Tucked into the tree-lined streets of Ortega - one of Jacksonville's most storied waterfront neighborhoods - this riverside unit puts you steps from the water and minutes from everything the city has to offer. Whether you're paddling the Ortega River at sunrise, catching a movie marathon on the 100-inch projector, or settling in for a long-term stay, this self-contained home base delivers comfort, convenience, and a genuine sense of place.
Living Space
The centerpiece of the living area is a true home theater setup: a 100-inch projector paired with a spacious sectional sofa creates an experience that transforms a night in into something worth anticipating. Stream, unwind, or pull out the board games for a group evening - the space flexes around however your group wants to spend it. A dedicated workspace with fast wifi sits alongside, keeping remote work contained and the dining table free for actual dining.
Sleeping Arrangements
Both bedrooms are furnished with queen memory-foam beds dressed in soft linens. Hangers and clothing storage throughout the unit mean you can fully unpack and settle in - whether you're here for a weekend or an extended stay, long-term bookings are welcome.
Kitchen & Dining
The full kitchen is equipped for real cooking. A refrigerator, freezer, stove, and microwave form the foundation, backed by pots and pans, dishes and silverware, a blender, toaster, baking sheet, rice maker, bread maker, wine glasses, a hot water kettle, and a coffee maker. Cooking basics - oil, salt, and pepper - are already stocked. Coffee is provided too, so mornings start without a detour.
Bathroom
The bathroom comes fully stocked with hot water, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower gel, and a hair dryer. Everything you need is waiting on arrival - no first-day supply runs required.
Outdoor & Water Access
The Ortega River is right on your doorstep. Free kayak rentals through Ortega Outdoors and discounted jet ski rentals through Evolution Jetsports put two different ways onto the water within easy reach - no long drives, no complicated logistics. Riverfront parks, local dining, and neighborhood shopping round out what's accessible close by.
Parking, Entry & Practicalities
Free parking on the premises includes a Level 2 EV charger (220V, 12-35 mph charge rate) - a practical addition for electric vehicle drivers. Self check-in is handled via keypad, so your arrival fits your schedule. Exterior security cameras are positioned around the property and are motion-activated only; there are no cameras inside the unit. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and a fire extinguisher are in place throughout. A laundromat nearby keeps longer stays running smoothly.
Location
This unit sits within a duplex in the Ortega area of Jacksonville - note that you'll have the unit to yourself, not the full building. The neighborhood offers riverfront parks, local dining, and shopping within easy reach, with Downtown Jacksonville and NAS Jacksonville both accessible for visitors, those relocating, or anyone on a military assignment.
