Built in 1939, this home is great to host young professionals traveling for work, fun couples weekend, or a perfect family getaway. Enjoy the open living area with a comfy futon for additional sleeping space. Just 30-minutes from the beach!!!
Tallulah-North Shore, or simply North Shore, is a neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida located in the Northside area. The Trout River, a tributary of the St. Johns River, is North Shore's most notable feature and also forms the neighborhood's northern border.
Please read full listing details. The home has a Queen-size bed in the front bedroom for 2 guests and a Full-size bed in the rear bedroom for 1-2 guests. In order to accommodate a family with children, 6 guests, the living space has a Queen-size futon which can be utilized as a sleeping arrangement for 2 kids for a total of 6. I do not list for 6 adults because I feel the space is not large enough to be comfortable for 6 adults. If booking and not sharing a bed, please be comfortable with a futon in a shared living space. Let me know if you need the futon made-up for sleeping when booking. If you book for 3-4 guests, I do not know if you will need the futon made-up for sleeping unless you let me know. I only prepare it when needed. No Washer/Dryer.
Train enthusiast or not, the undeniable thrill of passing freight trains from the rear of the property will put a smile on your face. A conductor may even give you a wave hello! 👋
