Large storage units can be useful during a household move, renovation, military transition, or business expansion. They may also provide room for recreational equipment, an eligible vehicle, or belongings that no longer fit comfortably at home.
Wedged between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway on a four-square-mile barrier island in Duval County, the city packs a remarkable amount of life-and a remarkable amount of gear-into a very constrained footprint.
SecureSpace Self Storage Atlantic Beach offers 10x20 and 10x25 units at 1770 Mayport Road.
These are the facility's two largest sizes.
A 10x20 unit provides approximately 200 square feet of floor space, while a 10x25 provides approximately 250 square feet.
Both have a 10-foot-wide layout, but the 10x25 includes five additional feet of depth. That extra room may be useful for long recreational equipment, a larger furniture collection, or a layout that includes an access aisle.
The facility does not offer 10x30 units.
General room-count comparisons can provide a starting point, but they do not guarantee fit. Furniture dimensions, box counts, door clearance, and the amount of open floor space needed for retrieval all affect capacity.
A 10x20 may accommodate a combination of:
Mattresses and disassembled bed frames
Sofas, chairs, and dining furniture
Dressers, cabinets, and bookshelves
Clean, dry appliances
Moving boxes and storage containers
Bicycles, kayaks, and boards
Tools and permitted equipment
Packaged business inventory
An eligible car or motorcycle
A household with oversized furniture, several appliances, or a large number of boxes may need more space. Measure the full inventory rather than assuming that everything from a certain number of rooms will fit.
A 10x25 may be a better option when:
A 10x20 would require overly tight stacking
Longer equipment must be stored flat
Belongings will be retrieved at different times
A walkway is important
Household goods are being stored with an eligible vehicle
Business inventory needs to remain organized and accessible
The larger unit is not automatically the better value. Compare actual measurements and decide whether the additional depth will serve a practical purpose.
A large unit can bridge a gap between closing or lease dates. It may also support a phased move when furniture and boxes are transferred over several days.
A 10x20 or 10x25 may provide temporary room during a PCS move, deployment, or transition between housing assignments.
Month-to-month leases and online payments are available. Service members should review billing, notice, coverage, and move-out provisions before leaving the area.
Removing furniture and appliances can open working space for flooring, painting, and repairs.
Items exposed to construction dust, rain, or damp conditions should be cleaned and dried before storage.
Large units may work for permitted bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards, fishing equipment, camping gear, and outdoor furniture.
Measure long equipment carefully and allow enough room to move it through the door without damaging nearby items.
Businesses may store permitted inventory, tools, furniture, fixtures, shipping materials, and seasonal displays.
A storage unit cannot operate as an office, workshop, storefront, manufacturing area, customer pickup point, or staffed distribution center.
Atlantic Beach includes cottages, condominiums, planned communities, and detached homes with widely varying storage capacity.
Atlantic Beach's compact barrier-island geography means that even high-value properties rarely feature the sprawling multi-bay garages common in inland suburbs.
Supplemental storage may be helpful for:
Beach and boating equipment
Seasonal furniture
Moving boxes
Household overflow
Renovation storage
Business tools and supplies
Eligible recreational vehicles
The appropriate unit size depends on the belongings, not the home's value, neighborhood, or bedroom count.
Some households use temporary storage while reorganizing garages or ground-level rooms before severe weather.
Many homes in the area are also equipped with structural garage flood vents as required under FEMA guidelines.
Flood risk, construction requirements, and building design vary by property. Review the information for the specific address and follow official emergency guidance.
A storage unit should not be treated as flood or storm protection. It cannot guarantee protection from water intrusion, wind, power loss, or other severe-weather effects.
Eligible vehicles may be stored in qualifying 10x20 or 10x25 drive-up units.
Acceptance depends on:
Vehicle dimensions
Unit and door clearance
Drive-up access
Current availability
Registration and insurance
Vehicle condition
Required preparation
Facility approval
Confirm eligibility before arrival. Do not assume that every car, SUV, motorcycle, golf cart, boat, or trailer will fit or be accepted.
Outdoor parking is available for eligible cars, boats, RVs, and other motor vehicles.
Parking is uncovered. Space dimensions, documentation, vehicle condition, availability, and facility approval requirements apply.
Commercial trailers and fleet vehicles should be confirmed directly rather than treated as automatically eligible.
Begin with a complete inventory and the measurements of the largest items.
Place belongings that will remain stored longest toward the back. Frequently retrieved boxes, tools, seasonal items, or business supplies should remain closer to the entrance.
A simple layout may include separate areas for:
Furniture
Boxes
Outdoor equipment
Business property
Frequently accessed items
Vehicle clearance, when applicable
Label containers on multiple sides and keep a written or photographic inventory.
Stable freestanding shelving may help organize smaller items when permitted. Do not attach shelves, racks, cabinets, or hooks to unit walls without approval.
An aisle makes a deep unit easier to use but reduces total packing capacity.
Leave a walkway when you expect to retrieve individual items during the rental. A tighter layout may be practical when everything will be removed at once, provided stacks remain stable and heavy boxes are not placed on fragile furniture.
Clean and fully dry belongings before move-in.
For furniture:
Disassemble removable parts when practical
Keep hardware in labeled bags
Use clean pads or suitable covers
Protect corners and finished surfaces
Avoid placing tape directly on furniture
For appliances:
Remove food and residue
Drain remaining water
Dry the interior
Secure loose components for transport
Keep doors slightly open when recommended by the manufacturer
Do not tightly seal damp items in non-breathable plastic.
SecureSpace Atlantic Beach provides standard, non-climate-controlled storage.
Items requiring controlled temperature, humidity management, or specialized preservation may need another solution. Antiques and specialized artwork should not be promoted for storage in these units.
Standard storage cannot guarantee prevention of heat-related deterioration, moisture exposure, mold, corrosion, pests, flooding, or storm damage.
Follow manufacturer instructions for furniture, electronics, appliances, batteries, and recreational equipment.
Drive-up options are available, but the configuration of the specific 10x20 or 10x25 unit should be verified before renting.
Gate access is available daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The facility has an access gate and logged access.
Customers should bring their own moving equipment and assistance. The property does not provide carts, dollies, elevators, covered loading, loading docks, moving-pod placement, or semi-truck access.
Digital video recording, overnight surveillance, individual unit alarms, and intercom service are not offered.
Customers can review availability and complete available rental steps online.
ACH and credit card payment plans are supported. Online rental does not guarantee same-day access or immediate gate-code delivery.
Month-to-month leases remain subject to current rates, fees, notice provisions, and move-out terms.
The largest available size is 10x25. SecureSpace Atlantic Beach does not offer 10x30 units.
A 10x20 may work when the inventory fits without unstable stacking and leaves enough room for the desired level of access.
Choose the additional depth when you have longer items, need a walkway, or cannot organize the inventory safely in a 10x20.
Outdoor parking is available for eligible boats, RVs, cars, and other vehicles. Smaller eligible vehicles or watercraft may fit in a qualifying drive-up unit.
No. Drive-up options are available, but the selected unit's access type must be verified.
No. The facility provides standard, non-climate-controlled storage.
Gate access is available daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
A 10x20 or 10x25 may provide practical room for a move, renovation, military transition, eligible vehicle, recreational equipment, or permitted business inventory.
Measure the largest items, determine whether an aisle is needed, and verify the selected unit's access configuration before renting.
