Oasis unique au cœur de Springfield !

Summary:
House of Meesh is a newly renovated, two-story detached building located in up-and-coming historic Springfield, less than one mile from downtown Jacksonville. The former garage space has been professionally transformed into two standalone studio units (w/separate entrances) — one upstairs (The Loft) and one downstairs (Clubhouse). The building is situated on a large rare double lot in the urban neighborhood, with a pool, jacuzzi, pavilion, fire pit, towering oak trees and tropical landscaping.

The Space:
You have booked the entire backyard! Two studio units that will sleep 6 people on their own beds and can accommodate 2 more guests who don't mind sleeping on an air mattress. This property seems just about perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway by the pool, in a part of town inundated with good food, breweries, and people!

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to both studio units, private parking, gardens, pool, jacuzzi and fire pit.

The Neighborhood:
House of Meesh is located in historic Springfield, Jacksonville’s hippest up-and-coming urban neighborhood. As the oldest neighborhood in Jacksonville, Springfield still retains much of its historic character and contains some of the best examples of late 19th and early 20th century architecture that the city has to offer.

Springfield, like so many other urban neighborhoods in the United States, fell into a period of decline in the mid 20th century. As the neighborhood is still undergoing revitalization, many of the homes have been beautifully restored, while some still need attention. You may see aspects of the transitional nature such as litter and a few homes in disrepair. However, the neighborhood is a safe, vibrant and active community, with highly engaged residents. For the safety of our guests and their belongings, House of Meesh features off-street, gated parking and outdoor-only security cameras.

Modern day Springfield is arguably one of the most attractive neighborhoods in Jacksonville, due to its beautiful architecture, gridded streets, walkability and bikeability, variety of parks, eclectic nightlife, unique restaurants, proximity to Downtown, abundant social events, and friendly neighbors. National, state, and local media have taken notice and highlighted our dynamic and growing community.

Getting Around:
Springfield is an urban neighborhood, less than one mile from downtown Jacksonville. The neighborhood is the most walkable and bikeable in all of Jacksonville, and you'll see many neighbors driving their golf carts to restaurants, bars and breweries.

Other Things to Note:
To help ensure a smooth, secure, and enjoyable stay for all guests, please review the following important information before booking:

Check-In & Identity Verification Policy

All reservations require the primary guest (the booker) to complete a secure online check-in process prior to arrival. This includes:

-Uploading a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID
-Uploading a selfie to confirm identity
-Reviewing and signing our rental agreement

This process is similar to hotel check-in and is required because we do not typically have staff on site. Check-in instructions will only be provided once this process is complete.

If you would like to review the rental agreement before booking, please feel free to contact us.

In some cases, we may also request a security deposit and/or apply a damage waiver fee in accordance with booking channel policies.

* It typically takes ~1 hour to screen a guest after they book this property and could take several hours if we are busy before we are able to provide them with check-in information.

If you make a last minute reservation, we ask you to please be patient and please do not expect to gain access to the property immediately.

Guest Count & Occupancy Policy

Each listing includes a maximum number of guests based on unit type and local regulations. Additional guests are welcome for an added nightly fee:

-Studios & 1 bedroom units: $20 per guest, per night after 2 guests

Please ensure your guest count is entered accurately at booking. We will confirm the number of guests after reservation. If the guest count changes, pricing may be adjusted accordingly. For safety and compliance purposes, exterior security cameras are used to verify occupancy. Unreported additional guests may result in additional charges.

*We do not allow any FURRY GUESTS on the property*

Your furry hosts are two dogs (Chloe and Claire) and two cats (Dixie and Libby).
Claire in particular, the large black and white dog, is very scared of strangers and is not allowed in the open yard when guests are around.
Please do not interact with her or try to pet her, especially when she is in her closed-off gated dog run.
She will bark loudly from the gated dog run and the upstairs front porch, but she is kept away from guests at all times, and we appreciate you adhering to our policy of not interacting with her.
Even though Chloe (the other dog) is usually friendly, we ask that you refrain from interacting with her out of an abundance of caution.

All guests have access to the common areas of the property (front porch, laundry room, backyard).
If another set of guests, our cleaners, or a property notices that there is guest property or trash left out, this will be removed. If we can’t distinguish property from trash, there is a possibility it will be thrown out.
If this continues (I.e. you use shared space as personal space and/or throw what appears to be trash there), we reserve the right to ask you to check out early / move to another listing at your cost.

Local Reservation Policy

Reservations under 7 nights from guests residing in the local area may be subject to cancellation at our discretion. We handle exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

Early Check-In & Late Check-Out Policy

Early arrivals and late departures are not guaranteed and must be approved in advance. If approved, the following fees apply:

-Up to 1 hour: $25
-1–2 hours: $50
-2–3 hours: $75
-3+ hours: $100 or the cost of an additional night (whichever is greater)

Please do not assume availability without confirmation.

Smoking Policy

Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the property, including indoor and outdoor areas. If evidence of smoking is found, an additional cleaning fee of $500 will be applied in accordance with the booking channel's cleaning and damage policies.

Special Request Policy

Requests for items such as pack-n-plays, high chairs, or other non-standard amenities should be submitted at least 7 days before check-in to ensure availability. Requests made closer to arrival will be accommodated if possible but cannot be guaranteed.

We understand that this is a detailed list, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to review it. These guidelines help us maintain a safe, well-cared-for property and ensure a great experience for every guest.
