The ground floor of a 1940s San Marco home, fully renovated in 2025, with no interior stairs (just two exterior steps up to the front door, because the house sits above grade). Two bedrooms on opposite sides of the home give each person privacy. There's a full kitchen, original hardwood floors, a front porch and off-street parking. It's about a 7-minute walk to Baptist MD Anderson and Nemours and one block to the river.

The space

Urban Oasis takes up the whole first floor of the house. Its split-bedroom layout puts the two bedrooms on opposite sides of the living room, which suits caregivers, colleagues or a family who want some quiet from each other. One bedroom has a king bed and the other a queen, and the sofa bed sleeps two more.

The 2025 renovation brought new plumbing and showers, new electrical service, high-speed Wi-Fi and a dedicated LAN port at the workstation, plus updated appliances and furnishings, while keeping the original hardwood floors, kitchen cabinetry and door hardware. The front porch catches the morning sun.

Getting in and parking

The entire first-floor residence is yours, with keyless self check-in. There are no interior stairs; the 1940s house sits above grade, so there are two exterior steps up to the front door, close to the reserved off-street parking behind the house. You also share the courtyard seating under the oaks.

The neighborhood

You're on a residential street in San Marco, one of Jacksonville's original riverfront neighborhoods. Walk one block to the St. Johns River for sunsets and about 12 minutes to San Marco Square for restaurants, coffee, a two-story Publix and the shops. The downtown medical campus (Baptist MD Anderson, Nemours, Wolfson Children's) is about 7 minutes on foot.

It's an easy walk to the hospitals, the river and San Marco Square. Downtown is a few minutes by car, EverBank Stadium is 2.4 miles, and Mayo Clinic and JAX airport are each about 25 minutes by car.

Good to know

  • The 1940s house sits above grade, so there are two exterior steps up to the front door.
  • Free shared laundry on site (commercial Speed Queen washer and dryer). Bring your preferred detergent.
  • You're in Jacksonville's urban core, so some city noise is typical. Blackout shades are provided.
  • San Marco Suite occupies the floor above; in a 1940s home footsteps can carry, and both floors keep quiet hours.
  • You may hear freight trains or river horns early in the morning.
  • Parking behind the house suits cars and SUVs; it is tight for full-size trucks.
  • Pack ’n play and high chair on request.
