Caps are all extremely close, with the Reef being within walking distance. Both decks are amazing and really help keep you cool and out of the sun. The house has a ton of beach toys, boogie boards, and chairs to use on the beach. Tons of lizards outside, which we thought was cool. We did see a few cockroaches in the house and had a run in with a Huntsman spider, but in no way did it impact our stay and it was to be expected. It is Florida after all! The house was very clean and we loved our stay here!

Beautiful location, comfortable home, and highly recommend for anyone considering a beach stay. We had a great time.

My Wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and were extremely satisfied with the stay! The place was exactly as shown in the photos and the location and view out the back were very well worth the price! the beach is very sparsely populated, so we felt like we had a very private strip of the beach the whole trip. the inside was very clean and well stocked on everything we needed from baking supplies, coffee, and linens. I would definitely recommend the place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in a scenic location! I would also note that the distance to everything we wanted to do in saint Augustine was within 10-15 minutes of driving which was very convenient. Our host Heidi was very responsive and friendly too! One last note there is a very nice outdoor couch on the back deck not shown in the photos that seats about 4-6 people that we took full advantage of during our trip!

We are so grateful to Tim and Melody for providing a space where our family could be at home for a long weekend. My partner and I are in the process of creating a blended family, so this time together - and the need for it to be peaceful and joyful - was especially important for our young kids. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. We will be back!

PLEASE READ!! I know the repercussions negative ratings can do for business which is why I rated this 5 star but you should def read this review if traveling with a larger party. We booked this place because myself and another mom were bringing our sons and a few friends down for a concert at the amphitheater. We particularly liked the outdoor space for them. We saw the rule about 10pm being quiet hours and knew we’d be at the concert at 10pm but mainly wanted the outdoor space to enjoy for the afternoon hours after the beach and before leaving out for the concert. Not an hour into being there (6pm) we get a message from the host threatening to kick us out for noise. We had LIGHT music playing and just the voices of some playing ping pong. No one was partying/excessive noise. Point being it seems quiet hours are really for all hours. The rest of the trip we walked on eggshells wondering if we were too loud. Not recommended for large groups or groups with young adults looking to enjoy

We stayed here for my husbands graduation weekend and loved it. The house easily hosted a party of more than 50. Patricia was knowledgeable and able to recommend caterers and had a wealth of decor to match our theme. The house is set up perfectly for hosting, it has lots of small touches to feel at home and offers multiple areas to congregate which allowed us to have multiple activities simultaneously

Literally 50 steps to the sand, 10-15 to restaurants, perfect for girlfriend getaway or family getaway. Jodi was extremely responsive and we couldn't have asked for a better house or host!

JJ’s Beach House was amazing!! Some friends and I stayed for the weekend to celebrate birthdays and college graduation, and it was amazing! The house was clean, walkable to the beach, and so cozy! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

I loved the house and even more the location, it had everything it offered, we felt very comfortable, without a doubt I would rent it again

We wanted a little place to staycation and this was the BEST! We were able to bring our pups with us to enjoy the beach life. The yard was a great value-add and the place was perfectly located in relation to the beach, shops and restaurants!

We have stayed at this house several times and absolutely love it! It’s the most amazing location on a great street with easy access for early morning beach walks. We will most definitely be staying again soon!

Perfect location, beautiful beach, very comfortable house. Would definitely return!

They were very responsive when we had an issue with a window and offered to come have it fixed immediately even though it was a holiday. The location was amazing. Beach was almost empty so it was great for being able to monitor the children. The tide pools that formed were great for finding fish, crabs, and other critters. There were several sea turtle nests and one appeared during our visit. The warm outdoor shower was such a pleasant surprise and multiple hoses available to clean off sandy items. There was ample seating for our large party and we were all pretty happy with our stay!

This property was absolutely gorgeous! The beach was beautiful and very private. We were literally steps from the water and could hear the ocean waves from every room of the house. There is plenty of outdoor space and chairs to lounge and soak up the sun. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and hope to book this property again!
