Jacksonville Beach, Florida
The Ruby Sea Turtle is a newly renovated Family Friendly 3 Bedroom 2 Bath Home located blocks from the Atlantic Ocean in North Jacksonville Beach. We provide a clean, comfortable, and private beach experience for all of our guests. Sleeping arrangements can comfortably accommodate up to 6 people. After a long day at the beach, come back and relax in front of the 70inch TV or challenge a friend to a game of pool!
So why The Ruby Sea Turtle
Founded in 1884 by the Scull family, Jacksonville Beach was first known as Ruby Beach. William E. and Eleanor Scull were the first family to settle the area, working a post office and general store while living in tents on the beach with their two children, "Ruby" and Bessie. What began as a small, nearly unpopulated, nineteenth-century outpost on the route between Mayport and St. Augustine eventually grew into the thriving and lively Jacksonville Beach we know today. With our love for local history and wildlife, we decided to name the house after a combination of the historical Ruby Beach and the beautiful Sea Turtles that nest along our shores.

This was a great property. The billiard room was a great plus in bad weather and the bikes and proximity to the beach were a hit when the weather improved. Property owner was very responsive, we will definitely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this rental. The pool table area is a great addition. The house was very clean.
A really great house in a quiet, nice neighborhood. Very accommodating hosts who provide everything you need and more. I get to Jacksonville often and will always look to see if this house is available.
THE PLACE WAS JUST AS PICTURED AND DESCRIBED IN VRBO. MY ADULT CHILDREN STAYED THERE WHILE VISITING THE AREA. LOCATION WAS PERFECT AND THEY ESPECIALLY ENJOYED THE POOL TABLE.
First of all, no communication prior to checking in. When we arrived, the door was open and another family apparently was still there because their belongings was everywhere. We contacted the host countless times and still haven't gotten a response. This totally ruined my husband's birthday weekend!
We were in town for a Military Retirement and to catch up friends from when we lived here. Great location, easy access to the beaches, Jax Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Mayport. Quiet neighborhood. Well appointed house, with lots of consumables available (coffee, laundry, towels, etc). The 3 queen beds were comfortable, AC worked great, fans in bedrooms was nice. Bath rooms were clean, and kitchen was stocked with spices, pots and pans, plates, etc. Pool table was fun to play on. SmartTV in living room was nice to relax to. Great stay!
As advertised, owners investing in future amenities / improvements. Nice location. Plenty of room to entertain. Bikes were a nice perk with beach a 5 min ride away.
This house had just about everything you could need. I am an over packer and I could have saved myself some work. Paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap, new sponge, hand soap, dryer sheets, detergent, shampoo, conditioner (for both bathrooms) are all provided and not just 1 roll of TP...enough for my family of 5 all week. I will keep this in mind for our next stay ? There was also a full range of pots, pans, utensils, etc and a wine bottle opener. The bag of sand toys for the kids was great, too. I like a clean house and this house did not disappoint! The bikes were a nice touch. My daughter and I took them out once and they rode great, but even at 8pm it was too hot for us ?? I'm not in the shape I once was. My teenagers loved the pool table! The beds smelled fresh and were comfortable. 3 bedrooms with 3 queen beds. All have closets with hangers. The beach was about 16 blocks away. Oh and there was also 6 bath towels, wash rags, 6 beach towels, washer & dryer, and a comfy blanket for the sofa. The AC worked great and kept the house very cool. There is a gas station within walking distance and a delicious sandwich shop. I could tell the owners of this property put a lot of time & thought into making this propery perfect for other families and are still making provisions to improve.
It’s a great location with the beach being close. The bikes and pool table made the experience even better.
We were visiting family - wanted our own place so that we didn't cramp them (and they have a cat and we have allergies). It made for a very pleasant visit - with the bonus of being a bike ride from the beach! The weather was perfect and the house was clean.
We only had a short stay, but will definitely stay here again. It’s close proximity to the beach, the home is clean and well-kept, and the owners are close by if you need anything at all during your stay. I would definitely recommend staying here!
What a beautiful house. Everything we needed was available. We enjoyed being close to the beach and rode the bikes which is a great touch. Thank you! I hope to come back again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay this weekend at The Ruby Sea Turtle. We were in town to attend our nephew’s wedding. The house was perfect for our family, 5 adults. It was very clean and welcoming. The location was perfect; only a mile away from the wedding venue. Even though we did not cook; the kitchen was set up with everything you would need to prepare a great meal. Bikes and beach towels were available for use. Check-in and out was so easy. Will definitely stay here again when we come back to visit with family during the holidays.
Good location. Enjoyed the bikes and the pool table. Nice bike ride to the beach
This was a wonderful place for our stay to visit family. Quiet and plenty of space for all of us!
Nice and clean plenty of parking close to everything
The house was just what we were looking for. It was very clean upon arrival, spacious enough for 4 fat old guys and right down the street from the beach/bars. Katie and Thomas were very easy to get a hold of and answered any questions promptly. They were also very flexible and even gave us great recommendations for things to do around town. I would re-book this house, or any of their properties, in a heart beat. Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed the pool table, bikes and location. House was clean and host provided little extras like coffee, shampoos and conditioners, laundry supplies etc. we will stay here again.
Great property, couldn’t be happier with visit.
Property was very clean and tidy. Beds were comfortable. Great stay for GA/Fl game.
We had an amazing stay and were welcomed instantly buy a gift basket and Champagne. Super nice owners, always available if you need them, and great location. Highly recommend!
Just like home with a beautiful kitchen, spacious living and bedrooms, and a nice entertainment room with a pool table and huge TV. Katie, thank you and your husband for a beautiful experience in renting our first beach home. Tosha Wilson-Davis
