Step outside to your own fenced backyard, where the hot tub and pergola create an inviting spot to relax in the evening. The beach is about a 12–15 minute walk away, making it easy to head out for a morning walk, swim, or sunset stroll. When you're ready to explore beyond the neighborhood, you'll also be close to local restaurants, coffee shops, attractions, and major roads.

Guests will have private access to their own townhome, including the full interior, attached garage, and fenced backyard with private hot tub and pergola. There is another separate unit on the property, but each unit is independently private and has its own private backyard.

Having a car is convenient for exploring the beaches and surrounding areas, and the home provides parking for up to two vehicles—one in the attached garage and one in the driveway. Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are also convenient options for getting around Jacksonville Beach and heading out for dinner or entertainment.
