We live in Jacksonville, but wanted a special celebration for our wedding anniversary, so decided to spend the night at Jenks B&B. Lovely and convenient B&B in a beautiful area of our city. Wonderful accomodations and inn-keepers! Highly recommned Jenks for any vacation or "stay-cation".

After 3 nights a week here I almost hate coming home. Tom and Ila Rae seem to love running this B and B in their beautifully restored home. You just never know with whom you will be sharing the fabulous breakfast table. To think my company wanted me to stay at hotel with powdered eggs for breakfast. So pleased I... More

Spending 3 nights at the Jenks House was one of the best decisions of our recent Fla. vacation. We left this delightful B&B feeling like we were leaving family. Ila Rae and Tom were interesting, lively and responsive to our every whim. We loved their company, as well as their lovely home. The plentiful freshly squeezed orange juice, direct from... More

We were treated to beautiful homemade concoctions for breakfast,... More

The owners were wonderful...very friendly, really interesting and fun to talk to. The house is just gorgeous, very spacious and elegant and really really comfortable. And the food was delicious. An added bonus is their... More

Simple but elegant decor with delicious organic food.

We have stayed at Jenks House several times a year for several years. It is convenient to our daughter's small home. The accommodations are always clean and very comfortable. The breakfasts are a lovely indulgence over our usual bowl of cereal. There is always a meat or animal protein, fresh fruit, fresh OJ squeezed from their own oranges and some... More

When traveling, I often opt to stay at a Bed and Breakfast or small inn because they provide an opportunity to meet engaging and knowledgeable people along with staying in unique rooms and dining on carefully executed meals. The Jenks House in Jacksonville, Florida (http://www.thejenkshouse.com/index.html) certainly fulfilled all expectations. First, the home was beautiful and welcoming. Hardwood floors gleamed and...
