About

Fireside at the Creek Welcomes You!

This amazing brand new home is on the Black Creek in Middleburg, FL and is peaceful & beautiful place to relax and get away from every day life! Bring your Boat, Canoe, Kayak, or Paddleboard, because the Main St Boat Ramp is 1 1/2 miles away. We have plenty of parking for your boat too! You might curl up on the 2nd level deck and read a book while enjoying the scenic views along the Black Creek! Great open concept Kitchen / Living Area with a lot of windows to take in the view as well!

We have a fire table on the upper deck and a fire pit creek side. Enjoy a fire and roast some marshmallows! We get you started with a small s'mores kit to help! Three Bedrooms / Two Baths, an open kitchen, dining and living area with a large flat screen SMART TV. We have a King in the Owner's Suite, a Queen in the Guest BR and 3 Twins in the other Guest BR. You will enjoy the wooded area, yet everything is not very far way. For groceries, to shopping, golf courses - many options to choose from. About 40 minutes to downtown Jacksonville. This beautiful home is elevated - so stairs are required.

Please note: Turning in, you may park under the house or on the gravel area in front of the house. We have parking for 4 vehicles. **This property is in a very wooded area along the Black Creek - so there will be a variety of native Floridians about - from birds, squirrels, bugs, and maybe a raccoon from time to time. There are critters in the Black Creek as well! Please keep that in mind. And, since we are in the country, you will hear some roosters & chickens that are nearby too! The water is well water.

There is a PADL rental location at the Main St Boat Ramp - https://www.padl.co/locations/paddle-board-rentals-in-middleburg-boat-ramp/ Rent directly from your Smart Phone and tour along the Black Creek!

**Parties are strictly prohibited - as noted in the rental agreement. Penalties will be enforced. The property is monitored by Minut / Noise Aware as noted in the booking agreement. Events or gatherings that take us over our occupancy of 7 guests are not allowed.

**No Smoking Inside or on any of the deck areas of the home. If smoking is done by the firepit/in the yard - please properly dispose of the waste and do not ash or litter butts on the patio or anywhere on site. If evidence of that is found, an additional fee will apply for cleanup.

**Propane Tank (1) Included - Propane level is monitored and the tank will be filled to be in the "green". If the tank runs out, you would need to have it refilled at your own expense. Tanks may be refilled at Publix, Home Depot, True Value Hardware. Please follow the directions when changing the tank under the fire table.

BBQ / Fire Table: Please do not move/relocate either of these. The BBQ Grill needs to stay where it is and on the mat we have underneath to help protect our deck from grease/spills, etc. The Fire Table is heavy and may not be moved. The Fire Table will still hot for up to 45 minutes after use. Please be mindful of that!

Firepit Creek Side: We do not provide firewood. It may be purchased nearby at Home Depot, Lowe's, Publix, or any other local seller you may find. We have firepit tools to use to assist in use of the pit. We have outdoor adirondack chairs (6) that are kept under the house - for use around the firepit.

The reservation must be for the exact # of guests that will be on site - max occupancy is 7 guests anytime day or night. Guest names must be sent prior to arrival.

There is no direct access to the Black Creek from the home. You can fish off the embankment at your own risk. The nearest access is 1 mile to the Main Street Boat Ramp.

Games / Kid's Mini Gaming Table: We have a few games in the console under the TV in the living area. We also have a mini pool table that is fun to play Please keep the pool balls on the table, they are not to be thrown or tossed around. The pool cues are for use with the pool table please. Thanks!

ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE

Guest Arrival is anytime 4pm EST or after. If the property is approved for early arrival, you will receive a message letting you know you can arrive early and we will activate the door code. If you do not receive a message, then the arrival will remain at 4pm EST.

Guest Departure is anytime 10am EST or before. If you have not departed by this time and do not have written prior approval for a late departure, you will be assessed a $50 late departure fee for every 30 minute delay. The Cleaning Services we use schedule their teams for multiple cleans in advance and any unplanned delays create issues. With unscheduled/unapproved late departures, they are required to bring in additional team members to assist, which incurs a higher cost that must be charged. Any requests made for a late departure must be made a minimum of 24 hours in advance of departure time and are subject to approval/availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please remember you are in Florida, where temperatures routinely exceed 90 degrees during the day. A properly functioning AC system can, at the most, lower the temperature 20 degrees from the outside temperature, so if it's over 90 degrees outside, the AC will struggle to cool the house below 75 degrees. Setting the temperature 20 degrees or more below the outside temperature or running it with windows and/or doors open will cause the AC system to run excessively while it attempts to achieve the set temperature and may cause the HVAC system to freeze and malfunction.  If this happens, you may incur an additional charge for AC repair and you will not have any AC until the repair service is able to resolve the issue.  Refunds are not given for this.  We recommend keeping blinds and curtains closed during the day to limit light/heat from entering the property.  The hottest part of the day will be between 2pm and 7pm - you should not anticipate the AC to be able to start to drop the temperature lower until after that time has past and the sun has set.
We get asked about Palmetto Bugs all the time.  They have been in Florida for a LONG TIME!  They can be pretty big, they fly and will scurry around the floor but they are largely harmless. They do occasionally come inside, especially at night and during or after any storms. We have a lot more sightings during our summer rainy season.  We have regular pest control service at all of our properties to assist in managing them.  However, they will get in thru open doors, garages, windows, etc.  

Tree Frogs & Lizards are also indigenous to our tropical climate and will be around all of our properties.   These are good for the environment and are not anything that we treat for!  You may find the occasional one has gotten into the property and not made it out - or has gotten in and is hopping around.   There is nothing wrong with this - it is part of our local environment.  

This is really just informational.  They are a part of our Florida Tropical Climate.  No refunds are given for these issues. Thank you!

The safety and security of our guests and staff is extremely important to us.  Our Firearms and Weapons Policy is designed for the protection of our guests, vendors, staff, and owners, and pertains to the presence of firearms and weapons on the premises.  Agent recognizes that guests and vendors may legally possess firearms or weapons for a variety of legitimate purposes.  This policy has been developed to create a safe environment by providing appropriate guidance over the custody of firearms and weapons on our premises.  All of iTrip Vacations homes are private property.  Guests, who are lawfully permitted to possess a firearm or weapon, may bring such onto our premises for storage purposes only, with the understanding that they are personally responsible for the following:
  • Guests must abide by all Federal, State and local laws.
  • Firearm and weapons must be appropriately registered.
  • Firearms must be unloaded
  • No cleaning of firearms is permitted on the premises.
  • Firearms and weapons must be safeguarded and secured in either a locked, hard sided firearm container or a soft gun case provided by the guest, at all times and clearly labeled with their name and contact information.

We do not allow birds (including parrots), reptiles, livestock, fish or any other exotic animals in any of our properties at any time - regardless of being designated as pet friendly.  
Please be aware - when you bring in all of your groceries and load up the refrigerator - it is going to take time to cool everything back down!  Make sure you do not block the vent that brings in the air-flow.  The more full the refrigerator is - the harder it is to keep everything cool.  It needs unrestricted air-flow & circulation to be able to keep everything to the appropriate temperature.  Once you put everything in - please wait a minimum of 4 hours before reaching out that there is an issue.  We won't be able to do anything until that much time has already passed since you inserted your items.  Thank You!
Guests are not authorized to perform, schedule or coordinate any repairs to anything at the property during their stay.  Any issues that arise where maintenance or repairs are needed will be coordinated by the host only.
