Rustic Garden Cottage - Walkable Historic District

Rustic Garden Cottage -Walkable Historic District. Full kitchen, light snacks provided, a private enclosed garden, and located in the beautiful historic Avondale neighborhood, on the banks of the St John's River and just outside of downtown Jacksonville, FL. Centrally located, it's a short walk to the Shops and Restaurants of Avondale.

The space

Rustic Garden Cottage with a queen Tempur-Pedic adjustable bed, and a pull-out sofa bed. The sofa bed is an upgraded memory foam mattress, that is surprisingly comfortable. There is a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size stove and refrigerator. Light snacks are provided. Coffee, Cream, Sugar, Microwave Popcorn, Muffin Mix, Chips, Trail Mix/Nuts, Cliff Bars, some sodas.

My husband and I both worked for the USDA Forest Service for a number of years, and the apt is an eclectic collection of our times spent outdoors.

Shampoo, Conditioner, Lotion, and a variety of toiletries are supplied.

Guest access

Full access to backyard garden. Feel free to open the french doors when the weather is nice and enjoy the butterfly and succulent garden. Take in your morning coffee under the pergola, or perhaps stay in for the evening and utilize the grill.

We have a washer-dryer in the main house, that you are more than welcome to use. Just message us to let us know.

Complete privacy in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood
The cottage is well equipped. Air conditioning worked great. The bed is comfortable. Bathroom is very clean with a good shower and tub. A very neat property with a charming, fenced yard. Worked well for my small dog. In a quiet location with beautiful trees and well-kept homes. There, is a small neighborhood restaurant/boutique district several blocks away. Also a large, nearby park. Area felt very safe. Highly recommended.

Love this little place
It’s so cute and convenient to all the places we needed to go. Walking distance to downtown Avondale. Short drive over the tracks to Murray hill. It’s 13 mins to San Marco and a 23 min drive to St. John’s town center. Quite neighborhood and so beautiful. Definitely booking again for all future trips.

Cozy and comfortable stay!
This Rustic Garden Cottage was so comfortable and cozy! It was so well equipped and supplied with everything you could imagine needing on a stay away from home. The whole process and stay was one of the most enjoyable stays we have ever experienced through VRBO. Easy walk to beautiful river views and nice little neighborhood with many dining options. We highly recommend this rental!

Christmas in Jacksonville
I had the opportunity to spend just over a week at this delightful Avondale property. This is a comfortable, clean, light, beautiful cottage in a quiet area of Jacksonville. I look forward to staying again on my future visits to see family.

Quiet, peaceful and safe. Loved this little place ❤️
I rented this place with my dogs to attend the UKI US Open at the JEC. Traveling alone I was most concerned about safety and traveling distance to the venue. I could not have been more pleased. Super cute and comfortable and clean with everything i needed. Fenced in yard for the dogs. I felt totally secure and absolutely would not hesitate on renting this place again. Thank you so much Allison!
