The former garage space has been professionally transformed into two standalone studio units (w/separate entrances) — one upstairs (The Loft) and one downstairs (Clubhouse). The building is situated on a large rare double lot in the urban neighborhood, with a pool, jacuzzi, pavilion, fire pit, towering oak trees and tropical landscaping. The Space: The upstairs studio unit, House of Meesh: Loft, is a romantic, poolside hideaway, with dramatic floral wallpaper on one wall, and windows with a sweeping view of the property on the other side. Hues of purple, pink and teal give the studio space a rich, romantic feel. Note: Visitors must climb a flight of stairs to access this unit. With the help of a professional designer, we created the one-of-a-kind studio spaces, meticulously furnishing and appointing the units to include everything a traveler could need. The property includes a pool, jacuzzi and spacious garden oasis, with lounge areas in the sun or under a pavilion’s shade. On cooler nights, guests are welcome to use the stone paver fire pit. Private, secured parking spaces for both units are available via a back alley and an electronic privacy gate. Both units are monitored with outdoor-only security cameras. Walk or bike to downtown events like Jacksonville Jaguars games or concerts at Vystar Memorial Arena or Daily’s Place, or hide away in this garden oasis. Swim, soak in the hot tub or simply enjoy wine by the pool after a long workday. A peaceful sanctuary, it’s easy to forget you’re in an urban neighborhood, within walking distance to downtown Jacksonville. House of Meesh is located at the far back of the property with enough distance to the main house. Features include: \- 400 square feet of private studio space \- Private bathroom with walk-in shower \- Queen-size master bed \- Large club chair and ottoman \- Dining table and chairs \- Iron and ironing board \- Alarm clock with wireless device charging \- High-speed internet access \- Smart TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Starz, HBO, CBS All Access and Sling \- Wireless smart lock entry \- Luxury bath towels and bathrobes \- Full-length mirror \- Ductless mini-split air conditioning and heating \- Professional-grade dehumidifier \- Luggage and garment racks \- Beach towels The fully stocked kitchenette features everything needed to cook a full meal, including: \- Dishwasher \- Apartment-sized refrigerator \- Microwave oven \- Extra-large countertop convection oven \- Double-burner electric hot plates \- Toaster oven \- Kettle \- Keurig and drip coffee maker \- All needed dishware, cookware and utensils The outdoor space includes: \- Large, private pool (guests in both units have access to the pool) \- Heated jacuzzi (hot tub) with modern, wood-slat privacy wall \- Pavilion with lounge seating, lighting and ceiling fan \- Paver fire pit \- Tropical gardens \- Multiple lounge chairs surrounding the pool \- Gated, private concrete parking pad with enough space for one car per unit (Clubhouse and Loft) Things to note about the outside areas: \- The hot tub can take a while to heat up.

The Neighborhood: House of Meesh is located in historic Springfield, Jacksonville’s hippest up-and-coming urban neighborhood. As the oldest neighborhood in Jacksonville, Springfield still retains much of its historic character and contains some of the best examples of late 19th and early 20th century architecture that the city has to offer. Springfield, like so many other urban neighborhoods in the United States, fell into a period of decline in the mid 20th century. As the neighborhood is still undergoing revitalization, many of the homes have been beautifully restored, while some still need attention. You may see aspects of the transitional nature such as litter and a few homes in disrepair. However, the neighborhood is a safe, vibrant and active community, with highly engaged residents. For the safety of our guests and their belongings, House of Meesh features off-street, gated parking and outdoor-only security cameras. Modern day Springfield is arguably one of the most attractive neighborhoods in Jacksonville, due to its beautiful architecture, gridded streets, walkability and bikeability, variety of parks, eclectic nightlife, unique restaurants, proximity to Downtown, abundant social events, and friendly neighbors. National, state, and local media have taken notice and highlighted our dynamic and growing community. Getting Around: Springfield is an urban neighborhood, less than one mile from downtown Jacksonville. The neighborhood is the most walkable and bikeable in all of Jacksonville, and you'll see many neighbors driving their golf carts to restaurants, bars and breweries. Other Things to Note: To help ensure a smooth, secure, and enjoyable stay for all guests, please review the following important information before booking: Check-In & Identity Verification Policy All reservations require the primary guest (the booker) to complete a secure online check-in process prior to arrival. This includes: \-Uploading a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID \-Uploading a selfie to confirm identity \-Reviewing and signing our rental agreement This process is similar to hotel check-in and is required because we do not typically have staff on site. Check-in instructions will only be provided once this process is complete. If you would like to review the rental agreement before booking, please feel free to contact us. In some cases, we may also request a security deposit and/or apply a damage waiver fee in accordance with booking channel policies. Guest Count & Occupancy Policy Each listing includes a maximum number of guests based on unit type and local regulations. Additional guests are welcome for an added nightly fee: \-Studios & 1 bedroom units: $20 per guest, per night after 2 guests \-2 & 3 bedroom units: $35 per guest, per night after 4 or 6 guests, respectively \-4 & 5+ bedroom units: $50 per guest, per night after 8 or 10 guests, respectively Please ensure your guest count is entered accurately at booking. We will confirm the number of guests after reservation. If the guest count changes, pricing may be adjusted accordingly. For safety and compliance purposes, exterior security cameras are used to verify occupancy. Unreported additional guests may result in additional charges. \*We do not allow any FURRY GUESTS on the property\* Your furry hosts are two dogs (Chloe and Claire) and two cats (Dixie and Libby). Claire in particular, the large black and white dog, is very scared of strangers and is not allowed in the open yard when guests are around. Please do not interact with her or try to pet her, especially when she is in her closed-off gated dog run. She will bark loudly from the gated dog run and the upstairs front porch, but she is kept away from guests at all times, and we appreciate you adhering to our policy of not interacting with her. Even though Chloe (the other dog) is usually friendly, we ask that you refrain from interacting with her out of an abundance of caution. All guests have access to the common areas of the property (front porch, laundry room, backyard). If another set of guests, our cleaners, or a property notices that there is guest property or trash left out, this will be removed. If we can’t distinguish property from trash, there is a possibility it will be thrown out. If this continues (I.e. you use shared space as personal space and/or throw what appears to be trash there), we reserve the right to ask you to check out early / move to another listing at your cost. Local Reservation Policy Reservations under 7 nights from guests residing in the local area may be subject to cancellation at our discretion. We handle exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Early Check-In & Late Check-Out Policy Early arrivals and late departures are not guaranteed and must be approved in advance. If approved, the following fees apply: \-Up to 1 hour: $25 \-1–2 hours: $50 \-2–3 hours: $75 \-3+ hours: $100 or the cost of an additional night (whichever is greater) Please do not assume availability without confirmation. Smoking Policy Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the property, including indoor and outdoor areas. If evidence of smoking is found, an additional cleaning fee of $500 will be applied in accordance with the booking channel's cleaning and damage policies. Special Request Policy Requests for items such as pack-n-plays, high chairs, or other non-standard amenities should be submitted at least 7 days before check-in to ensure availability. Requests made closer to arrival will be accommodated if possible but cannot be guaranteed. We understand that this is a detailed list, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to review it. These guidelines help us maintain a safe, well-cared-for property and ensure a great experience for every guest. Our goal is always for you to feel comfortable, welcome, and well taken care of during your stay. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67200000/67195700/67195679/5cb6747d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Comfy Mayo Retreat; Heated Pool, Close to Beach Isle of Palms - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 50 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=67195679&PinnedHotelID=67195679&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100930000/100930000/100929917/04f0ee08.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Posh Pool and Pond Landing Jacksonville - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=100929917&PinnedHotelID=100929917&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67420000/67417800/67417798/53d84338.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Isla's Beach Oasis: Family Beach Oasis with Heated Pool Jacksonville Beach - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 55 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=67417798&PinnedHotelID=67417798&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool, a heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66300000/66298900/66298822/56f87d2b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Oasis-Heated Pool-Sleeps8-Fresh Eggs & Top Amenities-Pet friendly-Escape St. Augustine - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 35 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=66298822&PinnedHotelID=66298822&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72550000/72544100/72544075/28ab9219.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Retro Beach Escape | Heated Pool + Screened Patio Jacksonville Beach - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 24 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=72544075&PinnedHotelID=72544075&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100670000/100667300/100667211/9137ed9f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Modern 4 bedroom with Patio and Pool -- Sleeps 10 Jacksonville - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=100667211&PinnedHotelID=100667211&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91040000/91035100/91035088/7944f437.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Beach Hideaway with Heated Pool Jacksonville Beach - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=91035088&PinnedHotelID=91035088&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78220000/78214800/78214708/a9de3ec0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Beach Getaway with Heated Pool and Florida Room Jacksonville Beach - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-26&endDate=2026-01-27&selected=78214708&PinnedHotelID=78214708&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/76000000/75290000/75289900/75289808/f8751e39.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage Home with Heated Pool and Screened in Porch.

Host was very responsive and accommodating!! We didn’t get to enjoy the pool and hot tub due to our schedule and the weather, but the area surrounding it was peaceful and relaxing. I wouldn’t consider the one parking spot that’s allotted for guest behind the house as it’s difficult to get to and space is tight. But parking wasn’t an issue as there was always ample street parking in front of the main house. Would definitely stay again. ##### Treshiki B.

Some homeless type people around the area but felt safe in the location we stayed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 13 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren R. 25 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Still dreaming of the backyard oasis! Wow what a special place! Cute & cozy & clean. The bed was so comfortable, pillows fluffy, and sheets were soft...really appreciated that after a long day of adventure! Loved waking up in the morning being greeted by the cute kitty outside our doors & the relaxing view of the pool & birds chirping in the trees (sad we didnt get to meet the pups!). We talked about the place days after we left. Loved relaxing by the pool late evening too. Amazing landscaping. What a gem! Thanks for having us! ##### Lauren R.

My wife and I were so glad we found this little oasis while we were in town for my niece's wedding in Jacksonville. We arrived a little later than we expected but the neighborhood was so inviting and lit up as we walked just a few blocks over to Main Street where we found a great little Pizza and a beer to wash away our long drive. We then walked across the street and found a Brewery doing stand up comedy for open mic night. The small town atmosphere this close to the metropolis of Jacksonville was an welcomed surprise. The room was clean and had everything we needed for coffee and re-heating leftovers. The pool was too chilly for us, but we enjoyed sitting out in the yard, especially in the morning with our morning coffee. 100% Recommended and may visit again on our next trip. ##### Steven B.

The colors, the set up are exactly what we needed for a fun getaway. The loft was also super clean. And the kitchen had literally everything I needed to make all of our meals. So we were able to eat and hang out and enjoy the gorgeous property without making several trips to the store. Our February stay was surprisingly warm and we were able to get in the pool and jacuzzi. I was a little uneasy about having to email the property manager each time to turn the jacuzzi on, and somehow it only worked in the mornings for us, but each time I emailed him, he responded immediately. I was surprised at how easy that process was. The location is 30 mins from the beach so we walked the beach at sunset each evening there and it was just perfect. They had extra towels, trash bags, everything I needed was there. And the email I got at check in had all the codes and all the answers to my questions, it was very helpful and thorough. I will definitely be back. ##### katie g.

I wanted a place of my own to escape to and when I saw this listing I knew this was it. The weather was perfect for relaxing outside by the pool. However, a little cool for swimming. I did not try out the hot tub either, but it looked very inviting! The loft was perfect for one and would also be comfortable for a couple. It was well furnished for preparing meals if that is your thing. I loved the funky decor vibe. The location is very close to downtown in a wonderful neighborhood on it's way to being revived. I loved walking through the neighborhood and seeing all of those gorgeous old homes. Many of them are restored, some are not and some are somewhere in between. Some had fun, funky yard decor and I enjoyed being inspired by that. I always felt safe, but like anywhere in the world, pay attention to your surroundings. I carry mace whenever I am out alone in an unfamiliar area. I would definitely rent this loft again. I had a good meal at Silkie's Chicken & Champagne Bar right down the block! ##### Lynn B.

What a cute little place for a stay in a terrible neighborhood. Street parking is risky , gated parking is available but you may need 4 wheel drive to manage the mud in the alley. It's a very tight squeeze for 2 vehicles to fit in the gated parking. Made it work for 1 of the nights but it's just close for comfort trying to get in there at night. So I parked on the street and made sure car was locked because there are nightly handle checkers in the area. The room was nice but when I entered the unit, it rained pretty hard and rain poured in through the AC unit located at the top of the stairs. The floor was soaked. I let the manager know about rain and they offered to come fix but I declined and put a towel down to absorb the water at the top of the stairs. When it stopped raining , it stopped leaking in tbgg e unit by morning. I wasnt alone in the unit. 3 roaches, 2 were already dead, 1 I killed myself, other than that it was a great stay. ##### Joe M.

Booked 5 nights & looked forward to pool, hot tub & walking to dinner. Proceed with caution! Once booked & they give you the exact address, it’s too late to cancel & get a refund. Reviews said it was within walking distance of restaurants/bars. The only bars we saw were on windows. Lots of unsavory characters around & a police chase that ended on the same street, 1 block away. Upstairs was nice, temp control was good, bed was comfy, a shower curtain/door would have been nice to keep water in the shower. Neighborhood is awful. Several surrounding houses are burned out/boarded up. No way would I park a vehicle on the street. The other choice is to navigate a narrow, muddy, overgrown, "alley" to a gated parking spot. It’s very hard to negotiate with a fence directly across from it. Our new truck is scratched & has a new $700 side mirror. The pool was not clean when we arrived & didn’t get better. Had to call mgt to turn on the hot tub, it never got hot Wed night. Planned to try again Friday, but new arrivals were in it when we returned from dinner. They parked in the gated spot, so we parked in alley. This place is NOT soundproof. We heard a lot that didn't need to be heard until the wee hours. In summary, read reviews. Check neighborhoods before you book. It looks like it will be a nice area one day, but we didn’t feel safe at all & were disappointed with the stay. ##### Alan B. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ---
