Luxurious Craftsman in Historic San Marco

BerniceRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

The Hothouse-Couples Escape: Play-Relax-Reconnect

StephenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

Beach Cottage - less than 100ft from beach access

LizRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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!

Cozy Fruit Cove Cottage on Hobby Farm w/ Wildlife!

HowardRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

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.
