About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Five miles from Mayo Clinic and nine blocks from the ocean. Quiet and cozy.

"Piece of Paradise" is just that! Located within walking distance to dining, shopping and night life. Lovely bedroom poolside, breezy cabana and plenty of places to sun. Separate living space for relaxing and eating. In the winter, use the fire pit for cozy evenings. I want to make this an enjoyable stay for you, so please, if you have any special needs or requests don't hesitate to ask.
This is a separate space at my home, with its own entrance into the space and exit to the pool and backyard. I live on the property with my 16lb. hypoallergenic dog, Chica.
I will allow dogs as long as they are hypoallergenic and don't weight over 20lbs. I had a very unfortunate accident where a bigger dog jumped on my dog and to make and to make a long story short it wound up costing me $3500.00 plus. It is too bad that this happened because I love dogs all sizes, but I can't risk this happening again.

I stayed in this lovely VRBO while visiting my daughter in Jacksonville Beach. The accommodations were perfect for me and I will stay there again. The owner, Cody Wright, is a lovely lady and is so easy to communicate with that I couldn't have asked for a better host.

Cozy comfort indoors and outdoors

Spill over into gracious outdoor living - an unexpected delight! Safe and private. Cheerful Florida decor and colors. A shower large enough for two with space to spare. Ample towel bars, large walk-in closet with mirrors and bureau. Convenient to beaches, delicious niche restaurants, nite-life. Easy travel highway access. Friendly charming host.

First TPC Sawgrass trip - hopefully not our last

We enjoyed everything about our stay! Great communication with Cody before our arrival, she kindly met us at well after 8 PM to greet us & provide a walk through. This was the perfect space for our long weekend with everything we needed. My only regret is not having more down time to lounge out back, as we had tournament tickets Saturday & Sunday. Easy access to the beach for our one free day. Morning walk, followed by lunch right down the street at Neptune Beach & a little shopping. Cody gave us great local dinner recommendations near the house, which came in handy after our return from TPC each day. We’re already discussing a return trip, as we felt the best of “right at home” while being “away from home”.

Perfect setting, close to everything and great outdoor space.

Cody's piece of paradise was perfect for the 2 of us. It was well appointed, comfortable and sparkling clean. Cody was gracious and responsive and went way above and beyond helping us. I was in town for health issues, close to Mayo Clinic, and ended up spending a week in the hospital. She worked with us to accommodate our extended stay as well as being available to help as needs arose. We are so grateful to her for so many reasons. We will definitely stay with her again if the need arises. Thank you Cody!

Absolutely Perfect!

The home was immaculate and exactly as advertised. Cody is a wonderful, friendly host who goes out of her way to make sure every aspect of your stay is the best!The area is amazing and very close to the beaches, restaurants and shopping.Cody's backyard pool area is perfect for relaxing, either in the covered furniture area or in the beautiful pool, which I used every day! It's very private as well. It feels like your own resort suite.I couldn't have been happier with my choice of property and owner in all respects. Having stayed here for two weeks, I did not want to return home!1000% recommend. You will not be disappointed! Ask her any questions about her listing and she will answer promptly!

Great Stay

We were in Jacksonville for a week of appointments and procedures at the Mayo Clinic. The property is about 5 miles away from the clinic, and easy to get to. We so enjoyed coming back to the house. The house is super comfortable, and the neighborhood is quiet. Cody is very accommodating, and we feel like we have a friend in Jacksonville Beach. We would not hesitate to stay again, and spend additional time with Cody.

Relaxing

Cody was a great host. We are in Jacksonville as Mayo patients quite often and decided to make this shorter stay in a place off the beach. Great decision as we relaxed by the pool like no other trip. The place is older but VERY clean. The pool area was so much fun. We will be back!
