Turning Tide · 1 chambre · Sans escaliers · Animaux admis

Turning Tide is the ground-floor one-bedroom, and it`s the one we send dog owners to — no stairs, and about a hundred yards of sidewalk between the front door and the Atlantic. Two minutes, towel over the shoulder.



It sleeps two in a queen with cotton linens, firm and soft pillows and good bath towels, with one full bathroom. The kitchen is fully stocked — Keurig with pods, tea, sugar, olive oil, salt and pepper, a blender, dishes, cookware, dish soap and paper towels — and a fold-out dining table keeps the room open when you`re not using it. There`s a washer and dryer in the unit, which is the difference between a long weekend and a proper week.

Smart TV with Netflix and Prime (use your own logins), a sound machine, a fast WiFi, and beach towels and chairs already waiting by the door.

Salt Life Food Shack is a two-minute walk for seafood after a beach day, Mellow Mushroom is right there, and Refinery is three minutes if you want an oceanview dinner. The pier is an eight-minute walk, Publix is two minutes in the car, Mayo is ten and TPC Sawgrass seventeen.

Keyless check-in on your own schedule, one dedicated parking space, and easy free street parking. You will have access to all the house and can use its amenities. Beach is just 2 min away.

Guest interaction will be on a need be basis. We are local, and can be reached if needed, but want to respect your privacy.

You`re in the north end of Jacksonville Beach, one short block from the Atlantic — about a hundred yards, or two minutes on foot.

Salt Life Food Shack is two minutes away for seafood and cold drinks after a beach day, and Mellow Mushroom is right there for pizza and craft beer. Refinery Jax Beach, one of the better oceanview dinners in town, is a three-minute walk. The Jacksonville Beach Pier — fishing, sunrise walks, and the center of the local surf scene — is an easy eight minutes on foot, and the downtown blocks around it run festivals and live music at Seawalk Pavilion through the warmer months.

For everything else: Publix is a two-minute drive, and Beaches Town Center in Neptune Beach adds another cluster of shops, restaurants and bars about five minutes up the road.

Most people drive here, and every unit comes with one dedicated parking space on the property (every spot is labeled). Street parking in the neighborhood is free and easy if you bring a second car.

When you`d rather not drive, download the Beach Buggy app from Google Play or the App Store — free rides around the beaches, and the local way to get to dinner or home from a night out. Uber and Lyft both run reliably here as well.

Driving times worth knowing: Publix 2 minutes, Beaches Town Center 5, Jacksonville Beach Golf Club 8, Mayo Clinic 10, TPC Sawgrass 17, downtown Jacksonville about 32, and Jacksonville International Airport about 40.

This building has stood a block from the Atlantic for a long time, and we`ve kept its character rather than gutting it — so you`ll find original details, a floor that isn`t perfectly level, and the small quirks that come with an older beach building. Everything works, everything is spotless, and the beds are genuinely comfortable. But it`s a well-loved older building rather than new construction, and sound travels the way it does in older buildings. Heron sits on the ground floor with a rental unit above it, so you`ll hear footsteps overhead now and then.

If you`re after brand-new finishes and total silence, this probably isn`t your match. If you want an honest Jax Beach place you can walk out of and be in the ocean two minutes later, you`ll be very happy here.
