Awesome

“Making Waves” is truly a home away from home; even if for two days. Thank you for allowing us to be a guest as we came to pack up our Marine after serving his four years at Camp Lejune. A very enjoyable experience and so much better than a stuffy hotel. Your home was superb, adorable, cozy, clean, comfortable, inviting and so much more. “Making Waves” is close to shopping, dining, beach and the military bace. Your hospitality & kindness is very much appreciated and a blessing. I wish we had discovered you and “Making Wave” sooner in our sone enlistments so we could have stayed more often as we visited.

We traveled from WV to see family in the area and enjoyed our stay very much! Communication was wonderful. My kids enjoyed the snacks & board games! Appreciated the extra towels & blankets. She even had the smallest things like tape, seasonings, & a first aid kit on hand. The home was very neat and clean! Definitely would stay again. Thank you!

Cute place!

This house was amazing! It is central to so much around Jacksonville and surrounding areas. The house is well maintained and has everything you need for your stay. If we are down in that area again I would definitely go with this house again. The hostess Rhonda is an amazing lady and goes above and beyond to make your stay wonderful. I wish we had more than 2 days here!

Beautifully decorated and very comfortable stay.

I had the best time with my grandsons. The house was beautifully decorated with an ocean theme in every room. The environment was very relaxing. The boys enjoyed playing in the backyard. My family from in Jacksonville came over and kept commenting how nice the house was. Rhonda thought of everything and was so friendly and helpful.
