Pros* Close to assisted living facility of a family member* Allows dogs* Good amount of space* Comfortable beds* Large dining table * The house had not been cleaned from prior guests when we arrived. Management sent a cleaning crew. Cons* The uncleaned house delayed our entry for 3 hours, this after a long day of travel, & our plans were disrupted. (Ironically, we'd received an automated message inviting us to arrive earlier for an additional fee). * The kitchen was inadequately supplied, & we needed to request some basic items in order to cook a meal (pot mitts, measuring cups & spoons; & we were glad we brought a wine bottle opener). * On Christmas, while using water only in the kitchen, we lost water throughout the house. We felt bad someone had to come out on Christmas, but the house was uninhabitable. It took a few hours for the maintenance man to arrive. He was pleasant & restored the water.* There were other problems. One example: the upstairs bedroom closet has no shelving & no place to hang clothes. An offer of some compensation would have been appropriate, but no such offer was made. And while Anna initially apologized when learning the house was uncleaned, no further apologies were offered & no further concern was expressed. We understand none of these issues were intentional, but we experienced multiple disruptions that made for an unpleasant stay. The house is suffering from neglect & could benefit from care & attention for future guests.

Florida Family Visit

We stayed here to visit my elderly mother-in-law who lives nearby. This home is located in a nice quiet neighborhood. Close to grocery, coffee shops and restaurants. Plenty of room for our family of 5. The beds are comfortable and the house is clean. The upstairs loft is great with a bed and newer bathroom. There is a basketball court and ball in the back yard which my 2 year old grandson enjoyed. As mentioned by others there is no yard in back for kids to play but this did not bother us. We did not use the hot tub. The windows are a bit dirty. There were bugs on the front porch (grasshoppers maybe) but not in the house. I noticed a few very small flying black bugs in the master bathroom our first night but no where else in the house and didn't notice them the rest of our stay. It is Florida! The code to get in was delivered to us through the app as stated and the host checked in via messaging as well to make sure our stay was going well. Overall nice stay.

Awesome Home

This home was everything the site claimed. Plenty of room. We had 8 adults and it was comfortable. Was easy to get in and communication was excellent even when I needed some assistance late at night getting into the property. It was my fault but response time was immediate.

Short stay in Paradise

Two families from GA in Jax for a funeral. A place to sleep and dress/change, only one dinner and two breakfasts use of the kitchen/dining. Paradise was clean, well equipped, and beds were comfy. A/C struggled a bit with outside temp at 95 but bedrooms were cool. Overall a good choice for families to mingle vs. motel options.

Convenient and Quiet

The home was clean and quiet. It was a very convenient, short drive to LaVenture Grove, where my daughter got married. We had plenty of room for our family of 8 and a nice large kitchen to prepare some food together.

From Kentucky to Fruit Cove

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house full of character. It was very comfortable & convenient to so many things. Our son & three grandsons live in Fleming Island so it wasn’t a long drive at all. The only thing missing was mixing bowls but other than that, it was great!

Quick trip

Property was clean and well stocked for our stay. The owners rapid response to our questions concerning use of the hot tub made it possible for us to enjoy the warm waters in the chilly morning hours. Everyone had a great stay and we all thought the property was a good value.

A few improvements could be made

There was hardly any toilet paper in the house which was problematic with a large group. There was no tissues in any of the bathrooms either. We booked the house for a wedding that was taking place at St. John’s Golf and Country Club. Getting ready was difficult at this house. Loft bedroom had nowhere to hang formal wear and the vanity had zero counter space. More seating in the living room would have been nice - ditch the beanbag. Grown ups don’t want to sit on it. Since we were a large group we had 4 to 5 cars in the driveway. Wish the creepy giant heads weren’t in the driveway wasting space. We liked the location and it was clean and beds were comfortable enough. We didn’t cook at all so can’t comment on the kitchen. The weather was bad so we couldn’t enjoy the back porch but looked like a nice place to hang out.

Comfortable and fun

Our stay was great. The house was comfortable with plenty of room for our group. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook. The backyard was nice with a porch swing and basketball hoop to play around with. We didn’t use the hot tub but I’m sure it would have been good also. Communication with the host was easy and they were super helpful when we left a watch behind.
