About this property

Making Waves

  • This completely remolded home was built in the early 1950’s. My husband remolded the home in 2012.
    It is very homey and has been decorated with beach decor from one end to the other.
    The kitchen has everything you would need from electric skillet to a crockpot.
    It has foils,baggies, salt, pepper, oil, coffee and filters.
    So much charm and very inviting.
    We are centrally located in Jacksonville. Close to all military bases and the beaches.
    The space
    We are approximately 35 minutes to several beaches.
    The home has a very relaxing atmosphere.
    Outside sitting with a fire pit.

Awesome

“Making Waves” is truly a home away from home; even if for two days. Thank you for allowing us to be a guest as we came to pack up our Marine after serving his four years at Camp Lejune. A very enjoyable experience and so much better than a stuffy hotel. Your home was superb, adorable, cozy, clean, comfortable, inviting and so much more. “Making Waves” is close to shopping, dining, beach and the military bace. Your hospitality & kindness is very much appreciated and a blessing. I wish we had discovered you and “Making Wave” sooner in our sone enlistments so we could have stayed more often as we visited.

The house is super clean, the beds are very comfortable. The place is very quiet and beautifully decorated. We are soooo blessed to have found this place. Great spot for Marine visit and easy drive to beach areas. There is nothing about the place that we didn't like. I strongly recommend it for family of 2-4.

Cute place!

This house was amazing! It is central to so much around Jacksonville and surrounding areas. The house is well maintained and has everything you need for your stay. If we are down in that area again I would definitely go with this house again. The hostess Rhonda is an amazing lady and goes above and beyond to make your stay wonderful. I wish we had more than 2 days here!
