We had never played bocci ball court style before this past weekend and had an absolute blast in competitive play! Everyone and especially the kids enjoyed swimming in the heated pool while the adults hung out and enjoyed the good eats in and around the very spacious patio table while watching the game on the large outdoor tv. The decor inside made you feel like you were in another country far away besides the 5 blocks to Jax beach just steps away. We enjoyed walking to check out the sunsets and playing in the waves. We would definitely recommend Surf Mod to friends and family again and use Welcome Home Rentals as our go to for any Jax Beach stays in the future!

We really enjoyed our stay in Jax at this unique home. The location is great- walkable to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the owner/mgt company was super-responsive to us during our visit. Quiet neighborhood - nice place to relax.

Property is well organized and very clean. The house itself is small but the outdoor space was awesome. Funky fun decor made the stay a great change of pace.
6 / 10Average·May 2023
This property was okay. I travel frequently for business and pleasure and I am not picky. Yet, I was so happy to leave this place after my stay. The house is so small and cramped and it is full of random decor that takes up a lot of space. The fact that the title says Design Masterpiece is misleading. The pictures make it look so much bigger. Two people cannot fit in the kitchen so making meals is annoying. The bedrooms have only room for the beds and 1-2 small tables. There was nowhere to put your suitcase/clothing as the closets are teeny tiny and there were no hangers or luggage racks. The pool equipment is so noisy and up against the house that it kept people in our group up all night. The landscape lights are on 24/7 and they shine into the windows at night even though there is a thin window shade. We had two SUVs and could not fit them in the driveway side by side. The pool and backyard are great and that was the redeeming factor of our stay. I feel like I way overpaid considering the quality of this place.
