We have just left your property and words can not express how we felt about our stay. The condo was great. I had all the amenities I needed to cook with which is a big plus for our family because they LOVE for me to cook for them. The unit was spacious, clean, modern, but also allowed us to feel we were at home. The beds were absolutely amazing as my daughter told me every day. We loved not having to take any beach equipment with us as it was provided and welcomed. My family enjoyed the trash chute being next to us so they did not have to walk far to take the trash out!!! Thank you again for allowing us to stay. This was our first time but will definitely not be our last!! The beach was excellent every day. We usually go to the gulf coast, but we have decided St. Augustine is our new favorite beach. We loved that there was something for everyone to do from beach sitting, surfing, golf, site seeing, and of course shopping.

This was our first stay here. I was so impressed with this condo. It was clean and we felt so comfortable there. It had everything we needed and we really hated to leave. The master bed was the most comfortable bed. Slept like a rock. we hope to stay again.

Beautiful Beach Condo!

This beach condo was beautiful and very comfortable. The condo had a well equipped kitchen, large oceanview balcony, large living area and spactious bedrooms. The beds were extremely comfortable as well! The property was very peaceful and had tons of amenities including an indoor/outdoor pool and several other pools located near the unit right next to the boardwalk leading to the beach. Historic St. Augustine was a short 10-15 minute drive from the property. We had a great time and have already recommended this unit to family and friends. My husband and I are also hoping to return and visit again soon. We had an amazing time. Thank you Cindy!

Just what we needed!

Date of Stay: 04/02/11 Review Submitted: 04/11/11

We just got back from a great time in this condo. It was very comfortable and the owner was so nice and great to work with. The condo was perfect for what we needed. It was so nice to have all the beach chairs and umbrellas provided. We didn’t have to take any of that kind of stuff. The kitchen is well stocked with all that we needed to prepare any meal. I especially appreciated the small gas grill on the deck. It was perfect for grilling some hamburgers. Also, the beds are extremely comfortable with all the extra blankets you would need. We are already making plans to return. Can't wait!

Owner response:Thank you Rick, you were a pleasure to have. Sorry, but the condo association does not permit grills on the balcony. Did not want to mislead anyone. There is a large and fun poolside grill area tha people love. Thanks, Cindy

Wonderful Vacation Condo!

I have stayed in this condo two years in a row during spring break. The condo is very clean, and has everything you could possibly need (beach towels, beach chairs, coffee pot, blender, microwave, washer & dryer, etc.). The location is great, and because it is located at the end of the building, it is very quiet. It is close to the pool and stairway. The pool area is nice and very well maintained. It is a very easy walk to the beach. I love the sliding doors off the master bedroom with the covered balcony. Both bedrooms have very comfortable beds and everything looks new. The owners have been honest and very easy to deal with. I would definately recommend staying here.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your wonderful words. Cannot wait to have you back for your third visit! Cindy & John

Date of Stay: 03/19/11 Review Submitted: 04/26/11

This was the first time my wife and I had the opportunity to stay at this complex. The property is beautiful, well maintained, and the short distance to the beach is ideal for walking. The condo is immaculate, nicely appointed, and has ample space for a second couple, or children. We thoroughly enjoyed daily coffee and lunches on the laini. Historic St. Augustine is about a 10-15 minute drive. We are looking forward to our next return!

Owner response:Thank you so much for taking the time to write these kind words. We look forward to having you again. Cindy & John

Wonderful Spring Break Week!

Guest: Susan Cotten (Auburn, AL)
Date of Stay: 03/12/11 Review Submitted: 04/25/11

My wife and I and our two daughters stayed here over our Spirng Break week and absolutely loved it. The beach was nice, clean, wide and totally uncrowded. We spent the evenings out on the screened in patio enjoying the breeze and the waves crashing in the distance. There was plenty of space and the kitchen was well-stocked with grocery stores in close proximity. "Old Town" St. Augustine is a quick drive from here. The kids enjoyed the heated pool since the ocean is still a little cool in Mid-March. This is the perfect place for a family of four and we highly recommend it. We'll be back! Thanks again Cindy!

Owner response:Thank you Susan and family. You were a pleasure to have. Cindy & John

Date of Stay: 01/14/11 Review Submitted: 03/25/11

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this unit. It was very clean when we arrived which makes for a very positive first impression. The condo is bright and airy and the furnishings reflect the seaside feeling. The beds were very comfortable..a must for extended visits. On the occasions when family/friends visited, the ample bed linens were greatly appreciated. The inflatable bed was a welcome addition. The kitchen was very well equipped..dishes, etc. were very nice. For those of us who enjoy cooking on vacation, the utensils and extras were well utilized. It was nice to have multiple TV's..also, the CD player was a nice addition. The full sized washer and dryer were also appreciated. The dining room table (although lovely), was a little too high for us to eat at but nothing different style chairs could not remedy. Access to the trash dumpster was very convenient...The owner was very attentive to our requests and was very easy to work with....Because we are anxiously looking forward to our return visit to this unit, we highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a great place to stay in St. Augustine.

Owner response:Thank you Jim and Vicki for your kind words. I enjoyed having you and look forward to seeing you again. Cindy

This is our second time staying at this condo in St. Augustine and we will return again! It is a bright, spacious unit with a beautiful view and the place is VERY CLEAN. The grounds are very nice and security is provided. We loved the ocean and enjoyed our morning walks on the beach. The owner has provided everything you can imagine including TV/DVD player in every room, a video library, cd player, games, beach chairs, beach towels...just to name a few. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need so all you need to do is bring your food. Another added plus in this unit is the washer and dryer. This is the perfect beach location that is not far from the historic district. We definitely recommend this condo!

Owner response:Thank you Ed and Jan. We enjoy having you and hope to see you again and again. Hope you and yours have wonderful Holidays. Cindy & John

Date of Stay: 08/26/10 Review Submitted: 11/27/10

My wife and I love Saint Augustine Beach and staying at Ocean Gallery. We have spent a week at this complex every summer for the past 20 years. We also like to stay for 2 and 3 day weekends and normally stay at a local hotel until we found that the owners of this condo will rent it for a 3 day weekend. This is a great unit with a great view! It is nicely decorated and very comfortable. It is lke a home away from home without the stresses of home. The unit is in excellent condition with upper end furnishings. If you are looking for a place to spend a romantic weekend this is the place. As a side note the owners are very easy to work with and quick to respond to your rental inquiry.

Best Vacation Ever!

Guest: loriski76 (Savannah, GA)
Date of Stay: 06/28/10 Review Submitted: 07/04/10

This was by far the best condo I have ever stayed in. I completely over packed and over bought...this condo had everything that we needed! Next time, and believe me...we will be booking this condo again, we will just bring clothes and food. It was spotlessly clean, very well equipped, and conveniently located to the beach and pool. My and my husband's favorite things about the condo were the ocean view from the balcony, and the wonderful bed in the master bedroom...it was the best sleep we have ever gotten! It was so good, in fact, that I have contacted the owner to find out where she purchased the mattress so that we can buy one for our bed at home! My two-year old daughter's favorite thing about the condo was all of the kids' dvds that were there for her to watch from the comfort of the queen size bed in the guest bedroom. We will definitely recommend this condo to friends and family.

Guest: Carol from Orlando (Orlando)
Date of Stay: 06/07/10 Review Submitted: 06/10/10

This unit is beautifully decorated and well equiped. The furniture was extremly comfortable and well maintained. There was four of us but the unit could easily fit six comfortably. It has all the ammenities that you could think of, untensils, blender coffee maker ect. It has a comfy porch with a great view. When we walked to the beach we saw several turtles in the dunes, which was fun to watch. The hot tub and pool were also very nice. The price was more than fair for all the things we got. Beachfront, porch, pool hot tub ect. The owner was always reachable for questions through the email and phone which was fantastic, because I looked at several places in St. Augustine and Florida and it was easy to choose this unit.I would highly recommend this unit to anyone.

VERY CLEAN--Spacious--Great Condo with great patio ocean view--Beautiful Resort--Owner is Super nice

Guest: CH (Wichita, KS)
Date of Stay: 05/29/10 Review Submitted: 06/18/10

My first time to stay in a condo in Florida. Our party consisted of four adults and two small children. We found the resort to be really nice and the residents/guests and staff to be friendly and helpful. The grounds were manicured and lush, the resort itself was easy to get around with large, very clean pools close by every condo. This particular condo is a 3 minute walk to the beach. The condo has really nice comfortable furntiture. It is bright, clean and cheery. The master bedroom bed was awesome, no heavenly--the owner thought of everything! Every room has a TV and DVD player with a video library for any taste that is pretty amazing. Towels and sheets were abundant, as well as a stocked kitchen for all your needs, ie--spices, coffee filters, paper towels, ect. Just bring your eats! Beach towels, chairs, and all the amenities were available, too. Full sized washer and dryer was very accommadating. The owner literally thought of every need for the occupant to have a home away from home. We had a wonderful time with our family and would love the opportunity to rent from this owner again! She was quick to respond with any questions we had and made this reservation simple to expedite. Photos are fairly accurate, I was more impressed when we arrived there. We were a short drive to some great places to eat and shop. Loved the SaltGrass Restaurant! Thanks, Cindy for a memorable, relaxing place to stay!

My husband and I stayed for 5 days and had a blast! It is in the perfect location for the beach and not far from the city. It was nice and quiet. The condo was exceptionally clean and we had plenty of space. You can see the beach from the balcony and only a short walk to the pool and ocean. We will definitely return!

My friend from the UK and I recently stayed in this beautiful condo in St. Augustine. We were very comfortable and everything was immaculate. We liked the new boardwalk to the beach and the security within the complex. There is so much to see and do in St. Augustine and even though I live in Florida, I learn something new every time I visit. Definitely hope to come back and would recommend this condo to my friends and family.

Our first time in St. Augustine...loved every minute. We had four people (2 couples) in our party and had a lot of privacy...very spacious. It was so cold in January 2010 that we were not able to enjoy the beach, but the heated pool and hot tub were perfect. Condo is close to everything and easy to get around. Beautiful grounds and clean and comfortable condo. Thanks for a great time:-)
