It’s a cute little house and really close to the beach and with in walking distance to shops and restaurants. If you fill all the beds in this rental you will be a little cramped on space when eating but it worked for my husband and me. ##### Mary D.

Jul 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Adorable Little Property Just Steps From the Beach! The property was perfectly sized for my family of four (two teenage boys, my husband, and myself.) Everything was clean and modern, and the keyless entry made everything so smooth and convenient. The courtyard was perfect because we could leave all our beach stuff out under an overhang. Nothing got wet in the rain, and we never had to drag sandy stuff in to the unit. It is literally a 1/2 block to the beach from the unit, and there is a ramp to get across the wide stretch of sand at the entrance. I couldn't have asked for an easier walk! Overall, we were very pleased with the location, the manager, and the experience overall. Highly recommend! ##### Jamie H. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Shana H. May 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location but small The location is great! We used to live in Jax and this is close to a lot of restaurants and the beach. Parking was easy and close. Be aware that you’re on the back property (that wasn’t clearly disclosed to us). It is very small. We are a family of 5 with 3 kids between the ages of 5-11 and it was very tight. There is a beach cart, cooler and chairs but you will need to bring other items like an umbrella, boogie boards, buckets and shovels if you have kids. The kitchen was bare minimum- oil Spray for pans but that’s it - if you want to cook, you’ll need to bring a lot. There was no cookie/baking sheet. The air conditioners need to be kept at a certain temperature otherwise they will leak so it can get warm & stuffy. Somewhat pricey for the size compared tonight VRBO’s. ##### Shana H. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lauri G. Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute It is in the back of the property as others have mentioned. So you share with another place you have to walk by first to get to this units front door. We didn't know this and tried the code on the front location and it worked so we walked in on someone else. The location to the beach was great, just a quick walk. It is clean but we did have bugs, including ants in the kitchen. Had to buy a closed container for our food. We thought the second bedroom was really cute. I would say overall it is fine for 2 people but would be tight in the general area for any more. All things above wouldn't stop me from staying again BUT it had a really bad smell in the entire place. That is also mentioned in another review. It is a musty type smell and I'm not sure how to eliminate it but that made the stay less desirable. All our luggage/clothes had to be cleaned once home because they picked up that smell. ##### Lauri G. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mildred V.

Perfectly stocked! We will definitely be returning. ##### Ronnetha S. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura C. Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Steps from the beach The Whale 2 Cottage is at the back of the lot, on which the owner owns both cottages. This makes the cottage feel very secluded. The shared courtyard features chairs, a garden, beautiful flowers, and space for BBQing. I loved having a huge shower and a fabulous W/D set. May return to rent both cottages with another family. ##### Laura C. Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenny H.

The location was perfect and it has all the necessities needed for a beach getaway. It’s conveniently located for walking distance to many restaurants and the beach is only steps away. Everything is recently remodeled, super clean, and the property uses 100% of the available space to maximize usage. It’s small but you will not be missing anything. Bathrooms are large given the space and they owners are very pet friendly with pet towels available. Love having beach wagon, chairs and umbrella… so you don’t have to pack extra. We will definitely be back on our short trip getaways. Thanks again! ##### Kenny H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deb D.

Our 85 year old Dad lives in Jacksonvile, so we were able to spend the day with him.This place was perfect. It is exactly as described and in the pictures. So close to the beach with plenty of beach chairs, towels coolers, anything you need. The beds were so comfortable, I had the best sleep in a long time. The filtered water and oce maker was a life saver since it was so hot.Chris was very quick to answer when I had a question. This is a big plus.This will be a place I will want to stay everytime. ##### Deb D.
