Ready to relax and enjoy the beach lifestyle Sunshine Cottage is waiting for you! This 2 bedroom, 1 bath charmer was built in 1930 and is located in a quiet area 6 blocks from the refreshing Atlantic Ocean. That's a short 10 minute walk before your toes hit the sand! Sunshine Cottage has the character and appeal that only a historic home can offer - original heart pine wood floors, fireplace, windows, doors and knobs, and built-in cabinets. While historic, the cottage has lovingly been renovated and includes all the modern amenities to keep you comfortable, without losing that vintage coastal charm.

Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail on the front screened porch. The coastal chic interior of Sunshine Cottage welcomes you as soon as you walk in the door. Two comfortable sitting areas, one equipped with a TV; the other a cozy fireplace.

Sunshine Cottage offers two quaint bedrooms. Perfect for a couple or small family and comfortably sleeps four. The first bedroom features a queen sized bed and TV. The second bedroom features twin beds.

The dining room table seats six and allows plenty of space for gathering for meals. Original built-in cabinets provide extra storage space for guests and showcase the craftsmanship from years ago. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking essentials, glassware and dinnerware. A full size washer and dryer are located directly off the kitchen in an enclosed porch.

All your beach necessities are housed in a storage shed in the fully fenced backyard – bikes, beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and beach toys. There is also a gas grill and pavered seating area.

You are within walking or biking distance to the heart of Jacksonville Beach – restaurants, shops, bars, festivals, Sea Walk Pavilion, life guard station and pier. Mayo Clinic is conveniently located 10 minutes away.

    Host is wonderful, house is older with lots of charm and character. Back yard was perfect for our pup and host has thought of everything when stocking the house for guests. Thanks so much, we had a wonderful stay.

    We arrived after dark and loved how easy it was to get our stuff in the house with no stairs and parking directly in front of the door. Plus it was a well lit in the entrance. We were there for 9 days. My husband was scheduled to have surgery at Mayo Clinic and they required us to be nearby. This house was a very easy 10 minute drive! I found it very easy to get back and forth between Mayo Clinic at all hours of the day with very little traffic. Mostly a straight run there. We also loved that the beach was only about a 10 minute walk away. The grocery store was within walking distance and so was the delicious donut shop! Lots of restaurants within minutes from this house. The couch and beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed! We spent most of our time indoors recovering from my husband’s surgery so we were very happy to have so many TV channels to choose from. The yard size was perfect for pup. The front porch was nice also. Overall we loved this house and would highly recommend it to anyone for vacation or needing a place while recovering from a surgery at the Mayo Climic. It was similar in price to staying at a hotel but so much more comfortable and easy to feel at home. We plan to come back again!

    The house was just perfect for me, my wife, and adult son. We stayed 3 nights so our son could become aquainted with the area he is moving to. Location is great for the beach, restaurants, and things to do. The fact that all beach supplies are provided is great for those flying in. Very glad we picked this property.

    This house is wonderful. Charming older home with updates. Very clean and well cared for. Excellent location! Very short walk to Parlor Doughnuts. Very close to Jax beach fishing pier and park with great restaurants. Would recommend Jekyll Brew and Oaxaca! (150 Cleaning Fee and required insurance, but I would probably ask for this too). Wonderful home and location.

    Sunshine cottage was an easy walk to the beach and shops. The kitchen was really nice and well stocked. The large dining room table was perfect for my family. Overall Shawn and Cyndi made it easy to reserve and were very accommodating.

    I was at the GoRuck headquarters for a competition event. Just a block away, great neighborhood. A few blocks to the beach. Host is great, easily reachable, and no issues at all in that department. Vintage very private two bedroom home that’s tastefully appointed in the contemporary beach vibe. fully stocked pantry and laundry room, everything you might need. Can’t go wrong with this property. Plenty of coffee and tea and all the things that go with coffee service. Pots and pans need updating but dishes, flatware and glassware all excellent. Shed full of beach chairs etc. Gas Grill, private fenced backyard. Awesome screen porch for dining alfresco! Big fluffy towels and sheets all great quality and plenty of extra if needed. Super fast cable internet and cable TV on newer TV’s. Highly recommended.

    Such a beautiful home in a very safe, secure feeling neighborhood. Very quick, direct walk to the beach. We were fully stocked in the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms with everything we could have needed plus more. They provided wine and coffee!!! Adorable backyard to hang out in, lovely covered porch, cozy sitting rooms, updated kitchen in an old house that had lots of charm and character. Absolutely would recommend anyone to stay here, and will be searching for open dates for ourselves to come back to visit again. Host was extremely kind, hospitable, understanding, and helpful. Cannot say enough great things about our stay and experience start to finish! Thank you!!!

    Sunshine Cottage was the perfect place for a beach getaway. The house is stocked with all the amenities you would need for the beach. Having the bikes and the beach chairs already there, made for much easier travel and packing. The house is conveniently located to great beach access and centrally located to all the needed places in town. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

    This home was very nice and we loved all the small touches the homeowners did to make us feel welcome. Very well kept, clean, and convenient. The homeowners thought of everything we might would need! Enjoyed the bicycles provided as a means to get around the area! Would definitely stay here again if we are in the area! Thanks for allowing us to borrow your house for our trip to visit the Church of Eleven22!
