This was a fantastic place to land and enjoy the beach. It is centrally located and is super walkable. The unit is clean and is super cute. Also the bed is phenomenally comfortable.
We had a wonderful time. So close to the beach and had the ability to walk to great restaurants. The place was clean and quiet. Highly recommend! When we go back to Jacksonville beach, will be back! Thank you!
It’s was amazing definitely would go here again. Really close to the beach and near other places in the area like restaurants and things to do. We went skydiving, to sea world, and spent hrs relaxing on the beach.

Had the most amazing stay at this property! I wanted a few days to relax on the beach before my work trip began and this was PERFECT! The location couldn’t have been better a block from the beach and less than 10 minute walk to the grocery store. Communication was great and easy check in/check out process. Perfect for a quick get away!
Audrey was amazing to work with and answered all my questions. The space was perfect for my husband and I. The bed was very comfortable and soft. A huge plus for the two of us. Pillows were comfortable as well. She had all the tools one would need in the kitchen, we only used plates and the Keurig. It is close to food and coffee shops, not walkable but driving is easy. The beach is walkable with its own access which is nice with the shower outside to rinse feet was great. We will be back!
Absolutely excellent love the neighborhood everything was easy to walk everything was very convenient love just stepping out the door and onto the beach was only a block away easy walk restaurants convenience stores pharmacies all within walking distance I absolutely loved it at night it was very peaceful and quiet the rental was super clean super bright and gorgeous and had everything you needed if you decided to cook or whatever but because of the restaurants and the locations of everything there's no real need for it that's if you want to or not I enjoyed myself immensely the manager of the place was super great super helpful and concerned about your well-being loved her and loved the place I plan on going back again next year
I'm a recent kidney transplant patient on my 4mo visit for a week. The experience was great. All the amenities as promised. Walking distance to shops and the beach.
Great place. Small old window A/C unit, worked ok but slow to cool. Garage access would have been good, parking outside under tree, bird poop and tree mess all over car, had to wash it after we left,
We had a lovely stay as my husband was able to get to the Mayo Hosp daily and we had a lovely beach day. Our little cockerpooEnjoyed the yard n beach area too! Only thing I couldn’t find my dark green prescription eyeglasses in the room. We looked everywhere maybe they somehow got caught in the bedding Can the cleaning people check for me. They were very expensive ores option eyeglasses. Thank you so much as we had a lovely stay Christine. 201 638 1458
We really enjoyed our stay at the Seahorse Retreat. The location is convenient to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We always look for places that will allow our furry girls to travel with us and the retreat was perfect for them too. The treats, bags and bowls were wonderful. On beach days having the use of the beach wagon made the short trip to the beach even easier. Definitely a place we’ll return to.
