About this property

RB | Ocean views and steps from the sand!

  • Welcome to Big Blue: The Groundswell, a 2-bedroom oceanview apartment just steps from the sand in Jacksonville Beach. This ground floor unit sleeps 6 and puts you 30 seconds from the beach with partial ocean views from the front porch and master bedroom.

    Both bedrooms feature queen beds with premium linens, and there's a full bathroom plus a well-equipped kitchen for beach day meal prep. The unit shares an oceanside porch with three other vacation rentals in our 4-unit building — perfect for morning coffee with ocean breezes. Please note that guests use any bunk beds at their own risk per our insurance requirements.

    Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen with Keurig coffee maker, in-unit washer and dryer for sandy clothes, and high-speed WiFi for staying connected. Beach towels are provided so you can head straight to the sand. Five shared parking spaces are available first-come, first-served, plus street parking and a public lot next door.

    You're a 9-minute walk to Mellow Mushroom for craft beer and pizza, and a 10-minute stroll to Salt Life Food Shack for their famous fish tacos. The Jacksonville Beach pier is just a 2-minute drive for fishing and people-watching. Beaches Town Center with shops and dining is 3 minutes by car.

    Keyless entry makes check-in seamless, and we stock essentials like coffee, shampoo, and laundry detergent. Pets are welcome for $30 per day. Please note there's an ongoing city renovation project that may cause minor construction noise or road access limitations — we have 80+ properties across Jacksonville Beach and can help find an alternative if this concerns you.

    A refundable security deposit or optional damage waiver may be required. Guests will be given the option to choose between a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver prior to check-in.

    Your Nomad Hospitality team responds within an hour with any questions. Need multiple units for a large group? We manage the entire building plus dozens more nearby properties.

    Pets are welcome, but NO PETS ON FURNITURE or there will be an additional $150 charge if there is evidence of hair on couch cushions or bedding where it was obvious a pet was laying.

Beachfront vacation

The unit was clen, well appointed, and right near the beach as advertised. Communication with the management team was efficient and prompt. We would not heistate to stay there again - but would seek to rent one of the second floor units with more balcony space and a better view of the ocean.

Beach walks in the morning only steps away.

Having the beach outside our front door gave our morning walks a whole new meaning. It was peaceful and serine. Even though the access is public and next to a public parking, I highly recommend this location for those that relish a walk in the smooth sand of a very clean beach. We truly enjoyed the ease of our stay in a property well stocked for our needs. Especially the full size indoor laundry! Thank you.

Disappointing for the price point

I wanted to love this stay. Ok for the pros....This place is in a great location in Jacksonville beach walking distance to the beach and close to Neptune, Ponte Vedra with plenty of restaurants and bars near by. The interior is lovely and clean. These are big deal breakers I wish I had known upon booking: The check in time is 4pm and they will offer early check in but you have to pay extra. In all of my years staying at Air B&B and VBRO's I've never been denied a free early check in as long as the tenants were out and it was cleaned. I asked for a 2pm check in and paid the $25 in order to get in to take a Zoom meeting. Coming from the airport, I needed to get settled and needed a quiet place to "land" so I paid the fee. It turns out, I got denied early check in, with no reason day of, well after my Uber dropped me off in the rain and the code to unlock the door repeatedly didn't work. I messaged and called Nomad Hospitality to see why it wasn't working and only after it was too late (and I missed my meeting) did they inform me that they denied the early check in ---this is the same company that offered me early check in payment link the day or two before so that left me extremely bewildered and frustrated. Check out was 11am promptly. That's 19 hours for $350 1 night stay. I asked for a 12pm check out given I had another meeting in the AM and would not have enough time to pack up after. DENIED. Little things could have been done to accommodate a much better experience.

Beach accessible was great. Everything was awesome. We slept very comfortable because they didn't govern the AC. Had supplies there to get us started for at least three or four days it was great.

Cute Property, Great Location

This is a very cute property with a great location! It was footsteps from the beach! The property was clean and the beds were comfortable. You can hear the neighbors walking upstairs, if that bothers you, but it is no worse than a hotel. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend staying at this location.
