About this house rental
Read full listing details. The home has a Queen-size bed in the front bedroom for 2 guests and a Full-size bed in the rear bedroom for 1-2 guests. In order to accommodate a family with children, 6 guests, the living space has a Queen-size futon which can be utilized as a sleeping arrangement for 2 kids for a total of 6. I do not list for 6 adults because I feel the space is not large enough to be comfortable for 6 adults. If booking and not sharing a bed, please be comfortable with a futon in a shared living space. Let me know if you need the futon made-up for sleeping when booking. If you book for 3-4 guests, I do not know if you will need the futon made-up for sleeping unless you let me know. I only prepare it when needed.
Train enthusiast or not, the undeniable thrill of passing freight trains from the rear of the property will put a smile on your face. A conductor may even give you a wave hello!
With many updates throughout, your stay will be nothing short of phenomenal. Plenty of towels, extra bedding, and provided essentials ensure a comfortable stay. You'll find ear plugs, sound machines, and black-out curtains to enhance your sleep. Nearby Springfield neighborhood offers brunch spots, breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants.
The home is centrally located North of Downtown Jacksonville with quick access to I-95 to easily visit the beaches and more. There are plenty of take-out and delivery options to choose from if you prefer to stay in and enjoy all of the amenities. This is a quiet neighborhood with a pre-school and fire station nearby. Enjoy evenings outdoors with a dining set and solar lighting. A fire pit and charcoal grill are also located in the backyard for guest's use (firewood and charcoal available for sale at nearby grocery store). No Washer/Dryer.
Local attractions: MOSH, Riverwalk, EverBank Stadium, Florida Theater, Vystar Ballpark, UF Health, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, Huguenot Memorial Park (Seasonal Beach Driving), Urban Greenway Hiking Trail (Emerald Trail), UNF, Mayo Clinic, Historic Downtown St. Augustine

Felix was an amazing host. Upon our arrival they were cutting and nearing up the yard for us. The rooms were nice and kept. Bathroom was clean. Kitchen was clean and had plenty of dishes and even had some spices! The neighborhood is quiet and the street is very narrow for a truck like ours but it was no problem. They left out enough towels, disinfectant wipes, kitchen towels, air fresheners, cleaning supplies ect. It’s everything you can ever need. LITERALLY. We wanted to extend our stay for a couple more weeks!! When we saw there was train activity I was curious and wondered exactly how close we would be. To my suprise IT WAS SO CLOSE. You could feel the house move and the CHOO CHOO from the train. My daughter loved hearing it and seeing it pass by. But it wasn’t so pleasant the first night lol. It took me two days to adjust and then it wasn’t so bad! My only downside to this was the bugs. As it’s described in the listing. I saw a lizard in the curtains in one of the rooms!! Which is bad if you’re iffy about bugs! But it was outweighed by hearing the beautiful blue birds that would visit us outside the backyard every morning. The only other complaint would be there aren’t washer/dryer at this house but there is a laundromat 5 mins away from the house in each direction. It’s also very far away from the shopping malls or the beach. But I appreciate how comfortable I was made to feel in the house. It has a very vintage, Old (in a good way) nostalgic feel to this house.

This was a good stay Felix was very thoughtful and responsive. Highly recommend him as our host. The location was convenient with any shopping you would need within a mile. Mall area's were a bit farther away but easy to access by interstate. Neighborhood was quiet. The only downfall would be the train activity. After a few days we were accustomed to them and they were not disturbing. All in all our stay was great! Jacksonville has so much history. Be sure to enjoy the Riverwalk, the Treaty Tree and the Farmers Market.
