Our host answered our questions within minutes. We had trouble opening the door to the house. That being said, the place was comfortable and clean and just sweet. There were donuts waiting for us when we arrived and fresh roses in a vase. So nice. The location was perfect. My husband was at Mayo Clinic and I couldn't have asked for a better location. We just really enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much.I have one suggestion that might improve the stay. There is only one mirror. Maybe put one more mirror in the spare bedroom. Other than that small inconvenience it was great.
We spent most of our time at the hospital so not too many pictures.  But the good news is everything went wonderfully.

Great location

Not only is the house pet friendly, the entire neighborhood is. We spent a few days there and got to know a few of the neighbors and their pets. The house has a private yard which is great. The house itself was clean, super homey and has a great layout.

Delightful!

We had a great time! Our second time renting from this owner and she is a great decorator. She thought of everything - including dog towels and a cooler that can go to the beach. An easy 3 min walk to the beach.

Met All Expectations

Had a short stay for two (2) with our two (2) dogs. Property was extremely well maintained and very clean on arrival. Perfect property for those bringing dogs as back yard was fully fenced and secured. Only a 1/2 block walk to beach access which makes this property very beach friendly. Great location also within walking distance to many JAX beach restaurants and bars. All home furnishing are very well maintained and comfortable. Highly recommend this property for your next JAX beach stay.

Wonderful Little Beach Cottage

We had a wonderful time. The cottage is beautifully decorated. The host goes the extra mile by providing little amenities that mean a lot when you forget to bring something. It's a 2 minute walk to the beach and extra beach equipment is provided. The host was great with communicating with us for any issues. 10/10 would stay here and any of the other cottages again!

Nice Beach Getaway

After Hurricane Helene hit us in WNC, we decided to evacuate and head to Jacksonville. After a couple of days in a hotel, we booked a one week stay at Twin Palms. It had everything we were looking for--clean, comfortable, and just steps from the beach. Chris was extremely responsive and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. For anyone looking for the beach experience, Twin Palms is the place. We'll be back!

No hot tub!

The property was in a perfect location! I loved it but it didn’t have a hot tub as advertised. Also we check all mattress for bed bugs & when we checked the twin beds there were not any mattress covers & bright yellow pee stains on them. Please change your mattress out and take down the hot tub!

Great location

We enjoyed the location and the amenities the home offered. It’s a great base for Mayo and the beach. Agree with another reviewer that there is a definite smell in the home. I am not sure if it is musty or old smoke. There were air deodorizers around the home to try help but in our case just made it worse.

Only one issue

Twin Palms is a beautiful, clean, well-stocked cozy cottage with every essential you could need during your stay. The host responded quickly and was very helpful. However, my daughter and I are in a sensitive group, because we both have asthma. There was a definite musty/moldy smell inside the house. There was no visible signs of mold anywhere, but we did struggle with breathing symptoms while we were inside the house. It was especially troublesome at night. It didn't seem to bother my husband and son all that much. It wasn't bad enough to need to check out early, but I thought those people who struggle with asthma may benefit from this information- especially since there is no cancelation policy once you check in. Also, the floor was uneven and soft in some places so it may be an issue in the sub flooring or in the crawl space because everything is so damp in that area close to the beach. The same smell was detectable just before you actually entered the house, on the outside of the property. Having said all of that- people who are not in a sensitive group due to asthma would most likely only be slightly annoyed at the odor- and did improve once we turned on the furnace fans and air purifier that is provided in the main family room.
