Homes in Jacksonville

Luxurious Craftsman in Historic San Marco
I stayed at Michael’s for one of my parents hospital procedure. The house was in a great and safe location. It was a short drive to the hospital and we had everything we needed. The kitchen appliances are great and even though the house is older(as is most in the area), it had a modern remodel. Very clean and comfortable, I would stay again.

Lux Oasis: *Heated Pool, Spa/Hot Tub&Grill Retreat
My sisters and I came here to stay for the weekend to visit some family that lives in Jacksonville. The house was so fun! We love the pool and the hot tub! The backyard was amazing and the house was so nice and fun!

Cozy Home with Heated Private Pool and Patio
5 Stars – Wonderful Stay! Yuriy was a fantastic host—very attentive and quick to respond to any questions I had, which made our stay smooth and enjoyable. The home was extremely clean, comfortable, and felt just like home from the moment we arrived. My family and I especially loved the pool—it was a highlight of our trip! We had a great time and will definitely be booking this rental again for future visits to Jacksonville. Highly recommend!

The Hothouse-Couples Escape: Play-Relax-Reconnect
Steamy, Seductive, and Seriously Unforgettable Wow. The Hot House and Sexual Fun Sweat Shop is unlike any Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in—in the best possible way. From the moment we walked through the door, the energy was electric. The space is sultry, playful, and designed to awaken every sense. From mood lighting to sensual decor touches, every inch of this home whispers (or screams) indulgence. And then there’s the sweat shop… 🔥 Let’s just say it lives up to its name. Steamy, intimate, and full of surprises, it’s the kind of space where time disappears and inhibitions melt. We laughed, we explored, we sweated—and we loved every second. The host? Absolute perfection—respectful, discreet and clearly passionate about creating an atmosphere that’s safe, sexy, and unforgettable. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience. If you’re craving something daring, different, and deliciously decadent, book it. You won’t regret it—and you might not want to leave.

Canopy Cove
As always, great stay at Michael’s. Favorite house on the island, and years of memories here. It’s an incredible home with an artsy vibe, so comfy, and the pool/outdoor space are perfect for relaxing. Close to the grocery store, restaurants, and an awesome beach access. The neighborhood is great and really quiet, and we always look forward to our visit here. Thanks for being an awesome host, Michael. Love our time here.

MidCentury Guesthouse-NO Cleaning Fee+Restaurants
Enjoyed our stay here, beautiful little place would book again if in town!

Cute Pool Cottage in the Historic District
It was a nice stay and is exactly like the photos. The host is also very nice but compared to other things I saw it was a little small for what we paid; either way. It was a nice.

The Moody Loft (Murray Hill)
This is a perfect little spot for anyone staying for a short stay! The host gives excellent recommendations for restaurants/activities.

Historic and Modest Boho Inspired Apartment 6.0
It was the perfect place for our trip to Jacksonville. The location was really convenient as everything was pretty much a short drive away and the host gave us great recommendations for the area. I would absolutely stay here again as it was a high quality stay for a price that’s hard to get anywhere else.

Hip + Modern Florida Hideaway
We had a wonderful time in the Airbnb from Aaron and Leslie. Thank you

Charming private guesthouse near San Marco
Jared and Diana were fantastic hosts! The guesthouse was clean, cozy, and well-equipped. They responded quickly to any questions and made us feel very welcome. We'd happily stay here again!

Modern Riverside Private Studio
This Airbnb was great! I am so glad I decided to stay here. I enjoyed getting to know the beautiful and walkable area. The hosts were very friendly and I would highly recommend staying here.

Avondale Studio
My husband and I come at least once a year to Jacksonville to visit our kids. Glenn’s studio provides everything we need. The proximity to the park is key. We can walk to shops and restaurants and through the park. We will definitely return.
Pet-friendly cottages in Jacksonville

Beach Cottage - less than 100ft from beach access
I stayed for the month of March and wish I could have stayed much longer. This place met my needs perfectly. Although this is an older cottage (one of the original beach cottages that still line much of the West side of South Fletcher Ave. between Sadler and Simmons), it was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen was better equipped than many of the high end rentals I’ve stayed at and I loved that there was a small fenced in yard so my pup could be outside without a leash. Best of all was the beach access!

Charming Historic Beach Cottage
The place was super cute and close to the beach, as well as restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Cindi was extremely thorough with her check-in and check-out directions, making everything very simple. The home was great and quiet. Cindi's place has more condiments and kitchen tools and utensils than any other place I've been to. It was truly a delight all around!

Just North of Downtown, Fenced Yard, BBQ, Patio
Great & very clean place! Near all attractions we wanted to go to and all the amenities inside the house were wonderful. Nice and very attentive host!

*The Poolside Cottage"-Wifi/Pool
Had a nice stay and grandkids loved the pool. Games to be play. Also great for large families with the multiple cottages on the property. Definitely recommend this place. Would definitely stay again. Andrew & Melody are great hosts theyresponded quick if we had any issues.

Tropical Summer Getaway | Team Joseph Ellen
We had a wonderful stay at Andrew’s place. The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-located. Super adorable too! Andrew was incredibly responsive and provided clear instructions for check-in and local recommendations. The neighborhood was quiet and in the perfect location to where we needed to be. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area and would gladly stay here again! We’re already talking about our next visit to St. Augustine and staying here!

Waterfront , Cottage Retreat Close to Mayo Clinic
This was such a cute space! Deborah made the most out of a studio area and I was amazed how much was available at the house. It was a short stay for me so I didn't get to enjoy the patio, but the house was very clean and organized. Bottled water/snacks were a nice surprise too.

Cozy Fruit Cove Cottage on Hobby Farm w/ Wildlife!
The house was great! It was very clean and well maintained with everything that you would need including coffee, towels, treats and even eggs from the chickens on the property. There was a nice patio and great walk in shower. Whenever the owners needed to come and tend to the animals on the property they would let us know so it was not an issue at all. I would definitely stay again and also recommend if you have family that live in the area instead of going to a hotel.

Sea Spray Beach House on the Ocean!
Great house with an even better view.

Your guide to Jacksonville
All About Jacksonville
Located in the northeast corner of Florida, Jacksonville is the state’s biggest city, both in terms of geographic size — it even dwarfs Los Angeles — and population. While the city’s sprawling layout can be daunting to visitors, you can concentrate your visit here on two areas. The neighborhoods flanking the St. Johns River, the historic center of Jacksonville, offer a bevy of urbane pleasures, from cafes and boutiques to clubs. Just a 25-minute drive east of downtown, you'll find 22 miles of Atlantic Ocean beaches. Escape to Amelia Island for a relaxed getaway, go surfing on Atlantic Beach, wander along the Jacksonville Beach Fishing Pier, or while away the day on the white sands at Neptune Beach.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Jacksonville
From October through April, the weather in Jacksonville is glorious: sunny, relatively dry, and far warmer than in the northern United States. Sure, the temperature may dip into the 40s Fahrenheit in January, but frost and snow are almost unheard of, and you can usually be comfortable wearing short-sleeve shirts with perhaps a light jacket for the evening. (No matter the season, pack sunscreen and mosquito repellent.)
The snowbirds (Florida’s winter residents) return north by May because the temperature here climbs into the high 80s and 90s Fahrenheit in summer, with humidity to match. The Atlantic Ocean does keep the heat from becoming too oppressive, but summer rains are frequent. Hurricane season peaks in early autumn, so if you’re scheduling a trip to Florida then, consider travel insurance.
Top things to do in Jacksonville
Timucuan Preserve
Take the river ferry to this 46,000-acre ecological and historical preserve, managed by the U.S. National Park Service, for a fascinating counterpoint to Jacksonville’s urban charms. This area was settled by the Timucua people for millennia, and you can explore the region’s history by perusing the Visitor Center exhibits. See what unspoiled Florida once looked like by hiking through the preserve’s salt marshes or kayaking along its backwaters.
Riverside and Avondale
The historic neighborhoods of Riverside and Avondale are also among Jacksonville’s most forward-thinking, where clothing boutiques and hip restaurants are interspersed with placid streets and beautifully preserved Mediterranean Revival homes. The bohemian vibe in the 5 Points area is particularly strong, and art lovers can spend a day or two exploring Riverside, including the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens and the popular Saturday-morning Riverside Arts Market.
