Step inside this Ortega duplex unit - a well-equipped two-bedroom retreat tucked into one of Jacksonville's most charming riverside neighborhoods. As a private unit within a duplex (not the full duplex), you get the comfort of a home-like space with a straightforward, self-sufficient setup that works equally well for weekend getaways and extended stays.
Living Space
The living room puts a genuine home theater experience at the center of your evenings - a 100-inch projector and a plush sectional sofa create the kind of setup that makes it easy to lose track of time. Whether you're streaming a film after a day on the water, hosting a low-key game night with board games from the shelf, or simply decompressing, the space gives you real options. A dedicated workspace with wifi sits nearby, keeping remote workers and trip planners covered.
Sleeping Arrangements
Both bedrooms offer queen memory-foam beds dressed in soft linens, with clothing storage to help you properly unpack rather than live out of a bag. The layout is calm and uncluttered, designed for restful nights whether you're here for two days or two weeks.
Kitchen & Dining
The full kitchen is stocked for everyday cooking - refrigerator, freezer, stove, microwave, and a solid range of cooking basics including pots and pans, dishes and silverware, a blender, toaster, baking sheet, rice maker, bread maker, and wine glasses. A tea and coffee bar with a coffee maker and hot water kettle gives mornings a comfortable rhythm before you head out.
Bathroom
The bathroom is refreshed and well-supplied, with hot water, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower gel, and a hair dryer - everything you need to get ready without having to think twice.
Outdoor & Water Access
The Ortega River sits close by, and the area rewards those who want to get on the water. Guests can take advantage of free kayak rentals through Ortega Outdoors and discounted jet ski rentals with Evolution Jetsports - two easy ways to make the most of Jacksonville's waterways right from the neighborhood.
Parking, Entry & Safety
Free parking on the premises comes with access to a level 2 EV charger (220V, 12-35 mph charge rate) - a practical bonus for electric vehicle drivers. Self check-in is handled through a keypad for a smooth, flexible arrival. Exterior security cameras are positioned around the property and activated by motion only, with no cameras inside the unit. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and a fire extinguisher are in place for added peace of mind.
Location
This duplex unit sits in the Ortega area of Jacksonville, surrounded by tree-lined streets, riverfront parks, local dining, and shopping. Downtown Jacksonville and NAS Jacksonville are both accessible from here, making the location practical for visitors and military families alike. A laundromat is nearby for longer stays.
