We stayed at the Ocean Gallery for Spring/Easter break and had an excellent time. The condo was very updated, clean and spacious and had all the amenities you would need. The property was very well kept and the grounds were beautiful. The beach access was just a short walk away and the indoor/outdoor pool was even closer. The weather was a bit on the cool side the week we were there so the heated indoor/outdoor pool was perfect in any temperature. The resort was also just minutes away from historic, downtown St. Augustine where there's so much to do and see. Its a beautiful place to visit and we definitely plan on returning. Finally, I must add how accommodating the owner, Jonathan, was. He was always very quick to respond to any calls or emails we had and was truly a pleasure to work with!

A Truly Relaxing Week

This was our first trip to St. Augustine and will certainly not be our last. We met our two adult children and had a memorable time at Ocean Gallery. All of us were thrilled when we walked into our condo for the first time. It was so spacious and beautifully decorated. A favorite spot to sit and relax was the lovely, lania overlooking the lagoon. The condo amenities were fabulous and the proximity to the beautiful St. Augustine beach was wonderful. We were also within walking distance of some wonderful restaurants (the Wildflower Cafe was a favorite). The condo grounds are beautifully maintained. During the course of our stay, whenever we mentioned that we were staying at Ocean Gallery, everyone said that we had chosen the best place on the beach. We concur. Jonathan was very helpful from our initial contact. We feel very fortunate to have dealt with such a responsive owner. We would not hestitate to work with Jonathan again. More Review Details

Jonathan, we really enjoyed our stay at your beautiful condo during our Spring Break with our daughters. Your condo was immaculately clean! The kitchen was updated nicely with granite and stainless appliances and was very comfortable to prepare meals in (when we chose to eat in). There were a few things that we would have appreciated like barstools at the counter as we ran out of places to seat people when we had friends over for dinner :( Also it would have been nice to have a coffee table in front of the couch! We didn't have any place to place drinks and popcorn while watching a movie. Also more linens and towels.... No sheets for the sofa bed and we always seemed to be without clean towels with four of us showering a couple times a day. (even with the washer and dryer....which was a lovely added bonus to the unit!) Back to the positives.....we adored the glass enclosed porch. We spent many a morning and evening out there drinking a cup of tea or having a glass of wine while enjoying the beautiful view of the fountain. Our daughters loved staying upstairs in the loft. It was their own private getaway spot!We would love to come back to stay at your condo next year! The best feature of all was the fact we did not have to worry about carrying a key around. The keyless entry was the best!!!

Condo was as described...interior updated, comfortable, and in a very upscale complex. Owner was great to work with and we enjoyed a very relaxing week in Northern Florida. Would like to travel back to Florida very soon and we would definitely try to rent this condo again.

My mom and sister and I had a wonderful relaxing week at the condo. What a kitchen...helped us to stay home and cook because it felt like home. We enjoyed visiting historic St Augustine and all that it has to offer but we especially liked the Shrine in Saint Augustine. We will be back. (Original recorded in Guest Ledger in condo).

Thank you for letting us stay. What a refreshment for our lives. We needed this. The weather was beautiful as always and the accomodations perfect. The upgraded kitchen was fantastic. I see why people retire to this state. Thanks again, Sunshine Porter (Comments in Guest Journal on display in condo)

This was an absolutely gorgeous condo with everything you would need to make yourself at home. I just can not say enough about the hospitality, the views and the Kitchen and tile floors. The extra bathroom was such a bonus for my children. I have visited quite a few condos over the years and I can say that this one is the best to date. Thanks so much.

All I can say is that the kitchen is great. That really made a difference for us as we cooked almost every night we were there. The stainless appliances are beautiful and that diswasher, you can hardly hear. St Augustine is wonderful to visit .. , steeped in history. We so enjoyed that and the beach, wow it is so great and uncrowded. Thaks and we will be back. (Comments in Guest Journal in Condo).

Jonathan: I just want to say how lovely your place is. This is our second time staying in a condo in Florida (first time at Ocean Gallery) with our children and I have to say your condo is like a home away from home. It is set up perfect for a larger family. I have 3 children. My boys slept upstairs and thought that was so cool. My daughter slept on the pull out sofa and my husband and I had the master bedroom, which was perfect!! We loved having the pool so close to us. The "regulars"....I guess you call them....were so incredibly pleasant and helpful. They would come visit with us at the pool and bring my boys bread to feed the fish in the coy pond....which was fun to watch! I have nothing negative to say. Our trip was fantastic and as you and everyone else knows that starts with where you're staying. With that said, thank you and your wife for opening up your home to us. We greatly appreciate and would love to come back!!

Our stay in this condo was great. We had a very relaxing week. Jonathan was great to work with and if we needed anything, he was just a phone call away. The condo had everything we needed for our stay. The master bedroom mattress was very comfortable and the condo is decorated beautifully. The lanai has to be the best feature, sitting and listening to the waterfall makes you want to take a nap! A short walk to the beach or a short drive and you can drive your car on the beach. We loved the fact that the community is gated. One of my husband's favorite features was the wide parking space for his vehicle. He didn't have to worry about any dings or scratches! Everything is within a short distance from food stores, restaurants to gas stations. We loved it and would definitely return!

Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Owner response: We enjoyed hosting Lisa and her family. We take great pride in hearing what a wonderful time our guests have had while staying in our vacation rental property.

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at this property. The property is clean, very updated, and all the amenities necessary to feel at home. The amenities of the condo, and the ability to make it "our home" for the week, along with the great proximity to the beach and restaurants, our fears were alleviated and we were able to have fun and relax. The beach speaks for itself, but it is a huge advantage to have a beautifully modern condo to enjoy also. The owners were very professional and beyond accomodating. Every representation made was honored without a hitch. We had a great time with the pool, the beach, the ocean, and even just staying in and ordering food! I would strongly recommend staying at this location. The beach is amazing!!

We ABSOLUTELY loved the condo! I stayed here for my sister's bachelorette weekend with 4 girls... and LOVED every minute of it! The condo was open, accomodating, and was just a gem! The condo truly made our experience in St Augustine worth while! I dealt with Jonathan the entire time, and he was amazing in himself! I would definitely rent this condo again,and would love to work with Jonathan to make things happen! Thank you Jonathan for making our weekend UNFORGETTABLE! Everything was great! We used the pool and spa a lot, and the condo had EVERYTHING we could think of! The whole condo was amazing, and the pictures do it no justice! It's that much better in person!

If your vacation plans include nonstop days of fun at the pool, and along the beach, consider Ocean Gallery as an ideal slice of home to enjoy after perfect days in the sun. My family and I enjoyed our stay there very much. We throughtly enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen the convinience of air conditioning and the beautiful balcony. My wife and I have two children between the ages of 5 and 7 years old, there’s plenty of room for everyone to enjoy a movie or board game together. we enjoyed a greater sense of togetherness while there, it felt like a real vacation. Lois and Jonathan were amazing! They are the nicest people we have meet so far while vacationing. The way they keep their condo shows you the dedication and hospitality they posses when caring for people that stay in their condo. They truely understand what you need when families or anybody for that matter goes on vacation. I can't say enought about them. My family and I found our perfect getaway vacation. We are coming back every year to vacation there at Ocean Gallery with Lois and Jonathan. We enjoyed the luxury and privacy that we found in this condo. Very happy vacationers.
